Tally Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Having a bit of trouble deciding on my 3rd DB and my 3rd LB. Not only for week 1 but really who are the best plays in general. Need 3 from each group. How would you rank the following players? LB- B. Urlacher, W. Witherspoon, J. Vilma & B. Ruud DB- C. Tillman, R. Marshall, D. Whitner & S. Jones Will Simoneau eat into Vilma's playing time? and how about adjusting to a new team/system even if it is a 3-4, Is Rudd possibly a better play than Vilma? And with the DB's I generally have always drafted/started safety's over CB's so I'm somewhat apprehensive about Tillman & Marshall and Whitner was on my team last year and I liked him...he seemed to be pretty consistent, is he really my #4? Scoring system is tackle heavy..... ATK - 0.5 points DFR - 1 point DFTD - 6 points FF - 2 points Int - 3 points PDef - 1 point SACK - 2 points STY - 2 points TK - 1 point Plus a 2 point bonus @ 5+ TK Plus a 1 point bonus @ 8+ TK Plus a 1 point bonus @ 11+ TK Plus a 1 point bonus @ 14+ TK Plus a 1 point bonus @ 17+ TK Plus a 1 point bonus @ 20+ TK Thanks in advance Edited September 2, 2008 by Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueapple Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 1a) Urlacher 1b) Witherspoon 2) Vilma 3) Ruud 1) Jones 2) Tillman 3) Marshall (better player than Tillman but still isnt on the field for every snap) 4) Whitner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Still pondering these 2 decisions. Does anyone else have any opinions on playing Rudd over Vilma and/or playing Whitner over one of these 2 CB's? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I think Vilma could be in for a very nice bounce back year but it would be nice to see him perform for a week on his surgically repaired knee...with that said I think you can probably flip a coin on vilma and ruud and be ok....i also tend to think Ruud will have more opportunities on defense vs an explosive saints D then vilma will vs TB as for your DBs...I would have Whitner as the odd man out but monitor Sean Jones due to him being limited in practice due to his knee...if he jones is a go I would run him out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
