The Answer Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 ESPN CONFIRMING STALEY WON'T PLAY... .Written By Senior NFL Analyst Bob Harris | Posted Saturday December 18, 2004 @ 08:42 PT ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, reporting live from Giants Stadium, just advised "NFL Countdown" viewers what we've suspected since late this week will indeed come to pass: Duce Staley won't play against the Giants this morning. As noted in a previous update, Staley said his injury is about 80 percent healed and won't fully recover until after the season. Jerome Bettis will start and handle a vast majority of the workload in Staley's absence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighKite Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Bettis should do excellent ..in my opinion he is better than Staley anyways and should be the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the weather and with Eli I think the steelers will get a short field often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I think Bettis will do very well. Keep in mind that the Giants have allowed an average of 183.2 yards rushing the past four games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Answer Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 I ll take 183 and two TD's 618675[/snapback] its a case of proven vs unproven (starting) I need the safe play this week. Bus should be good for about 15-20 points LJ should be 10-30 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerFanX Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I need the wheels to fall off the bus since I am playing aainst him in two different leagues. I will be happy if the Giants can keep him out of the endzone. So far so good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
