dolphz Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 After he put up that stinker against KC, no way am I playing him against PIT. Deuce McAllister is my starter (and Matt Forte). Who are you playing instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I cnsidered sitting him against PIT for BGE. Boy am I glad I didnt. LT against PIT might not be a good matchup, but I wont sit him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I'd never sit LT unless I thought he wasn't playing. Having suffered this far, I'd hate him to go nuts while some scrub got me 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcjon Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I considered sitting him for Hightower, but am going to stick with him one more week. I also considered benching TJones Thursday for Hightower because of the Jets matchup and am very glad I didn't Moral: Stick with the stud.

Furd Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I traded Tomlinson (first pick overall) for Warner (8th round maybe) and Hightower (not drafted). Its a crazy game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinatown dragons Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Pittman STL Good luck with that...!! Benching LT for Antonio Pittman/????? wow, think i've seen it all......~~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffjunkey Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't see how you can bench LT unless you are incredibly deep at RB. True he has a tough matchup, but you never know what might happen. We've all seen bad matchups on paper not translate to the actual game. That's what is so great about the sports. The unexpected.

detlef Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 If Parker was still out, I would have benched him for Moore but I just can't see doing it now that it appears Moore will be splitting carries at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 LT is a notorious second half breakout FF RB. No way in hell do you bench him....regardless of the matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 LT is a notorious second half breakout FF RB. No way in hell do you bench him....regardless of the matchup. Disagree. Philip Rivers is having an excellent season, and the Chargers have been able to move the ball without LT putting up consistent numbers most of the season. Anyone who says that you never bench LT regardless of matchup is living in the past. Granted, you would need some pretty solid other options to justify benching LT in most situations. On a side note, it's going to be interesting to see where LT gets drafted next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudolefty Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm sticking with LT. Not much choice with BGE, Fargas, and Rice as the alternatives. Hope he gets involved in the passing game some and finds a way to score. Heck, maybe he'll throw one in. He hasn't done that all year (yet).

On the side note: I still believe LT is a top 5 back for 2-3 years more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins1 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I am benching LT for M.Lynch this week. As much as I would like to think LT can break out at anytime, he didn't even get it done last week against KC, so I don't think he is considered STUD status at least for the rest of this year. With that being said, Pitt's Def is pretty tough against the run, so I'm going to roll the dice and hope Lynch puts up a solid game against CLEV. on Monday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd stick with LT. Oh and I traded LT a few weeks ago for Greg Jennings and Earnest Graham. I am now rotating Chris Johnson, Deangelo Williams, Ronnie Brown and Slaton depending on matchup.

It would be a great way for Gates to get his 50th career TD!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
