theeohiostate Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'd go with Parker and Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanson Brothers Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'd go with Parker and Bell. Sorry Grits, missread your message. 1. Parker; with a (for now) supporting coach behind him 2. Fragile Freddie (before he get’s injured...4th quarter) Bell has to many bells around him and ? marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'd start FWP for sure so he shouldn't even be mentioned. As for the other one Taylor against that Dall D doesn't inspire me. And while Shanny is always playing around in Denver I think MBell will be his guy especially in GL situations. So I bench Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Parker and Taylor for me. Everyone who is starting M.Bell is going to feel like they got slapped in the face when Tatum is eating away at his carries throughout that game.

tomfin2000 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I would bench Taylor. I'm a Jags homer and I saw nothing during the preseason to convince me that we won't be seeing the same Fred Taylor and the same Jags offense that we've seen the past two seasons. Personally, I would rather roll the dice on Mike Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsfan26 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I agree with the above bench Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Well I started Parker last night and he did well ... it would have been sweeter had Sabin got his challenge in on time and then FWP ran in a TD though. So now it is between MBell and FTaylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonKnight Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Well I started Parker last night and he did well ... it would have been sweeter had Sabin got his challenge in on time and then FWP ran in a TD though. So now it is between MBell and FTaylor I'd go with Taylor @ home. Proven starter with little rbbc concern at home. I'd take a "wait and see" approach on any Denver RB game 1.

Pirate lookin' at 40 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Well I started Parker last night and he did well ... it would have been sweeter had Sabin got his challenge in on time and then FWP ran in a TD though. So now it is between MBell and FTaylor I started Parker as well, and could have slapped Sabin for his half hearted effort to challenge that play. Personally, I would be very reluctant to start Fred Taylor. I'd go with Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I am going to say Taylor. He has alot to prove and he is public about him wanting to get away from "Fragile Fred" I don't trust the denver game (last year was a mess). Tatum can get 3 TDs this week and then next week Mike Bell will get 3. Its a tough call but I think I would roll with Fred for week 1 then make my decision other weeks.

Tatum can get 3 TDs this week and then next week Mike Bell will get 3. Its a tough call but I think I would roll with Fred for week 1 then make my decision other weeks. My first thought was to bench Taylor but I did read that Fragile wants to prove that isn't an appropriate name for him. I would say go with Taylor this week and see what happens with the Bells in Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLK&GLD Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 go with fragile fred this week grits...use him while he's healthy, because it won't be long 'til you can't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 go with fragile fred this week grits...use him while he's healthy, because it won't be long 'til you can't! True. Start Freddy. He's going to get all the carries. Stay away from DEN as long as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Bell. Sharing carries against StL will be more productive than the full load against the Dallas D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gros Membres! Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I'd start the better matchup here. Both players have a lot to prove. But would who would you rather prove it against is the question? The Dallas or STL D? Personally, I would run Bell. Yes, Taylor is tempting but I would play matchup and go Bell.

Grits and Shins Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Grits...you're already jumping off the M. Bell bandwagon? No. But if I have a viable alternative I will certainly consider it. Sometimes a wait and see attitude might be prudent just in case I am wrong (just this once) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Don't start a player because he is healthy now and you have to "use him while you can." Start Mike Bell and don't worry about it. I agree with the others; even if he gets 15 touches (I am betting closer to 20, depending on if Denver is close or way behind of course), he's better off than Fragile is against the Cowboys. I started LJ, FWP and MBell this week and will not make any changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 As it turns out I should have benched MBell for Fred Taylor ... I gave up 5.6 points starting MBell over Taylor. The game is still up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
