As I write, the Texans are ignoring a wide open Andre Johnson all over the field so they can throw to Kevin Walter, Jacoby Jones and Derrick Ward. Two of my fantasy teams are in big trouble tonight if that continues, and the dreams of an undefeated season will go the way of the moa.
Anyway, what was interesting yesterday on TV?
Let's start with Randy Moss. First of all, if there is a worse coach in the NFL than Brad Childress I know nothing about football (and that's saying a lot considering Norv Turner is still in the league). Now, Randy made a couple of terrible plays yesterday, most notably on a pass interference call, but to say he was a non factor like I've heard all day today is silly. Troy Aikman pointed out time after time how the Pats were doubling Moss with a deep safety, which is precisely why Percy Harvin went well over 100 and Adrian Peterson saw so many holes early. Both lose value with Moss and his double teams gone. Actually, they lose a lot of value, as I'm not sure Bernard Berrian requires single coverage at this point. He can't catch the football.
As a fantasy player, Moss is no more than a WR3 wherever he goes at this point. What makes us think he'll perform somewhere else if he can't get it done with Brady or Favre?
LeGarrette Blount isn't that shifty, but he can run the football. Great power, and he got the goal line. I'm buying, not selling at this point.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis is certainly viable in the Pats offense. They are proving me wrong by committing to the running game. Great game by BGE yesterday.
As much as we don't believe in Derek Anderson, he is much better than Max Hall for Larry Fitz. Much better.
Which makes me laugh thinking about the time Derek Anderson made the Pro Bowl. I remember him trying to lead a game winning draive missing his open receivers by 10 yards. Chad Johnson (at the time) had to be thinking, "I get this in the Pro Bowl?????"
It is certainly worth noting that Ricky Williams got a goal line score. It may be that the Dolphins just stick with whoever is in the game, but I haven't seen Ronnie in at the goal line for a while. Actually, I don't see Miami at the goal line much. Hail Dan Carpenter!
It appears the roar has been restored in the Stafford to Johnson connection in Detroit. He's unstoppable, and his own team has finally figured that out.
Jahvid Best, 12 carries. Kevin Smith, 12 carries.
It appears as if Keiland Williams is the guy in Washington if Torain can't go next game. They do have a bye next week, so Torain may have a chance. Still, Williams is a must add.
The verdict in Dallas? Kitna is not going to be that bad for the Dallas passing game. He looked okay, and the picks were drops as much as they were picks. Witten gains value, Austin loses a little, but doesn't crash. I'm still waiting for Tashard Choice. Felix stinks.
Cheers,
TFAM
