......and......Anyway it's likely RBBC IMO.The guy has missed one regular season game in the last seven years
I know I still have images of that AFC game fresh in my mind's eye... I'd guess many others do too....and that damned Chunky Soup commercial!The guy has missed one regular season game in the last seven years (how many other RBs can claim this) and says he is going to play. I would think those two facts alone would make this an easy decision for anyone.
... and name another RB that you can count on for that kind of dependability, injury or not.......and......The guy has missed one regular season game in the last seven years
Nearly lost in the wailing over Brady's knee was news that LaDainian Tomlinson suffered a sprained toe late in the Panthers loss. While he claims "it's not that bad," that's not what you want to hear from the anchor of your lineup. Darren Sproles would see more action if LT is sidelined, but Devin Hester is the better handcuff. The rookie from LSU is significantly bigger than the 5'6" Sproles, who is not built to handle 20-plus carries per game.
Who came in and got a carry inside the 10 yard line when LT initially suffered the toe sprain?[/rhetorical]Here's an excerpt from the daily spam I get from Sporting News (apparently Devin Hester is LTs handcuff):
