Title: Need help replacing FAULK this week
Post by Mossaholic on Nov 14^th, 2002, 12:20pm

Need a RB for week 11 only as Faulk is down [smiley=downthetubes.gif]. Any help is appreciated thank you. Here are my options.

Moe Williams vs GB

Marcell Shipp @ PHI

James Mungro vs DAL

LaMont Jordon @ DET

Lamar Gordon vs CHI

James Allen vs JAX

William Green @ CIN

the worst defenses against rb in the last 3 weeks

Arizona vs RB
New England vs RB
Baltimore vs RB
Buffalo vs RB
Detroit vs RB
Philadelphia vs RB
Atlanta vs RB
Minnesota vs RB
Washington vs RB
Chicago vs RB

The best 10 defenses against rb in the last 3 weeks

Indianapolis vs RB
New York (A) vs RB
Kansas City vs RB
Pittsburgh vs RB
Dallas vs RB
Carolina vs RB
Saint Louis vs RB
Cleveland vs RB
Green Bay vs RB
Denver vs RB

That should narrow it down to Shipp, Jordon, Gordon.
of those, for a one week play, I'd take Shipp.

Not positive that Faulk is out yet, however.

I was going to add that White is out and William Green will be the number 1 back. if that changes anyone's opinion

I got this from CBS Sportsline:

Edgerrin James practiced on Wednesday. He might be available to play in Week 11. The Indianapolis Star says his right hamstring is apparently fine, but there is some concern about his damaged rib cartilage. "If he's pain-free, he'll play. If not, we'll probably wait a week. I think he's hopeful, but we're not quite sure yet," Tony Dungy said. James is listed as questionable on the injury report. Ricky Williams and James Mungro are also available to play, they might see some playing time as well.

That takes away my first choice of Mungro. My second choice would be Moe Williams followed by William Green. Good luck.

I know you're only needing the one week fix, but with Shipp you get a shot at a legit starting rb sittin' on your bench for insurance. The dude has some fumble problems to address, but if you'll recall, Portis had a 3 fumble pre-season game and has only had one since. I'm not predicting monster numbers, but he's got some very favorable match-ups coming up.

Once again, more and more it looks as if Faulk will play, so a decision may not be necessary.

I agree with what FourTwoOh wrote. Shipp is a nice pickup for the long-haul and a decent pickup for this week. Hell, if I were you, I might go ahead and pick up Shipp and roll the dice and start Faulk, anyway, as it looks like he might play. The one other guy I like from your list about as much as Shipp, and perhaps Faulk too, for this week and maybe, just maybe, for the long-haul as well, is William Green. If he is going to succeed, this week against Cincy with Jamel White out would be the time to start doing so. If he just happens to, then you got yourself a real goodie. But, don't get me wrong... I wouldn't count on it!

Just want to remind everyone that despite last weeks meltdown, the Eagles still have the #4 ranked rush defense in the league. Add that to the fact that they will be playing angry and will be playing for pride. All I have to say is:

Start Shipp at your own risk.

It's all good. ;D They are on more than a one week slide though. 134 combined to Mungro, 104 combined to A Train and 173 combined to Tiki. Only 3 td's given up over that stretch, but hardly intimidating yardage numbers. You know I got plenty of love for the Eagles, but my main point in this eval, is that Shipp remains a good play even after this week. That increases his worth in my book over the others regardless of this weeks matchup.

I'd more than likely go with Shipp as well.

I have read that William Green has looked better recently, and that he is finally grasping what his role is in the offense. That and them playing Cincinnati this week, I might take a chance on him.

Thanks for all the info [smiley=bow.gif]. I decided to pick up Gordon as it looks like the chances of Faulk playing increased everyday [smiley=greedy.gif]. I can decide between Faulk or Gordon up to 15 minutes [smiley=ontheclock.gif] before game time so that is why I went with Gordon and not someone playing on Sunday.

A little late but I just read in a Cleve. paper B. Davis is "optomistic" Green will become the feature back soon. [smiley=doh.gif]

Good move, I'm doing the exact same thing. I really thought Faulk would play but just saw he wouldn't talk about his injury. When a guy won't talk about it it usually means he won't be able to play and is pissed off because of it. Anyone remember that 98 Falcons-9ers playoff game where Hearst broke his ankle on the first play? He went to the sidelines, knew it was broken, and wouldn't let any trainers get near him while he watched the game, standing. Unreal.
