i_am_the_swammi Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 wow, they boldly suspended him for a bye week. that's pretty lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAGUECHAMP Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 So who would assume his role? Hixon? Both Hixon and Steve Smith are available on waivers. Which one is more valuable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrudge Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) wow, they boldly suspended him for a bye week. that's pretty lame. Do they pay by the game or by the week during the regular season? If it's the former, whoopdedo. If it's the latter, I know it would sting the pocketbook. Edit: Nevermind. Golic just answered my question. He loses two paychecks. Edited September 24, 2008 by cdrudge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I believe Steve Smith would would get more balls thrown to him in his absense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the latter, I know it would sting the pocketbook. He is being docked two weeks pay, so it is a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL weekly paychecks are 1/17 the annual contract amount, so bye weeks are included in the formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAGUECHAMP Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Isn't Hixon Plax's backup? I want to make sure I'm grabbing the right guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Isn't Hixon Plax's backup? I want to make sure I'm grabbing the right guy. Why bother? You get nothing from him this week and history has shown that it's anyone's guess who gets the looks when a WR is out. Sure, Hixon may line up in his position but that doesn't mean much. It's not like a RB where the back up is going to get 20 touches when the #1 goes down. Besides, best case scenario, you get one good week and then he's back to the bench.

Giants56 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Isn't Hixon Plax's backup? I want to make sure I'm grabbing the right guy. Well Steve Smith would be ranked as the 3rd WR but I really think he is most valuable in the slot. I went to the Giants game this weekend and they shuttle their receivers in and out a lot. I would expect for Hixon to get Plax's deep routes and end zone shots with Smith continuing his middle field/3rd down work. I think for the one week Hixon has more upside in a yardage/TD league, Smith will likely catch more passes so in a PPR he may be better.

I should have added that I agree with this, I think the Giants will spread the ball around quite a bit with Toomer the best bet for a good game. My opinions on Hixon/Smith was assuming you were going to have to replace Plax and didn't have great options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Seriously - does one have to be mentally retarded to be a stud WR in the NFL, with exceptions being guys like Harrison & Ward? It seems like the greater proportion of the stud WRs have ego/legal/woman/dick size issues that they just have to spread across their team and interject into games.

It seems like the greater proportion of the stud WRs have ego/legal/woman/dick size issues that they just have to spread across their team and interject into games. You know, there might be something to the fact that these guys have to fight for attention. Lineman don't care. Defensive players make their own plays. QBs touch the ball every play and RBs don't have plead their case about getting theirs. WRs go out and do their job and then have to hope the QB both finds them and gets them the ball. I would imagine that would be a recipe for creating an ego-maniac because they have to sell themselves on every play. Either because they feel they're more open than the QB feels or that they can make a tough catch so the QB should just go to them anyway. Not saying that it's OK that these guys are the way they are, but rather that it likely takes a pretty ego-driven guy to (even compared to the other egos that dominate pro sports) to do well at that position.

FishFreak Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Man I thought Plax was just getting over the maturity bubble. This can't make the Giants feel good giving him more guaranteed money with a new contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepinmofo Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Does this create an unusual precedent? If another player is suspended four weeks by the team and one of the weeks is a bye, but they really mean, four games, well, chaos, yeah? Im sure they did it as such to dockhim of his pay (where it hurts), but only lose him for 1 game. Sounds smart to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 I understand why they did it, but won't the NFLPA use this the next time a player gets suspended? Well, good point. However, usually they dont get to pick the weeks they want to suspend a player, it just happened to be the week they have their bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to think that GMs are savvy enough to know whether or not they have a bye week coming up and will make the suspension mean what they intend it to mean. 4 weeks means 4 weeks from today, you are not suspended anymore. If that means 4 games, that means 4 games, if that means 3 games, that means 3 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
