ok. I have Grant and Fred Jackson starting right now. I have AP(chi), Norwood, and Maroney on the bench. Does the weather in Foxboro have anything to bring the value of Maroney to where I can actually feel comfortable starting him? What do you guys think as experts in this situation? Will Norwood go off? AP is just another version of Benson I think.

Thanks guys!

One person’s guess is as good as another…LOL!

If it’s an “experts” advice you want, someone else will have to answer.

If you want a knucklehead’s advice I’d suggest Maroney…and tell you that is HUGE risk. The blocking has sucked for Maroney up till now…it hasn’t been all him.
F Jackson is a legit option who’ll get 12-15 touches, unless the game is a shoot-out…doubful given the weather.

Norwood vs TB run D…a good match-up if you are willing to risk it…and it does have some merit given the conditions of the other two RB’s.

Like everyone else…watch the weather updates…there is a link to the site on the home page.
All three are risks, the later two less so.

One note: pro players are incredibly prideful…don’t be surprised if Atlanta goes out and plays the game of the season against TB. They have incentive to perform…but they could also fold…a lot will be learned about their character in this game.

If the weather is really bad, I’d go with Norwood and hope.
If the weather is ok in Cleveland, I’d go with Jackson.
You have options to Maroney, unlike others who have asked in the forum.

Yeah mostly everyone is worried about Brady and Moss, and Welker, and Stallworth… But what about the hidden weapon? Maroney. So if the weather is sucky in Foxboro go with him? and if it gonna be good passing weather go with Norwood? I would like to hear more opinions on this. c’mon guys, help a brother out! Here Is my line-up of starters all is good except the 2nd RB spot

Peyton
Wayne
Ward
Grant
________
Winslow
Folk
SD D/ST

Wow…really tough call. I want to say hands down I would go with Maroney, because #1. the Jets are not good against the run, #2. the weather will force them to run more so than usual. But Belicheck could throw in Heath Evans! It’s unpredicable.

Of your options above I think I would go with Maroney.

AP (chi) - not even an option against the Minny run D.
Jackson - Lynch is back and I see him getting more of the carries
Norwood - Haven’t seen too much of him this year, and big wildcard is what the offense does now that Petrino is gone, not that it’s going to change, but playcalling might. I would hunt out some reports to see if they plan to pass or throw etc. On Monday night they were throwing a lot.

That’s my 2 cents. Who are your other WRs?

no one to write home about… Chris Henry and I picked up Terry Glenn at the first sign of him returning. so yeah I am screwed if Ward Wayne or Winslow get hurt.

This is a tough choice. I hate to add to the problem here but Kevin Faulk is probably the better suited runner here. Runs well and catches the short passes well also. That may be the gameplan. That is what I would do, but then again I would be coaching………….
My opinion…….. Look at Faulk or keep Jackson.. If Buffalo runs alot they may alternate RB’s because of the weather. You have a good lineup up to this point but these should “should” get you a few points.

If you need a reciever go Henry. He will get some touches.

Good Luck………
