Title: doggie needs wr. assist.
Post by Brian Griese,s Dog on Nov 9^th, 2002, 4:33pm

Need to win to keep pace for a wild card slot. I hired Streets and put him in my line. My second wr. options are: Tim Brown vs. Den( he has owned the donkies for the last few years,sorry Steg), T. Taylor vs. Da Bungels(he has been productive with Blake or Hiney Ward vs. Atl. def. I don't want to bark up the wrong tree here so any advice would be appreciated.

This is a tough one, but I would go w/ Brown. The Broncos are great at stopping the run and the Raiders will have to air it out to keep up. The season is on the line for Oakland and I expect Brown to play well after last weeks pathetic showing. Good luck.

gut tells me Taylor. The hook-up you mentioned is on a bit of a roll. I think the roll continues

Real toss up. I just keep thinking that Brown is still a contender for the top 10 WRs. The Raiders and Doncos have had some shootouts. I think I'd go with Brown.

I think I'd go with Brown too. Just because it's Monday night, big game vs an arch rival. Brown will rise to the occasion as most veterans do. ;)

If all else fails go with the Monday nite guy theory. Keeps you opponent on edge maximum time and gives you a reason to [smiley=alcoholic.gif] to calm your nerves. Or in your case an excuse to gnaw on a bone to calm your nerves. [smiley=firinback.gif]

Nice options to have this week. I'd go with Ward. Brown is very inconsistent, and I have to believe that Cincy will focus on Travis Taylor since he's had a couple of big weeks in a row. With Pitt, both Ward or Burress could have the better day, but Ward always gets lots of looks, and could easily grab 1 or 2 TDs.

Like ColaSteeler said, Cincy will be focusing on Taylor because he is the main target for Blake. Yes, I did say Cincy, so that shouldn't slow Taylor down. He would be a decent option.

Also, as ColaSteeler said (with a hint of bias in his post - I could just barely hear it), Ward is still getting plenty of looks. But Maddox has shown that he will go to Burress for the big play.

So, I think you need to go with Tim Brown. Denver should score early and often against Oakland, so Oakland will be going to the air to play catch-up.
