Where's the Julius Jones talk?

[scuba chuck]

There is so much Mike Bell discussion (some guy even posted he was considering the starting lineup of the 2 headed Bell monster - good grief), that it seems an interesting situation is brewing in Jacksonville tomorrow. Forgive me if I already missed the chat, but I did search the first 3 pages before posting.

 

In case no one knows, Jacksonville is a top defense against the run.

 

*******News Flash********** (insert simulated ticker tape sound here)

--DT Marcus Stroud suffered a major ankle injury Wednesday that will sideline him for the Dallas game Sunday and could sideline him for several weeks.

 

--MLB Mike Peterson returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with a sprained MCL. The Jaguars aren't certain if he'll play.

 

*******End**********

 

This scenario turns the Jones situation into some upside that didn't exist before. It hurts a run stopping team when a couple of their Pro Bowlers are riding the pine....

 

So here's my question. How do you rate Julius as a starter for Week 1? Over or under the following players? (cut and paste from below)

 

Julius Jones vs Mike Bell

Julius Jones vs Frank Gore

Julius Jones vs Chester Taylor

Julius Jones vs Kevin Jones

Julius Jones vs Brian Westbrook

Julius Jones vs Lamont Jordan

Julius Jones vs Willis McGahee

Julius Jones vs Thomas Jones

Julius Jones vs Corey Dillon

[Doc Holliday]

Julius Jones vs Mike Bell U

Julius Jones vs Frank Gore U

Julius Jones vs Chester Taylor U

Julius Jones vs Kevin Jones O

Julius Jones vs Brian Westbrook U

Julius Jones vs Lamont Jordan U

Julius Jones vs Willis McGahee U

Julius Jones vs Thomas Jones U

Julius Jones vs Chester Taylor U

Julius Jones vs Kevin Jones O

Julius Jones vs Brian Westbrook U

LOL, was your opinion the same before the known injuries?

Interesting. You have him rated over Westbrook, who I have rated over Jordan, McGahee, and Dillon (haven't thought about Thomas Jones).

 

Edit: Note this is for week 1 results.

As it turns out, there isn't much week to week strategy talk on this forum.

 

I guess not being able to have the foresight into understanding how ineffective defenses are without their studs.

 

Julius just has 9 carries for 36 yards and a TD, and 1 reception for 36 yards. Oh, and that's just at halftime.
