CSA81 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I know there was another thread on this, but it really wasnt to much of a thread about the subject. I just want to see if any other PT owners are a little nervous moving forward? Please share your thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rai Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think maybe we need a whole other forum just for PT owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) There are actually a lot of threads on this subject dating back to preseason. Most of which address this situation. Here's the link FWIW, I would start him, but not expect a huge game mostly because of who they are playing.

I was really trying to have decent discussion on the status of the situation in NO recently, since the latest two were somewhat hijacked. I knew they were gonna split carries and such, but just wanted to talk with some PT owners about it. I didn't really need advice, since I was starting him anyway (but I appriciate it tho) just wanted a convo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I think maybe we need a whole other forum just for PT owners Maybe we could piggy-back on the upcoming "Favre sucks" forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Payton knows PT is more talented than Bell and will take advantage of that IMO. I'm not real worried about the split in carries, as I doubt it will be anywhere close to 50/50. And with the way that offense can stretch the field there's usu plenty of running room. As for this week, yeah its the Giants, but that D gives up a rushing ave of over 4 yards/carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYALWITCHEESE Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Thomas is far better than Bell, and when he is healthy the numbers will show that. I just dealt for him the day (prior to the injury designation) with that in mind. I think he will put up really good number from here on out, but with the mystery surrounding just how much the hamstring will limit him and the Giants as the opponent, I am erring on the side of caution. I would advise this if you have another comparable option for the week. I do (Grant vs Lions), but I know everyone doesn't have that luxury. I think he gets 15-20 touches, but against the Giants what will he do with them? I don't have that answer...

I have Slaton, Thomas Jones, Ray Rice and Pierre. Of those I like Rice and TJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Fan Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I think maybe we need a whole other forum just for PT owners It would be placed right next to the "Portis is a turd" forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhoops Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 It would be placed right next to the "Portis is a turd" forum. and is this the week LT actually performs. I have PT and am starting him with confindence.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Muto Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 If Bell scores this TD this place could go wild a 2nd TD on 1st and goal at the 1 assuming they call Colston down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 It is very disturbing to see Mike Bell in the game at the goal line again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine isn't too high...I have P-Thomas and Bell both in a few leagues I just may start both of them every week from now on. I can't take the pain anymore.

Mine isn't too high...I have P-Thomas and Bell both in a few leagues I just may start both of them every week from now on. I can't take the pain anymore. Looking at the box score it may seem that way, but the reality is that aside from a couple short-yardage carries, PT had all the carries when the game was semi-close. Bell and Bush did their damage when the game was out of reach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
