no question.

I might actually go with Bell. What the hell, right?

Unless your opponent for this week looks pretty strong, I’d probably stick with what you have already. I think the Packers D will be better than expected and will somewhat limit Forte’s production this week. I’m counting on them to menace Jay “Crybaby” Cutler all game long. I’m also hoping the Saints D will shut down Smith. They looked pretty good most of the preseason at stopping the run. Benson will probably be a good play against the Broncos in a home game. In one league, I’m trying to decide if I should play Bell or Darren Sproles as my RB2 this weekend. I’m leaning Bell. In another, I have Pierre Thomas, so I’m definitely going Bell in that one. It’s either him or Larry Johnson, and I don’t see Johnson doing anything against the Ravens.

if you go down, go down with our boy, not theirs. That’s how I look at it. I mean if it was AP vs. Bell that’s a different ballgame, but if it’s close….I’m taking Black and Gold.

with Smith, just because he’s bound to be involved in the passing game. If the Saints throw to a back, it will be Bush. If the Bengals throw to a back, it will be Leonard. I see a lot of “everything but the kitchen sink” blitzes by the Saints and that could lead to a sizeable gains on screens. Hell, even when they weren’t 100% committed to pressure, they’ve had problems containing designed flares and check offs to opposing backs. Forte’s a lock, obviously.

he better be ready come sunday… all his “this is the best i’ve felt in years” talk better produce!

at least we have a decent backup option?

opposing TEs had SOOO much space

and I think that’s the way it should be. Unfortunately, sometimes Payton doesn’t always agree with you and I Phil.

I don’t want brandon pettigrew having a good coming out party

Downhome southern skepticism at its finest.

making sure none of us get too excited.
