Ya....that was a short ride

 

[Mr. Retukes]

Can't believe I picked him over Denard Robinson.

Rams will figure out a committee isn't the way to go when you can ride a stud like Tre. We need to have some patience here.

If Tre was the "stud" then he would be outperforming his peers today. He hasn't shown anything today to help them figure out that committee isn't the way to go. The numbers show he's performing exactly as well as Stacy and worse than Cunningham. He needs to seperate himself on the few touches he gets if our patience is going to pay off.

 

[SproutDaddy]

Lol. This place cracks me up.

 

[Tango]

Stacy acting like the next Roger Craig with pass catching here in garbage time. Ya would have figured that they'd give the rookie the garbage snaps.........

 

[Slapdash]

Can't believe I benched Lafell for him today, oof

 

[Mr. Retukes]

I hate this forum sometimes.

Mason finishes the game with a garbage 12 yd run.

The over/under on the number of posts of joy from the Mason fanboy(s) regarding that meaningless run is 5.

Place your bets.

He looked great on that run!

 

[RBM]

I guess the Rams staff thought going in a different direction from last weeks epic win was the correct move, lol.

 

[Soulfly3]

So, in his worst outing, he still averages a better ypc than stacy or cunningham has on the season.

Fisher really botched this going for the 3 headed approach. As has Pettine

 

[rockaction]

I still believe. Tre train taking off!

Why wouldnt you? His 4.6ypc is his WORST of the season

Worst.

Mason was 6 for 20 outside of the aforementioned one-play possession that was the last play of the game. That's well under 4 YPC.

It's close, but this qualifies as a fanboy-mention of the 12 yard run.

So we've got 2 so far. Looking to get up over 5.

 

[Tango]

Belief *is* warranted. Though 20 carries seems miles away; I mean Austin led the team in carries for a chunk of the first half.

Right now the lack of predictability kills all of their short-term value; including Mason's. Mason actually cost a lot of people their game today. His best days are ahead of him, but we're stuck in wait and see for now.

At this point anyone except those in the deepest leagues will likely have to miss out on Mason's next big game and look to start him after. Most cant afford to roll the dice with Cunningham starting, Austin getting steady carries, and Stacy getting serious snaps too.

Wait...so when we reference his stats from this game, going forward, we need to say 6-20?

Ya we cant count that run cuz it doesn't help make an argument against him

4.6ypc in his worst outing and still led in carries

 

[Tango]

4.6ypc in his worst outing and still led in carries

So are you starting him next week? How many teams in the league? If yes, who are you starting him over?

I own him in dynasty, so no, won't be starting him until I kno Fisher gets his head out of his booty.

And he will. Of that, I am sure. Point is, by far their best runner

 

[Tango]

Ok, we're on the same page....good to hear.

 

[mr roboto]

He's an exciting player, long-term hold. Heisman candidate, showed really well when he's gotten playing time. He's not a top-20 option this year yet.

In redraft, lottery ticket for later in the year. Dynasty, solid prospect who you don't just flip after a few good games.

 

[mythrilfox]

who cares about his 12 yard run? the point is that if you are splitting hairs over whether or not to count a single 12 yard run when assessing a player your overall sample size is almost meaningless so the conversation is pointless from the start.

soulfly, seriously you are delusional dude. get your #### together. how do you know mason is the best runner on the team? are you a talent scout? oh, is it because of his scintillating game vs. the seahawks, which is only an absurdly small handful of carries? if we want to try extrapolating from that 1 game, which is per se foolish, well then PFF graded him at -1.0 rushing for that game, hardly a great score. do you think you know better than people who actually do this for a living? how do you KNOW fisher will "get his head out of his booty"? are you his therapist and he whispered it to you in a hypnotic daze? how can you think YPC #s over 25 carries is worth anything more than peanuts? runners far more phenomenal than mason have been stuck in crap situations for years on end. to say with such certainty that mason's time will come when he is a marginally above average talent with a history of being mired in a committee is outright delusional. oh my god it hurts my brain how completely clueless you are. taking anything but an agnostic stance at this point is pure stupidity

 

[JoeyJoJoJuniorShabadoo]

I was hoping for a better Mason showing so I could cut Stacy loose.

 

[I Am the Stig]

Arrow thru the heart of Stacy owners.

Yowzaaaaaaaa

Smart Stacy owners are Mason owners. Many have Benny too. We dont care who gets the rock, provided we know who it's going to be...and we dont right now.

Today I went with Benny over Mason. Looks good right now, but its veeeerrrryyyy early.

Owning three parts of a time share is not "smart". At best, it is making the best of a bad situation. I get the thinking is that their O Line is great but 8 weeks in and they haven't figured it out yet.

I'll hold on Mason but I want no other shares of this hot mess on my bench.

 

[Soulfly3]

actually, yes.

Everyone on the internet is a scout.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

First game went like skeptics predicted.

Question: does this get better in terms of production? If so, when?

Generally agree here, though it depends on how big your league is and roster limits are. In my main league, gobbling up 100% of even a bad teams' running production is important...so you're right that it may not be "smart", but it certainly is necessary in that case.

Why do I have a feeling that we are going to see a good dose of Watts in this next game? I hope that suspicion is incorrect...

Oh I remember getting sucked into a Shanahan backfield one season. I feel for it and have been there.

You grab a guy cause he looks good and the zone blocking scheme is tantalizing. Then the little hammy report comes out, so you grab the handcuff.

Then comes the game and some dude from Home Depot makes his debut and rolls for 145 and two TDs leaving you with a Goose Egg on the score sheet. So now you grab him. And before you know it your following all the players on Twitter to get a clue as to who is starting next.

Meanwhile, the players you cut to get these three RBs looks like a FF Hall of Fame.

For your own good, get out and get out now.

it's a night game?

 

[SameSongNDance]

Name - Snaps - Carries - Targets

Mason - 18 - 7 carries - 1 target

Cunningham - 18 - 4 carries - 1 target

Stacy - 16 - 5 carries - 4 targets

Stacy is PPR gold!

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Well that's as bad as it gets.

So much for the guy that handed whole games to Eddie George and Steve Jackson.

 

[IgglesFan]

I guess the Rams staff thought going in a different direction from last weeks epic win was the correct move, lol.

Wait....isn't this the same staff that was hailed as brilliant for calling a fake punt on 4th and 3 from their own 19-yard line just last week?

I'm so confused

 

[ForWhoForWhat]

Week 9 is BRUTAL for byes. Don't want to drop Mason but after last week how could one ever start him anytime soon? He may have to blow up on someone else's team. Talking strictly redraft, of course.

Me too. I am holding on to all 3 and I'm getting the feeling that none of them are going to be worth crap.

If you make it through bye weeks without starting them, then barring injury, you never will.

I'm in this position and that's why I'm keeping him. I don't need them in my line up right now, but he's one of the few players that can force their way into my starting line up down the line and be a season changer.

Not true at all. Just takes Fisher committing to one RB instead of a RBBC.

On that note here are his comments from yesterday on the subject and they offer a glimmer of hope:

(On if he’s still happy about the running back by committee approach)

“When they got their opportunities they all were productive. The average per carry is about the same. We’ll see. We may settle into something this week.”

What a rude, uninformative and pointless disaster of a post.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Abe Lincoln and JFK had a small sample size.

This seems like an avoid. McKinnon emerged in his situation, Denard in Jax, Forsett (mostly) in BAL. Hillman and Miller, due mostly to injury. Crowell did not - explosive, but fumbles + losing Mack have rendered him useless ATM.

Mason seems like the guy who should emerge. I think the HC wants this to settle, but it's still pretty murky.
