Mewelde Moore struggled? (1 Viewer)

[BalcoBomber]

Per Rotoworld:

According to coach Mike Tomlin, Willie Parker (shoulder) is scheduled to practice Wednesday.

Parker has denied reports that he has a torn labrum and sounds likely to return Sunday after sitting out Week 10 while Mewelde Moore struggled. He'll wear a shoulder harness if he does play.

I dunno, 57ruyd, 2 TD's, 6 catches for 48 yards amounted to a 27 point day for me!! I say: Let Willie sit a little longer!!

 

[Ghost Rider]

Averaging 2.4 yards per carry against a defense known for being easy to run on is struggling. His two TDs were merely a product of how the game went (lucking out because Pittsburgh pass plays resulted in goal-to-go situations inside the 5).

The 2 TDs is clouding your judgement. I view the statement as being made from a rushing perspective as Moore was just 24 carries for 57 yds (2.375 yds per carry), which is hardly productive enough for your team to win consistently.

But 27 points from my flex is good enough to win consistently.

The Steelers don't care about your fantasy team. They care about winning football games, and you aren't going to win many games when you get 2.4 YPC from your featured back.

Exactly.The point of this thread was that you (directed at BalcoBomber) were surprised someone could say that Moore struggled against the Colts. His rushing stats were not good regardless of his Fantasy Points Scored. He did struggle last week.Nobody is saying to not start him again, but clearly he did struggle gaining only 57 yds on 24 carries.

In fairness to MeMo, I thought the Colts D looked as good as it has all season if not better.

 

[Copeman]

Rotoworld caters to those that play fantasy sports, so Moore had a very good fantasy day, however in terms of actual football....yes, he struggled.

Bob Sanders was back, Defensive Player of the yr last season.... hes the answer to Indy's D troubles.

Exactly, I think this just might have been a game where Parker also would have stumbled.

Moore has outproduced Parker in every way this season, although he did struggle a bit last game. The Pitt O-line is brutal though. Parker will not healthy all year. The guy should just go get healthy.

Edit to add: it looks like Parker is scheduled to practice and play. Now I can't play any Pit RB because they will split. Wonderful.

and the game before, and the second half of the game before that.There will be no splitting. FWP is a top 5 stud!

Look at the WAS game for how its gonna be.

Yes I have FWP on my team and Im tired of MeMo owners thinking you did something miraculous by picking up a 3rd string RB off the waiver wire because your team stinks and you had #1 priority. Your run is over. His run is over. Step out the way and let champions win championships!

Moore is helping me get into the playoffs when I otherwise probably wouldn't. I'm sure he's helped salvage the seasons of others as well. Yeah, Parker's the better runner but through 10 weeks Moore has provided more value to owners than Parker has, by far. He's stepped up and put up big points for owners with injury and bye problems. It remains to be seen if Parker will be able to do the same for his owners down the stretch. Time will tell. And I traded for him, but, yeah I do think I did something miraculous by making the trade. It's kept my season alive.

Then they need to address the offensive line play - Memo had nowhere to go but into a pack of Colts, down, or out of boundsFREE MeMo!!

 

[purestrength]

I wish more of my fantasy players would "struggle" the way Moore did Sunday. Then I might be in the hunt for more championships this year.

No, really?FWP has 4 starts and in those:

75 carries

333 yards

4.44 ypc

4 TD's

Mewelde has 4 starts:

80 carries

360 yards

4.50 ypc

5 TD's

Moore has 22 Rec for 177 yards and a TD receiving and Parker doesn't even have a catch on the year.

These guys look real similar to me so I don't see how Parker owners seem to think Parker is sooooo much better. The proof is in the stats.

Its called selective analysis. THese people don't want to look at the numbers. They will analyze the situation using, but not limited to, the following logic...
If MeMo is so great, why was he #3 on the depth chart?
If MeMo is so great, why didn't he get a starting role in Minn?
FWP is a stud. No other logic needed to know he is FAR superior than MeMo!
Memo has always been a 3rd down back, and he fills in nice when the starter goes down, but its back to 3rd down back for him
His ypc against a terrible Indy team was less than 3! Doesn't matter he had 100+ total yards, doesn't matter his season YPC is 4.5, his YPC for that game means he sucks!
ETCETCETCRinse and repeat...

FYP, I own MeMo in only 1 league, and in that league I own FWP. So I'm not biased in my opinion that MeMo is a FAR better fit for that offense. Arguably, he is the better all around RB as well...

 

[JuniorNB]

How much did Moore play two weeks ago when Parker came back?

The only way Moore and Parker share carries is if Parker isn't 100%. When Parker is back to full strength, Moore sees a few third down plays and that's it. You only have to go back two weeks to see evidence. I don't think the 2.4 ypc game against Indy has changed that.

Bob Sanders was playing..that defense is completely different when he plays.

While this is certainly true, I don't think opposing running backs average 2.375 yards per carry, on average, when Sanders plays. Let's not overstate things. Any way you slice it, Moore did struggle and that's why Pittsburgh lost. Too many second or third and longs.

You have to be kidding right...? That's why Pittsburgh lost, because of Mewelde Moore. Their loss has a lot more to do with Big Ben throwing three picks than it does anything the Moore did.

I realize that Big Ben threw three picks, but you'd be shocked how much a good running game does to open up the passing game. Like I said, 24 carries for 57 yards means a ton of third and longs. Not condusive to a great passing attack.

I love this post!Just because FWP and Mendenhall went down to injury, your crappy team had ww priority and you got him. Good for you.

Hope he keeps struggling......IMO it is like an NFL team winning, as long as they get the job done! And he is getting it done

You are a champion b/c you picked up FWP in the 3rd round instead of TJones?I think picking up fill-ins like MMoore can help a team win. Can't say I was disappointed in any of his starts for my team. Maybe you should handcuff next year?

Ryan Grant averages that every week but people are fine with it as long as he gets his 90 yds on 35 carries

Yep, me too on the record and points. He's filled in nicely for Reggie Bush and Steven Jackson while they are out....and I don't think the FWP owner liked it very much last week when he had to pull Parker out of his lineup and I was able to insert Moore for 16 points, and beat him by 18.
