Starter decisions...
« on: Nov 22nd, 2002, 4:08pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
Two really tough calls to make this week, and it's one and out for me this week.
 
Dillon vs. Pittsburgh (yuck)
Taylor vs. Dallas (double yuck)
 
I'm leaning towards Dillon here, even though he plays against a very tough Steeler D.  Taylor is also going up a tough run D, but on top of that he is splitting time with Mack and losing carries at the goalline.
 
Burress vs. Cincy
Toomer vs. Houston
 
Burress would normally be a no-brainer here, but Kordell scares the crap out of me.  Out of 20 attempts he threw last week, he only tossed one in Burress's direction.  That isn't good.  Burress DID have a good game against Cincy earlier in the year, but if Barnaby's predictions hold up for Toomer, maybe Toomer is the better start.
 
I think that the Houston pass defense is a little better than Barnaby predicts, so I'm leaning toward Burress here.
 
Thoughts, my comrades?

I'd go with Dillon at RB.  (Get this, I actually think the Bungles could win this game!)
 
 
I'd also go with Toomer at WR.  He has a healthy QB and the Giants should be able to put up some points against the expansionites.

I'm in a similar situation with Burress.  Kordell scares the hell out of me, and I am seriously thinking about benching Plax.  If I had Toomer this week, I would start him over Burress.
 
Modify to reply for your RBs.........I'd go with Dillon.  Even though Pitt has had a good run-D, I think Cincy might go with the 4 and 5 WR set that screwed Pitt to begin with, and that will open up the lanes for Dillon.

Gotta go Dillon, that Dallas D is no joke. Dillon, while not having the monster games of season past, is actually beginning to show real signs of consistency.
 
Cockey, er Shockey, is probably gonna roll on Houston. That's gonna cut in on Toomers opps, and there has yet to be a game where Toomer and Shockey scored big. One or the other, but not yet both.
 
Burress made his name known last year when Kordella was the only qb throwin'. I feel your pain, as I have to start Burress myself, but ther is at least a history of the two hooking up for good numbers in the past.

Dillon and Toomer.
 
Toomer is the go to guy. Dillon is the lesser of the two

Dallas is ranked #1 in the NFL, allowing only 3 rushing TD's all season. (Pittsburg has given up 11) I'd go with Dillon.
 
The Giants know the "break" they've been given and will be focused this week against the lowly Texans. Toomer will get his #'s

Short, simple and I agree wholeheartedly!
