Player Notes
August 30, 2008
Artose Pinner has been cut by the Lions, according to MLive.com. The team also unloaded Eric Bellamy (WR), Darnell Bing (LB), Greg Blue (CB), Buster Davis (LB), Frank Davis (G), Victor DeGrate (DE), Dovonte Edwards (CB), Devale Ellis (WR), Rudolph Hardie (DE), Clark Harris (TE), Drew Henson (QB), LaMarcus Hicks (S), Brandon Middleton (WR), Kenneth Moore (WR), John Standeford (WR), Corey Hulsey (G), Leon Joe (LB), Jonathan Scott (T), and Kiwaukee Thomas (CB).

Our View:Brian Calhoun and Aveion Cason were placed on IR, and the team just has rookie Kevin Jones and Tatum Bell on the roster at running back.

The Detroit Lions have signed RB Artose Pinner , a free agent formerly with the New Orleans Saints, to a one-year contract, according to MichiganLive.com. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Our View:Local reporters view this decision as an announcement to every rusher on the roster, not including recently-drafted Kevin Smith: Your job is on the line.

Head coach Bobby Petrino stated that newly signed running back Artose Pinner could get goal line carries. “We’re looking for a back that can help us in short-yardage, goal-line situations,” Petrino told the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Wednesday. “Someone who’s more physical than the two that we have carrying the ball for us right now.”

Our View:In other words, Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood may not get the money carries. Let the panic begin for Dunn and Norwood owners who play in touchdown-heavy leagues.

The Falcons signed free agent running back Artose Pinner Monday. Pinner was released by the Vikings earlier this weekend.

Our View: Pinner will not have any value to fantasy owners at this time as he’ll be third (at best) on the Falcons depth chart at tailback behind Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood. His value may be highest to the Falcons in week one, who will no doubt gain insights into the Vikings playbook before their tilt this Sunday.

Coach Brad Childress doesn't think that Artose Pinner, who had 125 yards and three TDs Sunday, will start cutting into the workload of Chester Taylor, according to the Star-Tribune. "If Chester is in there and can give a full accounting of himself, I don't think you consciously take [carries] off of him," Childress said Monday.
