I had to play in 30 degree weather a couple of times last winter. It kinda sucked.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 04:02 PM) Houston has 13 hurries and 8 QB hits. He actually grades out better than Young does in terms of pass rush on pro football focus. Young has 6 hurries and 1 QB hit outside of his sacks. PFF grades are cumulative and I think Houston gets a lot more reps than Young, so that might explain why he's graded higher. I guess you can say he's getting close and pressuring the QB, but he's not finishing the job. I'm still baffled as to how he only has 6 tackles on the year. Do teams not run to his side at all?

Lemarr Houston, on the other hand... 6 tackles, 0 sacks. Young has 24 tackles. I'd at least expect Houston to make a contribution against the run game since that's what he's best at, but he's not even doing that well.

Willie Young is leading the league in sacks with 7...never thought I'd see that happen.

Ha, that site still looks like it's stuck in 2000.

And FWIW, Steamer has LaRoche's 2015 projection at .249/.344/.437 in 146 games. Not exactly what you want out of your possible 4th or 5th hitter, but I think he can be had at an affordable price. Plus he's left handed.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 02:32 PM) I like the idea, the only thing that worries me a bit is he's clearly a better 1b than Jose but you're not going to dh Abreu at the moment. I'm not sure he's that much better than Abreu at 1B right now. He might have been better in his prime, but his fielding numbers have been below average the past few years. Abreu was a DH for 35 games last year and didn't hit that much worse than when he played 1B. I don't think he's one of those guys that only hits when he plays the field. You can have LaRoche as the primary 1B and form some kind of platoon to give Abreu reps there as well.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 11:09 AM) "Multiple media sources are reporting that Washington will decline Adam LaRoche's 2015 option." Should we give him a chance? He's 34, so hopefully on a 2 or 3 year deal, and he's that LH 1B/DH we'll need. I wouldn't want him for more than 2 years. He wouldn't be a bad option if it's 2 years and $16-$20 million.

Ha, I get to play all year. Suckers.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 08:34 AM) In Euro qualifying, Poland beat Germany for the first time EVER. I'm sure they will screw up the rest of qualifying somehow, but pretty awesome to finally beat them. Germany out-shot and out-possession'd Poland by quite a bit. A lot of people were joking they got FIFA'd (the video game).

We got a break. In real time, that looked like a soft hit and Mundy let up, but that was helmet to helmet.

Nice catch by Marshall.

WTF Jordan Mills?

Sooooo...Nugent just missed the GW field goal and the Bengals and Panthers tied.

Hopefully Cutler doesn't get a concussion from that hit. He hit his head on the turf pretty hard.

There's a good chance the Panthers and Bengals will tie.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 12, 2014 -> 03:44 PM) Jordan mills looks bad. False start on the first snap, Massaquoa beat him for a sack, and he missed a big block on the Jeffery end around Another dumb penalty.

Wow, Cam's got 275 yards passing and 100 yards rushing.

That Denver pick 6 was a godsend for me. They're a decent defense, but they can't score or get turnovers.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 12, 2014 -> 02:56 PM) Cam is going HAM And of course I'm playing against him. I'd be up a ton if Cam was having his normal 15 point game.

If we can't score on this horrible Atlanta defense, I'm gonna have real doubts about this year.

Manning's throwing everything into the ground when he's on the move. This is getting ugly.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 12, 2014 -> 01:05 PM) He looks so unathletic when he runs it's hilarious. It's surprising he ran a 4.8 in his 40 when he first came into the league. I guess playing for 15 years with some neck surgeries does that to you.

Broncos looking awful. Peyton's been pressured a ton. When you make Peyton move outside the pocket, he's pretty awful.
