interesting...

i wouldn’t have thought hightower would have more receptions than breaston. i guess we can look for some screen passes. also, this stephens-howling character looks like a daren sproils type speedy back who could also be getting some looks out of the backfield. they didnt use him or TE doucet all that much during the regular season, but vs the packers, when too much attention was payed to fitz and breaston (can there be too much?), warner looked for the big TE and feisty little RB

yep

which ups the ante for Shanle and Fujita in coverage. Warner can be prone to mistakes if you smack him around a bit. All in all, we really need the A game from the entire D, that is for sure.

Doucet is a WR

Stephens-Howling is mostly a special teamer, kick returner and coverage, and yes he has been compared to Sproles. He is a rookie but has been amazing on kick coverages, also returned a kick off for a TD this year.

Doucet is 4th Wr on depth. Hightower has the most receptions for any RB this season.

I like it when he Howls

I have Doucet and Breaston both on my fantasy keeper league team. I betting Boldin will not be back next year. Also that he won’t play more than a snap or two on Saturday.

Actually... Ray Rice is #1 in receptions by a RB, but damn....

I never knew Hightower had so many. :-O

Rice had 78 receptions; Hightower was #2 with 63 receptions.

Thankfully, Hightower’s Yards Per Catch is fairly low @ 6.8 yards/catch. He has the lowest YPC of the top 5 RB pass catchers.

Calculators Beware

This game will be a ton of fun. Screw FOX for sending their “A” team to the Cowboys and Vikings game. All the drama will be in Minneapolis, but all the excitement in the NFC will be in N’awlins.

Think of the Fox decision is a reward, not an insult.

Even Fox realizes that it would be a little too weird for Troy using a lot of air time talking about Tony Romo having recently developed such great leadership abilities during a playoff game not involving the Cowboys. If the Vikings win, we may get a another break in the NFC Championship game also as Troy will probably go into such a deep funk he might not be able to get out of bed for several weeks.

Yeah... It's a gift.

If Troy covered our game, he’d be talking about how we lost to the Girls throughout the entire game.

Are we going to get the A-holes that covered the Redskins game? I was/am totally ticked off that they were actively cheering for the Skins. When Meachem stripped that ball and ran it in for a TD, you could hear one of ’em say “AWWWWWW” very loudly, twice.
