ced1001 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 He performed pretty well last week in the abscense of Arrington and I just read in the SI Rumor Central that Deni's hinting he'll maintain keep the role of feature back for to time being. Two years ago, he put up good numbers. Does this guy have any value in AZ's new offense? Think he's worth a waiver claim? (if you couldn't tell, I got RB issues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mano22 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 He is DEFINATELY worth a waiver claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I don't see it as of yet... They spent an early second round pick on Arrington, who has only played in the Giants game... Everyone in that rush offense looked putrid that week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Remember Thomas Jones? This happens often in Arizona, but the real problem there is line blocking. Sure he's worth a pickup, but Arrington could be in the lineup before long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jag264 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Agreed, he is worth a waiver claim. I have one in for him. Could be a useful flex as the season rolls on. Don't give up too much for him though. I'm dropping Tatum Bell to try and get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I'm putting in a waiver claim for him, dropping Faulk so nothing really lost if I get Shipp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Short/mid term pick up at best. If ARZ continues to lose, they'll play JJ, and even if they begin to win, they'll still get him in the mix eventually. If you need help for the next few weeks, it could be a solid pick up IMO.

bok_choy Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If they were so high on Shipp they wouldnt have brought in Emmitt last year and drafted Arrington this year... You cant expect the world outta the rook this early with the crap OLine they have.... I would pick up Shipp if you had room (esp if u have Arrington).... I think he will turn into a real player by mid-season ala KJones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 JJ Arrington has been compared to Michael Bennett. That doesn’t give me much confidence although I like JJ better. Fortunately I have them both…or is that unfortunately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) I like Shipp, too. However, just temper your expectations. Arrington has only had one bad "real" game. (Though following that up with a lame-ass excuse for not coming to work was certainly poor form). And keep these two things in mind: (1) Shipp didn't exactly set things on fire last week; and (2) starting center Alex Stepanovich played in Week 2, but did not play in Week 1. Gee, I wonder if having a your starting center in the line up might make a difference to a running back's production? For example: - Shipp's ypc in week 1: 1.4 - Shipp's ypc in week 2: 4.5 What a difference an O-line can make.

Kung-fu Midgets Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Remember Thomas Jones? This happens often in Arizona, but the real problem there is line blocking. Sure he's worth a pickup, but Arrington could be in the lineup before long. 1005357[/snapback] As an AZ homer... it really doesn't matter right now if it's Shipp or Arrington starting. Neither are going to do very well until they fix their O-line problems. When you're facing 300 lb defensive linemen in the backfield before you get going... doesn't matter who you are... you're screwed. So...Shipp might get more carries as the starter for the next few weeks (if he indeed does start) but I wouldn't expect much in terms of production...
