slicker Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 My league allows 2 protected players from last season. LT is #1. I have to choose between TO and Steven Jackson. I have been going back and forth. All preseason polls have Jackson as the better pick. I like both but have considered TO over Jackson because the Cowboys appear to be a better team than the Rams. There is a lot of talk about how the Rams are going to run. Yet I think they are going to pass just because they appear to be a lousy team based on how their defense played last year. I think they will be behind alot. The Cowboys meanwhile are talking Super Bowl. Is Steven Jackson getting a lot of pre-season hype that shouldn't be? Your thoughts are welcome. I'll reply to your messages also. Thanks for any advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only got 20+ carries 5 times last year. The Rams were 5-0 in those games. He is a huge guy but deceptively fast and runs right over d-backs. The Rams will still pass but SJacks will also catch a lot of passes too. If you have LT and SJacks you can't go wrong IMO. T.O is great too but it will take a little time to develop chemistry with Bledsoe. Bledsoe is not very mobile and T.O will not be as big because of that. Instead of 16 tds he may only get 10 or 11 and 1200yds. SJacks will have around 1500 yds and 12-15 tds IMO. So it's obvious who I think is the better choice. Check out my sig.
