[QUOTE=Mattyk72;349398]I went with CP. Betts was solid but CP can just break things open like he did on the TD run.[/QUOTE]

CP was a close second for me. He averaged 5.8 ypc against a very good defense; tallying almost 100 yards on 17 carries.

And added a nice killer block on that Campbell scramble. I just love how he goes all out.

I wonder if the Phins fans still think hes injured? I also feel so sorry for pretty much all of the fantasy owners that had him on their team and were told by pretty much every "expert" not to start him.

He is contributing nicely to my week 1 winning team!

Re: Name your week 1 MVP
 

ARE! When we needed someone to step up offensively, he did, not moss, not cooley...ARE!

Portis would get my #2...he came through at the end, and I personally think Gibbs made three big mistakes when he kept Betts in late in the 4th, and when he called a time out on 3rd down on our last possession in the 4th giving Miami a lot more time when we ultimately punted, and when he should have ran Portis in OT instead of relying on Suisham to win the game on first down. (luckily all three didn't come back to bite us) Portis should get more PT than Betts hands down! I like the idea of having two runners, but Portis should be the "main guy" and right now it seems 50/50.

Hello all, it's been a while since my last post. I have no free time because I'm in a police academy. I think Swishy should get MVP though, man was clutch. I don't understand why they made him kick that 40 yarder in OT, why didn't they run the ball some more?

See, as much as I love his effort... that was a dangerous block. From what I remember it was totally unnecessary, and it was very close to illegal.

I love the attitude, just think he should be smarter than that. It was a huge drive, and a penalty would have killed us.

Re: Name your week 1 MVP
 

You know...we could just give it to the entire D...the best I've seen them play since 05!

Re: Name your week 1 MVP
 

I give it to the rush defense. more importantly Fletcher and McIntosh.

Gibbs said he didn't want to risk a penalty pushing them out of range.

I think it will be 50/50 until CP gets back into football shape. Still, I think even when he does Betts will still play a large role, for the season I think it will be 60/40 Portis to Betts.

Re: Name your week 1 MVP
 

mine goes to Suisham, he was pretty clutch when we needed him. It would be Randle El but the passing game wasn't very effective today other than the touchdown drive. I surely hope Moss and Cooley don't play like that all year, i was pretty disappointed in them. The defense did exceptionally well today, although Smoot should've easily had that pick at the end that would've let us win in the game in regulation.

But Portis looked a lot better than Betts and I think he looks like he is in "football shape"...it's now obvious to me that Portis was just trying to sit out preseason. Especially when he made a pre game comment about "football hasn't changed much since last year". I'd prefer a more 70/30 from Portis / Betts...I'd even take a 60/40, but I am hoping we don't see anymore 50/50.

I have faith, I started him. It is hard to own a guy on your team though.

Re: Name your week 1 MVP
 

Randle El. It would be nice if he could win it about three more times.
