Too many O-line injuries for the Rams to overcome right now and maybe for the season without Pace. But then again, when has there ever been a season when one of the top 3 picks tanks the season due to injuries to himself or other key offensive players on his team? :rolleyes: On the surface this is the "easy" explanation, but Pace missed a majority of last year also. I would still very much like to have Jackson on my roster.

No one can run the ball with eight or nine guys in the box all game.

EVERYWHERE HE HAS BEEN HIS RB'S HAVE HAD SUCCESS. FRANK GORE LAST YEAR. LAMONT JORDAN THE YEAR BEFORE. HE ALSO WAS THERE WHEN RICKY WILLIAMS AND EMMITT SMITH HAD THEIR GLORY YEARS. PEOPLE ALSO HAD EIGHT IN THE BOX LAST YEAR AGAINST L.T. AND STILL COULD NOT STOP IT. THE BIGGEST THING HERE IS THAT HE HAS PLAYED TWO TOUGH DEFENSES. ALSO HE DID SALVAGE O.K. NUMBERS IN GAME ONE. AS FAR AS S. JAX GOES I THINK HE IS A SECOND HALF PLAYER. LAST YEAR HE ONLY HAD 2 TD'S IN THE FIRST SIX GAMES. HE DID NOT BLOW UP UNTIL THE SECOND HALF.

True but that was when Norv was an assistant coach. It was a hugh mistake by San Diego to hire him this year. Heck I have LT on a couple of teams this year but the play-calling so far has been pretty predictable. They have to get the ball more to their wrs. Granted the Bears and Patriots are tough but still 1.9 yds a carry? Not a good sign I think. But of course I still would rather have LT on my main event team right now instead of the garbage I have right now at rb

Current Overall Standings and Draft Slot

6. 11
7. 9

17. 14
18. 10
19. 13
20. 5

My preference (after 1 and 2) was 13 all around. I guess I got "lucky" with the 1. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]Nice work Primo, I have even more detail on my desk, but I'm saving it for another week. That will be approx 25% of the season (little less because 13 weeks) and that will add relevence to the overall.

I have the Top 75 broken down, which again is a significant portion of the teams.

Gotta be fair when reviewing the balance.

LT2 will get there, he's just so damn good.

YES GETTING THE BALL TO THE WR'S WILL HELP. ALSO WE CAN MAKE THIS JUDGEMENT IN TWO WEEKS. HE PLAYS G.B. THIS WEEK ALTHOUGH THEIR DEFENSE HAS BEEN PLAYING WELL I THINK L.T. IS GOING TO SHREAD THEM. THE NEXT WEEK IT'S K.C. AT HOME. SO IF PRODUCTION DOESN'T PICK UP IN TWO WEEKS THEN THERE WOULD BE A NEED TO WORRY.

Unfortunately, I only have LT on one team. A DC league in which Mewelde Moore was used in place of LT this week

. But even given his slow start, by week 16 I would be willing to wager, barring injury, LT will be at the top of the RB/WR points leaderboard.

nice list, but it has more to do with SS and Chad than anything to do with 3rr.

The highest RB has 42.3

7 WR's have more than that and SS has 66.3 and Chad 64.6.

This scenario last year would have almost the exact same distribution list.

My plan was to go WR,WR,WR due to the available RB's in the 3rd-5th. Still a looooong way to go.

HAAAA!!!

...and last years success of the top 3 draft picks had more to do with LT and LJ than anything to do with the lack of 3rr.

Funny guy!
