Fantasy Football start 'em sit 'em question.

[Shane W]

Normally this wouldn't eve be an issue, but this week it is.

Bulger or Dehlomme?

Bulger has the 49ers at home, but will be without LT Orlando Pace and has historically been mediocre against SF.

Dehlomme has Houston.. And Steve Smith

[Black Roman]

I'd go with . . . damn this is a toughie.

[Black Roman]

Go with Bulger.

[The Dean]

I'd go with the Delhomme.

Houston's D looked pretty good against milktoast KC last week but I think Carolina's passing offense could be a real problem for the Texans.

[Gregory]

Delhomme. Smith isn't his only receiver.

[dEnny!]

Normally this wouldn't eve be an issue, but this week it is.

Bulger or Dehlomme?

Bulger has the 49ers at home, but will be without LT Orlando Pace and has historically been mediocre against SF.

Dehlomme has Houston.. And Steve Smith

Houston did pretty well last week in the Defensive department.

Delhomme.

[Jim T.]

Delhomme, but honesty a coin toss would be just as effective...

[Smokinblues]

I'd go with the team not missing their starting left tackle.

[Shane W]

I'm so confused!

[Tuco]

start dehlomme.

now who do i start for my #2 WR slot this week, out of these 4 WR's:
J. Cotchery (NYJ)
A. Randel El (WAS)
G. Jennings (GB)
J. Jones (GB)

I say Bulger!!

My #3 WR - Donald Driver vs the Giants or Plaxico Burress against the Packers???

Oh...and can we start this a new thread like this every week???

[Marc Lombardi]

I say Bulger!!

My #3 WR - Donald Driver vs the Giants or Plaxico Burress against the Packers???

Driver, but only if he's 100% healthy. Otherwise you have to go with Burress. The Pack D isn't as dominating as the Eagles made them out to be last week.

OK, here's my conundrum:
At TE:
Start Shockey on a team with no QB to speak of, or start D. Clark of IND vs a fierce Tenn def?

[Gregory]

OK, here's my conundrum:

Clark for sure. Tenn's D ain't that fierce.

[GelfXIII]

Cool. Change made!

[Deej]

Should I stick with Miami's D vs Dallas???

or pick up

Vikings at Detroit
Packers at Giants
Panthers home vs Houston

Panthers at home. Dallas will kill Miami.

I'd go with the Panthers at home vs Houston.
The Pack isn't a bad choice, but the Giants might surprise some people.

[Skatonic10]

Start Delhomme. SF shut down Leinart on Monday night, and have a better defense than given credit for. Carolina is at home against Houston. HOUSTON!

Although, I did have Delhomme last year, and he was so spotty that I really regretted having him. And there are a lot of people who don't think he will be Carolina's starter at the end of the season.

Can you pick up Kellen Clemens? Kid can throw the ball, but he's on the Jets, so....

[Patrick J]

start dehlomme.

Either of the Green Bay guys. GB is against the Giants who have an absolute shit defense.

[Patrick J]

OK, here's my conundrum:
At TE:
Start Shockey on a team with no QB to speak of, or start D. Clark of IND vs a fierce Tenn def?

D. Clark. The Giants never make proper use of Shockey anyway these days.

[Changeling]

I don't see Tennessee offering enough of a challenge to Indy. I'd start Clark.

Tenn usually plays Indy really tough. Didn't they beat them last year and almost beat them in the other game?

[Changeling]

Funny, I have these same two QB in one league.
Wasn't even a question for me , I'm starting Bulger even though I like SF secondary (Harris is one of my IDP).

[GelfXIII]

D. Clark. The Giants never make proper use of Shockey anyway these days.

What I wonder is whether without Manning they're going to have to utilize him entirely differently now. He may step up and really start making some waves.

[Jim T.]

I don't see Tennessee offering enough of a challenge to Indy. I'd start Clark.

Seconded

[jason hissong]

I also have the same problem, but I have Brady vs. the Chargers against Delhomme.

[Changeling]

I also have the same problem, but I have Brady vs. the Chargers against Delhomme.

I don't think you ever sit Manning or Brady. They are so good and they have the receivers to move it on anyone. Just my thoughts.

[McAfee]

I have Bulger in one of my leagues and I'm sitting him in favor of McNabb until I see how he does without Pace in a full game. Last week, after Pace was knocked out, he was shitty because he was hurried and knocked down so much. Plus, San Fran's secondary did a pretty great job of covering two very good receivers last week.

I'd start Delhomme if I were you, Shane. St. Louis' defense may not be all that, but Jake looked more like the same QB that took them all the way a few years ago. He has a healthy line and receiving corps. His confidence has to be high right now.

[Deej]

I don't think you ever sit Manning or Brady. They are so good and they have the receivers to move it on anyone. Just my thoughts.

Agreed.

[GelfXIII]

I don't think you ever sit Manning or Brady. They are so good and they have the receivers to move it on anyone. Just my thoughts.

You just cant sit Brady, ever. I know, he's evil incarnate, but he's gonna put points up on the board.

[FedEx Fanboy]

Alright, here's a delimma.

Should I start RIVERS against New England or Garrard against Atlanta.

I'm thinking the latter... The ATL is weak sauce.

[changingshades]

Okay my turn

Eli vs Garcia

if Eli Starts he'll definitly put better numbers up but if he doesn't I'm boned

[bradical]

Okay my turn

Eli vs Garcia

if Eli Starts he'll definitly put better numbers up but if he doesn't I'm boned

yeah, if eli plays your fine, or at least ok. but garcia has no value. he's got galloway and no one else. i'd check the waiver wire. might find some value. don't think eli's going to go this week.

[changingshades]

the only other option I really have is that Raiders qb who looked good in his loss but it was against the lions. So how often can you go up against someone like the lions

[bradical]

the only other option I really have is that Raiders qb who looked good in his loss but it was against the lions. So how often can you go up against someone like the lions

raiders play the broncos this week i think, so that's a no go. maybe jason david will cover galloway and garcia can do manning to wayne/harrison impersionation. that saint pass d did not look good last week. i've got galloway in one of my leagues, so i'm kind of counting on that.

[Changeling]

Okay my turn

Eli vs Garcia

if Eli Starts he'll definitly put better numbers up but if he doesn't I'm boned

Wow, that is a tough one. I'd say Garcia only because even if Eli starts the game, he may not finish the game.

[ERNIE_E]

Bulger and this is why. You've got Drew Bennet coming back which having a 3rd WR helps STL's offense greatly. That takes moves the defense to a zone instead of a man-to-man/stacking the line which is what I believe happened in the first game. I do believe losing Pace will hurt, but like last year, they will produce despite the injuries. I think this will force Bulger to get the ball out quicker and now he has the full offense to do so. Steven Jackson will have to work for his yards with Patrick Willis out there racking up tackles, but I think that opens up Jackson to catch some swing passes and make big plays for Bulger. Jackson will get his touches no matter what. With the middle of the field open (due to Willis) I think you have to go to the air a little more. And I just don't see STL starting 0-2.

Delhomme is a good option and it always matters how open Steve Smith is. If he gets loose look out, but Houston has a surprising defense and an improved ofense that can eat up the clock. Smith is really the only option for Carolina... STILL. So you have the best WR, but I think this is a game where 2 TDs will win the game.

[ERNIE_E]

Okay my turn

Eli vs Garcia

if Eli Starts he'll definitly put better numbers up but if he doesn't I'm boned

I just don't see Eli starting. I mean he will be sacrificing his body, his best RB to pick up the blitz is gone, and he's facing a much improved Defense in GB. With Eli starting at less than 100% I don't see them winning this game. Garcia is a bad option to turn to but he's likely to get your 40 yards rushing, 180 passing and 1 TD pass.

[ERNIE_E]

start dehlomme.

now who do i start for my #2 WR slot this week, out of these 4 WR's:
J. Cotchery (NYJ)
A. Randel El (WAS)
G. Jennings (GB)
J. Jones (GB)
-RAZ

Cotchery & Jennings. I think Favre will have a big game against the Giants. NYG is so banged up that they're looking for people off the street to play. I don't think JJ is a good play, if it was Jacoby Jones for Houston, I'd think twice, but I think the #3 receiver is not the play for GB, nor is any WR in the Washington Offense.

[ERNIE_E]

Alright, here's a delimma.

Should I start RIVERS against New England or Garrard against Atlanta.

I'm thinking the latter... The ATL is weak sauce.

I think JaX is gonna torch Atlanta because Harrington cannot run an offense. Problem is that they're gonna run down their throat all game because ATL's DEF cannot stop the run. So Jones Drew and Taylor are gonna have a good ol time.

Rivers is an accurate passer, and will get 200 yds, but you know Gates is going to get a lot of double teams because SD's other WR's seem to never step up (Hello, Vincent Jackson, where are you??!??!) And NE's Defense gives QB's lots of problems regardless of whether they know the signals or not. I think NE goes out and wins a game where SD will try to overplay to make up for last year's playoff loss.

[ERNIE_E]

I say Bulger!!

My #3 WR - Donald Driver vs the Giants or Plaxico Burress against the Packers???

Oh...and can we start this a new thread like this every week???

Driver. Driver. Driver. Plax will have Jared Lord of the Ring Dings Lorenzen passing (who I really hope gets out in the open field because he will bowl over someone at nearly 300 lbs.) and he really telestrates where he's throwing the ball. He lacks the polish to hit his targets consistently. Driver on the other hand is one of the best receivers in the game and Favre's go-to guy so whether they're down in the game, or trying to get a lead, Favre looks at Driver first and everyone else next.

[ERNIE_E]

I also have the same problem, but I have Brady vs. the Chargers against Delhomme.

Brady all the time. He'll have two interceptions but he'll aslo have 3 TDs and almost 300 yards, even on that great Defense. Too many weapons and he spreads it all around.

[ERNIE_E]

Should I stick with Miami's D vs Dallas???

or pick up

Vikings at Detroit
Packers at Giants
Panthers home vs Houston


Yeesh. I don't like any of those matchups. I actually like Houston's D. But I'd say that Green Bay will step up and shut the Giants down for another good outing and keep Favre and Co. on the field.

[ERNIE_E]

Randel El


OK, here's my conundrum:
At TE:
Start Shockey on a team with no QB to speak of, or start D. Clark of IND vs a fierce Tenn def?


Clark. I approach TE's like this. Other than Gates, everyone else is a crapshoot. No one utilizes the TE enough to get you any real points on week to week basis other than SD. So you can really never count on any TE to get you any points, and more or less they're a bonus.

With as decent as Clark is he'll get three passes thrown his way, one of which will be a TD pass at the goal line.

I just don't like the Giants at all this week. Too many injuries to overcome this week. The passing game of NYG will need a balanced running attack and there's just too much unknown there. I personally love Lorenzen, but more as a RB (like he was in HS) than a QB.

[Caska]

Bulger and this is why. You've got Drew Bennet coming back which having a 3rd WR helps STL's offense greatly. That takes moves the defense to a zone instead of a man-to-man/stacking the line which is what I believe happened in the first game.

Delhomme is a good option and it always matters how open Steve Smith is. If he gets loose look out, but Houston has a surprising defense and an improved ofense that can eat up the clock. Smith is really the only option for Carolina... STILL. So you have the best WR, but I think this is a game where 2 TDs will win the game.

Roethlisberger or Bulger who would you start?

[ERNIE_E]

Roethlisberger or Bulgerwho would you start?

Now this is tough. Ben had a field day last week, but it was Cleveland, and being a Cleveland fan for my whole life, it honestly was sad to see that result. But Cleveland has a lot of problems so I think that game was inflated. I'd be scared of Ben has it that easy week in and week out. But they've got a good balance attack so I think Ben will throw for a few, but Parker makes that machine go.

Bulger, as I stated above will probably be looking to throw more this week while getting Jackson more touches. What you want to see with Bulger, is for them to get behind or in a shootout which is likely with SF. I'd be highly disappointed if we see a defensive struggle this Sunday.

I personally would go with Bulger given the weapons he has. Buffalo has a good defense despite the injuries. They showed that last week. SF also has a good defense. You hope that Bulger gets a lot of yards passing to Jackson, which is very likely.

STL and PIT are both at home, and I think STL puts up the big numbers at home. So I say go with that.

[Smokinblues]

hope you went with delhomme

[ERNIE_E]

Gelf13 I hope you followed my advice on starting Dallas Clark who just got a 30 yard TD.

And Bulger's already got one TD. The more STL gets behind or trades punches with SF the more he's going to throw.

[Smokinblues]

psst. It's still early.

[Smokinblues]

psst. It's still early.
exactly, delhomme could get even more.

[ERNIE_E]

exactly, delhomme could get even more.

As could Bulger

[ERNIE_E]

Okay Bulger finished with 368 yds and 1 TD and that's 18-20 pts in most leagues

Delhomme 307 yds and 3 tds so that's 30 pts.

Delhomme had a great game and I'll give him that, but I think most people would take 20 pts from your QB.

Overall many of my recommendations made good today. Driver, Bulger, Garcia, Dallas Clark all had good double-digit games.

[changingshades]

hey guys thanks for getting me to start Garcia

Okay Trade help.

I've been offered Edge for Gates and Ahman Green. My RB situation now is Fast Willie Parker (Brandon Jacobs on the IR) and Adrian Peterson as my fill in for Jacobs.

What do you think?

[GelfXIII]

[ERNIE_E]

Okay Trade help.

What do you think?



C'mon now. You don't give up Gates for a 3rd string RB which Edge has become running behind that line. Parker and Petersen should carry you through but you should be able to pick someone up like one of the Packers RBs, Or even Derek Ward from NYG if you need some last minute RB help. You definitely want to keep Gates and Green though and that offer is utter shit. You should be getting at least one first round or second round RB at the very least and a suitable WR or TE in return.

[ERNIE_E]

So who's got good Sit/Start ?s....

[Garra]

Okay Trade help.

I've been offered Edge for Gates and Ahman Green. My RB situation now is Fast Willie Parker (Brandon Jacobs on the IR) and Adrian Peterson as my fill in for Jacobs.

What do you think?

who is your back up TE?

Id lean towards no also, but before making a call Id like to know who your back up TE is.

Also how many RB can you play each week? I'm guessing 2, but do you also have a flex slot you can play a rb in?

[CraigM]

C'mon now. You don't give up Gates for a 3rd string RB which Edge has become running behind that line.

Funny enough, I just got Ward and DeShawn Wynn from GB.

So, here's the question. At the RB/WR spot, Ward or Marques Colston? My other two WR's are Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens. My other RB is Steven Jackson

Craig

[Jet]

Normally I'd go with the RB over the WR in a flex position but I really like the Saints against the Titans this week so I'd lean towards Colston. Ya never know though Ward might get a cheap TD but I don't think he's gonna do much against the 'Skins defense.

[ERNIE_E]

Funny enough, I just got Ward and DeShawn Wynn from GB.

Craig
Sorry I didn't get to this question sooner.

Colston has to break out sooner or later. And the NO offense is just playing horrible. Dropping passes, not executing the running game. And Tennessee got their asses passed on them left and right. The whole Pac Man Jones incident really left the Titan's defensive backfield bare. I do think you'll be okay with your positions. Wynn will have it tough against the SD Def. Ward is a good play just with his double threat capability and Eli is actually playing very well early despite the injuries and Washington has tough corners so Ward might be the big option. Me? I'd always go with at least two RBs just because WR's can be so unpredictable. Johnson and TO should get plenty of action. So between Ward and Colston, I'd go with...

Ward.

[Shane W]

Okay, my QBs are Dehlomme and Bulger, Obviously I have issues there.

Should I pick up Carr or Green for this week?

[Gregory]

Okay, my QBs are Dehlomme and Bulger, Obviously I have issues there.

Should I pick up Carr or Green for this week?

Speaking as a Carolina fan, pick Green. Miami vs. Oakland has more potential than the Panthers against Tampa.

[ERNIE_E]

Okay, my QBs are Dehlomme and Bulger, Obviously I have issues there.

Should I pick up Carr or Green for this week?

Don't pick up Carr. Delhomme is listed day-to-day and the MRI was negative and you don't want to waste an add/drop on a guy who may or may not start. If he's starting, he may be your best option with Steve Smith and now Jeff King in the mix as a TE who's gotten a lot of looks of late.


Gus Ferrotte might be an option also to pick up but that's can be down the road as Bulger doesn't look like he'll make it through with broken ribs.

Now looking at the matchups, you have Bulger with Brian Leonard in the backfiled now against a blitzing Dallas team. And who don't have Orlando Pace. That's going to be a tough matchup.

Delhomme looks at an improved Bucs team with all the ball-hawking defenders there.

Green now, looks at the Oakland Defense which is a little better than what people give them credit for. They've played well of late in forcing turnovers against Cleveland and keeping it close with Denver. But I think he can still muster two scores against them.

Green might be a good pickup as a backup option/insurance for your two wounded birds. Also look at the bye weeks to make sure he doesn't conflict with your other QBs. If you can pick Green up, I say go for it without dropping the other two but keep an eye on Delhomme (which will be a game day decision) but at least you'll have Green.

The latest I heard today on local radio was that Carr was starting instead of Jake. The Rams O-line is in shambles, Bulger may not make it through this game alive. I picked up Green before this just based on the matchup.

Trade Question.

My team is as follows:

Kitna, Jon QB
Green, Ahman RB
Tomlinson, LaDainian RB
Boldin, Anquan WR
Driver, Donald WR
Williams, Roy WR
King, Jeff TE
Folk, Nick K
Eagles, DST
Schaub, Matt QB
Morris, Maurice RB
Pittman, Michael RB
Rhodes, Dominic RB
Burleson, Nate WR
Burress, Plaxico WR
Jones, Matt WR
Kaeding, Nate K
Davis, Vernon TE

I really only have 1 starting RB right now with Ahman Green hurt. I was offered Derrick Ward and Andre Johnson for Plaxico. Andre is hurt but I don't need him right now...Ward is a bit banged up but should be able to start.

What do you think of this trade??

I would do it and then drop Matt Jones.

[Gregory]

Andre's hurt and not expected to play this weekend against a Falcon team that could have netted him a lot of yardage. I'd skip that trade.

[Tuco]

Okay, my QBs are Dehlomme and Bulger, Obviously I have issues there.

Should I pick up Carr or Green for this week?

i have a similar dilemma, bulger or anderson. i took a gamble and picked up griese, anyone can throw on detroit. they're giving up 400 yds a game and have a terrible secondary. griese might be a good fill in option for this week and when he has an awesome game against the lions you can use him as trade bait, or hold on to him cause they play detroit again and a bunch of other terrible pass defenses.
-RAZ

[Marc Lombardi]

Andre's hurt and not expected to play this weekend against a Falcon team that could have netted him a lot of yardage. I'd skip that trade.

Yeah, but Plaxico is a tad gimpy, too. And a healed Andre Johnson is better than a healed Plax. Plus looking at his receiver depth from the rest of his roster, he doesn't even need Plax OR A-Johnson this week. This way he picks up a decent RB in the process and eventually upgrades at WR, too.

[Deej]

Andre's hurt and not expected to play this weekend against a Falcon team that could have netted him a lot of yardage. I'd skip that trade.

But with Roy Williams, Donald Driver and Anquan Boldin...I'm pretty set at WR for now. Once Andre Johnson comes back, I'll have him as the 4th option. Plus Bye weeks go 7, 8, 9, 10. Really, I just need a RB for this weekend. None available as free agents.

[The Dean]

Okay, my QBs are Dehlomme and Bulger, Obviously I have issues there.

I'd do it. I'm high on Derrick Ward even when the Giants get Jacob's back. He's a double threat so as long as he plays he's sure to get 50-60 in rushing and another 40 in receiving. Andre Johnson is a serious stud and once he does come back, I'd even put Boldin on the bench for him. That's how good he is. Burress is a point monster too, but you gotta give up something to get something.

I'm in a tough spot this week...

Do I start Carson Palmer vs. the Pats

or

Matt Schaub vs his old team, the Falcons?

I agree with Ernie on this big time. That trade is a steal for you, jump on it.

Palmer. Schaub looks poised for a big game, but the way I see it the Bengals will be in way more passing situations (i.e. - trailing in the game) than the Texans will.

Schaub. Players tend to have thier best games against the teams who let them go. And the way this season is going for ATL, Id expect Schaub to torch them.

i have a similar dilemma, bulger or anderson. i took a gamble and picked up griese, anyone can throw on detroit. they're giving up 400 yds a game and have a terrible secondary. griese might be a good fill in option for this week and when he has an awesome game against the lions you can use him as trade bait, or hold on to him cause they play detroit again and a bunch of other terrible pass defenses.

Anderson v Baltimore is just a bad matchup. Although I have a simmering gut feeling that Jamal Lewis will have a big day against his old pals. Anyone can throw on Detroit, but in the NFL, that just means that's a sucker bet. Anyone who is shown up like the Lions have is sure to have at least one good day in their pocket. Chicago has never played all that well in Detroit in recent years but good luck with that. I mean, okay you make the switch to Griese, but he still doesn't have anyone to throw to. Berrian is a dingleberry who drops passes, they still don't know how to utilize the TE, and their philosophy at Chicago has always been run first.

Bulger v Cowboys? Well if they can find some openings for Brian Leonard, I think he can be a gamebreaker. That's a big If, and the Rams are really banged up. Hell if it were me I think I'd still go with a Bulger with one leg. It's a serious toss-up given the match-ups.

Okay look at the situations....

Rudi Johnson's out for the game so it's pass pass pass for Palmer. Which makes them predictable but they'll be fighting to keep score with the Pats run and gun offense. So he'll put it up. He won't get 6 TDs,-- though he'll need to-- but I don't think 3-4 is out of the question. But he'll have at least 2 INTs.

Schaub will also put up numbers but his top two receivers are out, leaving Kevin Walters, Jerome Mathis, and Andre Davis. Mathis is questionable right now, AND Ahman Green is too. So that leaves Ron Dayne carrying the rock, and we all know the end to that story. Still I think the Texans win because the Falcons are just that bad.

But for pure numbers, you go with Palmer.

So I need to start two RB's this week and I have Willie Parker vs. Arizona, Travis Henry vs. Indy or the surprising Lamont Jordan vs. Miami this weekend. It wouldn't be a question except Jordan has done really well from a fantasy perspective this year.

Jordan is the no-brainer here, IMO. He's been fried gold all year because he's about 60% of Oakland's offense. Miami's defense has also sucked balls, which is sorta surprising.

I'd also go with Parker. The Stealers should be ahead most of the game, which means ball control in the second half.

Henry may be going up against a suspect defense in Indy, but they too figure to be behind most of the game...especially in the dome.

Larry Fitzgerald or Hines Ward?

If Larry has Kurt, I'd say Larry. Hines is a little dinged up anyway...

[WAKKAJAWAKKA]

Favre @ Min Or Delhomme @ Home Vs Tampa.

Wayno.

Favre @ Min Or Delhomme @ Home Vs Tampa.

Wayno.

Favre... Delhomme may not play.

I checked the rosters... A guy name Wayno isn't playing either. What team is he on? :)

For my third WR, which of these four:

Kevin Curtis @ NYG
Ronald Curry @ Mia
Braylon Edwards@ Bal
Derrick Mason @ Cle

Curtis might have been a fluke last week, but the Giants secondary kind of sucks. Baltimore's D is good but maybe not unstoppable. I don't really know much about Miami or Cleveland.

[Caska]

Indianapolis Def or Chicago Def

[McAfee]

Indianapolis Def or Chicago Def

Detroit will score. Denver may not...much.

Lamont Jordan all the way. He catches and runs. He's 80% of the Raiders' Offense right now and he's facing Miami team that may not have Zach Thomas in the line. Paker's money for a cool 100 and one touch down. Not much more

Indy's Defense is to be reckon with.

Indy

Mason should get a good game against Cleveland.

Curtis is Philly's best receiver.

Curry won't get as much action as Lamont Jordan and Braylon will be going up against McAllister and Reed. Tough day.

[ERNIE_E]

Favre @ Min Or Delhomme @ Home Vs Tampa.

Wayno.

Easy play. Favre. No Running game, weak giants secondary. Hell, Delhomme may not even play.

[ERNIE_E]

Larry Fitzgerald or Hines Ward?

Fitzgerald. Boldin may not play and is banged up so Fitz will get a bulk of the looks. Ward, is also banged up so he might not get as much action. Plus AZ Def is pretty physical. But it's Parker that has the big game against the Cards, not Ward.

[Brewtown Andy]

Indianapolis Def or Chicago DefTry trading the Chicago D before someone realizes that they've got 5 starters injured.

Bumping this just becase I enjoy it so much.

I'd go Curtis.

Thanks for the tips. I think I will go with Curtis. He could be a bust, but based on last week his potential upside seems higher than Mason's, and the Baltimore QB situation is a bit shaky right now.

Curtis is a good play, and hopefully McNabb got the cobwebs off and he's hopefully found a go-to receiver other than Westbrook. just a bit of info though, Cleveland has the worst pass defense in the league.

[ERNIE_E]

Yeah I meant to follow up on this. He's O-U-T. And those with Delhomme, I think that's honestly a gametime decision given that he hasn't practiced all week long. Normally if you don't practice you don't play... But to quote A.I. "Practice? We talking about practice!?"

Aren't you a Cleveland fan? That must sting.
