    I have a problem at rb. Too many good players and I don't know which ones to start.

    Shaun Alexander vs. Jets
    Warrick Dunn vs. Carolina
    Fred Taylor vs. Green Bay
    Juluis Jones vs. Eagles

    I can only start 2 and this is first week of playoffs. The questions is which 2 do I start. Someone gimme some help here cause I have no clue.

    Jones and Alexander.

    Alexander is your starter, never bench him, and the jets are weak up front without abraham.

    Jones is up against an unproven Philly run defense and will probably get the ball 30 times.

    For Shaun, i imagine a 85 yard day, 2 TDs, for Jones, 100, 1 TD

    The last 4 weeks Philly has given up an average of 89 yds per game to number 1 backs. Against top 10 backs. I would go with Taylor because of the temp and weather. Jax will RUN the ball! GB can't stop it. Then I'd put Alexander in no question. Dunn is going against Carolina which is playing inspired football right now. I think its a no brainer Alexander and Taylor!

    Abraham is average against the run, the jets don't really lose anything with Thomas in. Still, I'd start Alexander even against a very strong jets run D and I'd start Jones but there's a good chance that the eagles will get out to such a big lead Jones won't get a chance to run.

    Why the hell would Dallas run the ball 30 times if they are down by 3 scores the entire game?????? The Eagles defense has become like a machine ever since they moved Trotter into the starting lineup. I would go with Dunn and Alexander. Dunn is going to be the only back for Atlanta this week.

    Why the hell not? That isn't a good excuse. Jones will run the ball plenty.

    "the eagles defense is like a machine" :rof: :doh: They have the 3rd best defense in the division...
