Pick the People’s Team – Week 3

Thanks to your votes, the People’s Pigskin picked up Brandon Stokley off the waiver wire. Now it’s time to set our lineup for this week’s game against Tinks Revenge. She brings an imposing lineup, but I think it can be beaten.

Quarterback. Right now our starter is Kurt Warner, and my gut feeling is to stick with him, even though ESPN’s “experts” expect him to get fewer points than Trent Edwards.

Running back. OK, last week’s switch blew up in our collective faces, so for the moment we have Matt Forte and Steve Slaton back in the starting slots. Waiting in the wings (should you, the Internet, will it) is Rashard Mendenhall.

Flex. Our current lineup features Donald Brown, the rookie from UConn who has earned regular playing time for the Indianapolis Colts. Here’s hoping Peyton Manning & Co. don’t make a habit of holding the ball for less than 15 minutes. Again, Mendenhall waits on the bench.

Wide receiver. Since we got him, I see no reason not to use Brandon Stokley right away. Also, I’d say Chad Ochocinco deserves another starting spot, even if he did rig that “Lambeau Leap” thing by planting Bengals fans in the end zone. Waiting in the wings is Greg Jennings, who got a grand total of 0 points last week.

Again, no changes at tight end (Kellen Winslow), kicker (Nick Folk, playing Monday night) or defense (Philadelphia Eagles).

Here’s the poll for this week’s lineup. Feel free to leave a comment if you think we should do something else. And remember to vote in our gambling poll. We’ll be back later with predictions for the Landshark Maniacs games.
