Heroes and Zeroes of Week 11
Mike Harrison
Not hard to tell that byes are over! Puh-lenty of big plays and tackles made
limiting the Heroes to 10 quite difficult - impossible, even. Unfortunately
Zeroes were even easier to find. Our 10 weekly losers combined for a total of
one whole, entire tackle. Antrel Rolle had the line of the week with his 3
interceptions, 2 of which he returned for touchdowns, as well as other plays.
Eric Green and Shaun Phillips were double-digit tacklers who weren't Heroes,
while Chris Clemons, Robaire Smith and Greg White each had 2 sacks but was left
off. Scoring was down a bit. Besides Rolle, Ray Lewis and Brodney Pool returned
picks for TDs, while Ronde' Barber and Ellis Hobbs scored off a fumble return.

Osi Umenyiora, NYG |
1 assist |
He played like a decoy. The Lions spent the day double and triple teaming
him while leaving Strahan open on the other side. Not a good idea. |
|
Mathias Kiwanuka, NYG |
1 assist |
Kiwanuka broke his leg on the second play from scrimmage and didn't return. |
|
Aaron Ross, NYG |
blanked |
Ross totally disappeared. |
|
Lito Sheppard, PHI |
1 pass defensed |
Lito played like a lost sheep as he never got a whiff of a ball-carrier. |
|
Jason Taylor, MIA |
1 tackle |
Here's our one denizen on the Zero list who managed a tackle. Big deal.
Taylor's been on this list too often for a quality player. |
|
Antonio Cromartie, SD |
blanked |
His hot run came to a quick end for Cromartie even though he started again
in place of Jammer. |
|
Eric Wright, CLE |
blanked |
Wright sprained his knee and missed most of the game. |
|
Rod Coleman, ATL |
blanked |
Coleman injured both an arm and a hand and sat on the bench for the rest of
the contest. |
|
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, GB |
blanked |
As always, it's all or nothing for KGB. Snake eyes this week so a big Zero
for him. |
|
Bradie James, DAL |
3 assists |
This is a whole big zero score in Big Play leagues. |
