FNCs Sit/Start Them

[Lubeck]

Jacobs got a mention:

 

THIS WEEK’S PLAY: Brandon Jacobs, New York Giants

 

Jacobs returned from a three-week injury layoff to post 100 yards rushing and a touchdown in a win over the Jets. Jacobs appears to be in a time share with Derrick Ward, who had 56 yards and a score of his own. But Jacobs is too good to give away too many carries, and he’s too big (264 pounds) to be passed over for goal-line chances. He should have a good outing against the Falcons, who are 21st in the league in rushing yards allowed per game. If you haven’t seen Jacobs run the ball, imagine a rhinoceros barreling down a crowded city street, sending people and cars flying everywhere. He’s HUGE.

 

 

And since Eggie is gracing us with his oh-so-obnoxious presence:

 

BAD: Terrell Owens, Dallas

 

T.O. had just two catches for 25 yards in Monday’s win over the Bills. He had a chance to make an impact after the Cowboys scored late in the game to pull within two points, but was out-fought on a high jump ball that he probably should have caught for a two-point conversion. Though Owens only has 58 yards receiving in the last two weeks, he’s still on pace for more than 1,200 yards and nine TDs.
