sksmith Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 So glad I held onto them...final draft pick that didn't do great first couple weeks, but dropped other players to hold on and stream DST until they came around...and boy have they! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedaiken Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Spent my last $2 FAAB to pick them up and avoid having to play the 'Aints DST for the playoffs, and MAN they have been balls out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn5033 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) They've been on my bench the last 2 weeks. I am starting them this week and it should continue against Drew Stanton and the Ellington-less cards offense.

hezagenius Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I dropped them last week to pick up the MIN D. Bad call there. I still squeaked by with a win and will try to pick them back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon33km Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I heard people talking their defense before the season started. They were horrible. Now they are on fire... Jeff Fisher knew what he was doing trading away RG3 for them picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 A guy in my league played them early in the season and suffered but never dropped them, we all wondered why as we all knew they'd improve but didn't expect this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'canes2004 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) David, or one of the other writers on the Huddle staff, had a little snippet on the Rams defense for the rest of the year about 4 weeks ago. Talked about their schedule for the last part of the year, which FF owners will be fighting for a playoff spot, and the playoffs. Home games against OAK, AZ and NYG with a road game against WAS. I had been doing spot DEF/ST each week, looking for match-ups with the available teams in the FA market in my league but seeing that schedule, I had to pick them up. Now entering into the playoffs, 2 favorable home games against a depleted Cards team and a Giants team looking ahead to the off season. Hugh pick up for sure.

NAUgrad Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It just looked to me like the defensive players hadn't meshed. I was a little puzzled at the beginning of the season as to why they weren't playing as well as expected. I think it just took the team some time to jell because they are lights out right now. Looking forward to tonight's game and when they play Seattle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I drafted them in two out of my three leagues and they did nothing early on. I dumped them for the eagles defense and have been more than fine since, but nice to see them finally come around. There's just too much talent defensively for them not to be one of the top units in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Wasn't able to pick them up this week, but my opponent did. So they should pitch another shutout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 i have a weird feeling that Cards will produce tonight and Rams defense will not put up anywhere near the numbers they did last two games  Cards 24 - rams 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think the Rams are a very scary team right now. Rams D will dominate AZ. Â Rams 20 - AZ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 i have a weird feeling that Cards will produce tonight and Rams defense will not put up anywhere near the numbers they did last two games  Cards 24 - rams 20  I haven't watched the Rams much this year but just saw Cards-Chiefs game (short 30 min version on NFL Network Game Rewind). The AZ offense still looked pretty good, their biggest problem was in the red zone. They attempted 5 FG, missing 2 of them. If they can fix that a little they could easily score 20-30 points. The Chiefs are not a great defense but no pushovers either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Keep in mind that their last 2 games were OAK and WAS. They were playing two of the worst teams in the league. They seem to be "in the zone" right now but the more I think about it, the more I think they come down to earth tonight. They could still do well, but I don't see a shutout coming. They could easily hold AZ to 10pts since AZ's offense has some questions but I wouldn't be surprised to see AZ get 20-24 points tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishPride Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Battle of FG's, you could put two soccer teams from the MLS and it would probably be more exciting! But with that being said, its nice to see defense actually being played and not in a sea of yellow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The Rams def is laying a hugh egg for me tonight. Gut said to sit them after two monster games (which I benefited greatly from), but couldn't get off the point chasing train. Just hope it doesn't cost me a first round exit. Shoulda gone with Giants D instead, honda stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Probably going to cost me, started Mason as well. Such as it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonedaddies Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 There was a dominant defense tonight, but it wasn’t the Rams! 11-3 and still no respect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other guy played ARI so I'm basically starting 6pts in the hole, I think I need to avoid looking at my lineup all day tomorrow to clear my head.
