Mathews On Short Leash (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

What do you do here if you own Mathews and Battle? Play for TDs? Assume it's no big deal? Buying low may not have been the greatest idea ever...

You start Mathews without thinking twice.

I did think twice about it and going with Mathews.

The cream rises to the top. Mathews is talented. Battle isn't. He has one speed, one gear, one direction.A.J. and Norv will be the last ones to find out that he sucks.

Only twice??

Well maybe more then twice. To late now.

I own both, and I'm starting Mathews over Battle.

 

[Tau837]

Big ####in night for this kid. Hope he shows that he has some balls and is not so ok with getting dicked around.

 

[Raider Nation]

I hope Battle steps on a land mine on the 20 yard line.

 

[Nucker101]

I hope Battle steps on a land mine on the 20 yard line.

 

[wormburner]

I hope Battle steps on a land mine on the 20 yard line.

I hope Norv's throat swallows the rest of his empty head.

 

[Raider Nation]

Battle still in there. It's very important to get him into a rhythm.

 

[RBM]

Battle still in there. It's very important to get him into a rhythm.

He looks explosive

He may get 100 yards if he gets 40 touches.

 

[Raider Nation]

If you need 2 yards, Jackie Battle will get you 2 yards. If you need 5 yards, Jackie Battle will get you 2 yards.

 

[R Dizzle]

Looks like Mathews will sit for the remainer of the game for not catching that pass.

 

[Nickdi]

I hope Battle steps on a land mine on the 20 yard line.

I'd prefer norv turner steps on one but either is good

 

[Quibbler]

If you need 2 yards, Jackie Battle will get you 2 yards. If you need 5 yards, Jackie Battle will get you 2 yards.

Just give him the rock all 5 downs and you're set. Oh, wait...

 

[johnnyboy8102]

If he isn't condemned to death by stoning.

 

[Nucker101]

Looks like Mathews will sit for the remainer of the game for not catching that pass.

He should take lessons from Jackie Battle on how to be an NFL starter.

He looks explosive

3 carries for 6 yards. EXPLOSIVE oh I forgot to add, I catch for 3 yards

The one 4 feet over his head?

No fumbles = EXPLOSIVE!

 

[Raider Nation]

Yeah, that was a joke also.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Battle starts, Chargers go up 7-0. Starting to see a pattern here.

 

[Nucker101]

Looks like Mathews will sit for the remainer of the game for not catching that pass.

The one 4 feet over his head?

Jackie Battle would have caught that pass one-handed with his eyes closed. And then gained 2 yards.

 

[RBM]

Sarcasm meter way down

And what's with the Ronnie Brown #### on 3rd down? He is beyond done.

 

[wormburner]

I hope Battle steps on a land mine on the 20 yard line.

I'd prefer norv turner steps on one but either is good

If he weren't a recycled NFL retread, what occupation would Norv be qualified for in the real world?/other than testing land mines.

Jackie Battle would have caught that pass one-handed with his eyes closed. And then gained 2 yards.

And quickly turn into a 2 yard gain.

Norv wants to utilize Brown's speed.

I don't get that one at all, I saw all of his carries last season and he's no longer an NFL caliber RB.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Battle is clearly a man's man, why else would he be getting all these carries?

 

[RBM]

As the clock ticks my joking mood is going to turn to anger.

He won't have a touch in the first qtr.

 

[Raider Nation]

Just gotta keep pounding Jackie Battle. Sooner or later, the defense will get tired and those 1-yard runs become 2-yard runs.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Matthews looked a tad bit better than Battle on that carry.

 

[RBM]

Here we go

 

[Raider Nation]

Wow. What do you know?

 

[SacramentoBob]

Looks like Battle softened up the defense enough to give Mathews some decent runs.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Is this seriously all Mathews can muster? Battle can do this #### in his sleep. Please.

 

[SacramentoBob]

No carries for Battle and the Chargers are punting.

 

[Nucker101]

No carries for Battle and the Chargers are punting.

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

I hope Battle steps on a land mine on the 20 yard line.

I hope Norv's throat swallows the rest of his empty head.

Now I have to say fellas, that comments like these along with the Legatron threads have really added an extra dimension of entertainment to fantasy football. The last week's story line have been pure gold. Truly!

 

[damageinc]

If Norv Turner cant see the difference between a GL back who is running for 2 yards a carry and Mathews who is 2-25 and looks like hes in another league then Mathews then he should find another job.

 

[Raider Nation]

 

[letter_j]

Did AJ Smith just say ``Gone``

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Good thing those receptions are being wasted on Battle.

 

[flc735]

question: who is the person deciding which rb goes in? is it the (who ever the play caller is) or someone else? if someone else, does the play caller guy know who is in before they make their call?

 

[RBM]

Mathews just ripping off chunks

Ha look at fn Battle

 

[RBM]

Battle short td coming up....

 

[SacramentoBob]

Look at him BATTLE for extra yards.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Now, Battle will get the cheap TD.

 

[Ace zero1]

Battle time. Td please

 

[Raider Nation]

Now, Battle will get the cheap TD.

It is what it is. We already knew that at the very least, Mathews lost the goal line job.He's gonna have to rack up his points between the 20s or score on a long TD.
