Cora Cora 0 Posted November 10, 2011 Let me start by saying that im very high on michael bush and think hes more than capable of starting on most teams. Is tonight a risky play though since oakland could be chasing SD on the score board all night. I have to decide whether to play him or Murray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is tonight a risky play though since oakland could be chasing SD on the score board all night. I have to decide whether to play him or Murray. Not big into helping guys with lineup questions on this board, but you struck a nerve since I'm considering sitting Bush for R Mathews of all people. If I'm you I start Murray. Why? Because he's much more explosive than M Bush will ever be. Bush could get you about 100 and a score, Murray can get close to that yardage with one carry. I'm considering Mathews over Bush for the same reason. He's more explosive, even though he's a sissy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R8RMick 242 Posted November 10, 2011 The Raiders have been known to play well down at the Murph on occasion. They usually draw well there, which pumps them up. And at least once a year they rise up and win a game they have no business winning. Having stated this crazy logic, I still like Michael Bush a LOT in this game. He's got fresh legs right now, which is more than can be said for a lot of runners, including Mathews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R8RMick 242 Posted November 10, 2011 Mathews hasn't played in over a week. Bush just played on Sunday. Who is more fresh? Well, those groin injuries will sap the wind out of you for sure. That's basically where I was going with that. By the way, hate to count coup on some of my colleagues here that are dealing with DMC, but this is like the gift that keeps on giving. Darren McFadden (foot) is still wearing a walking boot and using crutches to get around. McFadden did not travel to San Diego for Thursday's game against the Chargers and he's no lock to play in Week 11. "That mid-foot sprain is really something," coach Hue Jackson said. "You have to get back to walking first before you can do anything, so my main thing is to get him out of that walking boot first." McFadden originally sustained his injury on Oct. 23 against the Chiefs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McFadden originally sustained his injury on Oct. 23 against the Chiefs. I agree Mick. I'd go Murray over Bush (more explosive) and Bush over Matthews (groin injury can easily be re-aggravated plus Tolbert is capable while Bush has Taiwan and Reece?!)... Thanks to Mick, I made a strong move and traded for Bush. Of course I had to give my #2 WR and RB but I'm thinking DMC may be down for longer since he hasn't even walked on his foot yet.

Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted November 11, 2011 Ultimately followed common sense and started Bush over both Mathews and Tolbert. Common sense being that Bush wouldn't share. The man may not be explosive like McFadden or Mathews (if he had another gear he would have taken that screen to the house) but he's tough as hell and can handle 30 carries. I won't be starting Mathews anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thePRO 78 Posted November 11, 2011 Bush could've had 4 scores if he had the extra gear. He had the huge run, screen, and a goal line stop. Started Bush and Ford tonight, I'll take the 33 pts any day. But... I almost went Bush and Moore....who would've thought I'd be starting 2 Raiders after drafting 0! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Next Generation 10 Posted November 11, 2011 I need Bush to produce for 2 players since Vincent Jackson decided to do nothing. Maybe another touchdown by Bush will help. Same here. Luckily the guy I'm playing had Tolbert going, so it seems like a wash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdogge 17 Posted November 11, 2011 Same here. Luckily the guy I'm playing had Tolbert going, so it seems like a wash. My exact same scenario as well.. I was glad to see Tolbert bottled up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doozer 0 Posted November 11, 2011 All this talk about an extra gear... The dude just broke the Raiders yards from scrimmage record... 242. McFadden has never done that and he has, "an extra gear." Give credit where credit is due, he had a monster game, with an entirely different, and imo, just as effective skill set as McFadden. I wish he had a chance to be someones #1 RB, barring injuries he would be a monster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
