Going with the gut

[Swimbait2009]

Hey guys,

I went with Slaton over Rice today (last minute decision), and Northcutt over Avery (also last minute). Last week I picked up Miles Austin at the last minute (wanted Massaquoi, but someone nabbed him just before me) and we know how that worked out! Hopefully this week's last minute calls turn out as successful! I'm curious to hear what you guys think early on here.

Fingers crossed! In first place in this league with Reggie Wayne, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, and Ronnie Brown on BYE. Hopefully I can sneak out a win!

I have Slaton and Rice going today but didn't have much choice. I'm a little nervous about Rice, especially now they're down by 14 and hope they do some screen passes to him. (PPR league).

I went with Slaton over Rice since we (VIKES!) haven't given up a rushing TD yet this season. Let's hope Houston figures out who to give the ball to on the goal line.

Bang! Slaton 38 yd TD reception.

[Swimbait2009]

Ditto on the dancing chicken!

Gotta say I'm confused with Ravens running plan. Pounding the middle with McGahee is not their best play. Screen passes to Rice to the left (with Jared Allen rushing in) should produce some opportunities. Slow down the pass rush, open the field for some completions to Todd Heap and then Rice can dance it to the outside on the right.

To be honest, with Rice on the bench and being a Vikes fan, I'm pretty pleased with the way it's working out!

Made a ton of points on that last Ravens drive, thanks to many defensive errors on the Vikings. Screen passes to Ray Rice and a nice pass to Mason!

[Swimbait2009]

Yeah that was a rough drive for us. How many times did we jump offside? That's not good at home...

[LMITOUT]

Bang! Sugar Ray Rice!

[Swimbait2009]

hmmmm...plenty more points for you there on that drive too! Our defense is struggling when left on the field too long.

[LMITOUT]

Slaton has 102 yds receiving today!

[Swimbait2009]

Gotta like that! What I don't like is coach's man-crush on Chris Brown at the goal line. How many times does this guy have to fumble to convince them to go back to Slaton, who led the league in red-zone carries last year? Well, hopefully with the lead they've developed, they'll hit the ground game some more.

[Swimbait2009]

Wow! Talk about Rice and Mason lighting us up! Come on D!

[LMITOUT]

Not sure why I was so nervous about starting Ray Rice.

And then I get a Mason TD to top it off!

[LMITOUT]

See ya!!!!!!!!

Go Sugar Ray! Wow. High-steppin' to the endzone in style!

[Swimbait2009]

Man! This is not so good. We look flat as flat can be! Let's get inspired boys!
