Idunno but I was debating sjax and mike bush until this mess and this make using bush a whole lot easierSJax has a bad hammy. Time to panic if you own him. Maybe that's why he spiked the football too. Frustrated because he got hurt?Unless there is something else going on in the locker room, in which case I could see a tradeI think this game did establish, to the extent it was not clear, that Richardson is the #2 guy, well ahead of Pead.
Why am I not fully buying it? He didn't look injured on the play, he looked the opposite. By all accounts it felt like a straight benching.
I don't think hes injured either. he had to piss off the stache to get benched... probably told the truth, which most folks hate to hear
Was at the game and DR looked slicker than Crisco out there. The little guy has a shiftiness about him that Isaiah Pead doesn't. I saw it during preseason games and I saw it today. DR has a future in this league and it wouldn't shock me at all if Fisher turns DR/SJax into an Ahmad Bradshaw/Brandon Jacobs kind of platoon.
If I have a roster spot to burn, I use it on DR, especially in keeper/dynasty leagues. Plus, with SJax's workload, he's due to break something, so DR may get more than a timeshare, or at the very least be on the heavy load side of a timeshare with Pead. It's clear Fisher likes the kid and seeing him in person, he's the goods.That said, I wouldn't be starting him next week or anything crazy like that. But DR could bear fruit as the season goes on and as SJax wears out.What I like to hear. I think we might have a real gem here.
He fumbled in clock killing mode which could have easily cost STL the game if Morgan wasn't ######ed. It was the epitome of a rookie mistake. SJax also looked just as great, but again, didn't almost cost STL the game.
Hmmmm. He sure looked spry with his helmet off on the sidelines...Some of you guys were really onto something, SJax looks washed up.
Is that the only part of the game you watched? You must have missed the 9 runs for 58 yard where he was breaking off large chunks of yardage with ease.Hmmmm. He sure looked spry with his helmet off on the sidelines...Some of you guys were really onto something, SJax looks washed up.
Like his pants are on fire, he really has a nice combo of speed and also not easy to take down if you tackle him above the waist. He was very impressive, caught the ball as well, busted off a 50 yarder. -Fumbled late and could have cost the Rams the game but he was partly responsible to how they even got to that point.'EBF said:
If Richardson didn't run so well, Fisher wouldn't have been able to send a message to the team that anyone who loses their head out there can be benched, anybody. I still don't think that SJax will be riding the pine next week for this kid, but he got an opportunity and made the most of it except for 1 play. He coughed it up, and that's huge and Fisher will probably make an example of him next week and give the ball all game to SJax, which he probably intends to do anyway as he already got his point across. Don't start the kid next week, but definitely hold on to him.'Otis said:
Really??
Me? I did have an adult beverage(s) with my sushi at lunch. I wouldn't call that drinking though.
When you say "Pead was a late 1st-early 2nd in most of my leagues," I'm assuming you mean the rookie drafts of dynasty leagues?As for trade value, Richardson right now would be below the value of Alfred Morris. Morris is a starter, Richardson is a fill-in while Steven Jackson has a soft tissue injury. There were some insane deals for Morris recently listed in another thread, so Richardson's value is probably equal to or less than "half of Fort Knox if you find the right owner".
Sushi? Ouch.I have a buddy at work who loves sushi, too. He also wears tight pants and a red & white plaid fedora.'Ministry of Pain said:

Did you watch his other 15 touches/carries?
Yeah he averaged 2.14 YPC on 14 of them.Defenses plan around stopping SJax and only Sjax when they are facing STL.You don't think they eased up a bit when they saw some rookie come onto the field? There was an obvious a surprise factor at work here. It wasn't the sole reason that he ran well but no one knew what this dude brought to the table. You also made it quite obvious that you believed Sjax got benched for spiking the ball in the other thread. If you believe Sjax got benched for that, what do you think would happen to Drich for almost costing STL the game? He's a rookie who mad a huge rookie mistake. Usuallys some sort of punishment ensues.Don't get me wrong I think DRich is a must own handcuff, but the only way he even becomes remotely fantasy relevant is if Sjax misses time.
Cancelled out by the 53 yard run he made to help them win the game.
Was this before or after Orakpo left the game? Same with Carriker. I'm not being snarky I'm actually curious. Their defense is night and day without the two of them.
Since when were Orakpo and Carriker known for their run stopping? They're horrible at it.
Orakpo might be a better pass rusher but you'd be silly to think that without him the whole dynamic of the defense doesn't change.
This is blatantly false.Orakpo is obviously noted for his pass rushing but he is not terrible against the run by any means and is certainly stronger against the run than his backups, Rob Jackson and Chris Wilson.Carriker was brought to WAS to be the run stopping LE in the 3-4. His strength is being stout at the point of attack.
You're not being snarky, but you seem awfully reluctant to give Richardson any credit for what he has accomplished. He had a good preseason and has only gotten better in the real games. The sample size is still small, but so far he has played well and looked like a legitimate NFL talent. Yes, he had a costly fumble, but he also made some big plays in this game. The fact that Fisher basically handed him the reins after Jackson's tantrum indicates that the coach already has a certain level of trust in the rookie. I think there's a lot of cause for optimism here, given how good Richardson has been and how old Jackson is. I don't know if Richardson has the frame to hold up to 20+ touches per game over a full season, but he looks like he could be a Jamaal Charles type.
Dwyer is averaging 3.4 YPC - and now has turf toe...oh and the real starter (Mendenhall) is close to coming back. Really?
And if Jackson's starting this week that value goes way down.
You seem like you apply different standards to Daryl Richardson (pimping him) and Alfred Morris (denigrating him).
