I take it Robinson isn't playing?

Finally mentioned him. Out with injury. Didn't say what it is. Still never seen him play.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Henry...1/58/1...too bad that guy can't stay out of trouble...what a waste of talent.

 

[Todem]

Basically if you own Norwood the best case scenario has occurred for him so far in the battle for regular season looks. Dunn has done less with more opportunity's so far. Also being that Pre-season week 3 is the last week the starters really go, its probably the most important night to give a last impression before roles are decided.

Harrington's managing the offense efficiently so far and the ATL D looks tougher than I expected.

Huh? Norwood didn't even sniff the field until after Dunn left due to injury. If anything, I would say it was rather obvious that Dunn is still their clear starter based on that.

So because they gave Dunn the start tonight means he looks/is better?The only thing Dunns done tonight is convert a 3-4 yard 3rd down. Everything else was little 2-3 clips.

Norwood comes in on his first look and makes a nice catch and run for a TD. Norwood looked more explosive and is a stronger back. Norwood looked good in pass protection.

Just because Dunn got the start tonight means hes a lock to be the RB1 ?! Dunn still needs to prove himself. Norwoods the one that was in training camp all off-season getting 1st team looks.

He does? I guess 10 years in the league and his very good career are for nothing.Norwood = 3rd down back.

A healthy Dunn = Starter and a guy getting a good amount of work. Norwood will be one of the biggest dissapointments in Fantasy football.

No doubt he is very explosive and a great player to watch. I think he is a great change of pace back and a great 3rd down/2 minute offense back. But he does not look like a true "carry the load" workhorse. Not even close. He is not a natural RB in that regard. He will have some big weeks but he is not a fantasy starter imo.

 

[PatytonsGhost]

How has Alge Crumpler looked route running ( knee ), catching, etc. Targets from Joey? Thanks

He had one or two grabs early but I haven't seen much of him lately. He looked like same old Alge....had a grab for 25 or so and KTFO'd the db who came in to hit him.edit: grab was for 13, not 25.

thanks Mad too

 

[Ministry of Pain]

And just to remind everyone there is a reason Norwood and Dunn usually look so good running for the Falcons in the years past...Vick was having another RB back there...he only rushed for 1,000 yds last season.

Do you think defenses were scheming on how to stop Norwood or Dunn? Probably more fixated with Michael Vick.

He looks like he weights 150 lbs. I just can't imagine him getting 300+ carries....

Read my quote. Neither are every down RBs in the NFL. That is how they are alike.

To me this is the key point. I think any RB on this team is going to have a down year. If they're stealing carries from each other, even more of a reason to be pessimistic about this season for them.

I see there is no point having this debate.

January 17, 2007 - RB Dunn Has Shoulder SurgeryJuly 25, 2007 - Falcons RB Dunn Out Six Weeks With Herniated Disc

32 years old, and had two procedures done in the off-season

BUT hes a for the the RB1 spot.

You seem more sure than Petrino is.

So you're banking on an injury to get Norwood the starting gig. Nice to see we are on the same page.

No im not banking on injurys, I'm saying Dunn has not been conditioning and running with the 1st team all off-season. Is it un-reasonable to leave the door open that maybe Dunn has lost a step?! Whenever players are knocked off their off-season regimens I always hear them towards the end of the season talking about how they never got in the groove. I think its just another disadvantage for Dunn. Hes been back for 2 weeks. Petrino said he did well enough to get the start tonight.

Norwoods primed and had the looks all off-season and is in shape, ready to go. Has Norwood not taken advantage of all the opportunity last season and this off-season?

It just doesn't seem as cut and dry to me.

Is Dunn week 1 at 75% > than Norwood at %100 . Even with 15 carries a game Norwood could be very nice.

Petrino's spread formation has me intrigued. I see Dunn and Jerious running through wide open spaces. He's going five wide on first down. It's a bit of run and shoot, and those backs always piled up stats. Then he shifts seamlessly to this jumbo power running formation. Vick's gone. But Vick was never there with Petrino. I'm optimistic from what I've seen. Shame Joey can't secure that backup role he keeps seeking though.

I'm showing he missed 1 games in his career at Miss. St. and finished his career the all time leading rusher there.

This is the NFL last time I looked. Are you watching him run? He will not be a succesful between the tackles guy. And to be a workhorse in the NFL where you can't outrun everyone to the edges you will not be an every down back.Peroid.

Me too... I couldn't stand it, and changed the channel. Venting at a corporation that couod care less did at least allow me to vent! He makes Heraldo Rivera look like a Pulitzer prize winner. Jaws is so freakin good too.... and Kornahser ruins the entire broadcast to a point that is unlistenable, which is pretty much what I told ESPN.

 

[az_prof]

This is my pre-emptive Laurent Robinson hype post.

Is he playing tonight? I know he had a hamstring issue.

Looks like Jenkins, White, and some guy named Jennings rained on the Laurent Robinson parade. I am wondering if this passing offense may not be significantly better without Vick, and if maybe all the criticism thrown at the receiving corp wasn't misplaced. Horn also figured into the action but he only caught one. Looks like the passing game will be more balanced, with the WRs more involved and it not just being the Crumpler show.

White had a couple of pretty bad drops including a beautifully placed TD over the DB's shoulder right into and through White's arms.

Has he shown you he cant run between the tackles? I haven't seen that. Yeah this is the NFL.. but I'd rather go off something real like his history than an assumption.And yes, he can STILL outrun most on the edges.All im hearing from the haters is assumptions and no facts. Someone tell me he looked bad last year. Someone tell me his stats sucked. Someone tell me he hasn't made the most of his opportunity's. Someone tell me hes injury prone.All I see is upside from J-Rock and everyone wants to hand Dunn the gig despite all his recent woes.

 

[menobrown]

yeah, he is kinda like Leon Washington in that regards. Not really an every down type RB

The guy Norwood reminds me of is Willie Parker and I remember people saying he could not carry the load either. That being said I see pure RBBC this year with Snelling getting the goal line work. Norwood is probably the only RB on the team with value but so long as Dunn is around his value will be mitigated.

 

[RBM]

How bout this Harrington kid!

Maybe he is finally "getting it"

 

[gurp13]

Wait, here's one thing... Kenny Irons made a run through a HUGE hole up the middle. What was that about? Wasn't Kenny injured or something?

Kenny Watson.

Ouch. My bad. Thanks.

I like the guys with no TVs criticizing us for being pissed that they had a five minute interview in the middle of the 2nd Q.For you guys...Joey looks sharp and Michael Jennings does too.

Adam Jennings . . .Michael (NYG) Jennings is injured . . .

Dammit! Again!Okay, well, I'm not that familiar with the Falcons ("no, really, tell us more") so I apologize for getting the names wrong. Overally, my impression was that Harrington made some good throws and read the defense well. He looked confident and the WRs looked capable, especially in the first two quarters. I think the receiver that I noticed was Jennings who caught the TD in the first quarter. He and Jenkins got a lot of targets, was my impression.ETA: merged doublepost

 

[spurs44]

Basically if you own Norwood the best case scenario has occurred for him so far in the battle for regular season looks. Dunn has done less with more opportunity's so far. Also being that Pre-season week 3 is the last week the starters really go, its probably the most important night to give a last impression before roles are decided.

Harrington's managing the offense efficiently so far and the ATL D looks tougher than I expected.

Huh? Norwood didn't even sniff the field until after Dunn left due to injury. If anything, I would say it was rather obvious that Dunn is still their clear starter based on that.

So because they gave Dunn the start tonight means he looks/is better?The only thing Dunns done tonight is convert a 3-4 yard 3rd down. Everything else was little 2-3 clips.

Norwood comes in on his first look and makes a nice catch and run for a TD. Norwood looked more explosive and is a stronger back. Norwood looked good in pass protection.

Just because Dunn got the start tonight means hes a lock to be the RB1 ?! Dunn still needs to prove himself. Norwoods the one that was in training camp all off-season getting 1st team looks.

I see there is no point having this debate.

Exactly. You have to be a Dunn owner. Norwood is a play maker. All the kid does is make plays. I respect Dunn alot but it's painfully obvious that Norwood is quicker and there is no way this kid stays off the field for long. Good luck with Dunn.

 

[bcr8f]

seems like he is looking to crumpler....def. a good sign.

I agree. Why would Joey not look to a huge target with good hands.He will throw to him and Joe Horn more because thy will actually catch his passes. Roddy White dropped an easy TD.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

And who started the Norwood cant carry the load MYTH? I'm showing he missed 1 games in his career at Miss. St. and finished his career the all time leading rusher there.

Norwood was banged up a lot last year, and he missed 2 games. And that was with only 100 carries. I just can't see him ever carrying a full load.

You know, the only advantage a world wide web based forum has over, say, a USENET feed, is that you can have some pretty nice moderation. The selling point is that you can have fast communication but ALSO cut the worthless chatter that can render such a board useless. A site owner misuses a web forum when he fails to provide a clean and focused environment and only uses his moderation powers to protect himself and his own interests. When a web forum owner does that, you wind up with a site that is worse than USENET.

I think in order to qualify to be a web forum moderator, you should be forced to go and read every post in rec.sport.pro-wrestling from 1995-2001. By the time you finish that, you should have pretty much heard every quick witticism and acerbic comment imaginable 1000x over until you are absolutely sick of them. Only then are you ready to moderate.

you can teach s RBto run in between the tackles. It's not a cut and dry situation. Just becuase Norwood is supposedly smaller it doesnt mean he cant learn to anticipate a rush D and wait for holes. He's smart, quick and decisive enough to learn these kep aspects of becoming an every down back. He's in his second year for drying out loud. The guy is sure to bulk up as it is.

The selling point is that you can have fast communication but ALSO cut the worthless chatter that can render such a board useless. A site owner misuses a web forum when he fails to provide a clean and focused environment and only uses his moderation powers to protect himself and his own interests. When a web forum owner does that, you wind up with a site that is worse than USENET.

Please outline more differences for us.

I think in order to qualify to be a web forum moderator, you should be forced to go and read every post in rec.sport.pro-wrestling from 1995-2001. By the time you finish that, you should have pretty much heard every quick witticism and acerbic comment imaginable 1000x over until you are absolutely sick of them. Only then are you ready to moderate.

Please stop fishing in this forum. Thanks.
