I'm looking forward to Walter vs Gonzalez

[Bear Backer]

Some are already saying this could be a high scoring game, Who do you guys think will have the bigger day this week?I think it would be great to see two white white receivers leading their teams in receiving. When was the last time this happened in the NFL?Edited by: Bear Backer

I suspect that this will be a significant game for the Colts as they really need to get their act together and attempt to once again dominate their opponents-- they are not performing to the hype surrounding the team, nor to the expectations of the players, coaches or fans.

So in other words I think that Gonzalez will have a great game. I hope that Walter will repeat his performance of last week, but my gut tells me that he won't get so many looks.

Don't mean to be too negative, but I see the Colts trying everything possible to get the ball to Marvin Harrison, and the Texans force-feeding Andre Johnson.


The Texans especially are in the Caste-untenable position of having a white WR and white TE being their two best pass-catching threats so far. Andre Johnson has been annointed a "great" receiver and even though he dropped three passes in the endzone a couple of weeks ago, Houston will be in a near-panic mode for him to have a breakout game.


Gonzalez may be well down the foodchain in this one behind Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and Joseph Addai. Hope I'm wrong of course. Edited by: Don Wassall

I hope you are wrong about that too Don, but I can see your points and they are valid. Does anyone know when the last time 2 White Wide Receivers led their teams in receiving in the same game. I almost feel the NFL would be in panic mode should it occur. Edited by: Bear Backer

I'm sureit occurs occasionally, but it's not something the league or Richard Lapchick keeps track of.

Maybe in '99 if Green Bay played Carolina when Bill Schroeder and Patrick Jeffers both had big years, or maybe when Wayne Chrebet or Ed McCaffrey played against a team with a white receiver who was used a lot for a game.


If Bennett, Jureviciusand Curtis can get it going, and Welker, Jones, Walter, Gonzo, Nelson, Camarillo, Urbanand Stokley keep having varying levels of success, along with all the good white TEs, this could be a pretty good year for white pass catchers.

last season, week 13: Raiders vs Broncos

Stokley led the Broncos with 102 yards and Zach Miller (TE) led Raiders with 58 yards

Don, it looks like you are correct. Nothing for Kevin in the first half and one measley throw to Anthony in the first half. I guess I should have switched one of my other fantasy WRs out for Kevin when I saw your post earlier, but I didn't and it looks liek I may suffer for it.

 

[Bear Backer]

Anybody have information on Gonzalez's injury?

Ouch ... should've read Don's post before setting my fantasy lineup. Although, Kevin did save me the week before.
