Let's hear it...

 

[MaddHatter]

Rookie WR Dwayne Jarrett is inactive.

 

[jmsne]

run steven run!!

 

[Big Score]

Anybody have an idea on the projected split in carries between Foster & Williams?

I don't know what is worse. Projecting this or guessing how many jelly beans are in the candy jar.I would probably wait this one out this week if I could but if I were between a rock and a hard place, I would go with DeAngelo Williams. He can catch and is probably more favorable than Foster, when considering how Foster has been there for few years and still never ran away with the job.ETA - Yeah, I know Foster can catch but my educated guess is that Williams will see plenty of passing downs.

Thanks Hatter, but I was wondering if anyone had any solid info. Guess Fox is keeping that under wraps.

Nah, sorry, hope all goes well today though.

My guess would be 60/40 given what they have done in the pass. I think we are going to see more screens from Carolina this year, so it will be interesting to see what happens.As for St Louis, I think Jackson is not going to have a huge day, even though I am still starting him in my league. He had his worst game against Carolina last year, and the Panthers are pretty good in the middle with Jenkins and Morgan coming back. Plus, if the Rams are smart, they will attack the deep middle, as the safeties for the Panthers suck. Could be a big game for the receivers and TE.

 

[dcham77]

As Foster has been named the starter and I don't see him having too much trouble getting going against a soft STL run D, I see it 60-40 Foster (maybe even more). Start him with confidence...

 

[bulger2holt]

run steven run!!

I hope he catches 10 passes out of the backfield too, since my league is a ppc league. 20 carries 150 yds 2 tds, 10 rec 100 yds 2 tds Rams 35 panthers 17

Adam Carriker will have something to say about that. The dude is a behemoth 6'6 315 and put togather

No doubt about that as he is a monster, but this is his first game and I don't think his presence is enough to mask the poor LB we have. I don't think we'll be 31st (or whatever it was) v. the run again this year, but I highly doubt we are in the top 67% even.

 

[ThePittbully]

Why is jarret not playing? How many WR's they taking into this game?

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

4. Smith, Colbert, Carter and Ryne Robinson. Robinson gets the nod because he is returning punts. Jarret is going to have to knock Carter out of WR3.

 

[ThePittbully]

ok I didnt know about Robinson, thanks for the info

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

Smith getting a ton of targets. 3 catches so far.

 

[CA_7]

Gee-whiz....S Smith targeted on 5 of first 6 plays

 

[Despyzer]

How long do the Rams continue with the single coverage on Steve Smith?

 

[CA_7]

10 yd TD to Drew Carter

 

[Despyzer]

Rams defense did not look sharp.

 

[ThePittbully]

10 yd TD to Drew Carter

go drew, bump up that trade value

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

Good drive by the Panthers, but their running game still looks suspect. Delhomme did a good job of spreading the ball around after targeting Smith in the first part of the drive.

 

[CA_7]

Rams had B Leonard in at FB....

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

The rumors of Holts demise are premature.

 

[CA_7]

Just a few carries but SJax looking fast and powerful

 

[Willowdoc]

Did they really have Julius Peppers covering Dante Hall??????? And when did Hall become a WR3?

It was a throw into the flat. And another catch for Hall.

 

[CA_7]

Hall was lined up in backfield, Rams tried a quick hitch out to Hall. Bulger just hit Hall again. Rams don't have Bennett

 

[shakeybarn]

Nice... just came back into the house... Torry with his 80% TD ;-)...

 

[Johnny Ice]

The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Torry Holt has a degenerative knee.

 

[mightyeskimo]

Hey Steven! Some lofty goals there pal! How 'bout putting it in the endzone next time your that close!

He blew up Hartwig to get to DeAngelo for the loss. The kid looks good.

 

[BassNBrew]

Classic line....3rd and long, the Panthers haven't been good on that all season long.

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

:badposting:

 

[North]

No catches by SJAX so far

 

[North]

How many false starts will McMicheal have today??

 

[CA_7]

Orlando Pace injury to right arm, trainers on field

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

Uh oh. Pace is down. Looking at his arm.

 

[[icon]]

Uh oh... Pace down... arm injury (left).

 

[CA_7]

Pace walking to locker room, 1st half almost over.

 

[RBM]

Pace heading to the locker room

 

[North]

Nice play calling St. Louis. 1st and 10 in the red zone and you revert to your old ways by putting the most overrated QB in the shotgun. There was still 1:50 left and you completely screwed up any chance of a TD.

This is what frustrated me so much in the 1st half of the season last year.

P.S. A little worried that SJAX has zero receptions through the 1st half.

I don't think Bulger is overrated. He's good.

 

[CA_7]

Great return by Hall to CAR 17, right up the wedge and made a nice cut but was caught from behind

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Holt 6/44 and a TD. Can't wait until he's 100 percent.

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

Nice DeAngelo screen pass and then FUMBLE.

 

[CA_7]

Hate to say it but Foster has looked much better than DWill and that fumble will not help him get more carries

 

[meanjoegreen]

Beautiful hookup from Delhomme to Smith.

 

[patriarchz]

Did SJax just fumble? What a bum...

 

[The_Hoser]

I'm watching the game on Sopcast and could not figure out how the hell it was 14-13 on my LiveTracker and 13-7 on my screen ... then I found out.

Damn it.
