Los Gigantes Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 With atlanta having nothing to play for, how much will this cut into Dunn's production against a suspect NO defense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 do they even have others backs to rest him? 629728[/snapback] The Falcons brought Jason Wright up from their practice squad before last weeks game against the Panthers. In a close game the Falcons needed to win, to lock up a 1st round bye, Wright was in on several series. I suspect Mora was getting Wright some game experience in anticipation of a win against Carolina and to prepare Wright for a larger role this week. From RotoWire: Coach Jim Mora indicated that rookie Jason Wright, signed last week off the practice squad, could see a lot of snaps against the Saints on Sunday so that Atlanta can preserve Dunn, the Associated Press reports. With the Falcons' playoff fate sealed, Dunn becomes one of those tricky players who could see less than his normal workload on Sunday.

Brentastic Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I had a feeling that Dunn would get a receiving TD this week (my league rewards 12 points for this!) and now, it looks like I must bench him. The end of the year always f***s with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Can someone ease my pain and make my decision for me? I need to start 2 of these three: Bettis, J. Jones, Dunn. Dunn has the best matchup and it looks like I have to bench him. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Sorry for sneaking a WDIS into this thread.

Buffalo4 Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I'm starting Dunn and I don't question that decision. I believe he will have a big game and he will not be rested. But now that I really think about it I don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 This was the best I could find, so you read into it what you will. Full article is on the Falcon's web site if you want to read it: Jim Mora has indicated several times that maintaining the momentum is critical and the Falcons are preparing that way again this week. The preparation has been different because of the injuries facing Mora and his staff. After Thursday's workout, both QB Michael Vick and TE Alge Crumpler were listed as questionable for the game after not practicing for a second straight day. If Vick is unable to go then the snaps will fall to rookie Matt Schaub. That would be a pretty good Christmas present come to think of it for Schaub, who showed plenty of potential in his pre-season work. Warrick Dunn would spearhead the running game again. Dunn notched his second straight 100-yard game against the Panthers and would be called on again to carry the load of it again this week.
