Bleacher Report Quick Pick Challenge Week 6


Week 6 Picks for the Bleacher Report Quick Pick Challenge are up.  Every week you are trying to come up with the best picks but you can only choose a player or team one time during the challenge.  

Michael Vick is a good quarterback but for some reason it is just not working this year.  He is one elusive quarterback that can make defenses look really bad with his speed.  The Eagles went out and got a lot of free agents but they are not bringing in wins on Sundays.  Vick had enough to get past the Washington Redskins and hopefully Philly is on its way back from the brink.

Ryan Torain is a running back that I expected would have a good game running against the Eagles but it just didn't happen.  He was held to 22 yards.  With all the turmoil happening at quarterback I was expecting more runs to keep the game close.  Torain didn't bust any big ones against the Eagles.

DeSean Jackson is a fast wide receiver and a game breaker.  I don't know why he is not getting more opportunities to break games open.  They need to find a way to get the ball into his hands more often.  All it takes is a step and DeSean is blowing past defenders.  The Eagles should use him more effectively.

The 49ers have everybody suprised.  Even the 49er faithful couldn't expect the turnaround that has happened in San Francisco.  The 49ers have really fast tight ends but they always needed someone to deliver the ball.  For whatever reason Alex Smith was having a hard time doing that in the past.  Delanie Walker is a big fast tight end that can change the game if they can get him the ball.  Playing the Detroit Lions tough defense would mean dumping the ball off to tight ends when the pressure kicks in.  Delanie Walker should benefit from this.

The Oakland Raiders seem to be on the right track with their new coach.  They have all the tools that they need to be successful this year and reach the playoffs.  They have a solid quarterback that can manage the game plan.  They have a tough running attack that can chew the clock and put points on the board.  They have the speedy wide receivers that can break for big yardage at any point in the game.  They just need to stay healthy and keep playing good football.
