Studs and Duds - Week 15
Mike Harrison
Only 2 weeks left and another interesting one in the books IDP lovers! I hope
you were paying attention to Cecil's Starter Advice this week. He had 7 of our
10 Studs nabbed - including Will Demps! I'm a BIG Jint fan and I didn't give
Demps much chance to Hit the Mark - but he smashed through it and the Birds. Too
bad the rest of the Giants were asleep at the switch.
Perhaps even better our Leader gave only 1 player from Jacksonville a rating
above a C (Rashean Mathis in Big Play). Guess what - only 1 Jaguar Hit the Mark.
No, it wasn't Rashean but he steered you off all Jaguars. Pacman Jones, Chris
Finnegan and Chris Hope of TEN trounced Jacksonville all by themselves as each
had a return for a TD.
Other return TDs were posted by Demarcus Ware and Trent Cole with
interceptions and Antonio Smith with a fumble. Rod Coleman, Leonard Little,
Trevor Pryce, Ricky Manning and Tully Banta-Cain each had 2 sacks but failed to
make our Stud List.

Zach Thomas, Mia |
11 tackles, 10 assists, 2 fumbles forced |
Mr. Tackle grabbed the highest number posted so far this season as he hit
the Stud list for the 3rd time.. |
|
Chris Hope, Ten |
9 tackles, 1 assist, 1 interception, 1 pass defensed, 1 touchdown |
If everything breaks perfectly TEN could make the playoffs after starting a
horrible 1-6. Chris is a big reason why there's hope for the Titans as he
starred in hitting his 3rd Stud list this season. |
|
Pacman Jones, Ten |
3 tackles, 1 assist, 0.5 sacks, 1 interception, 3 passes defensed, 1
touchdown |
Pacman, Hope and Finnegan - Tennessee's 3 Touchdown Musketeers helped the
Titans keep their unlikely playoff hopes alive for another week. |
|
Napolean Harris, Min |
3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 interception, 1 pass defensed, 1 fumble forced |
Napolean made a lot of plays but all in vain as the Vikings postseason hopes
took a major hit. |
|
Aaron Kampman, GB |
3 tackles, 4 assists, 2 sacks |
Big Aaron continued his fine play and now has piled up 12.5 sacks for the
year. Like Thomas and Hope this is his 3rd Stud listing. |
|
Cullen Jenkins, GB |
4 tackles, 1 assist, 3 sacks, 1 fumble recovered |
If Cecil had called this one I would suspect him of having Second Sight or
something. We're talking about Cullen Jenkins here - 21 tackles and 3.5
sacks all season with a Hit the Mark rate of zero in all formats. Huge game
from out of nowhere. |
|
Champ Bailey, Den |
3 tackles, 1 assist, 2 interceptions, 2 passes defensed |
Seems like we have one every week - Bailey took off his chump outfit from
last week's Dud listing and moved back to champ status with a top
performance. |
|
Brian Dawkins, Phil |
11 tackles, 1 assist, 1 interception, 2 passes defensed, 2 fumbles forced |
Double digit tackles? An interception? 2 forced fumbles? Except for Will
Demps below Brian seemed to have more IDP stats than the entire NY D. |
|
Will Demps, NYG |
5 tackles, 1 assist, 1 sack, 1 interception, 1 pass defensed, 1 fumble
forced |
Will was all over the field making plays. The rest of the Giants D played
like midgets today. |
|
Demarcus Ware, Dal |
4 tackles, 1 assist, 0.5 sacks, 1 interception, 1 pass defensed, 1 fumble
forced |
Demarcus led the Cowboy D in their comeback win over Atlanta. Too bad I
only started him on 1 team this week. |

Julius Peppers, Car |
2 tackles |
Like the rest of the Panthers, Julius seems to have hit a wall. This is his
2nd Dud listing in a row, and 4th of the season. |
|
Joey Porter, Pit |
1 tackle |
His teammates made so many plays in their blasting of the Browns that there
weren't any left for Joey. |
|
Andra Davis, Cle |
1 tackle, 2 assists, 1 pass defensed |
My sister Andrea's name is close to his. Her game is better. |
|
Willie McGinest, Cle |
2 assists |
Gee - what a great game. No solo tackles. Tell me again why I started him. |
|
Charles Grant, NO |
2 tackles, 1 assist |
Familiar story for Charles. Get a sack and he'll Hit the Mark, get shut out
and he ends up a Dud. |
|
A.J. Hawk, GB |
1 tackle |
Guess it had to happen sooner or later. A.J. finally put up a dud. |
|
Adewale Ogunleye, Chi |
1 tackle, 1 assist |
Adewale's poor play was a good thing for the Bear anouncers. His name
doesn't exactly roll off your tongue and they hardly had to mention it the
entire game. |
|
Alex Brown, Chi |
1 tackle |
Tough to find Alex on the field today. |
|
D.J. Williams, Den |
2 tackles, 1 assist |
D.J. had been at or near Hitting the Mark in 6 of the last 7 weeks. Guess
all good things must come to an end. |
|
John Abraham, Atl |
1 tackle |
Geez - I waited almost the whole year for John and he "rewards" me with 1
whole tackle? Big -------deal. |
