Title: Week 8 Lineup
Post by ColaSteeler on Oct 26^th, 2003, 10:45am

2 choices for this week:

QB (pick 1): Brady, Carter, Kitna, Blake or Carr? (i'll be playing musical QBs going forward)

Need 6 (2 or 3 RB, 3 or 4 WR):

Portis, J. Lewis, M. Williams, C. Johnson are definites, & I need 2 more of:

Mason, Burress, McCardell, and Streets.

Leaning towards Mason and McCardell (heard it was pouring in Pitt).

I'm also worried about Portis (with the 3rd or 4th string QB), but the option of benching him and starting the remainder of Burress/McCardell/Streets doesn't give me the upside that I probably need.

Thanks.

QB--- this is a toss up. If you feel like gambling, take Blake against San Fran. Rememer what he did in week 1 against San Fran? Boldin had 200+ yards. Safe bet would be Brady

WR--- I would go with McCardell against Dallas and Burress. Mason is losing TD's to Bennett and Calico and I personally am not sold on Streets. Besides, Burress is due for a big game.

QB - Brady
WR - Mason and Burress

Brady and the Pats have been playing well as of late and this game will give them a lot of momentum. I'm expecting big #'s. You're right on with Mason, but I like Burress over Streets. Pittsburgh's running game is terrible and the Steelers will have to score points to keep up with the Rams. I think they'll be airing it out to Plaxico. DO NOT BENCH PORTIS. Good luck.
