LT Predictions For Monday Night Football (1 Viewer)

I predict he'll be standing on the sidelines a lot saying "Coach, put me in! I'm ready!"

After the game, he'll be kinda down, but his parents will cheer him up by taking him to Chuck-E-Cheese.

Stated like a true LT owner.
Stated like someone who has watched him play and knows he is not quite yet done.That and someone who has seen Sproles do nothing in the run game and the team knows they need to run the ball better and more to win...he will get the rock.Count on it.
 
I am an LT owner but even if he weren't on my roster I would still predict:

95 rushing yards

42 receiving yards

1 or 2 TD's

San Diego will score early and often. My only concern is that they might pull LT in the 4th because the game will be out of hand.

 
18 carries...76 yards...2 TD's

4 receptions....32 yards...0 TD's

......and a lot of haters licking their wounds come Tuesday morning.

my guess is you havent seen denvers defense play this year...L.T will be lucky to get 50 yards and a TD...he wont be used in the passing game hardly at all...a dump pass for 6 yards MAYBE...it kills me to sound so down on him after i franchised him as my # 1 RB this year...ugh

You are doing it wrong. You're supposed to wait until my prediction totally tanks, then correct me. I have seen Denver's defense and I'm not sold. If the Denver D can shut down San Diego then they'll have won me over, but they have to prove it first. Dallas and New England are not the powerhouses we thought they were at the start of the season and I'm not impressed by wins over Cincy, Cleveland, or Oakland. IMO San Diego is their first real test.

:rolleyes: I agree. Dallas hasnt been anything better than Mediocre, and the pats have been hot & cold (mostly cold) something is wrong with Brady as I've seen him overthrow receivers that are wide open and I dont think you can give denver the full credit for that.and the Pats run game has never really been outstanding, so I'm inclined to agree that we will know in a week just how good they are.
 
13 rushes 32 yds 0 TDs

1 Week Later @KC

25 rushes 125 3 TDs (begging Norv to feed him all game long to get his stats up)

oh dont get me wrong...i believe that the chargers will win...but L.T will have little to do with the outcome...i hope im wrong as i have him inserted in my line up

and 2 weeks ago we heard the first test would be Dallas, then after the win we heard that Dallas wasn't any good and the first test would be against New England. Then Denver beat New England and we hear that something isn't right with brady and New England isn't the powerhouse from years past. Now after the New England win we hear that the first real test will be against San Diego. I predict that after Denver beats San Diego that we will hear that the Chargers are underachieving this year and the Broncos first real test will be against Baltimore. The bad thing about that is that we will have to hear about that for 2 weeks, because Denver has a bye. This is a broken record, I get it, the Broncos first real test will be on whichever team finally does beat them. It's about time some of you start giving Denver some credit that they deserve, most of you (me included) only picked them to win about 5 games all year, and they are there already, and it's because the defense is much improved. They are not Superbowl caliber, but I hope the Chargers feel the same way as Ray T and Statcruncher do, because they will get beat if they overlook the Broncos.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Cowboys and Patriots are not as good as everyone thought they were gonna be. That and the fact that the Broncos are a surprise. I'm sure as a Broncos fan you didn't expect them to be 5-0 and one have one of the best defenses in the league thus far.

No I most definitely didn't, see the (me included) part of my post.
 
As someone who drafted LT in the 1st round, I seem to have no choice this week other than benching him because I have to choose 5 out of the following 7 (2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 Flex) in a 1 PPR league:

LDT

Knowshon Moreno vs SD

Benson vs Houston

Colston vs Giants

Fitz vs Sea

Reggie Bush vs Giants

Santana Moss vs KC

I have to start Fitz vs Sea; Benson vs Texans

Now I really do not want to bench Knowshon vs a bad SD run D that let Mendenhall run all over them

So I have 2 spots remaining.

I just cannot bench Colston and see him get 8 catches 100 yds and 2 TDs on my bench. The Giants- Saints game should be a high scoring one.

So that leaves one opening and have to choose from LDT vs Broncs; Reggie B vs NYG and Santana Moss vs KC

I am leaning towards Santana Moss only because the KC pass D is so horrible....look at the passing yards and TDs they have given up and Wash is at home for this.

I really want to start LDT but please tell me how do I start him....over who???? Especially since I am so scared of a 50 yard rushing, 1 catch 6 yard passing day from this 1st round pick of mine :boxing:

lolzYou need to not take people's opinions so personally. It will be a very long season if you do. You are correct, I never expected the Broncos to be 5 - 0 and I don't expect them to go 16 - 0. That is not me attacking your team, it is simply the opinion of some dude who plants himself in front of the TV and watches games when he gets a chance. I am notoriously slow to "give credit" until it is earned and I haven't seen Denver earn it yet.Luck plays a big role in the NFL and the job of every fan, commentator, and fantasy football junkie is to differentiate between what is lucky and what is truly good. Fluke plays, lucky bounces, playing good teams when they are having a bad day, or having a schedule with some cupcakes on it are all luck factors. Denver's results are well above where I thought they would be but I'm not ready to assign it all to a miraculous turnaround yet.
 
If Sammy Morris could run for almost 70 yds in Denver, I'd think LT should be able to get more than 30 yards rushing at home.....even if the Chargers Oline is in shambles.

With all due respect to the Denver defense I view this game as a litmus test to see if LT has anything left. It's the first game LT should be completely healthy in a long time so no more excuses.

That is my thought as well.Denver's D is undoubtedly an improvement over previous years. Benson had 100+ yards and a TD against the Broncos D. Despite the year Benson is having, I still believe that LT has more skills then Benson.

wasnt that the reason we all bought into the L.T is back hype??? He was healthy for the first time in the past few seasons going into THIS season...playing in pre-season games and everything...funny thing is he didnt look like the L.T of old in the pre-season either...so some of us ignored that and figured he was just not running hard , pacing himself or whatever..then he plays the first game of the season vs the team he always dominated...the hated raiders...he looked average at best before he got injured AGAIN...now hes '' healthy '' AGAIN :confused: so here we go...AGAIN...i think (and i pray im wrong) that this game will be the game that everyone finds out and accepts , once and for all , that L.T is no longer a fantasy force...

LT averaged over 4 ypc on the road at Oak, and scored a TD before getting hurt. I thought he looked good behind some poor blocking. Be interesting to see how he looks Monday night. I'll be at the Q with my #21 jersey on. :goodposting:
 
Rushing: 18-114-2 TD's

Receiving: 4-22-0 TD's

The Chargers solve their red zone issues this week by scoring 5 TD's from the red zone. Rivers will have a great game. too.

 
Teams have averaged 19.4 carries per game vs. the Broncos and I think the Chargers playing at home have a better offense than anyone they've faced to date. LT should get around 18 carries for 80 and a TD plus 3-21 receiving.

 
So I guess its either feast or famine this week!

LT got in the first game - came back against Pitt - no way to gauge if he's done or not IMO

What I do know is SD has a nice pass game, lousy OL and Sproles is not a workhorse or even an option in the redzone.

After a bye week to rest I have a feeling LT comes out strong ....but even if he doesnt at worst you have a Thomas Jones type back - 40-50 yds and a cheap TD or 2. In fact I am struggling ver starting LT or TJ since they are so similar at this point.

I like the guy this week and see him putting together a nice game - not a huge statement LT like game but something like 80 yds and 1-2 GL TDs - enough for his owners to be happy.

 
At the risk of being directed to the ACF, would you start LT over K. Smith @ GB? There, I said it....that wasn't so hard.

That's pretty realistic, although I expect a few less yards. He also has at least a 50/50 shot a TD, IMO.

Because beating a mediocre and overrated SD team will tell us something that beating a overrated and mediocre Dallas and NE team didn't?I'd understand this viewpoint if they were playing a really good team like NYG,NO, or Indy....but SD lolREALLY?

Since when has LT not been a threat to score everytime he touches the ball?
 
Just traded for him 30 minutes ago.

I still have faith.

People calling him as dusted are drawing from a pretty small sample size this year.

Run LT Run. Prove ur knockers wrong.

for about 2 seasons now
 
We all agree the days of LT's 25 Point Averages is GONESKIS.

But 15+ still slots in very nicely at 7th on my scoring tables this year. (0.5 PPR)

He still has that very much within him.

People calling him DUSTED. What does DUSTED mean in ur eyes. 10 point average ?? 12 point average ?? Unstartable average ???

Im intrigued
