Now I wish to start this post off by saying I’m a Seahawks fan. I’m not a loud-mouthed one nor am I looking at this game as any form of victory. The Rams whooped their butts and if they had any type of QB at the helm to run this offense more efficiently, Seattle would’ve/could’ve/should’ve lost this one. It was terrible on multiple facets but I’m gonna admit I came away impressed with a player from Saint Louis tonight. His name is Zac Stacy and he done good. Against one of the better defenses in the league, Stacy touted the rock 26 times for 134 yards. Not only was the volume night to see but averaging 5.2 ypc against a defense that was typically only giving up 3.7 and had only given up 641 total on the year, which is good enough for 6th best in the league? Flex those pecs son, you owned this game. Now I’m gonna throw a comparison out there but keep in mind I’m horrible at these. At least my wife thinks so. I told her she looked like Anna Gunn from Breaking Bad. Seriously, I know she’s an annoying character but look past that, honey! The hair, the eyes, the smile. Sorry, it’s all there. Yes, I’ll sleep on the couch tonight…but where was I? Oh yeah, the comp. Now I’m not saying he is exactly this but I saw a bit of Ray Rice in how he ran the ball tonight. Big body between the tackles that can turn a 2 to 3 yard carry into a 5 to 6 yard one with a few wiggles and you barely see him do it. Keep in mind I’m talking strictly about how he runs. Not what he’ll do rest of season nor his future prospects but I will say I was thoroughly impressed. Here’s to hoping that ankle sprain at the end of the game is very minor. I’d love to see if Zac is an RB maniac. In other 2013 Fantasy Football news…
Golden Tate – That was immature of me. That’s Tate’s response to the ‘wave goodbye’ routine on his way to the end zone and the spike in someone’s face when he finally got there on an 80 yard TD. After 5/93/2 and that taunting penalty, I’m calling him The Golden Child. BTW, this is the last blurb that’ll contain fantasy goodness. It’s all downhill from here. Savor it.
Kellen Clemens – Funny how some sites abbreviate ‘QB rating’ to ‘QBRat’. That fits Clemens. Make no bones about it, the Rams weren’t in contention because of Kellen’s play (15/31 for 158 yards and 2 INT). When someone gives you Clemens, you try and make Clemenade but I’m pretty sure it’s just Kellen pee in a cup. Hey, STL, I hear that guy Tebow is still available…
Julius Thomas – Yeah, I’m bringing in news from wherever I can find it that’s not this game. Orange Julius does not have a high ankle sprain and should be good to go after his bye. Man, this game has drained me of all the good goofs I could have with mile high ankle sprain…I can’t even…
Daryl Richardson – Who called the Popo? We got a COP in this here backfield! *Crickets*…ok, fine be that way. D-Rich returned to his role of ‘the guy who runs the sweep and outside run plays’ and did well with it, tallying 49 yards on 8 carries while chipping in 1 catch for another 8. If Stacy is slowed or should miss any time, feel free to pick up D-Rich so he can sit on your bench. What I’m trying to tell you is even if he’s starting, you really shouldn’t be starting him unless you’re desperate.
Russell Wilson – He was sacked 7 times. That stat should tell you enough. I don’t remember a moment where Wilson had a nano-second to throw the ball. The Rams really brought it on defense tonight and I don’t think the ‘hawks had the best game plan given their offensive line issues. Some wondered how I could rank Wilson as the 15th best QB in my Weekly Rankings. All I can say is welp…don’t ask about my Vick ranking. Unless you’re asking if it will ever happen again. I can promise you I’m over it.
Marshawn Lynch – Some nights, I’m sure you wish you had 5 middle fingers. Thrice skipped at the goal line for not one but TWO QB bootlegs and a final dart to Golden that just barely crossed the plane…yeah, I don’t know what the Frankfurter Seattle thought they were doing tonight. After 8 carries for 23 yards, Lynch went and bought Skittlebrau to drown his sorrows.
Case Keenum – Will get the start for the Texans this week despite Schaub being healthy enough to play. Still need to watch some replay but in 2QB leagues, I’m officially interested. There’s a Case for Keenum in Houston, he says pretending it’s the first time such a pun has ever been used…
Chris Givens – This Fantasy write up is sadder than a drunk, one-legged clown. Stop making fun of Jon Gruden! I’m pretty sure he has both legs, imaginary reader. Givens totaled 75 yards with 4 for 59 through the air. You know, looking back at how good Bradford’s stats were, it’s hard to fathom how bad owning any Rams player could’ve been prior to this week. And now it’s Stacy or nothing. Hope for STL fans sakes they’ll get to drink in a World Series win because the remainder of this season feels like a hangover for the Rams.
