SaintsFanUnfortunately Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Rhodes gets probably 70 total yards and a score, Maroney gets a few more yards maybe 90 but not sure if he will score. I am leaning toward Rhodes but I believe Maroney has more upside but maybe it is just a bit too early to play him. What say you? Maroney or Rhodes?

Avernus Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'd go with Maroney...better talent with at least as many touches as Rhodes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousDave Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I like Rhodes, and I'm starting him as well. The matchup against Houston is great, and there was chatter coming out of Indy this week about how they are going to improve their running game this week.

Teatime_Ninjas Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Here's the thing... Houston won't be much of a threat, but Rhodes will have to do his damage earlier in the game. I think if Indy gets out to a big lead (very possible) Addai will do more running... the Colts know what they have in Rhodes, but they have yet to see Addai in real extensive action. I see Addai being the better play out of those two... So, I'm thinking taking a chance on Maroney... the same situation applies in the Patriots-Jets game, and again, the Pats know what they have in Dillon, so I think if there's garbage time, Maroney gets those carries.

broncosn05 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Maroney. Addai put up pretty much equal rush yards to Rhodes last week with 9 less attempts. Maroney is the one taking the spot in NE. He's very explosive and was an injury risk last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupydog Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I vote Rhodes. I'd rather go with the Colts offense over the Pats offense any day. Plus I get the feeling they'll use Dillon at the goaline over Maroney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onbrake Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 If the Colt game get out of hand early Rhodes is there pound up the gut guy not addai.Rhodes will see 20 touches close to 100 yrds and 1 TD.Addai will be watching from the bench.

SaintsFanUnfortunately Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think I am going to roll the dice with Rhodes. That is who I played last week and he was the only one of the 3 that scored a TD. On short yardage at the goal line, he actualy misread a block on a sweep to the right that he would have scored on easily if he had cut inside. But I was encouraged that on the very next play the Colts gave him the ball straight up the middle for the score. I am hoping that he can get 20 carries and catches 3-4 passes out of the backfield. The Colts should be ahead most of the day and not too worried about the game in hand. Carr will be on his back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsFanUnfortunately Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) It looks like Rhodes was the worst play of the three. He looks pathetic. He has no burst and looks unsure of himself. I will go with either Addai or Maroney or a WR as my wildcard the rest of the year.
