Title: JJones start over a WR?
Post by captainpurple on Sep 7^th, 2004, 4:51pm

Would you start any of the following over JJones? Standard scoring except that I get 1 pt/reception.

PPrice, Stallworth, TGlenn, TTaylor.

GO VIKES!

Maybe Donte Stallworth, definitely not TGlenn or TTaylor. Peerless should bounce back, but I would give Thomas Jones a chance until he proves he's not starter material (which is possible).

JYJ :^)

Oh, I just noticed you said Julius Jones, that's a different story, until he is starting, or you can figure out how he will be used by Parcells the schizo, I would consider starting Donte Stallworth.

Sorry, answered this thread in a hurry and got it mixed w/ Tony O's in which he is making a decision between ferguson & J.Jones.

I'm sure you knew who I was talking about being a Vikings fan and all w/ the Packers in your beloved division.

If it was me, I'd start JJones, but I guess I'm biased towards RBs. However, Price is an interesting option with 1 pt/reception facing a weakened San Fran defense.

Don't even think about Glenn or Taylor. Stallworth has had a quiet (but injury-free) pre-season, although he faces an improved Seattle secondary. Seattle, however, should score a ton of points, so NO will be playing catch-up.

I just don't like Jones against Minny this week AT Minny w/ Minny new and bad AZZ defensive line to go up against! (By the way - I love that new DLine - Hovan, Williams & Udeze in conjunction w/ ALOT of pass rush specialists to keep everyone fresh!).

I may BEE completely off w/ this but, start Stallworth and especially if you get ANY points for distance TDs. However, BEEware that NOR loves to spread the ball around as in the past.

Just read that J.Jones might not play even though, he isn't on the injured list.

Here is my take on J.Jones & other younger Backs that have vets in front of them :

Players like E.George & Tyrone Wheatley will start off the season banging it through the trenches. Then later in the season, the younger guys will make thweir presence known with much fresher legs to run with.

DUDE, YOU GOTTA START PEERLESS PRICE, PERIOD (or three exclamation points)!!! #1 receiver on a decent offensive team over a #2 running back on a bad offensive team any day of the week, brother.

I guess I agree with this, except how it relates to the parties involved. I think Jones is Dallas's #1 running back, when healthy. I also see Atlanta and Dallas being a lot closer on offense (Atlanta as above-average, Dallas as below-average). Despite the nit-picking, this week I'd agree with the ultimate sentiment, go with Price.

Parcells won't commit to playing Jones at all in the game, even though Jones says he is sore but ready to go... better go with Price or Stallworth (I'd go Price).
