I traded Reggie Bush and Heath Miller for Witten and McCoy yesterday for the stretch run, I'm pretty happy with that. I still have hope for him. My reasoning was with Roy Williams playing much better that I think things will open up much more for Witten down the stretch run.

wow, I can't believe someone traded McCoy for Bush...Good trade for you since Witten will have more upside every week than Miller.

Although Carlson hasn't done much either, one of the reasons why is that he has been used as a blocker b/c of all the injuries to Seattle's O-line. A healthier O-line should translate into better production for Carlson. Couple that with the fact that he has more speed than Witten and I'd rather have Carlson than Witten at this point. It does appear to me that Witten has lost a step. Very surprising since he's only 27, but the fact of the matter is that he ain't outrunning anybody nowadays. Could just be a one year thing but in next season's drafts with maybe the exception of PPR look for him to slip. At a minimum I can't see anybody taking him as the first TE off the board.

I am hopeful Witten will turn it around but just picked up James Casey as a hedge.

Seattle's O-Line doesnt seem to be getting much better

Carlson had 1 target last week, thankfully it resulted in a 31 yd TD pass

after that he was dead quiet

I cant rely on that type of production week in and out w/o the targets being there

Having said that, I am well aware Witten may have lost a step

but I like my chances with Romo still looking for Witten as his 1/2 option

The targets are there for Carlson, maybe not last week but they are there. As for production, Witten has been giving me the same kind of production....scratch that, he's been giving me less production than Carlson. Witten will gets his catches but unless he finds the endzone don't expect much. Seeing as how he hasn't found it in like a zillion years temper your expectations.

if you take away Carlson's monster week in Week 1, Witten has been SLIGHTLY more productive than Carlson

besides, Beanie was not going to get a change to play on my team and I like my chances with Witten over Carlon for the rest of the season
