About that draft

Oh, we're off to a great start. This guy was going to be my horse, and now appears to have forgotten how to play football:

RB Steve Slaton was limited to 17 yards on nine carries by the Jets. At one point, he had six carries for one yard. Slaton appears to have lost his quickness and instincts, but he also hasn't gotten any blocking from his linemen. He was the only back in the NFL to rush for at least 100 yards against the Titans last season, and he did it twice. Now the coaches would probably be happy if he generated 100 in two games. The one play Slaton did make on a screen pass ended with his losing a fumble at the Jets' 20.

Oh, and now his coach has decided to not give him touches around the goal line.

This game sucks.

Bummer. Better put him on waivers, then.

I'll trade you Anthony Gonzalez for him straight across.

Here's your mistake: You're giving the players names.

I prefer to refer to my players as "Projected to score reliably over 12 points per game over the next 4 games" and "Good projected points now, but shows troubling signs of not meeting expected scoring goals"

In other news, I'm considering renaming my team to be "Harry Lime's moving dots"
