Cowboyz1 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Was never seen again. Anyone know what happened. Looked like a groin or a knee aggrevation. Moore handled the RB duties the rest of the game. As a moore owner who just about drop him I would like to know what's up. Didn't look to good when parker pulled up with a hitch in his gitty up. He pounded the ball in his hands and left the field never to return. It happened after this play 2-7-CIN 43 (10:17) 39-W.Parker right end ran ob at CIN 28 for 15 yards. With 10:17 left in the third. This poor guy has bad luck this year. Any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 More info from Coach. Willie Parker ran for just 37 yards on 14 carries in Pittsburgh's 27-10 win over the Bengals, and after the game, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said Parker "tweaked his knee."

RJV Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Once again, another reason why I didnt draft Willie this year when I had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 MM has more fantasy value anyways....so if you have both, it's not that big a deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 MM has more fantasy value anyways....so if you have both, it's not that big a deal... Its a big deal if they end up both sahring the touches equally....a la White/Johnson in TEN. You can't start both, and likely wouldn't be inclined to start either. The bigger issue is the emergence of Russell as the short-yardage/TD hawk. That puts some serious dents into both MM and Willie's value.

That puts some serious dents into both MM and Willie's value. My thoughts on both points exactly. Fortunately, I'm the guy who picked up MM off waivers, not the guy who drafted FWP with a reasonably high pick. Thus, I'm less worried about MM being marginalized by sharing touches than the other owner. Of course, I'd just as soon as have MM be the man. In terms of the TD vulture, that would be my concern as well. I didn't see the SD play where MM got stuffed at the 1 but did see the Indy play and honestly can't imagine any RB who would have scored on that play. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come. I mean, MM was doing fine at the goal line right up until those two plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, MM was doing fine at the goal line right up until those two plays. Yeah, but Russell appears to be more of a bruiser than both FWP and MM so I can't blaim them using him. However, MM is a great receiving back and a good runner. I own MM and not FWP and I hope he gets more playing time. FWP does not seem to be near 100%, in the few carries he did have he did not look explosive at all. I remember seeing one play where MM went out for a pass after faking to stay and block...he totally sold it and got big yardage. You have to play MM is your Tomlin.

efi4eye Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yikes, FWP has been a total bust this year. If I owned him, I really don't think I would be starting him until he put two injury free games in a row together. That's twice now he's appeared healthy and started only to get hurt and do nothing. With the way MM is playing, they need to just sit Parker for the rest of the year and let him get completely healthy IMO. MM seems like a much better pass catcher anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
