bingo. I can;t see myself taking this sort of risk at this point of the season... especially with established runner available to me... but again, the numbers he puts up at CAR, under a normal full load very well could impress. CAR hasn;t been studly as of late v the run...Hopefully Morris sheds a lot more light during the week... Put the Caddy in the junkyard already
NEVER, I repeat NEVER doubt Peyton Hillis. Until the drug policy comes crashing down on this guy I will continue to start him over pretty much anyone. If the defense was allowed to put 22 players on the field I would still start Hillis.
I don't know if this has been a topic of discussion, but Hillis has to jacked up. He sure looks it, and it seems there are a lot of people thinking the same thing.

Isn't Thomas Jones averaging 4.2 ypc?
you thought incorrect about Caddy being a non-factor. If the game is flowing right, Caddy will be the third down back but he is clearly the preferred pass catching option (better hands possibly? but more likely better blocker)
that seems to be the biggest thing holding him back right now. It seems as if they are mostly using Blount as a 2nd weapon to beat up on a tired defense...I'd love to see him get more 1st half carries and end up around 22-24 carries. I think he's going to have a nice game this weekend as I don't see Carolina jumping out to a lead where they would need to rely on the passing game (Caddy) to get them back in it. They s/b able to pound Blount all game long.
OK translation+ this week against CAR they are going to use the half of the playbook he does know, RB2 material.
I think he's just referring to last week, which was actually 1.7ypc (19/32). As a KC homer, I'm happy we have both guys. Jones has been solid in most weeks, and while he may not put up the fantasy numbers, he is proving to be very valuable to the Chiefs.There hasn't really been any news about Charles this week. He's never mentioned when they talk about McCluster, Waters, or any of the other banged up players. Don't even see him listed on any injury reports. I have to assume he's practicing, and will be playing. For what it's worth, Denver has been playing a 4-3 instead of their 3-4 due to injuries. One starting LB is still out (Ayers), and their other starting LB, leading tackler and captain DJ Williams, got popped for a DUI Fri morning and may not play. Den gave up almost 500 rushing yards over the last two games with him in there...without DJ in there, the Chiefs will unleash hell on Denver's D. Charles should be starting for you either way.As for Blount, I picked him up and started him in week 8, sat him for week 9. He'll be in my lineup week 10. He's not the starter, you have to play the matchups with him, and this is a good one. I wouldn't bench my the top RB's for him though, he's still a large gamble at this point.
I think somebody is still tallying up Charles' rushing stats from week 17 last year vs Denver.
46) L.Blount up the middle to TB 25 for 12 yards (N.Harris).
Are you still on the train? Blount's TD drive today. He is destroying the entire field left, right and middle1-10-TB13
Love this guy but he needs to watch this stuff. If he makes this a habit, he will get tee'd up and laid out.
That was a rather impressive that he'd have the wherewithal to get that hand down mid spin to keep him up the arm long enough to "dunk" the ball over the goal line. This kid has some goods, and his team rallies around him and Freeman. I like him as the future in Tampa.steelwind said:
Interesting.As it is right now, Blount looks good for next year if he can learn the whole playbook. I've got him and Jahvid Best and will only be able to keep one for next season, if Blount can keep up his progress he might be the better keeper.
I actually like the way TB uses Blount. You see what is happening to rookies like Mathews and Best. They get over used then break down and then their production is even worse. It is true what they say. The jump from college to NFL level is still difficult. It's even more difficult for RBs who takes a pounding on every carry.I think this RBBC is keeping Blount fresh. Leading up to the end of 2010 he could see a full load during fantasy playoffs.
Yep, TB became really predictable once they got the lead and CAR started loading the box on 1st/2nd down. In fact, every one of Blount's carries came on 1st/2nd. Blount was being met in the backfield as soon as he was handed the ball on a lot of plays in the 2nd half. Regardless, you have to feel good about his odds of putting up good numbers with teams like SF, WAS, DET, and SEA coming up.With the way his FF success is dictated by his team's lead, he's sort of like Michael Turner 2.0
Would love to hear why you think he's "unfairly" treated by fans and media.
It already IS a habit. There are 3-4 different videos of him hurdling would be tacklers.
Nevah bench Peyton Hillis.
