Sure, an RB with his talent is capable at that age of putting up gaudy numbers, but now that he's gone over the RB hill after so many carries, he has to rely more on instinct and bursts of quickness than sheer speed.
If he were to have a "old LT" it sure would help tonight. I'm curious to who you favor in tonight's game since their both in your division.
Not a care personally. If forced at gunpoint to choose, I'd probably go with San Diego for a couple reasons. 1.) I need Rivers to have a good game for fantasy purposes, so I don't care if the Chargers win or lose, just hope there are a lot of points scored. 2.) Even if the Chargers benefit, I guess it wouldn't hurt to see the Broncos finally lose a game and come back down to earth. McDaniels running around the field like he had just won the Super Bowl last week was amusing. Victory lap and fist pumping. Jesus. What a tool.
Completely agree, I can understand some enthusiasm with all the **** thrown at him in the off season but that just made him look ridiculous. What will make it worse, if we lose, is losing against those butt ugly mustard stain uni's. God I hate the Broncos with a passion.
In fact, none of the sophomore running backs are having the excellent seasons they had as rookies: Forte, Slaton, Chris Johnson. It could be that the defenses have adjusted to them, and them hitting the "sophomore wall". I think they'll be fine once they adjust themselves to the NFL defenses once again.
your right.....i dont know what has gotten to him . No burst at all. He has been the biggest fantasy dissappointment , even more than Steve smith.
Chris Johnson is averaging 6.3 yards per carry, and is 2nd in the NFL in rushing. Forte only averaged 3.9ypc last year. It was his receiving numbers that really helped him last year.
Not sure if it has been disussed nor do I care anything about the Redskins but I do not understand what is going on there. Why don't they just fire Jim Zorn right now, they stripped him of his offensive play calling duties, the team has lost to teams like the Chiefs, and the Lions. The team I believe has a huge payroll but is horrible. I don't understand whats the point of keeping Jim Zorn around another week, besides bringing more shame in the organization. They brought in a consultant that hasn't coached in four years for the Detroit Lions. It is just like when the Texans brought in Dan Reeves when we later fired Capers.
I don't think Zorn is the problem there. The Skins have wasted a ton of money on players not worth their contracts.
I don't think the problem is coaching, I believe it is ownership. Washington has no stability. In Snyder's 12 years there he has had 6 different head coaches so coaching and play-calling philosophies are constantly changing. He goes and signs all the flashy, big dollar free agents with little resulting success as these guys come in expecting to be the starter yet there is little if any chemistry between the players. He doesn't build well through the draft. So on and so forth. I think Snyder is the major problem.
I am not sure he is the problem or not, I just think it is embarrassing how the organization is deciding how to handle this situation. Keep the guy or get rid of him he was brought in for offensive purposes and they are taking that away from him. I am sure he will get fired after Tuesday after they lose to the Eagles, when they have a bye the following week. Instead they are basically ruining any slight chance Zorn has in getting another head coaching job in the league.
I lol'ed going back and reading the ppl who were worried about starting Brady in their fantasy leagues this week.
