You're on to something there.Seems like there is a second round of folks that are just tuning in this morning, maybe we'll get some more differing opinions on certain players.
Like I said you haven't said much that's controversial in your predictions, so I wouldn't expect much heated exchange. It'd be fun to see you put the
next to one guy and the :X next to one guy to denote your stud and your dud of the week. Just think "what would hucks do?"With Buckhalter gone, makes sense that McCoy takes over his role. Also, I can see them giving McCoy more carries to keep Westy fresh as the season progresses. But I agree its a wait and see type deal at the moment.Is Ward and Caddy going to be a 50/50 split..? They gave Ward a ton of money, I can't see them just letting him sit and watch.
I see that you are still misquoting me, which is amazing since all you had to do was hit the quote button.Please remove your signature unless you are going to edit it back to read what I wrote.I thought that was a strange comment too. If I could play any RB against the Bears, #1 is AD, and then comes Grant.With Stewart ailing though, I think you gotta go DWill here.Can you add a bit more to this? Granted he had a bulk of his yards against CHI in one game (145) but he went for 206 yards and a TD against them last year. He also went for 100 and a TD in the second game of 2007 (in the first game he wasn't the starter). I think he looks like a better than average start, so I was curious if there was something you think that dissuades me from this stance?EDIT: Maybe you just meant out of the options he has, in which case I would agree lol.Don't start Grant against Chi.Ok, so I took your advice and drafted ADP and DWill (ok so it was not in the same year) - and I have Grant as my RB3 - does anyone start Grant over DWill?If you want green lighted RBs every week, I hope you drafted ADP and DWill
The Lions don't have a very good defense. They are going to want to keep that defense off the field as much as possible. The best strategy they can do is to run early and often. So, Smith should be very involved in terms of carries early in the game. If they are successful and able to score, this will limit the impact of their porous defense.Now, it's likely the Saints high-powered O will still light these guys up and Stafford will turn it over. In that case, Smith has been pretty involved in the passing game. I wouldn't expect a ton of carries if the Lions get down, but they aren't going to pass on every single play. The Lions will still run the ball on occasion even if down big. Combine a few carries with a few receptions and he could still see close to double digit touches in the second half even if they get down.I very much like Smith in this game and would start him over both Bush and Johnson this week. I'd consider Johnson, but I'd give the edge to Smith in terms of opportunities and matchup.
Where?
Should be fine against the Rams at home. Pretty stingy front 7 to contain Jackson, the problem is their secondary. Wouldn't be surprised to see a long TD from Avery...
Seattle will win with ease, however I expect Jackson to rack up the yardage. Bulger has been out all preseason so I expect them to run a lot. Seattle's CB's are on the small side and I don't think they are big fans of tackling.
Preseason is important for many reasons but you have to be careful of concluding that because a player or offense doesn't look good that it will look bad when the games count. Teams hold back on their game plans. How much did we see the Wildcat this preseason? That will make a huge difference in how Miami performs.
GPN!!!Where you been brother? I actually did a search the other day as I hadn't seen you post in awhile but saw you were still trolling around this place.
Turner all the way. Your hints at the OLine are definitely in play. I hope jake Long was not a flash in the pan. I don't think he is but there were a lot of talented LT in the draft last year. But he's a major reason they went 11-5. You can't sit Turner for Brown, no way.
I'll be starting Parker over guys like Addai, F. Taylor and McGahee. As I said in one of the other Tenn vs. Pitt threads, I don't think the Tenn D will be the same w/o Haynesworth and Pitt will be able to expose them on the ground.
I don't love the Steelers OL but Buffalo is a disaster right now. The Steelers are arguably the best run franchise in the NFL...Fred Jackson is not a sure thing. Mostly dynasty owners or people who drafted Lynch are the ones that need Freddy to come thru this weekend. Against NE? I would go with Parker but its your team.
He took a 22 yarder down to the 1 and got vultured, which would make his line look a ton better. I'm still onboard the Rice train
he also had another chance to score inside the 10 (i think ball was at the 5), but apparently he's had some issues with his shoe in the early parts of the game. He slipped and couldn't stay on his feet while he was accelerating through the hole. He might've had a chance to score there also besides the 22 yarder.
Not sure how I wouldn't be happy with 120 yards rushing. In today's NFL that's not that easy to do and he'll get enough TDs to be a 2nd tier RB.
Awesomne...I think a lot of us are kinda lickin wounds today. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE folks, don't be shy...now is the time to light me up like a Christmas tree, just do it nicely, haha. I would really like to hear from the board. Personally, I think everything is going to be overblown this week and I would hang tight for another week or two but I know there are a lot of non ADP owners that are sick tot heir tummys this afternoon. Vent if you need, that's fine by me, just don't make the mods life a headache, thanks.
Brother is moving to Germany, has nothing to do with this thread but I know you either live in Europe or have lived in Europe...waddup DD?
If he likes rain and pork he'll do fine.
About what I expected to see. Couple Seminole formations (aka Wildcat), Leon was very involved, but TJ looked good.Even in the first half when he had no stats to speak of, he was consistently making the first defender at the line miss. Eventually he busted a couple long ones.Jones is a nice RB2 this year IMO. Washington, depends if its PPR or return yardage leagues. Also, worth noting Leon blew the pickup on the sack where Ryans got a free run up the middle.
Both are going to be value picks this year. Washington is thankfully being featured more between the 20s, and Jones will get the short yardage and td plunges.
117 yds and a TD for Julius Jones...not too bad (and 19yds receiving)
Sell high Chihawk...sell HIGH
