BigMikeinNY Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 My Flex - should it be? Benson, Barlow, or Willie Parker? I want to flip a coin at this point, I dont see one standing out more than the rest? BigMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Killah Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Barlow for week one. See how the rookies pan out first. Then you can make an informed decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonk2 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Barlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Parker. He doesn't have much competition for carries in week 1. Barlow? If St. Louis d looks as good as they did against Detroit, I don't think so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispirons Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 i'd take a chance on parker. the safe pick is barlow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneanddone Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I can see Parker doing well...think you just have to wait and see Benson.......as far as Barlow, again I think you'll have to wait and see what he's going to do this year..and how aften will his number even be called this week, after the first 10 mins of the game they'll be throwin for their lives.......

bullweikel Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 i would go with "fast willie" parker...........the steelers will run the ball and he will get almost all the carries, plus titans def. isnt very good. take a chance and good luck!!!..........

theeohiostate Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Easy, Parker. Pittsburg will RUN, RUN, RUN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsFanUnfortunately Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Easy, Parker.Pittsburg will RUN, RUN, RUN 980196[/snapback] Play Benson and anyone else from UT, they are going to roll today! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haskel Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Parker. He's the only RB on the Pit roster (sorry Hayes) and the TEN defense sucks vs. the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsFanUnfortunately Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Seriously, I would play Parker too. He is going to get 25 carries and the Steelers are going to roll over the Titans. I almost am playing him over DD. But I will play DD and probably live to regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Parker. Both Staley and Bettis are sidelined, and the Steelers are playing Tennessee. Easy choice, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Parker - at least you know that PIT's O-line can run protect with the best of them. Barlow will likely get plenty of looks, but I have zero faith in his O-line until I see it do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEPats Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Definitely Parker.. SF will be forced to air it out once they get down by 2 touchdowns early.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Man Inc Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I agree with everyone else; play Parker and don't look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakeFighter Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm playing Parker over Jamal Lewis...partly because JLew is splittin carries, but I like Parker's upside against Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonehand Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Parker. He's the only RB on the Pit roster (sorry Hayes)... 980274[/snapback] Oh Really? A certain pair of prognosticators on another site (cough*espn*cough) beg to differ! "Verron Haynes: Bold prediction: He'll be NFL's most productive No. 4 back in Week 1. With RBs Duce Staley (knee) and Jerome Bettis (calf) both likely to miss the opener and temporary starter RB Willie Parker built more like a Mini Cooper than a Cadillac, Haynes surely will get some work in against Tennessee. Haynes, at 225 pounds, might even get the call on the goal line. He isn't a safe start in most leagues, but he certainly warrants a look in deep format."

Bonehand Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm playing Parker over Jamal Lewis...partly because JLew is splittin carries, but I like Parker's upside against Tennessee. 980410[/snapback] I dunno about that one. 20 carries from Lewis against Indy is better than 30 from most backs. He could roll just like Dillon on Thurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Soup Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I think I'd have to go with Barlow than an unknown back out of nowhere. Too much of an unknown for me with Parker even though he has good upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakeFighter Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I dunno about that one. 20 carries from Lewis against Indy is better than 30 from most backs. He could roll just like Dillon on Thurs. 980428[/snapback] I seriously doubt JLew is gonna top 200 yards and a score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
