WK11 - Det at Car Det scores 9

Original Team Drafted 9th in 10 team league: Travis Henry Ronnie Brown TO D McNabb Thomas Jones Deon Branch Mark Clayton Santonio Holmes Ladell Betts Devery Henderson Kevin Jones Jeff Wilkins Ronald Curry Jason Campbell Trades: Brandon Jacobs for Thomas Jones Reggie Brown for Mark Clayton Lee Evans for Ron Curry and Ladell Betts Jamal Lewis for T Henry and Selvin Young Brett Favre and Bernard Berrian for Santonio Holmes and Kurt Warner Free Agent : Derrick Ward Selvin Yound Kurt Warner Kris Brown Jason Hanson Ron Dayne Kurt Warner Record is 9-1 first place, using lots of smoke and mirrors.

If you look at some of the other second and third tier receiver busts from draft day, aside from Devery Henderson/Darrel Jackson, Clayton is about the last man standing who has not really made a contribution here in the second half of the season. Similar to Evans or Reggie Brown or even Bernard Berrian he could have an impact down the stretch. This is the time of year he began to make his move last year. Aside from the QB situation in Balt, Clayton has been battling the injury bug since training camp. He may finally be fairly healthy and that's why he is becoming more of a part of the offense. Besides, Balt defense cannot win games for them anymore and in fact cannot even keep the score down to play a field position game with a run fist offense. Balt will be forced to pass just to stay in games. I believe this environment puts Clayton in a much better position to continue to put up the numbers he did last week, regardless of which dog is QB for Balt any given week. Barring a real turn-around in the health of Balt defense, the offense will be forced to score more than 17 pts to win, even the Ravens coaching staff will be forced to come to this realization.

Just In From the NFL front office: "The only real problem with steriods in the NFL, is not that they make you jump higher, run faster, hit harder, cause anger and unbridled agreession, hell that's what football is all about, no the real probleml is that they give you a small weeney."

Boy Howdy! God must really be watchin' out for Kurt Warner.

What's Graham shown? Another option would be nice. Gotta door numero tres?

He ran in practice last Friday. He has not been ruled out for this Sunday, but I find it unlikely that he will play. I am sure we won't have a definitive answer until later in the week, if not game time next Sunday.

Thanks for the insight? Worth every sip of my margarita on a Saturday night. Your Blog almost...almost makes it worth loging on Saturday evening . Good stuff dude! Like to see your stand-up routine. Being north of the border, can't wait until snow starts building up on your door stoop and you actually have some time on your hands to write this stuff.

You Got It man! Most start here.

If I remember correctly, YoMa had to change the name once he went "Big Time". Old name just not classy enough to banner the home page.

Agree, not worth doing this week. Give it at least another week. Ward is worth the start next couple of weeks, then he and Jacobs will split time. Johnson is an upgrade over Driver and could be top 5 WR this year, but knees are a tricky deal. Make sure he is ok before you mortgage the farm.

Dos Amigos, stats should start to improve this week.

In other league starting Curry and Coles over Evans. Trying to trade for him but he hasn't sunk far enough yet. Couldn't get a deal done at Mark Clayton/Ronnie Brown for L Evans/DeAngelo Williams

Thanks for the chuckle....... ........ Might laff a little more but still licking my own open wounds known as Ronnie B and Donovan something. Great Stuff

Peace out dude, plenty of good karma headed your way.
