Just Thinkin' About Tomorrow

Here are the storylines that I'm going to be following in the NFL tomorrow.

Larry Johnson's corpse
Will the Chiefs begin to get Jamaal Charles more involved in their offense against the Giants?

Rashard's redemption
Can Rashard Mendenhall bust through the doghouse door and not look back?  Wille Parker is giving him that chance.

It's now or never
Matt Forte (Lions) and Steve Slaton (Raiders) have to get off the schnide with their matchups this week, right?

Streakin' the quad
How much of an impact will Marion Barber have in Denver?  Is his quad 100%?  I'm guessing no.

Fred or Fraud?
Will Fred Taylor build on his 100-yard and a score effort last week?  If he does it against the Ravens this week, look out.

Andre the Giant?
Andre Johnson has been held to three catches (combined) in his last two meetings with Nnamdi Asomugha.  Is he pissed?

Is there sugar in the Coffee?
Glen Coffee gets his shot against the putrid Rams.

Chad Henne gets his shot
I have a hunch he may be better than Pennington if they give him a chance to throw the ball downfield.  Actually, that would mean they have to have someone who can make the big play down the field.  Scratch that.

Force vs. object
The Saints offense gets a shot against the Jets defense on the turf.  Should be really interesting.  Can Pierre run on the Jets?  Can Revis shut down Colston?

Julius Jones, really?
He gets a soft run defense in the Colts tomorrow.  Can he score four games in a row?  I hope so, he's been a key cog on my dynasty team through three weeks.

Finally, tomorrow will be the debut of "As Seen on TV", my weekly Sunday night column devoted to finding the items you may not get from the boxscores.

Good luck tomorrow everyone.

Cheers,
TFAM
