McAllister, Thomas, or Henry??

Who to start?

Chicago and NO are playing each other in Chicago. Buffalo is playing Denver.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I'd start McCallister..... CHI just lost DT Ted Washington for the year. The guy's a 4-time probowler and protects Urlacher like: Sapp does for DBrooks.... Goose did for RLewis.... Smerlas did for CorneliusBennett and Talley yeasr ago. CHI already lost a couple of def. starters for some time earlier this year. That they can handle... this one they won't be able to handle.... NO has so many weapons that CHI can't put too many men in a box up front... DMCCalister can go between the tackles or outside... I'd start him also given the matchups those other RB's have in front of them.

Boone (6'4", 325) will be starting in place of Washington (6'5", 365), so they'll still be able to handle the run. What Boone gives up in size, he makes up with more speed and quickess. Don't forget that Big Wash went down in the first quarter and Boone played almost the entire game, and they still shut down ATL (for the most part). I'd go with Thomas.

Don't even think about playing Henry vs. Denver's great run D.

I could use some more thoughts on this one.

For the record, I need to start two of these guys. Ugh!

I hate to say it, but I think I'd start the 2 guys playing each other, A-Train and Deuce. It's likely to be a high-scoring game and each will get at least one of those TD's. Henry is going up against a tough run D who shut down Faulk and Hearst.

BTW, the game is in Champaign and not Chicago...

Gotta go with McCallister and Thomas, although personally I hope McCallister has a terrible day...

Thanks, SolarfluX! You've been awesome with the advice.

But no bad vibe rooting against my Deuce!

stay away from henry. have you seen that denver run defense??? enough said. personally, unless henry is playing a horrible team, i would start deuce and a-train every week. they are bot guys who can score in every game.

[djmike]

go with McCallister denvers defense is strong!!!

Thanks, SolarfluX! You've been awesome with the advice.

Nothing personal against you, but personal for me in that Deuce is going up against my homeboys...
