dickster Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Plummer on the road against Oakland. Leinart is at home against Dallas. I have Plummer penciled in but all things I read say he will have another off week. Leinart gets Fitz. back to help open things up, but hard to pull the trigger after his last two games. Any comments are appreciated.thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachharry Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I think Plummer is the better play. Oakland sucks. Dallas will be throwing everything they have on D at Leinart to shake up the rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Think about this carefully. Oakland is tough against the pass, and the Broncos will be running the ball in Oakland. Also, Rod Smith has a separated shoulder and will be limited, at best. When the Broncos last played Oakland (Week 6, 10/15/06), Plummer's stats were 11/18, 102 yds passing and 6/30 rushing, with NO TD's, and that was in Denver. I think this will be a low-scoring game with a strong emphasis on the running game, even though Tatum Bell is Questionable with Turf toe. Arizona, on the other hand, is playing at home (where they do much better), will get WR Fitzgerald back (although in a somewhat limited role), and is coming off a bye. Given the above, I'd go with Leinart, and I'm a Broncos fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yeah, OAK is actually very good vs. the pass. I'd take a chance with Leinart this week. He's a solid start at home coming off the bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickster Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks, this seemed like an easier choice after last weeks game, but the more time I have to think I am starting to lean towards Leinart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe12 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 bump I'm a Broncos fan (ok primarily a Rams fan but I married into the Broncos and am forced to cheer for them every week). I wouldn't trust Jake Plummer to have a good game if he were playing a college team! I don't care if he does have 2 solid starts in a row. As one Broncos fan said it best (seen yelling it on national television after a horrible interception a few weeks ago) "YOU SUCK JAKE!!!" You know the track record of rookie QB's but Leinart isn't necessarily typical and more importantly he doesn't suck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
