Gonkis Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 This is the first year I've played in an IDP league and have been fortunate with Thomas (MIA) and Peterson (JAC) at LB, Robert Mathis (IND) and Roye (CLE) at DL, and Adrian Wilson (ARI) and D. Hall (ATL) at DB. They've catapulted me into the playoffs against people who treat their IDP like kickers and stick with draft picks. So... I've been trying to use IDP info to help gage which TE to start. I've got Cooley and Witten. From an IDP point, I'd love to hear your thoughts on which is the better macthup when they face off this weekend. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA 1216635[/snapback] It's always nice to check out the defensive scheme and talents at LB when considering what TE to play week-to-week... but in your case, throw it all out the window. Do not bench Witten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoBeast Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 don't strong safeties usually take care of the deep threat TEs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkis Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 whoops. bad advice. 1226554[/snapback] I got 40+ yards and a TD out of Witten and made it to the superbowl. Darin's Grade: A. Big Hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKF Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 don't strong safeties usually take care of the deep threat TEs? 1227429[/snapback] I thought the best defense was a 3rd CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 don't strong safeties usually take care of the deep threat TEs? 1227429[/snapback] Typically, yeah. I guess it depends on the defensive scheme, who they have at linebacker... and what a "deep threat TE" really is. I mean, Gates, for example, can kill you in the flats or even burn you deep in some cases. I am a hugh fan of the TE, and in all cases where I was in a TE-mandatory situation, made sure I had one of the "big TEs". Gates in a couple, Witten in a couple. Crumpler in another. Fared rather well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
