MistaWrite Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Nice move. I'm playing him for an injured MB3 +1. He's this year's Ryan Grant - but better with the receptions (I'm in a PPR league). I'm benching PORTIS this week for him and couldn't be happier about it (other RB is new every down back MJD). And this is ofr a shot at my 2nd Superbowl in 3 years (won the 1st time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tank Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah, felt it needed to be done. Lynch= Beast Rb+Bad QB+Bad O Line+ Bad team in general+playing tough run D on the road=BENCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I must be really good since I drafted him and started him tonight. Coulda used a few less INTs from Brees, but Ill take what I have now and whatever comes at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussMan Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I traded PThomas, Jamal Lewis and Orton to a guy desperate for a QB. He also had McCallister. I got A Peterson in the deal. A few guys cried and complained big time saying I totally ripped him off. They havent said 2 words lately. And the one guy has Bush and is losing his consolation playoff game tonite becuase he doesn't have Thomas. That reminds me time to go throw it in their face one last time.

Menudo Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I've had a pretty loaded team: Aaron Rodgers, Anquan Boldin, Roddy White, Greg Jennings, Tony Gonzalez, but, RB was hurting me, as I had FWP & Mewelde, Ryan Grant, & Earnest Graham. I had no backup for Gonzo and was going to use my last add/drop on one prior to the playoffs. After Graham went down, I decided to roll the dice on Gonzo staying healthy through the playoffs. I put in for Derrick Ward and Pierre Thomas as my second option. Someone who was ahead of me on waiver wire got Ward, and I got Pierre Thomas. Needless to say, I've got some CRAZY man-love for PT Cruiser !!!!! VIVA LA FRANCE !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 +1,000picked him up week 10 ALSO, week 5 opposing team drops DeAngelo Williams and I snagged him for following week. Damn, waiver wire paid handsomely for me this year. I drafted him in Ladder and wouldn't drop him. In CBFL picked him up in the offseason. I traded Bush but wouldn't trade him. Pierre, Lance Moore, Colston...the Siants have some real bargains there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevins330 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Im the dumbass here i guess. Seen Addai missed practice again yesterday so i didnt start Pierre in hope that Rhodes gets the start vs. Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckSurprise Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 and in case anyone forgot, Pierre gets to carve up the sorry-ass Lions next sunday...I had him going on 3 teams last night, benched Lynch in one at the last minute too. I now have 1 foot in the championship on all 3 teams thanks to PT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I must be really good since I drafted him and started him tonight. Coulda used a few less INTs from Brees, but Ill take what I have now and whatever comes at the end. I have him in every league and drafted him then dropped him then repicked him up in all of them. But I didn't play him in 1 of them last night...for Sammy Morris (crap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Im the dumbass here i guess.

PatrickL Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Seriously. This guy has saved my season after Peyton Hillis got hurt last week. Heck, he might even be worth a keeper. Super Bowl next week vs Detroit would be awesome! Hope I make it! Pierre has given me a great start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 More playing time for Thomas? Saints concerned about Bush's knee, could have sprain Associated Press METAIRIE, La. -- Reggie Bush's left knee needs further examination before he'll be allowed back on the field for either of New Orleans' final two games. Noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews will look at images from Bush's latest MRI, and coach Sean Payton said Saturday the team expects to have the results by early next week. Bush was hurt when he was pushed out of bounds in the first half of Thursday night's 27-24 loss in Chicago. He remained on the sideline, often wearing his helmet and standing up as if eager to keep playing, but Payton held him out after seeing him rush for no gain on the Saints' opening drive of the third quarter. "I didn't want to play him because I could tell it was affecting him," Payton said. "Once I knew he had sprained it, I didn't want to risk ... injuring it more and putting a player in that wasn't as effective." Payton also said he has advised offensive coordinator Doug Marrone to leave for his new job as Syracuse's new head coach immediately. "We felt it was better that he move on to that position and be able to get his staff going, be able to get recruiting going," Payton said. While Marrone helped design offensive game plans and coached the offensive line, Payton has been calling the plays and choosing offensive personnel during games, something Bush alluded to when asked why he was held out in Chicago. "I just work here. I'm just an employee," Bush said after the game. "I don't call the shots. I definitely don't call the plays." Bush was not present when the locker room at the Saints' suburban training center was opened to reporters on Saturday, but Payton stuck by his decision to focus his play-calling on undrafted second-year running back Pierre Thomas, who accounted for 146 yards and two touchdowns on plays from scrimmage while also returning three kickoffs for 63 yards. "We all just work here, right? So I don't pay much attention to those comments that we're able to capture after a tough game," Payton said. Bush has "got to have this thing looked at and evaluated and he's got to stay healthy. Those are the things he's got to do and we'll help him do that in any way, shape or form, but those are decisions I've got to make during the course of a game. "In his absence, I think Pierre did a pretty good job. We probably moved the ball as effective as we had all night." Bush had eight touchdowns, including three on punt returns, before tearing the meniscus in his left knee on Oct. 19. He then missed four games before returning to action late last month. Bush had a career-long 43-yard run and scored his ninth touchdown in a victory over Atlanta on Dec. 7, but could be seen favoring his left leg during the Chicago game, after which the team said he had a sprained left knee. "Obviously, I'm rooting for all those guys. I want to play 'em. I want them to be successful and it's in my best interest that they have success," Payton said. "I just felt like (keeping Bush off the field) was the best decision and I think as we examine where he is right now, I was correct." Payton has given the Saints off until next Wednesday, when they will begin preparations for the following Sunday's game at Detroit. At 7-7, the Saints were technically still alive for a playoff berth after their loss in Chicago, but the odds were heavily against them snatching the final NFC wild-card spot. For that to happen, the Saints would have to win their final two games while several teams in front of them would have to lose most or all of their games. Marrone, among the first assistants Payton hired after taking the Saints' head coaching job in 2006, was prepared to stay in New Orleans for the rest of this season. Instead, Payton congratulated his assistant and gave him the team's blessing to focus exclusively on his new job at Syracuse. "All of us are happy for him. It's well-deserved. He's done a great job here. ... I've leaned on him heavily. We'll miss him," Payton said. "It's always a good thing when people are interested in your staff. It means you're hiring the right people." Payton said running backs coach Aaron Kromer would take over coaching the offensive line, while offensive assistant Joe Lombardi will handle the running backs.
