Very true.
I have Sproles in my dynasty league. I'm tempted to start him over Latavius Murray - but I think Oakland is gong to wallop the Browns today.
For me if its a close between a guy who is playing the Jets and a guy who isn't, I'll always start the guy who isn't.
If its a no brainer to start the Jets opponent I will, but not if its a close call.
When Sproles is in there you know its either a pitch or a throw. He isn't used on straight handoffs as much. Helps to identify things quicker. Stopping him will be the problem with our slow LB's.

I really think the Jets SHOULD win this game. I don't think it will be an indication of truly how good the Jets are. I don't think the Jets have been tested that way yet this season. They've faced two completely dysfunctional teams in back to back weeks and one team that could not hold on to the football.
But just the same, a win is a win is a win. We'll take it. We'll be 3-0 and that is one hell of a transformation from last season at this point. At this point last season, the Jets were 1-1, soon to be 1-8 or 1-9 before they actually won another game. That was terrible.
I think the first time the Jets get tested is next week against Miami. Miami is not playing good football right now, but they will have things ironed out by the time they face us in London. Miami is actually altogether a better team on paper than the Jets. Our defense is better, but there defense and overall personnel is better as a team than us.

With all due respect, I don't believe this game tests how disciplined the Jets defense is. See my post.

I just have a feeling that Coples with have a monster game today. Here's to hoping!

Actually, they were talking about on ESPN. The Jets give up the 12th highest percentage of completions to RB's. That's the Jets defensive Achilles heal. So, a guy like Sproles catching passes out of the backfield tends to be rather effective against us. However, that's all underneath stuff. If it's already 3rd and long? I like our chances at preventing them from getting a 1st. On 1st and 2nd down, they will need their RB's to stay home and help block.
I think the fact that we're paying Miami in London is good for us. Bowles will have the team ready and focused.
Imagine if it was Rex Ryan taking the Jets to London. It'd be an all-night pub crawl in Piccadilly Circus.
"Now, let's go eat some god damn fish 'n chips!"
That's fine, but allow me to clarify. I believe that Miami has better personnel that Phily. My previous statement is in regard to the uptempo pace the Eagles will attempt today. When you factor in crowd noise when our defense is on the field, it will be a challenge to communicate adjustments and disguises.
We have the worst punter in football and there's not even a close second.
How this man is still our punter is mystifying too me.

Are you kidding me Davis.
D needs to tackle better!
Slow start, but I like how they tightened up inside the 10 and forced Philly to settle for 3
Not good. Not good at all.

Wideouts not doing a good job with the markers.
The Eagles look the way I expected them to look, like a desperate team. Anyone who expected the same Eagles team that got steamrolled verses Dallas last week doesn't understand how this league works.
We'll need real intensity to win this game.
And we look a lot worse than I expected.
