Joebirds55 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 W what's going on in Philly do people expect him to play again this year? Worth dropping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceplant Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I think he'll be named the starter when he comes back in a week or two. I also think Brown has bought himself a couple more touches per game, which decreases McCoy's value. Not the greatest FF situation. I currently have both guys, but may have a tough decision to make during FF playoffs when Philly starts making depth decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJV Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Don't be surprised with all the crap happening in Philly, to see McCoy hit the IR. As of yesterday, he still hasn't passed stage 1 of the concussion tests and there are 4 stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) thats insane +1 can I play???? It may not be insane at all depending upon the league. Our office league has extraordinarily tight rosters - start 9 including 1 LB, mandatory TE, and only 6 bench spots. Now that the trade deadline has passed and teams are fighting for playoff spots (9 teams still in contention), there are some teams that simply can't afford to carry dead weight for even a couple of weeks - and now they can't trade it away either. I've been able to pick up Nicks and Garcon on waivers during the season because I've been lucky enough to have a pretty stable group of starters (though I'm currently carrying Gronkowski as dead weight right now for obvious reasons). Other teams just didn't have the roster space to wait out their injuries. In a league like that, it's entirely possible that a team would swap out Brown for McCoy if their playoffs lives were on the line.

Joebirds55 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah "that's insane" and "can I join"...first off its not a keeper league. Secondly, every single point above is spot on. Why would the eagles risk further injury to their stud rb? And yes my league is tight on roster spots. 5rb max. Guy who dropped him is on the bubble. Don't blame him for doing so....which led me to my question...do I pick him up? I basically answered my own question, he's not likely to play again.

dougsul Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Although I agree, there is no reason to risk him; teams do it all the time. A P got hurt at the end of last season in a meaningless game. As a coach that knows he is coming back next year (not all in this boat though) I would significantly limit the play of my most valuable starters, no matter what the fans think.

TRU SOLDJA 22 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Limited to 10 transactions a year in a league. Would you use your last move to acquire Brown? What if this is his last start.. When do you think they would announce that Mccoy is done for year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRU SOLDJA 22 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Jesus. What happens if you have injuries and are out of transactions? No joke!! last year i ran through them.. this year i have also ran through them but am saving 1.. it definitely adds a twist to it that i dont care for but its local and alot of fun Soo burn my last transaction on Brown is the question?? wrong forum i know,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 If I were McCoy, I'd keep failing the concussion testing on purpose. That awful o-line + rookie QB = defenses keying on McCoy and nowhere to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJV Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Looks like Bryce Brown did just fine last week. This is what scares me as a Eagles fan. Why couldn't McCoy do this well when he had the touches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Looks like Bryce Brown did just fine last week. Uh....something tells me the defense wasn't "keying" on Bryce Brown the way they would on McCoy....Brown hasn't really earned "8-men-in-the-box" respect yet.

Grogansghost Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Soo burn my last transaction on Brown is the question?? wrong forum i know,, Tough to answer not knowing your team, but I would if you're just saving that last spot to cover injury. There aren't that many weeks left. I don't think you'll get another shot at an RB who has a chance to get the majority of the carries. Sure it's risky - you only have 1 move - McCoy could come back - people weren't keying on Brown - he fumbled a bunch - etc. But I just don't see anyone coming along in the next month who has his potential upside. At some point you have to take a risk. Brown seems to have a potential ceiling to justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekerrick Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I feel awful for McCoy. He is a amazing RB, one of the best in the NFL right now. Then I saw some stat that said since 2009 McCoy has gotten over 20 touches just 11 times. 11 is pathetic. He should be getting 20+ every game especially with the way Vick is playing. I think Reid is an idiot. At least Crennel listened when people asked why Charles was getting crap touches. Anyways, the Eagles suck this year and have no reason to bring him back. He will stay out. There goes my #1 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 McCoy is obviously the second best Rb on his team. Brown is a very decisive runner. He has energized the team and there is no way to sit him down this year for McCoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I would dare say that Brown is the closest thing to the Adrian style of playing the position in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
