redknightsgoingdown Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Give your thoughts on Michael Bennett and DeShaun Foster. Looking to nab a QB real early (C Pepp) and my be left with one of these two as my 2nd RB. Thinking C pepp at pick 9, then JJ or Rudi at pick #16. This leaves me with a WR at #33 and RB at #40 (Bennett , Foster, Cadillac, R Brown, etc.)..... Gettin some feelers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote Quimby2 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Of the two i'd rather have Foster. Be sure to handcuff with Shelton though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 both of them have big upside and big downside. they're also both a little extra scary because you can't be totally sure who to back either of them up with. if i was counting on either of them as a #2 back, i'd be using my very next pick on a travis henry/jerome bettis/mike anderson type back. between the two i guess i'd probably go with bennett, but it's pretty much a coin flip. hey wait, this is fantasy advice..

Hugh 0ne Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 M. Moore should be the feature back in Minnesota. Tice got a hard on because he made a mistake on a backwards pass last year and benched him. If Tice isn't smart enough to make Moore the feature back, it'll probably happen relatively quickly when Bennett goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcmast Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I think both spell RBBC with possibly more than 2 RBs Bennett, Moore, Williams Foster, Davis, Shelton (read todays player news and they say Davis may be back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I do remember that play though, pretty bad mistake...). I thought Tice wasn't happy with Moore's inability to pick up blocking assignments and things like that. Who knows what the hell Tice is thinking though, I honestly don't think he ever remembers things that he says. If Bennett can stay healthy--a monumental 'IF'--I think he is good for 1100 yards or more, but not too many TDs. His TDs are usually greater than 10 yards. I think DeShaun has more TD potential than Bennett so I would give him the nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backward pass was the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I need to go take a nap. I saw Bennett and Foster and wondered why someone was talking about Edgar Bennett and Barry Foster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'd go with Foster before Bennett since John Fox has a brain and he's also the coach. Two for one deal there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foster over Bennett is a no brainer. Carolina has never been a RBBC team, and every back that's been the primary ball carrier has put up big stats in recent years. Anybody remember Dee Brown? He helped a lot of people during their playoff runs in 2003 just like Davis did in 2004 and Goings did in 2005. Grab Foster, grab Shelton a few rounds later and rest easy knowing that you've got a solid starter at RB for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 With the way the O-line is coming together, Foster could have a very HUGH year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course there are no guarantees, but I'd handcuff with M Moore/Shelton and feel confident I have the right handcuff. I wouldn't pay much for either though.

Guest THEbigred Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 With the way the O-line is coming together, Foster could have a very HUGH year. 933431[/snapback] ? Which one and how do we interpret that? Hugh Dougless? Meaning he's near retirement? Hugh Grant? Meaning his timing at hitting the hole will suck? Hugh Hefner? Meaning he'll be very productive? Pls clarify. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Messiahs Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I think both spell RBBC with possibly more than 2 RBs Bennett, Moore, Williams Foster, Davis, Shelton (read todays player news and they say Davis may be back) 932808[/snapback] Davis plays as much as Bennett. They are both injury prone in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I like Foster better than Bennett. I just have a good feeling about Foster this year, and I think Mewelde Moore will eventually at the very least be splitting time with Bennett.
