Chiefs vs. Broncos Pre Game Gab

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 22:48:21 -0500

12 straight losses, a offense that can't get going and a defense that is falling apart. Not the most opportune time to be playing the hottest team in the NFL but that is exactly the task ahead of the Chiefs as they try to get back on track against the Broncos Sunday at Arrowhead. Quarterback Jay Cutler is off to one of the best starts in the league with 8 touchdowns to go with only 2 interceptions and the Broncos as a team are averaging 38 points per game. The one weakness that has been exposed on the undefeated Broncos is a defense that has trouble getting stops and got bailed out by some bad officiating calls. Herm Edwards has made the decision this week to go with QB Damon Huard as the starter, Herm stated he needed "someone to protect the football". Safe to say that may spell the end to the Tyler Thigpen experiment barring a injury a??..which is always a possibility with Huard. QB Brodie Croyle looks to be a t least another week away and may come back after the Chiefs bye week on October 19th. Huard has been in this position before it's his bread and butter, it's what he has done and excelled at in this league since year player serving as Dan Marino's backup. Keys to the game 1. Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr vs. the Broncos triplets: This one may be a lost cause, while both Flowers and Carr have both played well for being new to the NFL they maybe simply overmatched here. When the Chiefs played the Patriots who have Randy Moss and Wes Welker, Patrick Surtain was healthy and Tom Brady was not. Brandon Marshall has been on a roll since serving his one game suspension and went for 18 catches and 166 yards against a very good Chargers cornerback tandem. If the Chiefs roll their coverage to double team Marshall rookie receiver Eddie Royal has proven he is also a force to be reckoned with and can burn a defense, Royal did light a pair of Pro Bowl corners up in Oakland to the tune of 9 catches for 146 yards. Broncos QB Jay Cutler is having his breakout season with these two receivers and the Chiefs will be hard pressed to stop them. 2.Keep Larry Johnson rolling: It is very simple with the style of football the Chiefs play if you can run the football and control the clock you can win the game. Last week Johnson had his first 100 yard game of the season and seems to have broken out of his slump. The main objective for the Chiefs and more specifically Chan Gailey against the Broncos is to find more running plays the Chiefs can execute. Last week Johnson did get his yards, but a majority of the successful ones were tosses to the right side. You cannot run the same play consistently two weeks in a row in the NFL and expect it to work coaches study film and defenses adapt. The Chiefs have a winning record when Larry Johnson goes for over a hundred yards , the Broncos one weak link has been their defense. Larry Johnson has not had this favorable of a matchup all season and he needs to capitalize and carry the Chiefs to victory. 3.Protect Damon Huard: The Chiefs morale just simply cannot take another loss especially at home in front of their fans. That is why Damon Huard is back in the lineup he may not be the QB of the future But he gives the Chiefs the best chance to win and the young players around him the best chance to develop. Huard can be very effective when given time in the pocket to find holes in the defense. One thing Huard cannot do is make plays on the run and scramble around. If he starts to take hit some hits Huard could aggravate one of his numerous injuries and thrust Tyler Thigpen back into the lineup. Denver's defense is soft and if Huard is given time he is a intelligent enough QB to the pick their defense apart. Injury report: QB:Brodie Croyle- Shoulder, out CB: Pat Surtain- Shoulder, out LB: Donnie Edwards- Ankle, out KR: B.J. Sams - Hamstring, questionable Broncos Report DT: John Shaw- Groin, out RB: Ryan Torian- Elbow, out WR: Darrell Jackson- Calf, questionable DT: Dewayne Robertson- Knee, questionable Weather report One could not ask for better game weather kickoff at Arrow head will be 75 degrees and sunny with a six mile per hour southern breeze. Final Score: Chiefs 28 Broncos 24 I know the Broncos have superior talent and are the hottest team in the NFL and the Chiefs are spiraling but the Broncos are a young team and may not know how to handle their new found success. The Chiefs are as desperate as it gets and a desperate team can be a scary one. The Chiefs will throw every thing they have at the Broncos on Sunday they have no other choice. Look for the Chiefs to try to throw a lot of blitz packages at Jay Cutler to try and get in his face and rattle him a little bit. If the Chiefs can't slow down the Broncos arial attack the Chiefs will have no hope but if the Broncos over look the Chiefs they could be reminded that on any given Sunday any body can beat anybody

Week 4 Fantasy Injury Report

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 21:54:20 -0500

The Counselor is IN:

Here are the Week 4 fantasy injuries and my commentary.

Cardinals:
TE Jerame Tuman is questionable with a hamstring injury. He has not practiced on Wednesday. He is the third string guy so he has not fantasy value.

WR Steve Breaston has a hamstring injury and is probable. He is the third receiver for the Cardinals. He has limited value unless Boldin or Fitzgerald gets injured. His value of a return man may be in jeopardy.

Falcons:
RB Michael Turner is probable with a foot injury. He fully practiced on Thursday. He is an every week starter. Start him unless something changes.

WR Laurent Robinson has a sprained knee and is out for week 4. He has limited to no fantasy value.

Ravens:
QB Troy Smith is out with tonsil issues. He has lost a bunch of weight since he started battling these issues. He has lost the starting job which he was about to win in training camp. He isquestionable and the tonsils continue to haunt him. He has gained some of the weight back. It may be too late for him to get a chance to start at QB.

RB Willis McGahee has a cut on his eye lid and is listed as probable. What?!? A cut on the eye lid. McGahee is now sharing carries so that will affect him more than a cut on the eye lid.

Bills:
TE Derek Fine has a thumb injury and is out. He is coming back from thumb surgery. He should not be on your fantasy team.

WR Roscoe Parrish is out after having surgery on his thumb . He is out 4 to 6 weeks.

Panthers:
WR Ryne Robinson has a knee injury and is questionable. He is down deep on the depth chart. He practiced on Thursday and should play this weekend. He should not be starting for your team even for off weeks.

RB Jonathan Stewart is probable with a foot injury. He will play this weekend and is a good game against the Falcons.

Bears:
WR Devin Hester has a rib injury with torn cartilage and is questionable. He was limited in practice on Thursday. Check on him before starting him this weekend. There are a lot of expectations about Hester having a break out year as a receiver. He is still developing.

WR Brandon Lloyd is questionable with a sore hip. He missed practice on Thursday.

Bengals:
RB Kenny Watson is probable with an hamstring injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday.

TE Ben Utecht has a sternum injury and is probable. He has been limited in practice this week.

Browns:
WR Donte Stallworth has a quad injury and is questionable for Sunday. He limited in practice on Thursday. He will be a game time decision.

WR Joe Jurevicius is out until October with a knee injury.

WR Braylon Edwards has a shoulder injury and is probable. He is expected to play this weekend.

Cowboys:
WR Sam Hurd is probable with a high ankle sprain. He fully practiced on Thursday. It looks like he should be back this weekend.

RB Felix Jones has a calf strain and is probable. He is expected to play Sunday and bring his big play ability with him.

Broncos:
RB Ryan Torain is out with a dislocated elbow. He will be out for a while.

WR Darrell Jackson has a calf injury and is listed as questionable for this weekend.

Lions:
Off Week 4

Packers:
RB Kregg Lumpkin has a hamstring injury and is questionable. He did not practice on Thursday. This rookie is third on the depth chart. He brings limited value.

WR James Jones is probable with a knee injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday.

Texans:
WR Kevin Walter is probable with a toe injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday.

RB Ahman Green has an ankle injury and is questionable. He was limited in practice on Thursday. He has lost his starting job to Slaton so his value is very limited.

Colts:
Off Week 4

Jaguars:
WR Troy Williamson is questionable with a thigh injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday.

RB Fred Taylor has a hand injury and is probable for this weekend. He practiced fully on a limited basis on Thursday. He should play this weekend.

RB Maurice Jones-Drew is probable with an ankle injury. He did not practice on Thursday. I believe he will play this weekend but he might be limited with the ankle injury.

Chiefs:
No significant fantasy injuries.

Dolphins:
Off Week 4

Vikings:
RB Chester Taylor is probable with a foot injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday. He should be ready to play.

WR Sidney Rice is probable with a knee injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday. .

RB Adrian Peterson has a hamstring injury and is probable. He was limited in practice but does not have any tightness in the hamstring. He will be ready to play this weekend.

Saints:
WR Dave Patten has a groin pull and is questionable. He did not practice on Thursday.

WR Marques Colston is 2 to4 weeks with a torn ligament in his thumb. He had surgery on his thumb. This fantasy stud will not be available for a while.

RB Aaron Stecker has a hamstring injury and is questionable to play this weekend. He was limited in practice this week. Stecker has limited value.

TE Mark Campbell is questionable with an hamstring injury. He did not practice on Wednesday.

TE Jeremy Shockey is out for 3 to 6 weeks after a sports hernia surgery.

Patriots:
Off Week 4

Giants:
Off Week 4

Jets:
WR Laveranues Cole has a thigh injury and is questionable. He was limited in practice this week. I would keep him on your bench this weekend. Favre does need a healthy Coles against a desperate Chargers team but I am not convinced he will have him.

K Mike Nugent is listed as out for this week.

QB Brett Favre has an ankle injury and is probable. He continues to practice more every day. He will start this weekend.

Raiders:
RB Darren McFadden has a toe injury and is probable. He was limited on practice on Thursday. He is expected to start on Sunday.

Seahawks:
Off Week 4

49ers:
WR Bryant Johnson has a hamstring injury and is questionable. He will be a game time decision.

Week 3 Fantasy Injury Report

NFL News and Fantasy Football Views - Week 3

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:53:06 -0500

Don't worry people, Bruno Boys Larry and Bruno Boys Ziza did not hang themselves after the very disappointing 48-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers in which the Detroit Lions led with just a few minutes left in the game! Yes, that is what I said, just a few minutes left in the game! That is truly amazing, but nothing that we haven't gone through before. Disappointment is a way of life for the true die-hard Lions fan, and that is why we don't want you to feel the same agony as us. That is why we will be discussing the following topics, Darren McFadden's great Week 2, Jay Cutler's great Week 2, LaDanian Tomlinson's taboo injury as well as Larry Johnson's dissatisfaction with the Kansas City Chiefs organization, that way we can help bring you a better shot at winning in Week 3! ------------------------ RED HOT NFL Newz: Jay Cutler led the Broncos to a come from behind win over the San Diego Chargers. Cutler had 350 yards passing with four touchdowns and 1 interception. With two good weeks in the books has Cutler become a must start fantasy QB? BBL Viewz: Actually Ziza 3 weeks ago, I would have said no way. I would have figured we were at least one year away from Jay Cutler possibly having consistent fantasy value. He did show signs in 2007 when he threw for 3,497 yards with 20 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, but he did not show the consistency it takes to be a top fantasy QB. I realize that we are only talking about the first two weeks of the season, but I think he is showing guts and leadership and I think he has arrived as QB1 option cable of being a starter week in and week out.
