T. Jones hasn't practiced the past 2 days

[hotgumbo1 12]

To clarify, I don't own either I tried to stay away from the situation draft day. At this time, I wish I would have snagged T. Jones. I saw this news and that was the conclusion I came too. Benson getting the extra reps has to be good for him, and open the door for some playing time.

 

I would say having a banged up knee and not practicing is signs of wearing down. While Caddy was playing with a bum wheel and getting all those carries, but being listed on the injury report as probable was he being shown signs of wearing down?

Just for clarification, his supposed "wearing down" that you are referring to is NOT because he had an overabundance of carries in these early games like Caddy. Thomas Jones took a blindsided shot to his knee as he was running straight forward after he had already racked up 140+ YARDS. I'm no doctor (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn), but your liberal use of "wearing down" is way off base.

 

Playing injured (and well if I may add) is more like it.

 

About Benson, are you sure you're not an owner? It sure sounds like you are. Last time I checked, he was putting up negative yards!!!

Not an owner, in fact Benson is a free agent in one of my leagues. I'm just bored at work...

 

The positive reports about him in practice is what prompted my concern. I really don't care one way or the other, but my rival in one league has Jones... He has scored 150 points less than me, but his team is 5-2, and he sends me a daily e-mail about how much better is team is then mine- when I have out scored him 5 of 7 weeks... So maybe I do have some bias.

 

I was also thinking of trading for Thomas Jones in the one league I kept Caddy in, but as I did this reasearch I came to the conclusion that Thomas Jones is far from a slam dunk- is anybody really anymore?

 

I did however own Thomas Jones in a few leagues last year. I went thru some ups and downs. The fact is history seems to repeat itself and Jones seems to be carrying this team's offense on his shoulders, it's only a matter of time before he falters...

 

Wearing down to me or playing injured is all the same thing. Over the course of a season any player will wear down to a certain extent. However, Jones already has a knee injury and has a distinct injury history. Look at last year's stat's, he breaks down and he wasn't the same until afterwards. In this case, if he breaks down this year and Benson comes in to tear it up (they say he has been improving in practice), he could lose the full load that he has been carrying.

 

The only time he has finished a season is when he wasn't the starter...

I would say T Jones is having a Pro Bowl worthy year so far.

No doubt

No doubt...no doubt...

I would even go as far as to say he is having an MVP type year right now.

I would go so far as to say he is a mini-Priest. :ph34r:

If he's a mini priest, how small are the children he molests?

 

Are they pigmy kids?

Benson WILL NOT SEE NOTICEABLE INCREASED playing time IF CHI is still in the hunt for the division OR if they get way up on an opponent!!!!

 

They will milk TJ as much as possible & spell him while they can(including less practice time)

 

CHI will have plenty of opportunity next preseason to have Benson play.....they won't chance their season this year on a non productive rookie holdout.

Amen!
