RB Mike Bell (Saints)- RB Pierre Thomas is expected to sit this week against the Lions. Thomas is suffering from a MCL sprain and a minor laceration on the same knee. He did not practice yesterday and the Saints should not play him to risk further injury. Last season Bell scored his lone TD vs. the Lions. He rushed for 115 yards on 15 carries during the preseason and makes a strong flex play this week.

RB James Davis- Jamal Lewis barely broke 1,000 yards last season and averaged 3.6 yards per carry. He is now 30 years old and his load could be decreased. Davis, was selected in the sixth round (same round as RB Terrell Davis) out of Clemson. He has has good size 5′11″ 218 pounds and could eventually take over the starting job. The rookie ran for 186 yards on 24 carries, averaging to 7.8 yards per carry.

Honorable mention: Glenn Coffee (49ers)

  "The Knicks reported a 40 percent spike in on-site merchandise sales during Saturday’s game at Madison Square Garden — including more than 200 McGrady T-shirts and more than 100 McGrady jerseys. All for a player who might be here for just 39 games." So embarrassing. […]

- Comment on Knicks get T-Mac and S-Rod by L. Holmes
  Yep, now that T-Mac is ready, his knee blew up, and he is on the bench. Houston played that one great. But why did New York need a point guard? I don't understand? D'Antoni stated in November when Duhon was in a fog that he was sticking with him. He sure did, started him 50 games, but he had 24 points recently, but that was for the whole month of F […]
- Comment on Building the World Champion 1970 Knicks by Joe Coppola
  Arguably the greatest Knick team of all time. The one that all the others are measured up against! I remeber game 7 like it was yesterday. Had to listen to it on the radio as it was blacked out in NYC until a tape delayed airing at 11:30 PM. Marv Albert's unforgettable call of Reed coming out of the locker room and then of Willis' hitting his first […]
