Bronco Billy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) The season is exactly 1 game old, and already I'm outcoaching myself right into idiocy. Had Sproles in my starting lineup (16 team league) because I thought NO would have to pass a bunch to keep up with GB. This is also a league where we get return yardage. Then I start doing a bunch of research, reading differing opinions, and go right against my better judgment and remove Sproles from my starting lineup and insert Andre Roberts instead, because of what a crappy pass D CAR is supposed to have and the uncertainty in the NO RB rotation. Needless to say, Sproles' 23+ FF pts is now sitting on my freakin' bench in a matchup against one of the top teams in the league. Now Roberts is going to have to come up with a 6 catch/100+ yd/1 TD game (while sharing time as AZ's WR2) just to break even. Hi, my name is Bronco Billy, and I'm a FF moran.

lawofmurphy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 If there's one thing I've learned from a decade or so doing this stuff, it's best to hold off and wait for all the games to be played (to completion) before you start whining OR bragging.

rattsass Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Aside from replacing an injured/out player, I'd say my success rate with game-day roster changes is about 25%. At this point I just try to suppress any such urges because your first instinct (if you have been playing as long as we have) is usually correct. But you know that. Moran.

MikesVikes Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I didn't play Sproles in any lineup. But I'm glad that he's got it in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I didn't play Sproles in any lineup. But I'm glad that he's got it in him. +1 I drafted Sproles because I know what he can do. The only uncertainty is how the coach will use him. After last night and with the injury to Colston, I like my chances with Sproles this season.

BS Miscreant Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Thought about it several times during the day, then the overwhelming urge to put him my line-up hit me about the time I was putting my son to bed. I come out of his room and see it's 8:32 but the game hasn't started yet so I run to the computer... he's locked... I run back in to see the game still hasn't started... tried to put him in at exactly 8:35 to no avail... game actual starts at 8:42. Fargin' Bastage!!! The worst part is I'm the commish and seriously considered just overriding it and putting him in. Being a good commish, I opted against opening that potential can o worms.

Sturphy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Anymore I try not to set my lineups til the last minute. I still make a ton of mistakes, but I don't kick myself in the ass for pulling someone at the last minute This is one I struggle with. It comes down to out-smarting yourself and not trusting your instincts. And I'm a dumb-arse to begin with. Every time I make a last second swap it burns me.

byron2112 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I wouldn't take it too bad BB. It would take some balls to start a RB like Sproles knowing what we knew before last nights game. I don't think I would ever do it unless I absolutely had no one else to go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
