The Grey Pilgrim Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Does anybody have some proof, or at least a strong opinion of whether it is better to start DB's against a predominant running team or a predominant passing team? The Vikings run the ball a lot, and T. Jackson may only pass a few time during the game. The Saints pass the ball 40 times a game, and don't run the ball very often. So what type of game plan might influence how many points a DB might get in a game. Our league awards 1/2 point for an assisted tackle, a full point for a solo tackle, 2 points for a sack, and 3 points for an interception or fumble recovery. Would DB's get more tackles against a running team, or a passing team, where they might make tackles after a catch? Any ideas?

The Grey Pilgrim this is not an easy nor a short answer.... it would probably be easier if you are trying to decide between a few different players to just list them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grey Pilgrim Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 For me, the question is one for long term purposes, more than just a WDIS type post. But my two DB's are Leigh Bodden, Browns playing at home against the Bills, or Chris Harris at home against the Seahawks. Any help or opinions are welcome.

darin3 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I guess the quickest answer is: play FS vs. passing teams and play SS vs. running teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsfan39 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I would say a running team, Interceptions go purely by luck, players dont get INTs all the time, while they record tackles every game see mine here- http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=235941 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
