Gridiron Grit: Suds Game One Preview; Tough Contest against the Rrrrs

The Opening Game of the BenFL's season starts Thursday night, with the Suds taking on RickB's "Rrrrs". The Rrrrs have a solid lineup top to bottom, and it looks like it'll be a close game.

As of now, here is what the Suds' starting lineup looks like:

McNabb, Donovan QB PHI
Brown, Ronnie RB MIA
Taylor, Fred RB JAC
Moss, Randy WR OAK
Muhammad, Muhsin WR CHI
Edwards, Braylon WR CLE
Troupe, Ben TE TEN
Vinatieri, Adam K NE
Ravens, DST DST BAL

And here is the Rrrrs starting lineup:

Favre, Brett QB GB
Jordan, LaMont RB OAK
Tomlinson, LaDainian RB SD
Holt, Torry WR STL
Williams, Roy WR DET
Bryant, Antonio WR CLE
Crumpler, Alge TE ATL
Vanderjagt, Mike K IND
Bills, DST DST BUF

The Rrrrs drafted LaDainian Tomlinson with the first overall pick in the draft, so he's the guy that has to come through for them.

Below are the players on the Suds bench:

Warner, Kurt QB ARI
Boller, Kyle QB BAL
Jones, Greg RB JAC
Jacobs, Brandon RB NYG
Shipp, Marcel RB
Evans, Lee WR BUF
Jenkins, Michael WR ATL
Gates, Antonio TE SD
Nugent, Mike K NYJ
Seahawks, DST DST SEA

While the pine-riders for the Rrrrs include:

Carr, David QB HOU
Smith, Alex D. QB SF
Bettis, Jerome RB PIT
Suggs, Lee RB CLE
Toefield, LaBrandon RB JAC
Calico, Tyrone WR TEN
Colbert, Keary WR CAR
Jolley, Doug TE NYJ
Wilkins, Jeff K STL
Buccaneers, DST DST TB

Prolate Spheroid Notes: The Rrrrs had the first pick in the first round, while the Suds had the last pick, the 12th in the first round. The Rrrrs picked LaBrandon Toefield from Jacksonville after the Suds picked Greg Jones. If Fred Taylor gets hurt, and some say he's prone to injury, one or the other will become the primary back in Jacksonville. The Suds are without the services of tight end Antonio Gates, who has to sit for a game because of a one-game penalty imposed by the league for holding out during the preseason. Go SUDS.

thankyouverymuch,
