Title: Need some help on who to play at WR.
Post by goody58 on Sep 23^rd, 2003, 8:10pm

I need to start three WR's. I have h.ward ,d.driver, m.booker,c.conway and k.cambell. I'm going to start h.ward but after that.......?
I was very happy going into the season with ward,driver,booker and curtis as my WR's,now I feel like a schmuck !
Need some thoughts.

Thanks for the help !

Booker should shine in the opening of the "new soldier field". I also like Conway this week.

Hines Ward is a no-brainer.

Marty Booker could do something against a weak GB defense.

For your third WR, I'd take a chance with Kelly Campbell. The SF defensive secondary can be thrown on and Randy Moss is a little gimpy, so Campbell could continue the success he has had in the past couple weeks. The only drawback is that Culpepper may not play, but I would think Gus Frerotte could still get him the ball.

I'd go with Ward, Booker & Campbell. Ok now help me out. I've got 3 studs, but I can only play 2:

Randy Moss vs. SF

Torry Holt vs. AZ

Plaxico Burress vs. TN

Holt and Burress.

Moss has been inconsistent and is now banged up. I don't recall his injury status, but he might be questionable for the game.

If Moss is healthy, start him. Also start Holt vs. the weak Zona secondary.

Tice says Moss won't practice till Friday. But Tice says Moss should play. I'm guessing we won't know till Friday. I'm keeping him as a starter till then. SF has secondary problems.

Never and I mean ever bench Moss. Every game he has the potential to go off. I am 100% sure that he was your first WR taken so for that reason alone you should start him.
Plus if Culpepper is hurt don' you think that he will rely on Moss even more. Just throw it up and let him go get it.

Good Luck

Ya but can't that be more of a reason not to start Moss. The DBs won't have to worry about Culpepper taking off. They can stay back & protect the deep routes. Moss will probably be limited to short passes.

I just feel that replacements tend to use the stars as a crutch. So he will throw into coverage that Culpepper wouldn't really throw into. Plus by the QB not running that is another 10 pass attempts in the game. More chances for Moss.

Just keep in mind that Randy Moss is listed as questionable (50/50) with a bad back.

Chapman may play, but he's not healthy. Smith may or may not get to do something. Moe Williams can take Culpepper's runs. Moe might have a better game than I expected. But all in all, I'm more worried about Frerotte. I'll consider that and still start Moss.

Would you believe I benched Randy Moss & still won easliy? Well I did 63 to 46. Infact, if Harrison hadn't had his breakout game last night, it would've been a LOT worse. Bledsoe, Tomlinson & Holt all get game balls from me. I have learned my mistake & will never bench Moss again.

Holy Shit!!!!

I actually said something that would come true. I didn't quit think Moss would go off that much. But, of course he had to show up T. O..
Sorry it just seems most my predictions on here end up wrong.
I said this one with conviction.
Ferrotte said it best " I just throw the ball 50 yards in the air and let Moss go get it".
He was his crutch and can go off at any time.

Plus as a 49er hater living in the east bay...i have to say I loved every second and like I always say 49ERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!! [smiley=boxer.gif]
