Title: more RB help please
Post by Mossaholic on Oct 8^th, 2003, 11:13am

I don't think edge is going to play again this week >:( so I've got a decision to make and I need some help ???. Who is the better start.

Dunn @ Rams

Westbrook @ C-Boys

R. Williams(the other ricky) @ Car

all the D's are good against the run and they are all splitting carries. Westbrook seems to be on the rise while Dunn seems to be falling.
Thanks all opinion appreciated,

Barring anything bizarre (which is entirely possible) with the playcalling in Philly, I'd say go with Westbrook. Coach seems to have faith in him right now and he's getting the job done really well.

Dunn (despite the TD last week) will continue to get less work than TJ Duckett and Ricky Williams, who has played well, should have some trouble against Carolina.

The way Westbrook is playing and the % of carries he is getting I would definately go with him.

Knee-jerk reaction say's Westbrook. Then I thought about Dunn on MNF and had this crazy vision of him having a big game under the lights. So at this moment I would play Dunn.

Unless I am missing something in Westbrook who seems to be getting a lot of love this week.............

Dunn, definitely! He still had 83 yards receiving last week. He had 91 and a TD on the day. Pretty damn good, actually! Bottom line, even with the emergence of Duckett, he'll still give ya' "Eric Metcalf back in his hayday" type numbers. Westbrook, who knows? And, the Cowboys rush defense is tough. And, anybody up against the Panthers, especially a "cruiser weight" like Williams, no way.

I agree with stegrock ! And if my memory serves right Dunn has a had some big games against the rams in the past.

Dunn is the most solid play here. The others are too sporadic...
