That's hilarious! That's like saying, I don't mean to offend you, but . . . . Whatever statement comes next is likley to offend the person. Look man, so many other people ask WDIS on the Shark Pool. You don't have to "disclaim" asking WDIS and then ask WDIS.
Thanks, DY. Any thoughts on what the London game revealed? Did BJGE look as bad as people around here said? Still going to be committee for these next couple weeks?
7 carries 6 yds.
So will they feature Maroney for the time being?
I cant answer that. All Im saying is when you asked did he look as bad as people said you really cant interpret those #s any other way
This is true. I don't need Maroney nor do I plan on using him, but just wondering how it would shake out or if it's still rbbc despite the plodding.
I doubt BJGE will get a real shot at being a bell cow. He is what he is . . . a hard worker that the coaches love, but I don't think they view him as a difference maker. I agree that he's generally done well when called upon, but it looks like the team always goes back to others over BJGE after things settle down and the injuries clear up.They could have given him a larger role before now and haven't, and as you mentioned they seem to always be looking to add RB depth. I suspect next year will be no different. The names may change up in the next year or so, but my guess is they will continue to plug and play cheap RB components rather than shell out big money for a free agent or a first round draft pick.
I doubt Taylor will do much the rest of the fantasy year. I had heard he would be out 10-12 weeks, which would mean he would be slated for return somewhere in weeks 14-16. I doubt NE will push him hard once he gets back and would look for him to be able to contribute in the post season.NE should do what they usually do which is chop up the workload among the guys that are healthy. I don't see anyone getting a huge workload unless a player gets crazy production and they pretty much have to keep feeding him the ball. Once Morris comes back, either Maroney or Morris might be ok as flex players or as RB2s if you have RB depth issues, but I would not rely on them to be more than a roll of the dice. The Pats do face three Bottom 10 rushing down the stretch, but that didn't help them much against the Bucs.
There was a blurb on PFT that Morris would miss the next two weeks and then would likely be back. I will hunt for the link...ETA: here is one from rotoworld sourcing the Boston GLobe:
The Boston Globe reports New England Patriots C Dan Koppen (knee) and RB Sammy Morris (knee) were seen walking around the locker room Monday, Nov. 9. Neither seemed to have noticeable limp when walking.Analysis: It's far too early to tell whether or not Morris will have any shot at playing against Indianapolis this week. If he does, he'll take carries from the suddenly Fantasy relevant Laurence Maroney.It will be a long time holding a roster spot for Sammy. But if Maroney's situation changes, and Sammy regains his starting gig, I think Sammy might be a lottery ticket, with a creampuff playoff schedule.I am also awaiting any new news.
I am not David but I can tell you that as a person that watches them every week and also someone that has Maroney on my fantasy roster that he will not be the primary back and no back will ever be 100% featured. When Morris comes back he will have his role back and Faulk will always be in there on 3rd downs and on passing situations. The reason he is getting the majority of the carries right now is there is nobody else to carry the ball. It was the same way last season when BJGE came in to play and was solid for 4 games. When Morris came back BJGE was a name that was not mentioned again.sdsjr3 said:
I think Sammy, over the past few years, has been the closest thing to a feature back they have. That being said, you think that Sammy will go right back into that role? Or will Maroney have a larger role than he did prior to SM's injury?
NE plays Sunday night
I'd Trust Maroney for one more week.looks like I need a new schedule.Same issue applies though.
Monique Walker, of the Boston Globe, reports New England Patriots RB Sammy Morris (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. Well, at least he's practicing. He was never going to come back prior to week 12 anyway. I picked him off WW speculating that Maroney runs out of steam or gets nicked up. The Pats fantasy playoff schedule looks soft. If they get ahead early, they will milk the clock and a guy like Morris could get some cheap stats. FWIW, I think he's the most talented back of the bunch.
I don't really have much to add other than Morris will probably be eased into the flow of things this week and should see more work next week and beyond.I don't think Maroney gets in the doghouse for coughing up the ball against the Colts. It was his first fumble in over 500 touches.I would guess Maroney and Morris share the load this week and Morris will probably get the minority share. After that, it will depend how many ill effects there are from Morris' knee injury.If I hear anything more about Morris' injury and his prognosis for the Jets I will post, but I doubt we will hear much about it . . .Mr. David Yudkin to the Red, White, and Blue courtesy phone...
Pats milking the clock = throw deep to Moss.
Any updates on this.. Will Morris play this week?
any updates from homers or has the Pats bandwagon begun emptying?
flip a coin....Maroney 13 carries, Morris 10, Faulk 4.
Those fools should've known, as you did, that both Taylor and Morris would get hurt and miss significant time this year thus allowing the pedestrian Maroney to back his way into semi-significant carries.
