"Blue Chip" players

[tim]

Gantt just posted a blog here about this article which lists the players on each team's roster that opposing teams always have to account for. We have six on the list, the most of any team tied with the Steelers, Colts, Chargers, Eagles and Packers.

Interesting that our blue chips are spread out over every level of the offense and defense. We're the only team with a blue chip in each level of defense (D-line, LBers, secondary) and offense (O-line, Wr, backfield). Can't agree with him on the Lewis as an almost blue chip though, the guy is just average as a 3 down player.

I agree with you there. I also agree with Gantt that I would put Davis in the almost blue-chipper group. I would probably put Godfrey in the almost blue-chipper group instead of the blue-chipper. He is a really good corner, but how many games has he changed the outcome of?

Interesting. Thanks for the links.

Where is Stewart? Didn't he break out of a 5 man tackle against the Buc's last season? I want a clip of that.

If Gantt worked at Baskin Robbins the 33rd flavor would be Cookies & Condescending

in his earlier years he iced a lot of games but wasn't as good of a corner. Teams wern't scared of him and he got a lot of picks because of that.

Now he holds down one side of the field down and still gets a few throws but teams definatley respect him.

you mean gamble?

Not really a positive IMO

It's just like playing RISK.

strong armies are nice to have but if they are not spread evenly or are scattered it's hard to gain ground without a master strategist and even then it's pretty tough.

Whereas if you concentrate your big armies in one area you can strategize, slow-play, and really become a force by playing to your strengths.

having a blue chip at every level seems nice but can be a negative if your "holes" are exploited and the blue chips (big armies) exhaust too much of the finite resources.

Damione Lewis is close to being a blue chip?

Reggie Bush isn't on the list, therefore it has no merit

That's what I translated from your last post.

Reggie Bush is the 3rd best back on the team. Colston, Jammal Brown, and maybe Ellis should have been on the list though.
