will the deuce break loose?

Plus Deuce is get the protectice boot off this week b/c he feels it detracts from his speed, expect a pretty solid game vs. a rejuvenated San Diego D this week.

I'm going with Deuce and M. Faulk this week coming off byes. Have started Deuce all year and have been pretty happy with his numbers especially past few weeks. SD does have the best rush D so that is a slight concern but I think Deuce will get decent yardage and get in endzone once or twice.

Deuce may wind up dissappointing this year to people who drafted him 5th or 6th overall, but there's no way you can even consider not starting him, and he should be a solid play from here on out.

I think we're missing the fact that the name of this thread is...interesting.

Deuce is still hurting, but he's a good RB. At least he has been getting some TD's in his last few games! His total yard figures might be down from last year, but he's still in there plodding away. Hopefully he doesn't do more damage to himself than what is already there.

I like him after the bye.... I was going to sit him for M. Moore if Moore would of had a strong game against the Giants. Duece should be back to normal without the protective boot and if he does have a big game against SD, then look out!

He's been pretty much a wasted first-round pick, as far as I'm concerned. I'm sitting him this week and going with Jamal at home v. Browns and Droughns at home v. Houston.

If Deuce is an ace, fine ... he can start next week.

Again, wtf is going on today? Its like the twilight zone since Dubbaya got re-elected.

Yes, he did have trouble getting the ypc against Oakland, but two TDs in each of the last 2 games... what more do you want?

I only have one problem with this...he had a hard time against Oakland getting yards.Isn't Oakland right around last in rushing D?And isn't SD near the top in rushing D?I'm never advocating sitting your stud,but if you do have 2 other good backs it makes it tough.So to answer the question"Will the Deuce break loose",I'd say this week the answer is no.Overall,he will make you happy you didn't trade him.So in the long run,the answer is yes.
