Guest ksu70 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 My Rb's are Edge, Rudi, C. Perry and Ronnie. Edge and Rudi will be my backs for the rest of the year. Is it time to start thinking about picking up Dominic Rhodes to handcuff Edge and drop Ronnie? I am a little worried about Edge taking a seat on the bench for some portion of the playoffs. Need some advice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) Yes, it is time to start thinking about picking up Rhodes, but I wouldnt drop Brown. Edited November 28, 2005 by Gdawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinersIn2006! Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 HELL YES!! Drop Ronnie in place of Dominick Rhodes...you will never play Ronnie, but your concerns with Edge are VERY valid...infact, he is the most likely guy to sit if the Colts clinch homefield...Dungy has already hinted he would sit some of his key guys, and Edge is the one that takes the most pounding... I'm surprised the Dominick Rhodes is still available... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean I would have to drop Perry since I have to keep four RB's. I have Perry because Rudi always seems to have a nagging leg issue that keeps him out of practice once a week. Would you drop Perry then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinersIn2006! Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I was about to agree with G-dawg and say drop Perry instead of Ronnie, but that point you just made about Rudi is reasonable... keep two RB's from each team, as insurance... I'm assuming you only start two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splotchman Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I would drop Brown and pickup Rhodes. Keep Perry as the backup for Rudi. You should then be all set for the playoffs. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Tough call, too bad you have to carry TWO TEs and TWO kickers. Perry is your handcuff for Rudi, Rhodes for James. Yeah, you might have to drop Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you only start two... 1177847[/snapback] I guess the way I should look at it is let's have the backfields of two of the most prolific offenses in the league. One way or another, somebody is going to start in the backfield and it might as well be a Bengal or a Colt. If Rudi goes down, I have a potential stud there, if Edge sits D. Rhodes can vulture away in the redzone. Ronnie is great but he seems destined for 14 touches, 60 yards and maybe an occasional TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
