Got a question for you IDP people. You know who you are?

[The Foot]

Who would u start if u could only start one OLB.

Dummervile
Tamba Hali
James Harrison
Lammar Woodly

Sorry I haven't
been around a lot lately have some other things going on.

I wouldn't start Dumervil against Peyton.

The next three have pretty good matchups. If it was the 2012 Bears, I'd be all over whoever is playing them, but this is 2013, and the Bears O-line might be better, so...

I'd sit Harrison in the Windy City.

Real toss up between Hali and Woodley. On one hand, Gabbert doesn't know how to read a defense, so he might be sacked a handful of times. On the other hand, Locker is erratic, but can probably scramble away from trouble better than Gabbert.

So I would start Hali.

I'd be all over starting Dummervil against his old team...theres bad blood there.

I don't know Treff, Peyton isn't sacked very often, bad blood or good blood.

Just one of those gut feelings that I'd act on

 

[averagejoe]

TKO brings up some valid points but if "emotion" is a factor, I'd have to side with Treff on this. Can't just look at sacks either. Dumerville I'm sure will be psyched to have a few stuffs, tackles for no gain, and maybe a batted ball.

What's the scoring system for your IDP, foot?

 

[The Foot]

Sox it's 2 points for tackles 1 point for assisted tackles and the whopper 5 points for sacks.

TKO I see where you are coming from thus the reason for this post. My thinking before hearing some of your guy's feedback was along that of Treff's mind set and now it seems Joe's too. I think Treff said it best. It's a feeling! With both Treff and Joe on board and I all ready leaning that way I am full speed ahead with Dummerville. TKO thanks for trying to be the voice of reason. Treff and Joe thanks for the push I needed to invest whole heartedly in the passion element. Wish me luck, and thanks good gents, good luck to you all tonight as well in all your leagues.

Just one more point: TKO is right, Peyton is great at reading defenses. But this is game 1. The best footage that may be available is either footage from last season, or game 3 of the preseason (both of which may be meaningless). Think the Ravens have 8 new starters on D. This may be the game to mess with Manning's reads.

 

[Sox33OSU]

Another point in Elvis' favor is Peyton adjusting to a new center. I know it's not monumental, but anything like that can screw with a new QB.

That said, I'd go with Harrison. Their LB depth is low so he's gonna be out there a lot, and I could see him racking up tackles there.

 

[The Foot]

Sox that's a great point!

 

[The Foot]

Sox i love the 4-3 Harrison is in and I agree he should fair well against the bears but I am going to stick with dummerville.

 

[The Foot]

Thanks all!

I don't think you can really go wrong either way, bud. Good luck!

Well Foot, I tried to warn ya... Joe, I don't think it's about Peyton's film study when it comes to reading an active defense, live, and getting it to the open man.

Hey Foot, don't feel bad, I dropped Julius Thomas on Wednesday to pick up E.J. Manuel! Sometimes I do terrible things at terrible times for which I really have no justification.

?? 9 pts for Dumm's under that scoring. . sure not great, but nothing to laugh at.

 

[TKOSpikes]

damn, my apologies.... that Dumy sack totally went right over my head... sorry guys, now I feel like an ass!

even more so than I did (Julius) a minute ago...

cheers

In the IDP league I'm in, Dumerville only scored 3.5 points. He had his chances - heck the Ravens D was on the field most of the game!

I'm not apologizing for favoring Dumerville. Looked like a favorable matchup. And we still don't know how the other matchups will fair yet.

 

[The Foot]

Treff and Joe, thanks for the advice men. I know no can say for sure but it was nice to have you guys there to reinforce my feelings and it could very well work out that Dummerville was the best otion but even if not thanks for the input!
