CQI13 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 <p>As a quick aside on that, living in South Florida, it gets tiresome when it keeps getting brought up. What is it, almost 40 years ago? Most of the people who bring it up weren't even around back then. One that gets a pass is one of the afternoon drive hosts, since he actually played on that team. But even then, enough. Hahaha. </p><p> </p><p> More on topic, who is the most impressive/gamebreaking rookie/young player in the game? Percy Harvin? Darren McFadden? Heyward Bey (just kidding!)? Ugh...5 more days to wait.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CQI13 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Do you keep trying to go deep? Or still using the TE/MJD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I try to open up the offense and actually utilize Holt, or any of my WR for that matter, it's almost always picked off. Even if it looks like they have space....</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CQI13 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Does the defense adjust to your offense (like it sort of did in NCAA)? With the run opening up the pass or vice versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris caulfield Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 With Minnesota I play on my skill and I have to say I'm not having the problems you guys are having as I am able to both run and pass the ball. I do throw alot of picks, but that is because my QB sucks and can't throw deep so I play to his strengths which are throwing the short ball and then go for YAC which is easy with the Vikings recievers.

chris caulfield Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 No I haven't played with Farve yet as I started the franchise before the roster update so I signed Graham Harrell when they had him in the free agents (he's gone now as he signed with a CFL team).

Comradebot Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Awesome... Steven Jackson just herniated his disk in my game, so he's done for the regular season. Ironically, my only chance at him playing again would be in the playoffs, which I can probably only reach WITH Steven Jackson. Next week: Kyle Boller and Antonio Pittman start against the 1-5 Lions.

Can you say "Cripple Fight!!!!"? I thought I was in the same boat as you (as it pertains to your main offense threat being hurt) as I'm 4-3 right now and that's ONLY because of Maurice Jones Drew (and Mercedes Lewis) carrying me the entire way. Jones was injured in my last game... but luckily.. It wasn't anything to serious and he's back for my next weeks game. My heart dropped when I saw him hurt though. haha. So I can't imagine how crazy it has to feel to both have your QB and now your RB out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris caulfield Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well atleast they made the Lions realistic. Crap team with one awesome reciever. I feel really bad for Johnson and I hope he lands on a half decent team when his rookie contract ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
