Pass/Fail Week 6

In this weekly article, I will highlight players who performed up to expectations and those who didn't. These players will mostly be ones you count on for consistent production.

PASS

Shaun Alexander-(25-119, 2td's) The cream of the crop. It doesn't get better than this. With 4.8 yards per carry, there is no one more reliable than him. The offensive line is really starting to come together and the schedule looks great.

Edgerrin James-(21-105, 1td..4-42) With teams keying on Peyton Manning and the passing game, James is having a great year. He is averaging 100 yards a game and 3td's through 5 games with Peyton on your team ain't bad.

Steve Smith-(8-119, 2td's) That's more like it. After catching only 2 balls for 12 yards, Smith bounced back in a big way. 100+ yards and 2 td's is becoming the norm for this guy.

Anquan Boldin-(10-158, 1td) While it is unlikely Boldin and Fitzgerald can keep this pace up, Boldin is going to catch more balls which should provide more consistent stats.


FAIL

Brian Westbrook-(6-12..3-24) This is getting ugly. Last week he only had 9 attempts for 15 yards against the poor Chiefs D. With McNabb hurting and the bye week coming up, Westbrook is one you can't count on right now.

Deuce McAllister-(11-31) Well, New Orleans has had a lot of problems this year, and now they have another. Duece is out for the year. Ouch.

Donald Driver-(5-48) As the number one receiver for Green Bay, and with Favre throwing the ball all day, we expect more from Donald.

Jimmy Smith-(3-43) Age is no excuse. With 4 td's on the year, it is hard to figure out how Jimmy will play each week. 100 yards one week, 40 the next.
