Title: back at ya...vick or brooks
Post by geojon on Sep 23^rd, 2004, 11:09am

Here we go again...just for laughs.

vick at home against ariz

should be a shoot out...ariz defense not great so vick will find some running room for sure, maybe a 100 yard day...should also get a fair amount of receiving yards...falcons might run away with this game relegating passing game to second string

brooks away at St. Louey

No Deuce so that's at least 50 more passing yards and maybe an extra TD. Possibility of a shoot-out given the nature of both teams. Brooks might also run one.

Might go with Brooks this week, but what do you think?

Tks.

George

I agree that w/o Deuce, Brooks is throwing more; however, STL will know that too. I'd expect them to do a lot of blitzing with no respect for the run. When not blitzing, expect mostly nickel and dime coverages. Could be a decent day rushing for Brooks, but I wouldn't expect huge #s passing.

I'd go with Vick.

Good Luck!

Brooks really isn't a running QB... don't know why that perception is out there. He averaged 11 rushing yards a game in 2003...

Anyway, I'd still go with Brooks. He'll have to air it out because the running game will be terrible. St. Louis should score early and often, so NO could be playing catch-up the whole game.

:o That's a bit of an eye opener! I've never seen that stat. I don't know why that perception is there, but you are correct, it's not deserved.

I'd still go with Vick though. I don't like it when a team is one dimensional, even if it is to your players advantage.

Toss up here...both should fare well, so given that, I say, go with Brooks. He should have a bitof a better day

Yah gotta think that Vick won't post back to back 100 yard rushing games.
That said, Brooks and the Ain'ts - are about as up & down of a team that you can come across.

Rams have very little in their secondary to worry about and the Saint receivers should blister their DBs..

Arizona had batter not play like they did against the Patsys - regardless of his rushing stats, Vick could have a great day!

Go w/ Brooks this week but, rest assured, Vick is a STUD!!

P.S. Philly, I'm not done w/ you yet! ;D
