Title: WDIS D.Davis, Barlow, Griffin
Post by Mossaholic on Sep 9th, 2004, 12:16pm
Who should I start

D.Davis vs SD - Carr [smiley=fingerscrossed.gif] is my QB

Barlow vs ATL - No run D last year

Griffin vs KC - National TV. Has KC run D improved? Is Bell, Hearst gonna get any carries?

I am leaning towards Davis but with Carr as my QB I was thinking of going with Barlow just to spread my eggs out alittle bit and a lot of people seem to be high on Griffin this week. Help I'm confused  [smiley=gonecrazy.gif]

Start D.Davis even with Carr as your QB. I don't always believe in the spread it out theory, and Quincy will lose goal line TDs to other RBs even if he does get the majority of the carries.

Just my 2 cents on this one.

The only way I wouldn't go with Davis is if you think your opponent is a lot better than you.  In that case you want to hope that Carr stars and you will want to go with Griffin as he has more potential than Barlow to light it up (even though Barlow will probably score more points).

In order, I would go with 1) Davis or 2) Barlow, and even though I am not high on Barlow, they are pretty close based on Davis's being dinged up and Barlow's going up against a (likely) soft rush defense.  If you, as you say, do not want to put all your eggs in the Texans basket, then, by all means, go with Barlow.  That's really a close call and a personal (and acceptable) choice of style (when the players in question are of a similar caliber).  I personally would lean toward Davis.  "Discount" Griffin, ;) in any case; too many mouths to feed in Denver Week 1 and Shanny's unpredictable as we all know all too well.  Good luck!

I'd go Davis.   If that game progresses as expected, Davis should see a lot of 2nd half carries as they eat clock with a lead.  I've never been a Barlow fan, and Denver is going to get behind quickly to KC.  I don't think they're offense can keep up this year.

I'll stray from public sentiment here and go with:

#1 - Kevan Barlow - Completely healthy. Team's main option with a gimpy QB. Playing against an unproven (at least in 2004) defense that was very shaky in 2003.

#2 - Dom Davis - Not completely healthy. Will lose some (not many) carries to Hollings. Has a team that will look to use its WRs quite a bit too against a shaky defensive secondary. Plus, you're already starting a Texan at QB.

#3 - Quentin Griffin - Healthy, but so is Bell now, and so is Hearst.  Griffin might lose some carries to both.  Chiefs have a more aggressive defense under Gunther Cunningham and will certainly be looking to showcase it against a division rival.

If there is ONE strength to Marty's team on defense it's his secondary. ;)

Sure, on the Chargers defense, the secondary may be the strongest part compared to the DL and LBs, but it's still weak by NFL standards.

true but, Marty ain't no spring chicken to the defensive side of the ball. He should not be undervalued as a coach in this situation.
