MERLINS Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I got in this heated discussion with a couple friends, er, fellow owners about this. I was saying how it seems that LT gets his points early in games and many times is sidelined by mid 3rd quarter. Am I way off here? I am not saying that he gets hurt, for whatever reason, he does not play in the 4th quarter in many games. Is there any way to get info on this? I want to set the record straight with these guys..... Thankz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiley Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) I'm no SD homer but I've seen quite a few of their games and I can't recall him getting benched mid-3rd quarter. Now, he did have a nagging injury, I believe hamstring one year and a rib injury another, so he was usually taken out so that may be where you're getting your info from. You're not way off but your info is slightly off because it may be based on an injury. Edited August 28, 2006 by twiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Two years ago when LT2 had the groin injury, he had a lot of DNF games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiley Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Two years ago when LT2 had the groin injury, he had a lot of DNF games. That's right...groin injury...not hamstring...or did he have one of those too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 "How often does he DNF" I fear this will not end well... In any case, yes, you can get those types of numbers on Tomlinson. They are called splits. 2002 splits 2003 splits 2004 splits 2005 splits Not sure why you'd want them for FF purposes, though. Do you start different lineups in the 1st half & the 2nd half of games?

MERLINS Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 The reason for this discussion was because I felt that he would be pulled from games and his stats would actually be better if he was in longer in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosGatosEnFuegos Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 You feel this way because he has had a lot of DNF games at the end of the last two seasons, much to the chagrin of LT owners who then had to watch Turner pop off 50+ yard TD runs. With a lingering groin injury in 2004 and his bruised/cracked rib problem in 2005, he frequently spent the last quarter, or at least the better part of it, off the field. In the beginning of the season, when he is healthy, he tends to finish any game that is not a blowout win for SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
