The road so far: 1) Jay Cutler RTG 94.4 1886 yards 14 TD's/7 INT's. 2) Kyle Orton RTG 92.5 890 yards 5 TD's/3 INT's Both Qb's starting and both over 90QBR. Score! 1) Donald Brown 59 for 126 yards. 2.1 avg. Disappointing move to San Diego. 2) Justin Forsett 87 for 503 yards. 5.8 avg. 3 TD's. Another 23 catches for 118 yards (5.1 avg). Score! 3) Dennis Johnson 49 for 183. 3.7 avg. 8 Catches for 46 yards. 4) Lorenzo Taliaferro 44 for 149. 4.5 avg. 2 TD's. 2 catches 18 yards. Hit and miss at running back but Forsett/Taliaferro give me a nice 1-2 punch. Wide Receiver 1) Nate Washington 13 catches for 169 yards 2) Julian Edelman 44 for 453 yards and 1 TD. 3) Eddie Royal 23 for 345 and 5 TD's. 4) Keshawn Martin 3 catches 28 yards. 5) Matt Hazel/Cody Hoffman I would probably be making a move by now to replace Nate Washington who isn't producing like I thought he would. Would need a 3rd WR to go with Edelman/Royal. 1) Garrett Graham 12 for 122 yards 2) Ryan Griffin 2 for 14 yards. 3) Jacob Pederson Kinda got screwed by the lack of TE use with Houston's new coaching scheme. Taylor Lewan is actually getting playing time after originally looking like he would be 2nd string all year. +6.9 PFF rating so far in 148 snaps. Top 12 PFF tackle Billy Turner/Dallas Thomas Turner being injured hurts as I really believe in that guy. Relying on a -5.9 Dallas Thomas hurts. Especially with meh Centers. Brian Schwenke playing like crap. Luckily still had Ben Jones who at least hasn't looked miserable out there and is a -0.4 at PFF (as opposed to the near -10 for Brian) Brandon Brooks Luckily I made it clear this player was a no trade option early on (despite some people giving me the eyebrow). Stalwart at RG. +5.3 PFF rating. Top 11 PFF guard. Mitchell Schwartz off to a better start than last year. +3.8 PFF rating. OL a bit shaky at Center/Guard but livable. Would probably be rotating in Quensenberry at this point until Turner was ready. 1) Ra'Shede Hageman 3 tackles. Rook getting barely any snaps with major talent in front of him. 2) Earl Mitchell 5.3 PFF rating 14 combined tackles. Stout vs the run at a fraction of Solial's cost + younger. 3) Brett Keisel 7 tackles, 1 INT. Old man keeps kicking. 1) Mike Daniels 18 tackles, 2.5 sacks. My trade coup of last year is still my trade coup of this year despite the much increased cost as everyone else clues into his talent. 11.4 PFF rating. 2) Stephon Tuitt 2 tackles -3.7 PFF rating. Young DT's got some growing to do from this years draft. 3) Tony McDaniel 14 tackles, 1 safety. NT 1): Ahtyba Rubin 13 tackles. Off to a rough start. 1) Calvin Pace 23 tackles 3.5 sacks 2) Khaseem Greene 17 tackles 1) Stephen Tulloch 20 tackles, 2 sacks. Nice start to season until injury 2) Josh Bynes 4 tackles 1) Junior Galette 22 tackles 4 sacks, safety 2) O'Brien Schofield 5 tackles 1) Alterraun Verner 33 tackles, 1 FF, 1 INT +5.0 PFF All that's going right in Tampa Bay 2) Sam Shields 14 tackles, 2 INT 6.1 PFF rating 3) Chris Harris Jr. (slot) 18 tackles 1 INT +10.3 rating 4) Johnathan Joseph 45 tackles, 2 FF Getting picked on some...needs to pick it up. 5) Jeremy Lane (slot) 4 tackles 1) Terrence Brooks 13 tackles -0.9 PFF 1) Glover Quin 31 tackles 3 INT's. +7.2 PFF rating (3rd) 2) Dawan Landry +3.3 PFF 59 tackles 1.5 sacks I think I did alright. Getting solid QB'ing combined with a good running game with a defense that has 3 of the top 11 PFF corners and a top 3 safety.
