Big Country Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looking for a source to cite, but while discussing lineup options for FFPC, bushwacked just texted me to say Clayton just announced that LT would be getting the start over Greene this week.

Big John Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I think this is more ceremonial, as they are playing his former team. Might not be that much change in the carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â While likely true, I still wanted to "break the news", haven't had a chance to do that in a real long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Even as a ceremonial start, LT does steal touches and who the hell knows what could happen. Would it shock anyone to see LT have a better fantasy day than Greene? They are separated by 8 fantasy points on the season and haven't had there bye week yet. Last week LT had 7.6 points to Greene's 8.7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoog Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I think this is more ceremonial, as they are playing his former team. Might not be that much change in the carries.  This  What I didn't understand in the projections is that DD picks the Jets to win with a Defensive TD. That means he thinks the score score without that would have the Chargers winning?  Isn't it a little risky predicting a defensive TD?

gilthorp Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 You know they are going to try like hell to get him a TD, as the Chargers are the one team he hasn't scored against in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Tomlinson might start getting more touches, but like last year, he will wilt under the load. Â SD will kick the Jets butts tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Not to hijack the thread, but do some of you believe that if he performs well, that he can take the starting job from Greene? Â I really don't think it'll happen. LT will get the start tomorrow but Greene should put up the bigger numbers and has already started seeing the lion's share of touches. I think Greene could really explode in the 2nd half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dope man Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I think it is entirely possible that LT could take a lot more touches with a good showing against SD. I mean, what has Green ever done??? Disappoint!!! And he will continue to do so, LT may be old for a running back in this league, but he still has something left in his tank....

gilthorp Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Greene is the type of guy that needs the ball 20+ times a game to get his groove on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slainte Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) all fair points about greene, but let's be honest. it's not like the line has been consistently opening holes for him. they did a bit when they declared their renewed dedication to the run game. that week, i thought he ran fairly well with what the line gave him. Â greene is not the running back that will create space if the line can't. but, if the line gets more in sync, greene's success will increase. Â otherwise, you have the same 'run up the middle into a brick wall' run-game. it would be nice if they push the edges. but they rarely do. . .at least in the games that i've watched. Â not to mention, it isn't like sanchez is forcing defenses to respect the pass. i would have thought he'd be further along than where is he is right now.

I think the Jets, as Ryan stated, are really making an effort to run the ball and get Greene going. :fingerscrossed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
