Drop G. Bernard for B. Brown?

Dante84 · 09-09-2013, 06:35 PM

Should I?

I am murdering my league. Outscored the nearest person by 40. I'm deep.

I have the luxury of taking a gamble in this 12 team league.

Here's my thinking: Bernard didn't do shit this week and law firm is the go-to guy. With as many plays as Philly is running, there is no way McCoy can handle 30-40 carries per game. If they get up, Brown will play. If McCoy gets tired, Brown will play. If the defense is tired when Brown gets in, he will rape.

Thoughts?

I would not cut Bernard. I'm sure you can cut someone else.

Matthew Stafford Det - QB - Did well
Reggie Wayne Ind - WR - Killed it
Dwayne Bowe KC - WR - sucked
Wes Welker Den - WR - Killed it
Reggie Bush Det - RB - Killed it
Darren Sproles NO - RB - Did well
Vernon Davis SF - TE - Killed it
Desean Jackson PHI - Flex - Killing it

Phil Dawson SF - K - Did Well
San Francisco SF - DEF - Will Kill it

BENCH
Giovani Bernard Cin - RB - Sucked
Lamar Miller Mia - RB - Sucked, but a starter
Jordy Nelson GB - WR - Killed it
Joe Flacco Bal - QB - Decent Back up
Emmanuel Sanders Pit - WR - Mediocre, but maybe trade bait
Kenbrell Thompkins NE - WR - Sleeper for later in the year

Also, trying to acquire C. Kaepernick via trade with one guy..... I've offered Stafford + Bowe, he countered with Stafford + Welker, I countered with Stafford + Bowe + Sanders, and now I'm waiting.

Was trying to get JC for a bunch of shit that I'm glad he rejected. At one point I was offering Jackson + Nelson + Sanders + Bernard for Charles. (The guy's team is shit as we did an auction and it auto picked AP, JC, and Martin 1,2,3. Everyone else on his team was purchased for $1). He needs help.

This ! Trade Lamar Miller for a need or depth you think you will have later on. You can tout he is a starter. Miami's O-line sucks !!

Bowe and Sanders won't cut it with him if he is a good player. He wants playmaker for playmaker and he see's Welker's stats shooting to the moon just like you !! Pitts O-line is shot and Ben won't have time to throw. AS hasn't established any kind of chemistry with Bowe and will take time. I think you are fine at QB though. Yeah everyone wants Kap but you will have to pay

Thompkins

Emmanuel Sanders has next to no value. Cut him. I doubt he's going to bridge the distance if this guy wanted Stafford and Welker for Kaep.

This. Cut Sanders before Bernard.

Cut one of your spare WRs like Emanuel Sanders or Kenbrell Thompkins instead of Bernard.

This plus this.

**ChiefGator** · 09-11-2013, 03:22 PM

That stuff that other people are saying above my post.. Do that...

Chiefshrink · 09-11-2013, 10:48 PM

Cut Sanders. The Pitt O-line is no more and Ben will be lucky to get a 3 step off.

rtmike · 09-14-2013, 03:57 AM

Pittsburgh's O Line used to be a big time weakness. But starting with the '10 draft the entire line was rebuilt with 1st & 2nd round picks. Ramon Foster wasn't drafted.

You are in somewhat of a pickle. (I always wanted to say that)
By the looks of things, E. Sanders is Pitt's #1 WR.

Thompkins didn't look too bad Thursday night. Of course he didn't looks too good either.

I also think this Bernard kid's gonna unseat the Law Firm by the end of the year.

Just had to add 2 more cents. Almost up to a nickel!
