BIG A Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 (edited) I just hate the match up against the Jags. I realize that Davis will get allot of opportunities, but don't the Jags understand who they need to key on? Bell will get less touches, but he may bust one or two for scores. I have see allot of talk about this, and there is something to be said about going with your studs, but when do match ups trump the stud theory? Thanks for any advice you give me.

I'm leaning towards starting the BUS and Bell....I know its not much help...and on second thought, should I start BOTH Droughns and Bell???? Wow, I'm all messed up....

Wow, you really have some decisions to make. I would go JJ and Bell. I like the Dallas O-line better than the Texans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I like a healthy Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why, regardless of the matchup. 630188[/snapback] That is really good point. Looking at the predictions around the internet suggest that Bell will have a good game, but they all come with a disclaimer. Maybe I don't need to take the chance.

Ben-waa Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 If you want to play it safe...go with DD. He should get lots of looks. He is a threat through the air and on the ground. If you need to hit a homerun, take Bell. Granted...he is injured, but he was injured last week as well...look how involved he got...and look what he did with the touches that he got. The call is yours, but if it were me...I would play it safe in the FF playoffs. Good Luck. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badfish Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 (edited) I wouldn't. 630202[/snapback] The reason the disclaimer is there is because honestly nobody knows. It's a complete crap shoot. There aren't any past experiences to project against, other than college ball of course. I am stuck with the same problem. DD, Goings, and Tatum Bell. It is literally a flip of the coin. Droughns could have an outstanding game and Tatum may not see more than 5 carries. Maybe he will reinjure his shoulder. Maybe they'll have him work on his blocking and save him for the playoffs. Since Droughns is starting against Ten I would imagine he will have an awsome game if he is really the starter. I know Shanny says Droughns will be the starter, maybe he's being coy. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. I think I am starting DD and Goings. Good Luck!

Slusy Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 That is really good point. Looking at the predictions around the internet suggest that Bell will have a good game, but they all come with a disclaimer. Maybe I don't need to take the chance. 630197[/snapback] I was thinking the same thing when I was looking at JJones' matchup this week with Bell sitting on my bench. But I can't figure out what's going on in Shanahan's head, so I'm leaving Bell on the bench. I'd rather take my chances with a guy I know is going to start and at least get a few yards than someone who may never even get on the field, or who may play two snaps, fumble, and then ride the pine the rest of the game. Even if Bell was the designated starter, I'd be nervous, but given that he's not, I'd say stay away and go with the guys you know are going to start.
