The Wolf Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 As soon as I read that Vinny looks to be starting for Carolina, I snagged the Cardinals D. In retrospect, they were worth owning anyway. Now, what really makes this great is that my brother just sent me an IM asking me if something is wrong with the free agent listings on MFL...because the Cardinals were there earlier and are gone now! As his Commish, I kindly pointed him to where he could find the Cards...the link I sent him was my roster. I'm still laughiing at him curse me out.... Man I love moments like this...!

Big Dogs Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) As soon as I read that Vinny looks to be starting for Carolina, I snagged the Cardinals D. In retrospect, they were worth owning anyway. is Vinny Starting???? I saw that he was signed to back up Carr, but not necessarily starting??? Granted, my dead grandmother can avoid the blitz better than Carr, so i'm sure it's only a matter of time. If he is, I'm going to make a line up change and insert Zona in as my defense this week over Seattle!!!

The Wolf Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 ...OK...I didn't see it on PN...it was on ESPN.com...my bad. Here's the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3058767 The story also reads that Carr missed practice for the second straight day with a sore back and Testaverde's chances of playing were greatly increased. In my excitement about riling my brother up I was not completely accurate with the post...my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdawg Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Starting to look like Carr will play, but even so the AZ D could put up some nice numbers. I'm still starting 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I thought about Arizona's defense this week ... opt'ed for the Giants instead. Pittsburgh is my defense normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Guy in my local dropped SEA to pick up AZ. I snapped them up and am playing them against him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have the option of Arizona, and they're very tempting. Regardless of who plays QB for Carolina, is AZ worth putting in over NYG? NYG are playing Atlanta who're missing the L&R Tackle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Not so sure that Vinny starting is anymore alluring than Carr starting when it comes to setting your D. Oddly enough, a team in my league actually waived AZ D this week, but that means they can't be picked up until next week anyway. That's OK, Seattle at home pissed off about last week against NO should be rather tasty as well. Of course, now that I've said that, this will be the week NO figures it out.

Bonedaddies Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Guy in my local dropped SEA to pick up AZ. I snapped them up and am playing them against him... I made a last minute move right before kickoff last week and picked up AZ to start over SEA, end up getting 18 instead of 3....all day monday I announced my greatness to other owners about what a sweet move I made........only needing 22 from Barber, I surley had a shot at getting the "W". Turns out I do not get the points and the D that I dropped to pick up AZ was BUFF.....ouch!! 6 turnovers, 2 pick 6's and a kickoff return TD....to think it was right there in front of me.....damit SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS !!!er, it's just a game!

Trots Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'm going with the Giants D over my usual starter - Minnesota. Monday Nite against Joey Harrington? Sign me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerwin8 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'm going with the Giants D over my usual starter - Minnesota. Monday Nite against Joey Harrington? Sign me up. The Giants should be your starting Def over ANYBODY this week. A D-Line capable of a ton of sacks? Joey Harrington? An undrafted rookie free agent making his first ever start at LT? A sophomore 5th-round pick making HIS first ever start at RT? The only way this gets better is if Joey gets pulled for Leftwich again... then the Giants will be able to force a ton more fumbles to go along with the sacks. Also, from what I hear, the home field advantage in the Georgia Dome is almost non-existant. I hate to sell out on my own team here, but it does NOT look good. I would say that I'm just hoping for the 1st overall draft pick at this point, but the Rams look to be giving us a run for our money... plus, it's still nice to see the team win from time to time.

MikesVikes Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I was just wondering... Shouldn't we be thanking them after the game this weekend and not before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFairlane Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I've got AZ's D this week, and I think it would actually be better for Carr to start. He's gimpy and seems to be a magnet for sacks. Even though Vinny is 206 years old, he is a veteran who knows how to get rid of the football to avoid a sack; something that still seems to elude Carr. As far as the Giants D, I think they're actually worthy of being a lower-end every week starter for the rest of the way. It seems that it took them a few games to start to click with the Philly defensive scheme, but now they're putting it all together. To me, they have the look of a playmaking D, but not a stingy one. They'll give up their fair share of points, but they'll have plenty of sacks, INT's, and fumble recoveries while they're doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSULions Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Carr practices - Listed Probable Looks like David Carr will be the guy under Center with him practicing today. Regardless of who is starting, the Panthers will have a tough assignment in the desert on Sunday. I actually picked up the Cardinals to fill in for the Colts on their bye this weekend, so I will be starting them against my own Panthers... but I like the matchup and I am trying to win FF games. If the Panthers win I will be happy regardless, but if they stink up the joint at least I should score well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerMurf Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I have been very impressed with Arizona's defense. They like to get after the QB and Carr....well he likes to hold on to the ball too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpuma Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I thought for sure that Vinny would throw a few int at least. I started ARI over Green Bay. It was a difference of 12 points and will cost me the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
