Looking ahead to week 11:
Borbely: The hardest part is over... or is it? Borb is still ailing. He's down an end for the rest of the contest, and the healthy guys at that position aren't doing much either. I don't know how long his LBs can carry him, but he has all 7 for the first time next week, and that's scary. Sanders and Williams have panned out at safety, but other than Will Allen's pick six, his CBs haven't done much.
Tec79: Tec is down a top LB and CB already. If Lofa can stay healthy, and Nick Collins keeps up his big play ways, Tec can keep going, but the odds are against any team that loses two good players this early.
Rozelle: His strong balanced LB group should do a lot of the heavy lifting, while Hope and Jennings carry the secondary. This team is set up to go deep into the contest.
Jene: Bramel is getting balanced production now that all of his niners are playing. I'm not that inspired by this LB group as long as Mike Peterson gets back in the middle for Jacksonville, but the Corners look great. The thin safeties could come back to haunt him if Bell or Lewis go down. Still a strong contender.
Fro: Fro's weak DE corps is a real landmine for these next 3 weeks. Except for a good week 9 from Kalimba Edwards, this group has failed to top double digits. He'll need strong play from Vilma, Harrison, Crowder, and James to carry him through any rough spots. Pollard may have been a real steal at safety, and Fro's DT are also strong. Still, I get a nagging feeling the DE issue will strike during this gauntlet.
Chainz: Haynesworth is not paying dividends yet, and Chainz is without Barnett and Kerney. This team is pretty balanced, but it will need guys like Horton and Mathis to make big plays each week, because the LBs lack explosive scorers.
Sky Rattlers: Close call this round, and SR is still down his first round pick. Woodley has to get healthy, and the secondary needs come up big each week to cover for a poor DE group, or this team is going home soon.
Chaos Commish: A few hitches... only Tuck has really shown up among the DEs, and this Mike Peterson situation is troubling. Still Briggs and Ryans have turned out to be great picks, and Adrian Wilson looks like he's going to be a stud down the stretch. I still like this team to make the final four, if not bring home the crown.
Bloom: Well I have to say things have gone pretty much as planned except for so many of my guys showing up on the injury report. I really need Gibril to stay healthy, and I can only afford to lose one of Johnson and Bulluck in any given week during this stretch. My DEs have worked out as planned, including later round picks like Freeney and Edwards, and the corners are also performing well. As long as Wilson can stay healthy and I get league average LB scoring, I should make it to the final four.
Crippler: Allen and Peppers will lead the way, even with Allen's severe shoulder sprain! Crippler is down an LB (Thomas) and has a risky CB corps of ballhawks that don't get a ton of tackles at CB, but those DEs can make that moot if they stay hot.
Good luck everyone!
