rt1966 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 This is a tough one. Davis has done very well for me the last few weeks but he faces one of the toughest run defenses in the Jets. They have only allowed 5 rushing TD's all year. Meanwhile Goings goes up against the worst rushing defense in the NFL in New Orleans giving up more than 150 yards per game. If you were to rank these two RB's from 1 to 25, Davis would probably be around 10th and Goings around 25th. I just like Goings matchup this week and like the direction Carolina is going. Any thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 (edited) Gotta play the matchups and play Goings. NO's D is very, very bad. Look what Blaylock did to them. And we now see Blaylock's nothing special after he was punk'd by the Pats and has been losing carries to the "baby" Larry Johnson. So Goings, who's already proven he can run on any defense, should be able to eat up NO's D.

Windy City Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Goings against NO. Bad Def! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Soup Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I'd go with Goings and play the matchup. Beware of what Dr. Love pointed out.....Goings may split some carries with Hoover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware of what Dr. Love pointed out.....Goings may split some carries with Hoover. 591511[/snapback] Maybe I'm crazy but why would they go to a RBBC against a crappy D when Goings has already proven he can shoulder the load by himself? Hoover wasn't that spectacular when he started and/or got significant carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rt1966 Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 I agree, I don't think Hoover will be a factor, maybe spell Goings once in a while. Goings has already proved himself the last few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNL Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 It alls sounds good Goings against NO, but I have looked at 5 lineup rankings for this week, Going has been far behind DD in all of them. I too have Goings, DD, and J Jones as my second option. I am going with DD. I think he is back to his last years form. He will also catch quite few balls so if you get receptions points that is another plus, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoover wasn't that spectacular when he started and/or got significant carries. 591516[/snapback] I agree, Darin. Hoover was averaging 2 yards a carry the three games prior to his injury, while Goings has averaged 5 yards a carry. Goings will be the man, at least, that's what I'm counting on.

Studly Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Goings for sure. He will get most of the carries, and he's playing the Saints. Oh, but I think Blaylock is special. 91 yards from scrimmage isn't exactly being punked. Blaylock had 57 yards and 2 TDs on 8 carries last week against the best rushing defense in the league to go along with 21 yards from 3 catches. Whats my point? darin3 is wrong about Blaylock. That doesn't mean Goings won't tear up the Saints, he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-waa Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I am gonna have to agree with the masses on this one. Goings is your man for this weekend. The only way that I might be swayed in the other direction is if you get points for receptions. DD will probably have a tough time on the ground. He should remain active catching balls out of the backfield, though. Almost anybody is a great start against a very porous NO D. I wouldn't worry about Hoover too much. Even if he does steal some carries, they will be sparingly. Once Car sees how much luck they have running against NO, they might just run the ball on every play.

theeohiostate Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Hoover is back, so I doubt that Goings will get all of the carries. 591493[/snapback] I guess Hoover may get 1 or 2 carries I'd go with Goings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
