Title: Indulging again... Wheatley, Garner or Bettis?
Post by Mr. Milloy on Dec 5^th, 2003, 2:15pm

We start 3 running backs. This week I have to choose between Wheatley, Garner or Bettis, all playing in the same game actually (to play in the #3 hole behind Holmes and Lewis). Who would you go with?

I'd cross off Garner. He's still returning from injury and his game will be affected by cold, snowy, muddy weather.

Bettis and Wheatley have very similar stats of late and should both be used extensively in the game.

That being said, I'd go with Bettis merely because I think Pittsburgh will be running a lot and Bettis doesn't have anyone to vulture TDs (i.e., Zack Crockett).

I'm in total agreement with Philly. BTW that is one gruesome icon you got there man.

[offtopic]Oh, my God! Someone actually knows who I am referring to (with my temporary nickname change and new signature line)! [smiley=gunsablazin.gif] [smiley=firinback.gif] Did you see the show, bakes? I thought it was, "eh", but given the way you guys know me to run this site, I thought there was something there for me to play off of. "StegRock" will be returning soon. ;)[/offtopic]

I got it too, Milloy. Check my previous post in Between the 20s.

I say go with Bettis.

PS. I love Philly's icon.

Update, for those interested, I went with Bettis.

Thank you all for all of your help! [smiley=bow.gif]
