Week 3 in review

Studs:

Drew Brees: While I wanted to throw my remote through the TV every time the Saints ran in a touchdown, Brees still ended up with a monster day because of 421 yards passing. He only thew for 1 touchdowns but 421 will make up the points.

Marion Barber: I told everyone who would listen that he was a top 8 pick this season. 142 yards on the ground and a score...just another week for Marion. Just hope that he can hold up. He takes a pounding because of his straight up, make the tackler pay running style.

Frank Gore: It's fun to watch Gore when there aren't 8 men in thr box. 130 yards rushing and a score.

Michael Turner: I really didn't expect Turner to play this well. He carried his owners on Sunday with 3 touchdowns.

Larry Johnson: I've been all over LJ this season so I need to give him props for his 121 yards and a touchdown.

Ronnie Brown: 5 total touchdowns is a monster week for anyone. Now only if he wasn't on most owners benches...

Reggie Bush: It's about time Reggie! 148 total yards and 2 scores.

Brandon Marshall: Cutler to Marshall looks like the new Manning to Harrison. 150 and a score in week 3. Now if he can just stay out of trouble.

TJ Houshmazadeh: The Bengals offense showed some signs of life on Sunday. TJ jad 12 catches for 146 and a score.

Duds:
Brian Westbrook: Not his fault that he got injured. He may be the best all around back in the game today. But 0 points is 0 points.

Peyton Manning: Again, probably not all his fault but owners who took Peyton in the 1-2 round range want more than 1 td and 2 picks.

Rams Offense: Rams are a mess. Even Steven Jackson is looking like a shaky play. I would still ride Holt and Jackson due to their track records but Bulger is nothing more than a bench player right now.

Roy Williams/Calvin Johnson: Combined for 6 catches and 58 yards against the Niners. I'm thinking they wish they still had Martz calling their plays.

Andre Johnson: Houston is digressing. 2 catches for 29 yards for their top target.

Ben Roethisberger: Philly was all over Big Ben to the tune of 8 sacks. They held the Steeler's QB to 131 yards and 0 scores. The Steeler have 1 touchdwon in the last 2 games.

Derek Anderson: See below.

Steady as he goes:
Marshawn Lynch: Lynch has scored in each of the first 3 games. 2 more touchdowns on Sunday gave him 4 for the year.

Should have started:
Steve Slaton: He looks to have a hold on the # 1 back slot with 116 yards and a touchdown.

Pick me up!
JT O'Sullivan: He looks poised and comfortable in Martz's offesnse. 2 touchdowns on Sunday.

Drop me like I'm hot!
Derek Anderson: Everyone saw this coming. Anderson has been horrible this season. after 3 picks on Sunday he has 5 for the year. He has thrown for 405 yards and 2 touchdowns. Thats down right bad. If the Browns don't go to Brady Quinn this weekend they are dumber than I thought.
