    ++ UPDATE: Giovani Bernard Hip Injury - Out Week 9

    That play last season against Miami was one of the most impressive things ive ever seen. 35 yards yes but he ran about 80 and would have went 80 if they were that far away lol.

    ++ UPDATE: Giovani Bernard Hip Injury - Out Week 9

    Probably should use Hill more between the tackles and get Gio into space. That said, Hill hasn't really looked any different running between the tackles. He may even look worse. Yesterday alone, he got stuffed over and over again. The best the running game looked yesterday was the drive Gio jumped into the endzone. His running drove them down the field.

    ++ UPDATE: Giovani Bernard Hip Injury - Out Week 9

    He's not really. Hill gets a drive every 3 or 4 series it seems. They're not really used in specific situations.

    ++ UPDATE: Giovani Bernard Hip Injury - Out Week 9

    Not really, that's his game. He's a 2,3,1,-2,5,1,70 type runner. Barry Sanders was the most talented example of that.

    ++ UPDATE: Giovani Bernard Hip Injury - Out Week 9

    Both good backs. Both are averaging around 4 ypc this season. Tells me its more the offensive line than anything. I know i haven't seen any running room the last 2 weeks. Hill has done absolutely nothing in the running game as well. He had one decent run last week in garbage time against a prevent. He got stuffed pretty hard at the goalline this week. Gio did as well the 1st time, got in the 2nd trip there. Be one thing if one guy was running wild and the other was getting stuffed time and time again. But the results have been similar with both.
  6. So we're thinking about starting a 32 team dynasty league after participating in many 16 team leagues (red dog, double coverage, hot route). But wondering if this even something that would have legs as a dynasty. We want all seperate players ie no team Qb, team kicker etc and it would be idp. We would have an initial auction draft as we don't think a serpentine draft would be fair in a league this size. Also the challenge of finding 32 dedicated owners, although we have nearly half that interested thus far. Basically wondering if anyone has done one and did teams who didn't have a startable Qb lose interest quickly as that's one of my main concerns. We are kicking around a 24 team league instead as atleast that way there will be a couple extra qbs floating around. We fear that if you don't have a Qb in the 32 team league it would be impossible to trade for one. Thoughts?

    Concussion Factor

    You havent listed a single article that states once fully recovered you are more likely to get another concussion. Are you more likely if you are still experiences effects of the 1st? yes. Can it take up to a year to recover? yes. Are you probably more likely in the same season? yes. Are you more likely a year or more later if fully recovered and experiencing no effects? that has not been proven one way or the other yet. ESPN and rotoworld lol. This research is a big part of my job.

    Concussion Factor

    no they don't. there are experts on both sides of the debate. its hardly a fact

    Concussion Factor

    Sounds very much like you had pile on concussions and have had some brain damage as a result unfortunately.

    Concussion Factor

    Not sure id call it proven medical science. Sustaining a 2nd concussion when still recovering from the effects of a 1st is in fact much easier and also more serious. But whether you are more susceptible after you have completely recovered from a prior concussion is very much up for debate and has not been proven one way or he other.

    Early Full Draft - New Dynasty League

    The top WRs were a bargain in a ppr league.

    Calvin Johnson

    I wouldn't even consider that if i owned Calvin in a dynasty.

    dynasty brain teaser trade proposal

    MJD is a top 5 player in ppr leagues. Not sure why he'd even consider some low value scraps for a player of that caliber.

    5 places I believe TO might go

    Indy would be among the last places i think he'll go. 1. Nobody controls TO, Manning included. Everyone thinks this time will be different but it never is. 2. Colts have no money and if you think TO plays for the vet minimum you're fooling yourself. They have 2.8 million dollars with 2 million of that earmarked for rookies. 3. When was the last time the Colts ever signed a big name free agent? 4. Colts are one of the chief teams who demand good locker room character 5. They didnt pursue any of the free agent WRs available this year

    Michael Crabtree

    Not saying it is. But i can name 10 guys who ran slow times and were top 10 picks and busted. Also not saying Maclin will be a better pro than Crabtree. Just saying if Maclin runs two tenths quicker than Crabtree, i wouldnt be surprised if he's the 1st WR off the board in April.

    Michael Crabtree

    Not even sure he'll be the top WR off the board in April. If he runs a 4.5X forty which i expect and Maclin runs a 4.3X which is also expected, i wouldnt be surprised if Jeremy goes before him. Been a lot of guys who have dominated in college but didnt have the speed to gain separation in the pros.
  17. 32 team dynasty league that's two sister 16 team leagues is looking for two new members. This is the 5th year the league has been in existance and its running strong. Good owners, a lot of trading and quite a bit of email banter goes on. The normal league fee is $50 this year and $25 (half) for next year with a 100% payout. The owners that left were largely paid up so the entrance fee is only $25, a third of the cost, and the new owner will be paid up through half of 2009. The two open teams are the Bears in TML 1 and Sexy Rexy in TML 2. Take a look at the rosters and the league bylaws and let me know if you're interested. http://www40.myfantasyleague.com/2008/home/29391

    Deion Branch, is he done?

    Done? He's only 28 years old. He's not the first to tear an ACL and he won't be the last.

    Darren Mcfadden Highlights

    i love watching guys who look like they have another gear compared to everyone else on the field.

    Looking ahead to 2008 Drafts...

    Can't see Fargas in the 1st three rounds. Take Gates over him any day of the week.

    For All You Portis Doubters

    300 carries isn't that much. He had 350 two years in a row before that.

    Chris Chambers Traded To San Diego

    San Diego and Miami have thrown for roughly the same number of yards this year. Ronnie has nearly twice as many receiving yards as LT. Gates will get his share but there will be plenty left over after Gates and LT........to about the tune of 1800-2000 yards.

    FWP update

    Knee has to worry you a little. Speed is his chief asset. He loses even a half step and his abilities are greatly diminished.

    How long until...

    Pats should trade for him. Culpepper to Moss all over again.
