Danny Zuko Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 His point totals are real low each week. Are his numbers due to get better or stay the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 His point totals are real low each week. Are his numbers due to get better or stay the same? He is infinitely better if you get points for receptions. He's competing for carries with his quarterback, so he'll flash greatness, then have weeks with 5 yards. He's as spotty as Grease is gay.

Really? he hasnt been catching the ball at all this season...only 4 receptions in 4 games, that is why i am trying to trade him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Zuko Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 The only think he can catch is a cold. I could swap him for McAlister in a deal and I figured even if though his numbers were down he is more likely to get carries. P.S. You are cruisin for a bruisin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiea Sparks Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 My guess would be his numbers will remain about the same. They have plugged in Jerious Norwood and he is stealing quite a few carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rellen13 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I figure he'll lose a bunch of yards, catches, and TDs due to Vick and Norwood. I was able to trade him for T. Jones and Buckhalter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be no surprises with Dunn. He will put up the yardage on a consistent basis with the occasional TD.

rattsass Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 GREAT analysis. I agree. With Dunn you get solid points every week with the occasional great game. He is not a guy that is going to carry your team with Norwood getting inthe mix, but most people that drafted him knew what they were getting when they drafted him. He will put up some nice games along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood has the goods to flat out replace Dunn if the coaches saw fit to go that route, and at the very least you'll see him worked into the game plan considerably more than you saw Duckett in year's past. I would be very wary to be a Dunn owner this year, especially the 2nd half of the year. Obviously this all just my opinion, but an educated one.

Aiea Sparks Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I agree with CR, comparing Norwood to Duckett is wrong. Norwood is the heir apparent to Dunn, whereas Duckett was a short yardage and change of pace option. I'm not saying Dunn won't remain the primary back, but don't be surprised to see Norwood on the field more and more. That said if Atlanta keeps having the success they are then both players will be productive all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Took a flyer on him this year for the first time. Wish I had taken a flying leap instead... ? I thought "took a flyer" implied you drafted him (relatively) late given his commonly perceived value. His results so far have been mixed with 2 good weeks and 2 bad ones. I wouldn't freak just yet. The only think he can catch is a cold.I have to wonder. He was a legit receiving threat earlier in his career but has really tapered off.....is it because he just can't catch anymore or the scheme...or oh btw a QB who isn't shall we say the purest passer in the whole wide world.... I got Dunn cheaply in my auction draft last year and while he wasn't amazing, he was extremely consistent week after week. Amazingly got him cheaply this year too but due to even more amazing RB depth he's sitting. Admittedly maybe just as well and wish I'd traded him after week 2, but I'm not exactly upset about having a guy like that in the wings.

uggabugga Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I see Norwood getting more and more carries. I can't imagine Dunn getting close to 1,500 yards. And he certainly won't get the receptions he's used to since the Falcons have finally figured out that Vick's best pass is a handoff.

Or something else? He can certainly chime in with his own answer, but being of the same mind-set, I would say it's more a gut feeling than statistical data to date. Norwood appears to have the talent to be an excellent back and my gut tells me a player with his ability will be on the field more and more as the season progresses.

Norwood appears to have the talent to be an excellent back and my gut tells me a player with his ability will be on the field more and more as the season progresses. fwiw I agree that norwood is the future in ATL but I dont know how much more he is gonna cut into Dunns stats then duckett did... duckett last yr had 121 carries in 14 games which was the equivalent of 8.6carries/game norwood so far has a 6.5carry/game avg. and if you look at that even closer you will see that 19 of his 26 carries came in 2 blow outs during mop up time...but in a game that ATL was getting blown out in he saw all of 1 carry and then in what was an easy win in zona he saw 6 carries(3 in their next to last series(the last series was QB kneel downs) when they were up 32-10, 2 of his other carries came when they were up 29-10) and his 78yard touchdown run was on the falcons 1st poss. of the 4th quarter(atl was up 22-10 at that point) so what I see is a team giving a rook carries to get him acclimated when there isnt anything on the line. Do I think his carries will mainly be garbage time carries this yr? NO i dont. Do I think he is gonna dramatically eat into Dunns carries this yr? NO I don't oh and fwiw, the fact that duckett is gone and atl doesnt have what you would call a GL back now could help Dunn(but I would expect vick to still steal some of those TDs) i do understand the view that some have I just wanted to expand upon why I dont think norwood is gonna be the "thief" that some think he will be and fwiw I do think the kid is a terrific talent and gonna be a major asset for ATL in the future Edited October 13, 2006 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
