Paul Morrissey was our guest on this
week’s show. As a Giants fan, Paul was somewhat impressed
by the Cowboys’ performance in week
one, however he is nowhere near sold on Tony
Romo. Listen to the show for some hilarious insight.
We’re still at the
point where your starters are your starters, barring injury of course. For week
2, if you do have a sit or start dilemma, go with the guy who has the better
surrounding talent. This especially true of QBs and WRs. A RB can have a solid
game no matter who hands him the ball, but once that ball is in the air you
have to have some rapport.
It should also be
noted that this post is going up early (Friday). Busy weekend ahead. Last night
the Packers thumped the Bears. It was largely due to an
incredible defensive performance by Green Bay, who sacked Bears QB Jay Cutler 7
times (!) and picked him off 4 times. The Packers’s D was likely inspired by
Cutler’s comments earlier in the week, in which he dared the Green Bay D to get
physical with the Bears’ WRs. Well done, Jay! Never underestimate so-called “bulletin
board” comments.
Some news of note as
you look at your match-ups.
RB Ryan Mathews has been practicing more,
but at this point it is unclear as to whether or not he will start, or see any
playing time this week. Ronnie Brown,
his back-up, is an o.k. option.
RB Trent Richardson is mad, and wants to
take it out on the Bengals. We’ll
see. On the other side of the ball, the Browns
could have a decent defensive game against the Bengals.
How about the Ravens offense? We all knew about Ray Rice and the receiving core looked
good last year, but they seem to be playing at a higher level now, which also
let’s their defense rest a bit.
Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas (no kin to original
Dolphins investor, TV personality Danny
Thomas) sat out practice Thursday. Speculation is we could see RB Lamar Miller Sunday. Check the injury
report arouns 12:30 EDT Sunday. Reggie
Bush should still get the bulk of the carries in either case.
Again, if you had a
starter disappoint last year, and he doesn’t have a history of being “streaky,”
stick with him. After this week, we should have a good idea of where NFL teams
are as far as overall offense and defense, and that in turn will make it
easier, or more anguishing, to compare match-ups.
