Steve Slaton To Start On Monday Night

From John McClain (with a tip o' the cap to texanphil):

"I had an assumption that I would start, but nothing was concrete until now," Slaton said after being told by coach Gary Kubiak that he would be starting. "I'm happy about it. It's an opportunity I have to take full advantage of."

It probably goes without saying, but I like this move a whole lot. Ryan Moats got the start in Indianapolis because of Slaton's fumbling; Slaton responded by holding onto the ball when he saw the field, and Moats helped Slaton's cause by fumbling himself. While it's hard to imagine that Kubes will stick with Slaton should the fumbling problem return, this is the right move. Here's to Steve Slaton turning back the clock to 2008 on Monday night.

Um great but I am finally starting other people in my FF teams.

This decision was a few weeks late.

“"That didn’t come from me," Johnson said after practice Saturday. "I wish he hadn’t said what he said, but that’s his opinion. I make my own decisions, and I plan on being here until I retire.”

"An open mind is like a fortress with it's gates unbarred and unguarded."

props to Slaton

its on him, lets see how he handles it.

He’s our playmaker, and I feel great about Moats in RB2, since I kinda like his style on 1st and 2nd downs better anyway.

While I prefer Slaton over Moats,

as long as Brown stays on the bench I don’t care who starts, even though I do have Slaton on my FF teams.

Me too

And I am going to bench him so that there is no pressure, because clearly his problems have been a product of my fantasy league trying to keep me down.

The question is then

how many Arian Foster sightings do you think we’ll see

I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.

by The Night Owl on Nov 21, 2009 10:22 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Less than 5. Arian Foster is #4 on the depth chart. Prop bets anyone?
over/under carries by A. Foster = 5 over/under Slaton fumbles = 1.
I’ll take the under on both.

by Texan Dan on Nov 22, 2009 8:26 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

9

because hes a bigger back and we will need to convert some 3rd and shorts on the ground and 9 is a nice big number but not too big

by Draco on Nov 21, 2009 10:54 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

if its close

no way Foster touches the ball.

If we’re up or down a few, I can see this scenario (short yardage Foster) playing out.

Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.

Agree....

I think he gets at least one 3rd down carry.

I play real sports...Not try to be the best at exercising.
