Jimmy_22 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Guy comes out of nowhere and is having a field day. With Bush out, does that bring Duece back into the picture - or - do they simply feature Thomas? I'm starting him, but have to bench two of these guys (Addai, Rhodes, or SJax). The SuperToe Championship is on the line - Hope the choice is correct. (yes, we have an actual SuperToe mounted with name plates for the yearly winners) Edited December 17, 2008 by Jimmy_22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'm starting him over Portis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddfish2 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Right now I I'm leaning towards sitting Matt Forte and Thomas Jones this week, to play Pierre Thomas and Adrian Peterson.

peepinmofo Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Pierre didnt come out of nowhere. He ended last year on the same note. Im starting him either over LT vs Tampa or Lynch vs Denver. Im debating which one, but itll be one of those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thomas now is one of my regular guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LayLow Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) He is actually BETTER then most regular guys. This year's Ryan Grant and he is on ALL of my superbowl teams (2) along with Brees. Especially with Bush out this weekend...he will get a TON of checkdown receptions Edited December 17, 2008 by LayLow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furd Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Gotta pick two: Thomas Bush Portis C Johnson I'm starting Thomas for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish247 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Versus DET and with Bush's iffy status... Thomas is a no brainer start this week. A quick glance at the schedule, I think only AD and Slaton might be as good of a play as PT. Forte would be too but not with the balky toe even though he's expected to play. I should've started him over Portis last week. It wouldn't have made a difference in my outcome but it could've been disasterous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameltosis Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Jacobs C Johnson Lynch Choice Thomas I need to pick two. I will probably play Thomas and Jacobs or Lynch depending on Jacobs health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'll be starting him over Jacobs, and along side Adrian Peterson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MALENURSE Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 No brainer to me. And i'll be keeping him for next year. Really watch this guy run the ball if you get a chance to watch a Saints game. He's the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have 4 RB's to consider and need to pick 2 of these P-Thomas Slaton Tomlinson S-Jackson Right now P-Thomas seems to be the lock of the group Slaton is the favorite for the 2nd spot Some how my top 2 backs are likely on the sidelines watching the 2 youngsters get all the carries this week on my team. It almost hurts to sit Tomlinson considering I traded D-Will and Gore for him 2 years ago and now in my biggest game of the year I don't even start him. S-Jackson is a little easier to sit but I have to remember the 3 TD game he scored vs Dallas earlier this season while he was on my bench plus I owe my 2006 CFL Championship to S-Jackson and his 4 TD game in 2006. It would have been nice if StL played a team like Baltimore and the Chargers played a team like Pittsburgh this week then the decision would have been a lot easier.

pig devilz Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 playing him and Slaton over a nicked up Jacobs...but probably would start them both anyway but it would be a tougher choice if Jacobs wasn't dinged, and playing Car....

I think MJD needs to be on that short list too (Playing Indy at home). Jax always runs all over Indy, and there's no FTaylor their to take touches. Back to the topic at hand, I'm starting PThomas and MJD over S-Jax and Forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickL Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I definitely am playing Pierre. I had to play him last week in my divisionals after Peyton Hillis got hurt and he carried me to the super bowl. I am leaning toward keeping him for 2009 as well.

Back to the topic at hand, I'm starting PThomas and MJD over S-Jax and Forte. disagree a bit ...Bob Sanders is back , Indy can stack the run since Jax has no Matt jones and really no other receivers that are threatening ...i think MJD struggles a bit and i would not be surprised if he does not find the end zone tomorrow night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD's career #'s, game by game vs Indy: 06 13 car. 103; 4 rec. 32 1 TD 15 car 166 2 TD's; 1 rec 15 07 13 car. 53 1 TD; 3 rec. 17 (only blowout of all the games. Taylor had 55 yds rushing) 11 car 52 1 TD; 1 rec 5 (Taylor had over 100 yds rushing) 08 19 car. 107 1 TD; 4 rec 59 ??? Jacksonville will be ready to play tomorrow night. The only way I see him not having a big game is if Indy blows Jax out. I think you're giving MJones too much credit. True, he is probably their best WR, but that's not saying much.

isleseeya Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I do think Indy blows out jax tomorrow ...blow out may be too strong but definitely think indy wins by 2 td's but worse I think jax will be playing catch up ... Indy with sanders is always tougher to run on ... I don't think mjd gets more than 60 - 70 yards rushing and 5 catches for 40 yards tomorrow night with no td's but even if I am off I certainly don't believe MJD is one of the top 3 plays this week at rb which I think is what was said that made me post in this thread initially ...

Really watch this guy run the ball if you get a chance to watch a Saints game. He's the real deal. he really jumped out at me in the MNF game agaisnt the packers. i thought he ran really hard and with a purpose. glad i pciked him up. he's a no-brainer start the next 2 weeks and a keeper next year.
