MrTed46 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Is it time to dump him? What are you MM owners doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm holding on to him for another week. FWP still isn't a lock to play Monday and Moore will probably get a decent amount of touches either way. At least a decent flex/PPR start.

sunysteelfly76 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm definitely hanging on to him. Unfortunately, I don't think Parker is done missing games this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In my opinion Moores value is as high as it will ever be right now. If you are trying to get something out of him then I don't think you should wait until FWP comes back and takes 3 out 4 carries away from him.

slickvick Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I am holding him.With Parker taking longer to get back than expected chances of this injury lingering are high IMO.Now if Parker comes back and plays well for a couple of weeks and there is something attractive on the wire then Mewelde can go away.

dirtdickens Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I am holding onto him, Parker could tweak himself again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBowden1220 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Definitely hanging on. If Parker gets hurt again, he becomes a solid top 15 and arguably top 10 RB for the playoff stretch. Even if he doesn't start, I think he's earned a few carries -- possibly goalline -- and has a lot more value than anybody I see on my WW.

tomfin2000 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm a Parker owner, so I'm holding onto him, but man I'm going to miss Mewelde being the Steelers every down back. Steady production at that level is hard to come by these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm not so sure I'd still bench Moore this week as I expect Parker to get worked back into the fold....but I doubt Parker will get more than 3-5 more touches than Moore, or even GL carries... just my opinion anyways...plus I expect the Steelers to try and run more....and Moore is more effective in the passing game as well...

Menudo Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) I'm not so sure I'd still bench Moore this week as I expect Parker to get worked back into the fold....but I doubt Parker will get more than 3-5 more touches than Moore, or even GL carries... just my opinion anyways...plus I expect the Steelers to try and run more....and Moore is more effective in the passing game as well... Once again, I disagree. If Parker is healthy enough to play, he will take on his full role and MM will go back to being a change of pace back. Edit to add: In addition to being the change of pace back, MM will continue his role as the 3rd down back.

I hold onto Moore as a handcuff but that is all. Parker is the starting running back. The Steelers are not going to change the way they do business just b/c the backup came in and did what he was suppose too. The Steelers have also stated they are going to involve Parker in the passing game...MM is now the 3rd down back as he was before Parkers injury...I would be very wary of staring Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm74 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Looks like Parker will spit carries this weekend, but this will not be the norm... I am going to try my best to stay away from this but all I have is Torain and Bucky to fill the spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget what Parker was doing this year before he got injured. The Steelers have been in a good position to have Parker take his time getting back to full health.

slickvick Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 What makes you think this ? Was it reported somewhere by Tomlin ? Friday 10/31, 11:37 AM CT Willie Parker won't be rushed back into the Steelers' lineup and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians stated that, "Parker is not ready to handle 50 plays," according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He has missed the past four games with a sprained knee. Our View: Parker is likely to start Monday's game at Washington, but Mewelde Moore looks to see significant playing time while he is slowly worked back in. Both backs will be risky options against the Redskins' fifth ranked run defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
