mhorn Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I can start 2 of these LBs.

XFlash Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I did not hear Hawthorne being dinged up. I would go this order. Hawthorne Bishop Lofton Lofton could edge out Bishop if weather is bad at CHI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShiznit Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I did not hear Hawthorne being dinged up. I would go this order. Hawthorne Bishop Lofton Lofton could edge out Bishop if weather is bad at CHI. Weather should be good here in Chicago on Sunday......MFL is putting the forecast at Sunny...however....being the windy city....it will probably be a tad bit windy! That said, from memory as I have not paid that much attention this year, I would rate his LBers like this: Bishop Lofton Hawthorne While you could flip flop Hawthorne and Lofton.....Lofton is a bonified stud. Even in the years when the Tennessee offense was good and running the ball well and doing all sorts of time of possession domination.....Keith Bulluck still was a monster producer. A stud linebacker will always be a stud linebacker....unless the scheme...as keg so aptly points out....renders said stud to a position with less opportunities. That said, I would trust Lofton more than Hawthorne because he has produced.....and do a wait and see. I still think Bishop is the monster tackler of all three.

TheShiznit Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Bishop stat line: 8 solos 4 assists. Good for 20 points in my league......tackle monster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris N Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 saw this after bishop played....but i would have said bishop and hawthorne. i dont see chicago running since they'll probably be behind and barber isnt playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Bishop stat line: 8 solos 4 assists. Good for 20 points in my league......tackle monster! Bishop is a quality LB. I drafted him #6.12 in a new IDP Dynasty league this year. All the other top LBers were already off the board so I jumped on him. I think I got good value with the pick. Anyhow, back to your question. Hope you started him. I would also start Lofton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhorn Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks for all of the advice everyone. I started Bishop last night and I'm very happy I did. Right now I'm leaning towards starting Lofton since Hawthorne has been really limited in practice this week, but I'm going to wait and see what happens today before I make any final decisions.
