Title: Bledsoe OR Brooks AGAIN
Post by bakes781 on Nov 19^th, 2003, 9:56am

I have been giving Brooks the nod the majority of the season. However, last week he was awful when you consider he was facing the Atlanta Falcons. On the other hand, Bledsoe hasn't even thrown for over 200 yards or a TD since week 7.

Bledsoe vs. Colts(avg. 201 yds & 13 total TDs allowed to QBs along with 9 INTs)

Brooks AT Eagles(avg. 219 yds & 11 total TDs allowed to QBs along with 8 INTs)

So the defensive matchups are pretty even. Weather is probably about the same. The player comparison favors Brooks THIS season. 13 to 7 in TDs & INTS are even at 8. Bledsoe has a VERY successful history against the Colts, however their last meeting was 2 seasons ago while a Patriot. Brooks has never played Philadelphia.

I'd go with Brooks. NO should be able to run the ball a bit with McAllister, so Brooks will get his shots on play action. (Does NO run play action? I haven't seen them play yet this year.)

Yeah I'm sure they must. I have only seen a few of thier games. I try to catch as many games as possible on the dish. The local sports bar I go to can only carry 4 at a time in addition to the games shown locally. I have a hunch Bledsoe will snap out of his funk this week, but I guess the better play is Brooks.
