No, not rooting, just saying the only shot I have is if they go down. Im projected at 100 points so most likely I will end up at 70 lolRooting for injuries? Karma is real.
So you need a TE? Im listening... lolOK so now that I didn't get him why just drop Winslow? He is real nice trade bait.
Should I just assume it was bridges? lolLol I don't look at positions. I actually don't mind Carlson but of course I would listen to anything. I just for the life of me can't understand dropping Winslow. Seems almost lazy.
I understand if a guy is a disappointment but he's a name player who has shown in the past that he can turn it on. Would you have just dropped him? I know I would have been shopping him to any owner who looked like he needed a TE and I know I didn't get a PM lol. And dangit Yoccos you've already got 2 good TE's!!!!I think Gasman dropped him. But the guy has not been scoring outside of a week or two, and just like you said you dont mind Carlson, its hard to trade a TE unless in a package.
So is Shockey by the way, and he has outscored him in every single week. Yet nobody wanted Shockey until I could package him with other good players. The truth is with TEs, is it is like QBs. With the exception 3 or so, most are interchangeable and only 16 start each week in our league. It would be very hard to trade one outside of the big 2-3 in my opinion.I understand if a guy is a disappointment but he's a name player who has shown in the past that he can turn it on.

For some reason I see Shockey as just an injury waiting to happen. I know Winslow has seen IR time as well but Shockey ends up there every year. I love Shockeys potential though. If he had no injury concerns I would be all over him. Plus package Winslow with someone else could make for an attractive offer. This is by the way not meant to slam whoever dropped him. Just discussing.So is Shockey by the way, and he has outscored him in every single week. Yet nobody wanted Shockey until I could package him with other good players.

Check out the last few years and see who has missed more time. Also see who has scored more points. Shockey has also outscored him this year repeatedly. He is also on a pass happy offense compared to a team that has a bad offense and when they do throw is to their rookie WRs. Winslow will have decent games here and there, but many weeks could get you the 2 catches for 27 yards.For some reason I see Shockey as just an injury waiting to happen.

It might be a perception thing. Because in Tampa, Winslow is known as the guy that misses a quarter or two in every single game.Pretty much even I believe but I think Shockey has consistently missed more time. Again it's probably just a perception thing for me. I know Winslow had that weird season of an illness and motorcycle accident(think that happened the same season, rookie year?) Think he missed a bunch of games a couple of seasons ago. But he's had full seasons as well. Shockey just seems(again probably just my perception of him) to be banged up all season long.
No question. That was a few years ago though...hahaI can definitely believe that. I lived in NY when Shockey was a Giant. Dude came to training camp banged up and just never seemed to get better. That is probably why I feel that way about him. I will give it to him that he plays through injuries though.
I agree with you Yoccos. Our plan is always to draft a lot of depth, acquire depth early, and then trade that depth for stars when we can. I dont want to have to decide which guy to play this week. I want to have a clear cut #1 and #2. Then our bench is used to plug holes if an injury occurs or bye week. Having a really strong bench gets you absolutely no where, unless you acquire better players from it in my opinion.Lol. I did take him! He is my bench guy. Here is how I look at things, I have Keller and Gonzo. To me I hate having to decide who I want to start. If I pick one over the other and the other has a big game, I get frustrated. I like to leave the frustration out of FF. I like to have my starters set and use my bench to fill in holes.
I've had a few things going around and I definitely have a plan. I would have loved to pick up Vincent Jackson buuuuuuuuuut I think trading one of my really good TE's with another player would net me more I could use now than Vincent. I'm in a win now or else mode, which kinda sucks. Vincent IMO will be great during the playoff run if everything works out, which I think it will.

About time. I checked earlier and it still hadn't gone through.Well the Rodgers/DJ,etc. trade went through, still waiting on the hightower/kuhn one to go through, it should have already taken place by now. Unless my internet is just lagging that far behind, which would not surprise me.
