lmsaus Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 (and they said he was done) 1092512[/snapback] He's much better when you have Bettis more involved like he has been today. Both have been used to change the pace and it's been effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerFanX Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hopefully a solid showing will up his trade value. I have been looking to unload him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hopefully a solid showing will up his trade value. I have been looking to unload him. 1092522[/snapback] In a re-draft league, it might be a good time to move him, although, I think he has some more long TD's in him, but in a keeper league, he may have some real solid value. Bettis is retiring after this year, and I really don't know if Duce will be back with the amound of money he is making, so Parker might be all alone there next year.

BiPolarBear Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Fast Willie was lookin' good and getting the TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 All the gnashing of teeth over his 50 yd effort last week ignored the fact that he had 20+ carries and Bettis had 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooknladder Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I have believed Willie was the real deal all year and I still think so. I'm not overly concerned with the Bus taking some carries and TD's away...alot of backs thrive in that set up.(Dunn,Barber etc...) Duce Staley has always sucked and is no threat. Willie may even have some keeper potential on a very strong rushing team like the Steelers. He's actually my fourth RB and I'm not trading him yet,...-he'll be a real nice fill- in if someone goes down with a injury...-and the way things are going this year...

LooGie Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'm pretty excited for him. something like 131 yds right? I figured he'd get those break-away TDs, but didn't expect him to be able to do that. I traded him the week of the Bus return, but still, i like to know that I didn't totally screw my father in law in the trade ps. the trade was Collins and Parker for Shaun Alexander...i still feel bad.

Did them right on the Doug Gabriel sleeper recommendation, and telling them to stick with TJones against Balt. And if Rhodes had punched one in I would have been dead-on (50-70 and a TD).

So, do you guys think the PITT RB situation is becoming: Start Willie against bad defenses, Bus against good ones? Hate to be flipping a coin every week.

So, do you guys think the PITT RB situation is becoming: Start Willie against bad defenses, Bus against good ones? Hate to be flipping a coin every week. 1093834[/snapback] I had that scenario just yesterday in my local. I had to pair up Willie or Tiki with Edge. I went with Willie because Tiki faced a pretty good Denver run Def. (he still had a pretty good day) or Willie against a suspect Bengals def. Both Parker and Barber haven't been doing squat for the past 2 weeks so I played Willie against the weaker def. Luckily it played out. The Steelers want to run the ball as much as possible no matter who they play. The problem lies in the fact if your expecting TD's from Parker, your gonna have to hope he can score from the 10 and beyond like yesterday.
