Roll that blount.

GoClips! · 09-10-2011, 03:15 AM

blount for sure. Beanie's way to untrustworthy and at least Blount will have every goal line touch. Just IMO.

ManInTheMirror · 09-10-2011, 05:36 AM

Blount no doubt.

jp98 · 09-10-2011, 09:49 AM

Blount is way better, but...Beanie is playing against one of the worst defenses...Toss up for me.

jrnelson · 09-10-2011, 10:10 AM

hands down Blount at this point, see what Wells can do this year before you start him over someone you know what can do

FavresReturn · 09-10-2011, 10:14 AM

Yup bloiunt. Always hated beanie anyways

mullmaniac99 · 09-10-2011, 11:09 AM

Thanks guys was thinking the same but not sure if Beanie is supposed to do ok this week

I would roll with Beanie. He will be getting the majority if not all of the carries against a terrible run defense.

I don't see how you can sit Beanie this week.

catfishhedberg · 09-10-2011, 01:05 PM

Yeah, as much as I love Blount (even more so since I got him in the Blowout Promo) I don't see anyway you can't play Beanie this week against one of the worst run defenses. Plus, he'll be getting practically all the carries in Arizona.

oldgoldy97 · 09-10-2011, 01:14 PM

Blount. Beanie has shown nothing in preseason or over much of last year to garner any starter status. Going against a horrible run defense doesn't mean much when you're a horrible run offense.

I wouldn't fault anyone for starting Blount over Beanie but I think Wells is better than you're giving him credit for. He had a pretty good rookie year and an awful year last year but he was hurt most of last year and on the worst passing team in the league. This preseason he averaged close to 5 yards per carry and he's really the only running back they have. That along with an improved passing game adds up to a pretty good season in my opinion for Beanie and should definitely mean a big game against an awful Panthers D that's probably going to be without Beason.

jiggidy · 09-12-2011, 03:10 PM

Hopefully you went with Beanie. The Lions put out the Blount this week.

Burt-Reynolds · 09-12-2011, 05:57 PM

I started Blount in Nodie27's league. Lucky I only drafted him in one of my leagues. I think we might have a one hit wonder on our hands. The Lions Defense aren't world stoppers. Plus Graham was getting most of the touches in the 2nd half. Something stinks in the Buccs backfield. Blount is also a known problem child. He is officially riding pine in favor of Tolbert as my #2 back until further notice. I would probably be winning my match up if I had Tolbert's 27 points over blounts 1.5 points, with Law Firm and B Marsh still going tonight. Instead I'll start the season 0-1 in Nodies League.

hate to say this but i'd go with beanie for this week. As much as I would like to go with blount it is against detriot (not that they are the best defense but good). In one of my leagues blount had 1 point and beanie scored 16. Although blount is a lot more consistent and I would still take blount, but this week i'd start beanie

Did you realize they've both played already

FavresReturn · 09-12-2011, 06:14 PM

Lol. Oops didn't realize that. Thought he was talking about week 2. Neither of those games were televised where I live so didn't know who they played.. MY BAD lol

lol with that line i could see where mnvikes was comin from. Keep in mind in the future with your RB vs the Lions pick, it isnt even 2010 lions defense, which was also improved. This year we have linebackers who can actually tackle. Last year even, we had guys who should be 2nd stringers cuz we had no one else, and an old man whose lost more then a step (he had his days, i know). But, if RB's got through D-line...then theyd gain big cuz no one could tackle for sheit, let alone read where he'd end up. Thats changed. Im not saying a RB wont get a big gainer now and then, all teams give em up sometimes. But they wont be as frequent.
