Title: Redemption Fantasy Football league
Post by: jbeers285 on September 12, 2012, 04:03:05 PM
I am in need of a decent TE and running back

I am willing to trade Pierre Garçon and Darius Heyward Bey

Los Angeles Concussion I offered you a trade bc I noticed you are particularly weak at the WR position and both of those acquisitions would help you tremendously

If anyone has an offer or thought let me know

Don't give up on Benson and Miller yet.  Benson was facing the best run defense in the league and the team was playing from behind most of the time.  There will be many games that Rodgers gets them out to a lead and then hands it off to Benson.  With Hines Ward gone, Heath Miller is Big Ben's go to guy in a pinch.  So if Wallace and Brown are covered, Miller gets the ball.

I'd be most concerned with your QB.  ;)

Agreed but no one wants Vick and I won't be able to trade for a better QB

As far as miller partially agree but the steelers are attempting to go back to being a power running team and AB, Wallace and E are all good option for Ben to go to plus rainy catching balls from the back field

Disagree with ur benson point
Packers running game is actually a swing pass, screen game running is not a real viable option for them
3rd and 1 I'm letting. Aaron throw it before I hand to  Cedric benson

Fireboy, Drrek's Dragons and Falmouth Floggers all have excellent starting QBs as their backups.  If you ever decided to trade Vick they would be the teams I would contact.

You're right that the Steelers should return to their ground attack, but Big Ben doesn't mind throwing.  As long as he's not getting pounded, and Mendenhall's not 100%, Ben will be lighting up the skies.

I will agree with you that currently the Packers feel they are the best team out there when Rodgers has the ball in his hands, even on 3rd and 1.  BUT...it was the more-balanced, 10-6, 2010 team that won a Super Bowl...NOT the MVP-Rodgers throwing every down, 15-1, 2011 team.  I think McCarthy will need to get more balanced if he wants another ring.  ;)

No, they shouldn't. Big Ben is the best player on the team and the RBs aren't anything to write home about (even if Mendenhall was 100%). They should be just throwing lots of short timing patters though, because that Line is terrible.

He needs to go more balanced, but if he does, it will be with Alex Green, not Cedric Benson. Benson isn't multi-dimensional.

I like the steelers running the ball, I believe it gives them much better options for passing off play action and it opens up deep routes which the steelers are extremely good at with all their speedy WR's

The pack used randle Cobb out of the back field more then any of their RB's just saying

Gosh, it's hard being so prophetic:

Pack runs the Rock (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore;_ylt=AvYWiSbz2HXiG.iKI8jBNH3dzYd4?gid=20120913009)

Congrats on one correct week . . . It's a long season and you and I both know that won't be the trend. Combine that, Cutler throwing picks to everyone and there mom, Cutler getting sacked every other snap and fake field goals and this was a miracle game.

I don't know this was a miracle game, throwing ints is kinda Cutler's thing.  When the Pack have to face a team that stays more competitive offensively, they'll probably have to throw the ball more (though they do get the Bears again this year).  I'd sell on Benson right now.

I'm not in this league but I left 68 points on my bench this week and am still going to win by 20.
