NFL Thread 12-13

You guys give too much credit to Bradshaw. The dude sucks balls. I have seen every Giants game since they invented the Sunday NFL ticket. So I know this team well. And I'm telling you Bradshaw sucks. The giant's were dead last in running the football last year. It was a miracle they won the superbowl. Jacobs was even worse than Bradshaw.

I think Coughlin will continue to give Brown a large chunk of the carries even when Bradshaw comes back. Coughlin isn't like Jerry Sloan and Ty Corbin, He''ll go with the hot hand. Just like he did with Victor Cruz last year.

I'll say it again. Brown is going to surprise a lot of people this year and tear up the league. Giants haven't had a back this good since Tiki Barber. Brown wouldn't have to surprise the league like this if he wouldn't have torn his achilles right after the Giant's drafted him in 09. He is just now getting his explosiveness back. Brown is fast and a big guy who reads the holes really well.
 
I guess we'll see.

I did try and pick him up in both my leagues last week, but he was grabbed by people higher on the waiver wire.

I just don't think he is going to be the unquestioned #1 guy for NY, but yeah if he's available in your league, go get him obviously. Can't imagine he's available in many leagues.
 
Good news:

I played Brown as my RB.

Bad news: I played Steve Smith and Lafell together this week thinking that they'd have a ball game against the NY Giant corners....

I think you folks are overrating Bradshaw waaayyyyy too much. He's fumble and injury prone.

He was fumble prone earlier in his career - not as much now.

Injuries have been a problem; but he plays through them a lot too - as I said last year he played several games with a broken foot. YB85 still has a hard on for some guy who played one game with a broken bone in his leg (non-weight bearing I might add) 30+ years ago. Doesn't Bradshaw get a little credit for playing RB a good portion of the year (and the playoffs) with a broken foot?

He's also the best pass blocking feature backs in the NFL - which is a very under rated asset in the NFL
 
It looks like Garcon is out...

That leaves me with WR choices of Decker and Welker. Ugh. Guess I'll go with Welker. There's no chance the Pats bench him in favor of Edlemen again, right? I mean, if they hope to beat the Ravens they've gotta use Welker, right?

As much as I'd like to start Pitta I just can't start him over Witten. Dallas at home against the Bucs just seems like a guaranteed rout with Romo tossing for 400+ and Witten finally returning to his normal self.

I did just sign Daryl Richardson. If Jackson is out, he could be an option. Of course, the Rams are playing against the Bears... Yikes.

Sure.

I'm just not that high on Bradshaw. I feel like Brown has that "burst" that the other Giant RBs lack.
 
I heard Brown has been cut by every team he's ever played for in his short career. It's possible the panthers made him look good, that defense isn't good vs the run.
 
Fantasy football question....

Should I trade Charles for Denver wr D Thomas? My other rb's are Foster, Alfred Morris, Ben Tate, Kendall Hunter, and Best. My wr's are V. Jackson, Steve Smith, and Kenny Britt.
 
Demaryious is a beast, and is on a much much better offense. OTOH people are a little down on Charles partly due to a fear of TDs being stolen by Hillis, which is false. Charles is still a solid play IMO.

I'd personally go with DT since he could easily score more than any of your WRs and you already have Foster.
 
Looking at your roster I'd keep Charles. You're only other dependable RB is Foster. You can't count on Morris all year with Shanahan coaching. You are pretty solid at receiver already.
 
My point being, I think Charles and Thomas are somewhat even so go with what position you need.

Having said that, Thomas has more upside, so if you're going for the HR make the trade.

Soooo it's a coin flip basically.

I would make that trade, but I put more stock in WR's than I do RB's now that the NFL is a pass happy league.

Thanks for the advice guys have some rep
 
BN, I bet the Browns today. I don't like the wager but they're a home dog and quite frankly, if they don't win today, they may not get their first win til week 14.
