Week Eleven
The Time is NOW!
By the Grazianimal
All season we wait. We search and search and we haggle and conspire. Then it Happens! Every year a featured back spits the bit or in this case busts his paw and we can pounce. Clinton Portis has stunk all season and made many a Skin fan wince with his mediocre production, but the light has shone down on young Ladell Betts and he is available. This guy has been picking up the slack for Portis all season and to be honest Ladell has looked better then his more bally-hooed compatriot. Now here is the really good news, the Redskins still have to play all the games on their schedule, so Ladell is gonna see some work.
Washington came into the season riding high after a playoff win last year. An aging QB, Clinton Portis slowed and now out for the year with injury and a defense that regressed considerably all combined to put the season in the crap heap. Joe Gibbs has made the decision to go with Jason Campbell. Lets hope the kid is at least good enough to win the job from 55 year-old Mark Brunell. I think that Betts will show enough down the stretch that Clinton will be splitting carries next year at best. Now if my Fantasy team did not crap the bed worse then the Skins this year…
I gotta talk to you about the New Orleans Saints. How important is a QB that does not stink? Aaron Brooks for Drew Brees. It takes Reggie Bush 10 weeks to find the endzone and the Used to be ’Aints are 6 and 3. ’Nuff said.
Tom Brady has been a cornerstone QB for a while. A lot of teams depend on him without a second thought. Well it is time to put your thinking caps on. The dude has lost two in a row for the first time in forever. He is nursing a severe injury. If he wasn’t do you think that The Sweatshirt would have dusted off Vinny for this week’s rumble on the tundra. Brady is a higher risk then he first appears. He could see the pine in a blow out or get knocked out if a hit aggravates his injury. The Pack is a much better team at home in Lambeau. Sit Brady if a decent option is on your roster.
The best game of the week will be in Dallas. The Colts are rollin’ again and The Cowpokes are a whole different set of rootin’ tootin’ hombre’s with Romo at the reins. Jason Witten has returned as a must start TE with Romo passing. Mike Francessa said Witten was seeing the ball not because Romo loved him, but because the TE was actually out in passing routes instead of blocking for Bledsoe. Makes sense to me. This game is gonna be fun. You know that nobody can stop Peyton until the playoffs loom. T.O. will be present. The Colts are so bad against the run that either Dallas RB looks like a good #2 start. Pigskins will fly.
Trent Green is back in the saddle again. He took off 2 and a half months with tweety birds circling the old noggin. If he was not a superior passer then Herm would have stuck with Huard like he wanted to. This is good news for all KC offensive options. Trent gets the Raiders at home for his return. A better QB will make the field open up for LJ and LJ makes all defenses ignore the passing game. Some points should be up for grabs. Kris Wilson will be subing for Tony Gonzalez if you need a flyer TE and Samie Parker is a good option at WR if you need a WR on short notice.
Condolences to the family Schembechler.
