I award 10 points per position, being divided between the opposing players based on their skill and talent. Critique away.
RB - Holmes vs. Lamont Jordan - Jordan may be a decent runner, but he'd be a third-stringer on the Chiefs. 8/2
FB - Richardson vs. Zack Crockett - Crockett's a good fullback. Richardson's an all-pro with a dinged-up knee/ankle. 5/5
QB - Green vs. Kerry Collins - My god. Did you SEE Collins last week? 9/1
WR - Kennison vs. Randy Moss - Okay, Moss wins this battle, even if Kennison is doing well for us. 2/8
WR - Parker vs. Jerry Porter - Parker is doing well, but Porter is more proven. 2/8
TE - Gonzalez vs. Courtney Anderson. Anderson is enormous (270 lbs.) and had two short TDs last week, but he's no Gonzalez. 8/2.
LT - Black vs. Barry Sims - Sims is more proven, even though Black has more upside. 3/7
LG - Waters vs. Langston Walker - Waters wins, but Walker is a hay-eater at 6-8, 345. 7/3
C - Wiegman vs. Jake Grove - Grove was a high-draft rookie last year. He's no Wiegman, who is playing great. 6/4
RG - Shields vs. Brad Badger - Shields vs. a career journeyman. 9/1
RT - Sampson vs. Robert Gallery - Gallery gets points for a pedigree at the moment, though we'll see how he performs in the long run. He hasn't bowled anyone over yet. 3/7
K - Tynes vs. Sebastian Janikowski - The rapist wins this battle. 1/9
P - Colquitt vs. Shane Lechler - Colquitt is very, very impressive, but he's taking on the best in the league. Maybe he'll pass him at some point, but Lechler gets seniority right now. 3/7
KR - Hall vs. Alvis Whitted (KR)/Chris Carr (PR) - Whatever. Hall wins. 8/2
FS - Wesley vs. Stuart Schweigert - I have no idea. 5/5
SS - Knight vs. Derrick Gibson - I hear that Gibson is a big disappointment. 6/4
CB - Surtain vs. Charles Woodson - Frankly, I'd rather have Surtain. 6/4
CB - McCleon vs. Nnamdi Asomugha - Apparently Asomugha spent most of the week getting skin grafts. He's still a first-round choice, though. 4/6
OLB - Johnson vs. Tyler Brayton - What the heck are they doing? A 280-lb defensive end at linebacker???? 9/1
OLB - Bell vs. Grant Irons - What they heck are they doing? A 285-lb defensive end at the other linebacker???? 9/1
MLB - Mitchell vs. Danny Clark - Clark is a proven pro, albeit nondesript. Mitchell is starting to play like a mid-round draft pick, and maybe will play like a second-round pick at some point. 3/7
DE - Hicks vs. Bobby Hamilton - Both are proven vets. Hamilton is a little more proven. 4/6
DE - Wilkerson vs. Tommy Kelly - A couple of big young backups both getting starts. 5/5
DT - Browning vs. Ted Washington - Washington is a big fat tub of goo, but he's hard to move in the running game. Browning is an enigma. 3/7
DT - Dalton vs. Warren Sapp - Keep Sapp and give me Dalton. 6/4
Total talent ratio:
Offense: Chiefs 62, Raid ers 48
Special Teams: Chiefs 12, Raid ers 18
Defense: Chiefs 60, Raid ers 50
This could be a closer game than I first thought. The Chiefs are a superior team, though.
