Randall Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Good question, Droughens is listed higher on the depth chart, but that could change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stimer Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Does it matter? 941367[/snapback] Sadly enough, this is probably the best answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migarvin Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 why wouldn't it matter? both rushers have reached 1000 yards for a season in the past. If one of them wins the job outright he is a fantasy starter. Check greens rookie year - he was impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Droughns is above Green on the depth chart. Droughns looked pretty decent against the Lions but, it was the Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Rodriguez Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 IMHO, Green has the edge over Droughns right now if Suggs is unable to go. However, do yourself a favor and stay far away from this situation if at all possible. It stinks of RBBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Green started the Detroit game this weekend and was very impressive. Monitor the game this weekend and then expect William Green to be announced starter for week 1. That's my hunch. Green has been a total team soldier in pre-season doing any and everything Crommel asks. Green is a former #1 pick who is running with very good burst and is showing enough speed to get to the edge. He is starting to develop into the runner Butchy Boy thought he had back when he drafted him. I then envision a couple scenarios 1) Green becomes the player they thought they had when they got him and Suggs/Droughns serve as nothing other than backups 2) Suggs returns and steals carries while Droughns gets chances and it becomes a RBBC on a bad football team 3) Green flames, ends up buried on the bench and which point Suggs becomes #1. Keep in mind, this is Cleveland and they stink so their RBs at best will be inconsistent. I don't have the confidence Droughns will be valuable to a fantasy team this year. Mind you, I love this Droughns kid...he's a class act who has his head on straight, but I'm betting its either Green or Suggs in Cleveland this year. New England was not famous for RBBC under Romeo so I'd expect one guy to establish himself. With Suggs banged up (again) here is the golden opportunity in front of Green. I burned an 18th round pick on him yesterday and failed to get him in my other league, but will clearly monitor him and make a move to bring him in if it looks like Green could be the guy. The bottom line is this is one of those teams where no one really knows...if you drafted already or will draft this weekend you will have a lot of speculation to do, but if you have a spot between William Green and say a 6th reciever on your roster I'd take a stab at Green. You'll know within the first 2 or 3 weeks of the season if he will contribute to your team or if you can cut him and bring in another prospect.

Swampnuts Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I agree with kwolf. Green could rise up and steal this job if Suggs has his usual nagging injuries. He's been the best back in the first two preseason games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 (edited) Who's Crommel? Is he the brother of Krom ? Edited August 22, 2005 by Caveman_Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because he was DEFENSIVE co-ordinator. That said, a look at Browns' offensive coordinator Maurice Carthon shows he learned under Parcells - a fellow who likes to get a horse and ride him as far as he goes (Joe Morris, Ottis Anderson, Curtis Martin), so the tendency against RBBC does hold. Good post, very informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My RB4 is not even a starter (M Moore) and I wouldn't ditch him for any of these schleps. Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcoltfan Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Great! I need Sugss in week 3 for BYE week filler. Will he be back by then?? Cleveland Homers?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Great! I need Sugss in week 3 for BYE week filler. 942746[/snapback] The ankle sprain is supposedly mild and should only keep him off the field for a coupla' weeks. Problem is, this Coaching staff has zero loyalty to these guys. There is no guarantee Suggs gets the #1 RB gig back when healthy. With a good showing the next two pre-season games, by either Green or Droughns, one or the other of them just might outright take the job away from Suggs.

The Waterboy Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I don't know, "high ankle sprain" is usually a pretty tough injury to heal, isn't it? Doesn't it take a couple months of compelte rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 IIRC, "high ankle sprain" is Latin for "won't be at 100% for most of the season." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac_intimidators Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I WOULD stay clear away from either of them if possible or you maybe at your decision later in draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
