A disappointment thus far, Leftwich had a chance to rest his aching bones over the Week 7 bye and will face the soft secondaries of St. Louis and Houston over the next two games. Expect him to come out firing.
Just as he was back running with authority, Ahman Green is out for the season with another knee injury. Fisher, who has produced well in small doses, becomes the starter. At this stage of the season, healthy starting backs are priceless.
The Dallas backup RB carousel appears to have stopped at Barber, who looked sharp in relief of Julius Jones on Sunday. If Jones' injury persists, Barber could give the Cards a nice shave. Sorry.
Robert Ferguson proved to be a valuable addition after Javon Walker was lost for the season. Now that Ferg is out, it's Chatman's turn to flourish as Brett Favre's No. 2 option. The third-year wideout is up to the challenge.
So he led Detroit to a win against the lowly Browns, running for one TD. Big deal. He didn't throw a TD pass, and looked more like Joey Harrington than the Jeff Garcia of 2000-01.
Like what you saw against the Bears? Get ready for more, as Lewis faces the Steelers (twice), Bengals (twice) and Jaguars over the next five weeks. Looks to me like he needs to run with more conviction. Sorry again.
Ronnie Brown apparently didn't get the memo instructing him to give way to Williams after he returned from suspension. Ricky apparently forgot that he's supposed to gain yards rather than lose them.
