tough Bench'em call.   Rudi-Taylor-Rhodes?
« on: Sep 24th, 2004, 3:04pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
I'm pretty loaded at RB in this league:
 
Fred Taylor
Quentin Griffin
Rudi Johnson
Ahman Green
Dominic Rhodes
 
Green is a lock to start.   Griffin is as close to a lock as possible IMO.  That said, with Taylor @TEN and Rudi vs BAL, should I start Rhodes vs GB?   I just read Edge may go this week after all, so it may be a moot point; however, if Edge doesn't go, would you start Rhodes?  Or start Taylor, who has a good history vs TEN, and TEN gave up some yards to Edge last week.
 
Thanks!

I'd definitely go with Ahman and Q.
 
Then, play it safe and go with Fred.  He'll do well enough against a defense that is good, but not great.  They've got all sorts of injuries, so they're weakened.
 
Don't go with Rhodes unless you're 100% sure that Edge won't play at all.
 
Rudi is a tough choice this week against the Ravens (unfortunately I've got Edge and Rudi as my #1 and #2 in my money league, so I've got a real dilemma...)

I would bench Rudi if at all possible.  He's playing the best D in the league with a great rush D.  On top of that is the fact that the CIN O line has not done well (I'm being generous) and is not all that healthy.

I have to agree with the analysis already offered.
 
Sit Rudi.    Decision based purely on the defensive match-up.
 
Sit Rhodes.    Edge practiced Thursday and Friday and should play.  It has been reported that Edge will be on some sort of "play count" but will still dilute the carries Rhodes should have had if Edge were out.
 
Start Taylor.    Even though TEN has a respectable defense, Taylor will get his #'s.
 
IF it is reported that Edge is out I would defer to the following:
 
Rhodes
Taylor
Johnson
 
Good Luck!

I agree with the others above. Green, Q, and Taylor are the best options.
