Thanks for your support!
I'm actually going to go with the Matt Schaub health thing.
I don't know if that's wishful thinking on my part or if I actually believe it though.
I went with Schaub because he damn well better or we're hosed once again. I just don't see Arian for 2200 this year. Not with the OL in its current condition.
Well considering we had 17 INTs last year, 11 shouldn't be that hard. I don't see any reason for that number to go down much.
I went with Barwin/Reed/Mercilus although I think there are a few things on there that are pretty likely to happen.
I can see Arian breaking 2200. I'm sure we'll make more than 11 interceptions. And I think K-Mart and Jean are going to put up some big numbers.
I'm not so sure about Schaub being healthy. And since I'm expecting KW to be supplanted by K-Mart and Jean, I don't expect AJ/KW/OD to get over 2500 yards receiving.
I think two of Barwin/Reed/Mercilus are going to end up with double digit sacks and the third is going to be in the high single digits.
I think the INT numbers can fluctuate and don't necessarily tell the story of how good your defense is...
Baltimore and Pittsburg have been two of the best defenses around...we had more INT's than Baltimore last year and Pitt was dead last in picks a few years ago...
But you are right...less than 11 INT's would be poor. I should have gone higher there..
I wish I could change my vote to 11 INTs. That should be a "slam dunk".
I picked KW, AJ, and OD going for 2500 yds/9 TDs. I think they'll come up with the 9 TDs but the 2500 yds is iffy. AJ will probably get his 1200+ assuming he stays healthy (kind of a big IF, I know) but I don't see OD & KW coming up with their 1300 yds with Jean, Martin, Graham, and Casey as targets for Schaub.
Top two in offensive pt/gm? Not with the Packers, Pats, and Saints around. They averaged 30+ pts/gm last year. We won't catch that with Kubiak's propensity to take his foot off the gas in the 4th qtr.
If it was top two D in pts. OR yds.... maybe. Not both.
Foster averaging 135+ yds/game...? Not with Tate taking some of his touches. I know he got 140+ yds/game last year but I don't see him repeating that over 16 games.
Sacks are too hard to predict. So is offensive production from the two young WRs.
The league still thinks Cush is on the sauce so they won't give it to him even if he continues to shine.
Yeah, sorry I borked your puzzle... .

Warning: Thread Bump in work!
I'm getting close.
AJ - 1058
Kw - 411
OD - 555
total = 2024
They already have the 9+ TDs.
But the winners are whoever picked Watt/Smith combine for 13.5 sacks. 14.5 (Watt) + 4.0 (Ninja) have surpassed expectations.
Anyone want to change their votes?
11 INT's seems like a gimmie now
AJ and Walter are within reach of 2500 tho the TD number seems out of reach.
They have 11 INT's now.
It is AJ, Walter and OD combined - 11 TD's so far. They will get the yardage easily,
