Unlike last year where I had injuries to 4 of my starters in the first 2 weeks (I believe steven jackson, jamaal charles, Andre Johnson, and someone else)... everyone healthy so far (fingers crossed) this year.

If this was your team would anyone trade: Matt Ryan, Brandon Pettigrew, and Jamaal Charles for Ray Rice and Giants D?

QB: Matt Ryan

RB: Matt Forte

RB: Jamaal Charles

WR: Julio Jones

WR: AJ Green

TE: Jermichael Finley

W/R/T: Willis McGahee

K: David Akers

D: GB Packers

BN: Brandon Pettigrew

BN: Donald Brown
BN: Andrew Luck
BN: Greg Little
BN: Mikel LeShoure
BN: Martellus Bennett

Ryan has the potential this year with the anticipated performance decline of Michael Turner to be a top 3 QB.  I think you have a pretty balanced team now, and ultimately the trade is Ryan and Charles for Rice as you already have a top defense and would start Finley most weeks.  I don't believe in keeping a backup defense.

Most weeks under typical scoring systems (especially non-PPR) Ryan and Charles will combine for more points than Rice and Luck.  I'd check waivers and look for Alfred Morris, CJ Spiller and even Shonn Greene to provide you with more RB options.

Woops I left out a BN spot where I DO have a back up D filling it: Buffalo Bills.

Thanks, I was going to pick up Spiller but I was number 9/10 on waiver priority and thus denied! There really arent many quality RBs left in this league.  I find myself extremely adverse to picking up any RB from washington, Im scared from last year.

Someone dropped Cutler so im going to pick him up and drop Luck, although Im hesitant to do that because damn I want to believe in Luck.  Im feeling the same about Greg Little but damn Weeden sucks balls.  I want to drop him for Amendola (which will probably give me a good back up during bye weeks since this is a PPR league).

Amendola is a good option but I'd hold on to Little for another week to see if Weeden works things out or if the Browns go back to McCoy.  Little is their #1 and if you're in a PPR he should be a decent WR3 and potentially a WR2.  Cutler is great, I have him on one of my teams along with RG3.  He's worth stashing for bye weeks and better matchups

Had bad week last week but this is looking like a good week!  I was unable to make any pick ups last week because I was so high on the waiver list but thank god because my team is fine so far... although I still kind of wanted Amendola (someone else picked him up).

I have Leshoure, Andre Brown, and Jamaal Charles starting in my other league... KILLING IT!

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
