gc_2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I've got J. Garcia, S. Jackson, Gore, and M. Harrison anchoring this Super Bowl team, but am undecided on: Dayne v. Ind. or Benson @ Det. 1pt/15yds rushing/rec. 6pts/TDs ..your take? oh yeah, I also have an interesting D decision. GB v. Min and Rookie QB, Jackson in rain/sleet tonight or Buf v. Ten and Young in chance of snow or Ind. @ Hou. in Dome We DO NOT get points for sacks. Only turnovers and TDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFanMike Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'd go with Dayne at RB. Better matchup and he's not sharing carries. And with the limited defensive scoring you have, I would eliminate the Colts -- Houston will play very conservatively. I'm not which of the others I'd take -- probably GB based on the rookie QB, and the fact that the game could be a shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayne likely will share carries and Benson will likely not as early reports say TJones will sit out week 16 to rest up. I'd play Benson.

JetFanMike Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 If T. Jones isn't playing, that obviously helps Benson (although Adrian Peterson is out there too). But why do you say Dayne's likely to share carries? Last week he had 18 out of 22 Texans' carries, the week before 21 out of 30, and the week before that he had over half (including QB keepers). You gotta figure he's good for 20 carries, and against the Colts that should be good for 100 yards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ2423 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have this exact same scenario and I'm also playing for the Championship. I think Dayne maybe has less questions regarding how many carries and splitting time (no one knows what will happen with T Jones). But as bad as the Colts run D has been, is anyone else concerned that the Colts will get ahead so fast that there is no way the Texans can run the ball much? I just see this game being a blowout, and how to you run the ball 20 times when you are so far behind? At least with Benson, you have a good chance he will be the main ball carrier, and you have to assume the Bears will be ahead and try and run the ball alot. I think for those reasons, I am leaning toward Benson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc_2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 All of these are my exact concerns. I think there is one other thing to consider, and that is that Benson and Chi have nothing to play for, so how much effort will be given? At least Houston's motivations are to please the home crowd and play spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 What's not to like about any RB against the absolute worst rushing defense in the league? Kubiak is going to run the ball and that means Dayne is going to get his carries. As much as I don't like Dayne he should easily top 100 yards and get at least 1 TD this week.

irish Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I'd give Dayne a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
