RB D’Andre Swift, CHI (1 Viewer)

[msudaisy26]

With the starters in pre-game warmups if it helps anyone decide.

Doing God's work for us. I just started because Puka popped up as a dnp. That scares me and I have nothing else.

 

[BradtheAg]

Going Swift. Drafted him as a rookie in the startup, the time is now for him to either do something or not. Should be entertaining either way

 

[VikingFrog]

Hey! He’s in there!

 

[oswizzle]

Meh

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

swift looks good

 

[msudaisy26]

I always thought the super bowl hangover was a myth. I am starting to believe.

 

[Sunday Gravy]

swift looks good

Extremely talented

Always has been.

It’s the “made of glass” issue that’s vexed him.

 

[ffmail4me]

I was surprised how good Swift looked. He must be motivated tonight.

 

[VikingFrog]

Feed him.

 

[dipandglide]

I can feel the desperation from Swift owners in this thread. Good luck, boys!

 

[Insein]

No faith on new OC Brian Johnson. His play calling is ***.

Always been a big fan. On my roster. He's an emergency guy unless he's the clear lead back for at least 3 straight. I'm under no delusions.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Swift O/U totals:

35.5 yards rushing -115 both
14.5 rec yards (Over -120)

I'd take the over on Swift rushing yards tonight.

Easy money.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Penny

 

[Birdie048]

I stand corrected… Penny is not getting significant touches to control the clock in game management style. Looks like Swift is the focal RB

 

[in2win]

Swift has been looking good and quick. Was just inches short on the 7yd run to the goal line then of course they push it in with Hurts.

 

[Snoopy]

Penny

Can't even get your 2 cents worth from him.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Penny

He just went out there for the kickoff. Versatility.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Boston Scott out with concussion. Penny will get some work now.

 

[Sunday Gravy]

Siriani has to realize Swift is like way better than Gainwell no?

 

[need2know]

Gonna play him over mattison moving forward. No doubt

 

[Banger]

Siriani has to realize Swift is like way better than Gainwell no?

Boston Scott looked as good as swift tonight

 

[VikingFrog]

I think we may have something here.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Well he had that one kickoff he watched go over his head…

And there he is

The holes have been massive. Sharkpoolers could run through these holes.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Benched Swift for Pierce and Kirk. Playing against Hurts/Goedert. I have Jefferson. 0-2 here I come.

I look forward to starting Swift next week and watching his W1 performance.

 

[VikingFrog]

I think we may have something here.

Though he called himself out and went to the bench since I said this, and Penny came in since then.

But… I did see him get his ankle checked out and put his helmet back on and run towards the action so I think we good.

Boston Scott got the majority of his yards when Minnesota was playing prevent at the end of the half. They were preventing the pass.

Swift has looked really good tonight

 

[Insein]

I think we're in the clear gentlemen.

 

[VikingFrog]

Glad I held after one week of panic.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Congrats to those that started him. I’m sick he’s on my bench for Pierce/Kirk. He’s in next week.

 

[oswizzle]

Yes sirrrrrrr!

 

[efactor]

All the excited Gainwell owners are less excited tonight

 

[Proteus]

I’m glad I was wrong. Got one share after all. Still can’t help but think week 3 is the Rashaad Penny show.

 

[Weebs210]

Tried to tell you boys..

 

[in2win]

Philly offensive line has been opening up big holes all night, Swift has been doing a great job of hitting those holes and getting the extra yards and making cuts when those holes plug up.

Lots of mouths to feed in this offense but it's definitely a vote of confidence for the Swift owners.

 

[Largent]

pulled him out 5 mins before kick-off because some idiot on twitter said he wasn't warming up with the 1's pre-game.....I swear....but, now we know. If Philly coaches keep a healthy Swift to rot on the bench especially at a home game, we can assume they will be gunned down in the parking lot.....so they won't want that.

 

[VikingFrog]

Started him everywhere.

Why?

Because I believed in him.

Why else?

Because I drafted 0RB and after a few injuries he’s all I had.

But I really did believe in his talent to start the year.

 

[efactor]

Oh well. Fun game.

 

[BradtheAg]

He just seized the RB1 role on one of the best rushing offenses in the league. Please for god’s sake let him hang on to it

 

[Insein]

I offered him for Kirk today but the owner didn't reply so I pulled back at 6pm. Sometimes better lucky than good.

M-V-P post here

I hope you are right but I can see Gainwell getting the RB1 role next week. Seen this movie too many times, coaches are stubborn AF

 

[dmac37]

I feel bad for the trade I pulled off in our home league superflex. A few other pieces involved but basically I traded Rodgers for Swift and Elijah.

Damn man should have checked this thread. @menobrown told you he was with the 1s warming up :/

If any coach isn't it's Nick Siriani. He gave up play calling last year because it wasn't working. That's a lack of ego right there to know you ain't getting it done.

 

[Chaka]

So, can we put the Penny talk to rest?

To be fair with this group of backs I think they all will get an opportunity to shine at some point in a long season but it's clear where Penny is in the pecking order.

I think it was pretty telling that they had Swift back in to finish the game.

Penny had a pretty bad hold that got a TD called back but yes Gainwell, Scott will still vulture some points that will frustrate owners

I was on the golf course, walking off #4 to the 5th tee 3 mins to kick-off.....some jag off from the local ABC sports in Philly tweeted it out about 20 mins before kickoff and I panic'd.
