Let's Hear Ya Titan's Fans!!

I’ve never been a big Amano fan personally…

Here’s the numbered predictions (one note: I love VY full bore and look forward to seeing the progress he’s made with ‘Dinger, but he’s never going to be Peyton or Brady with the #’s except where it really counts: the win column!)

VY- 2,900 YDS 20 TDs 12 INTs 850 yds rushing 8TDs 12 Wins

Gage- 800yds 6TDs

Roydell- 700yds 5TDs

Crumpler-700yds 8 TDs

White-1,300yds 12TDs

C. Johnson-850yds* 8TDs (with another 40 catches probably)

Jake Scott probably going to be our RG – but other than that I agree. I dont think Roydell will start – I think someone will step up. Ealy – or Hawkins.
Vince will hape 3100 YDS 18 TDS 8 INTS 600 RUSHING yards – 13 Wins

Gage – 900yrds 6 tds

Hawkins – 800 yrds 3 tds

Roydell – 600 yrds 1 td

Crump – 700 yrds – 8 tds

White – 1200yrds 10 tds

Chris Johnson – 600 rushing yrds – 500 yrds pass

and on defense Jevon replaces Odom, and A. Johnson beats out Tony Brown to start – TBrown plays end rotation.

I agree with:

LT-Roos

LG-Scott

C-Mawae

RG-Amano

RT-Stewart

TE-Crumpler

WR1-Gage

WR2-Hawkins or Ealy

Then Williams, scafe,davis…question…does Mike Williams play? And don’t forget Johnson

FB-Hall

RB-White

QB-VY

I see Young doing great with Hawkins, Crumpler, Ealy and prehaps dare I say Henry doing better than expected. Also I imange our DL being Kick A—! Also I say was can def. get our super bowl this year. If ‘Dinger can get everyone to be better like they say and if our D’ can be just as good if not better, I don’t see why we won’t.

The McCareins factor at WR. His most successful year in the NFL was under dinger, and since Roydell is hurt he’s getting starting reps in OTAs:

WR depth chart is going to be a free for all.

I’m very optimistic on the passing game improving next year too, but I think hoping for tripling the number of touchdowns or more is a bit much. I’d guess around 16 to 20 passing touchdowns next year. They’ll still lean on the run game a lot even with dinger back in the house.

I don’t think R. Williams is gonng come back that fast. I predict J. McCareins as the #2 WR to start and then getting supplanted by either M. Williams or B Ealy. McCareins winds up #3 going forward.

It’s more interesting to me to ponder D-Line starters. I predict J. Kearse comes out strong, gets hurt, and then finishes strong in the playoffs—all told, not a bad season for a Vet DE on a 2-year deal.

My line:
Vince will hape 2400YDS 17 TDs, 7 INTs, 500 RUSHING yards, 7 TDs Rushing – 11 Wins

Gage – 700yrds, 4 tds

McCareins – 500 yrds, 2 tds

Roydell – 300 yrds

M. Williams (or Ealy) – 600 yds, 4 tds

Crump – 700 yrds, 5 tds

White – 1150yrds, 8 tds

Chris Johnson – 500 rushing yrds, 6 tds – 500 yrds pass, 2 tds

• I hope that all adds right. Bottom line: primary TD machines are:
  - Crumpler or VY in Red Zone (via boot leg)
  - L. White via power running
  - C Johnson on screen pass/reverse/change-up (non-red zone)
  - M Williams/Biren Ealy deep

VY gets hurt in pre-season, with a nasty groin injury, gets placed on PUP.

Kerry Collins throws for 4000 yards, 27 TDs but loses in ugly fashion in the first game of the post-season, hits the bottle (again) then gets arrested for DUI.

Lendale White loses the starting job to Quinton Ganther, who completely wows Dinger in practice and earns the starting slot. Ganther rushes for 2.8 YPC but Dinger sticks to his guns and leaves him in until the end of the season.

Chris Johnson returns 9 kickoffs, 6 punts for touchdown. Continues to improve speed and breaks world record at Beijing Olympics in the 100 and 200 meter dash.

Keith Bulluck shatters NFL record by recording 10 interceptions in Monday night game against the Colts.

August West gets the nod as a walk-on at starting defensive end after an ugly injury puts Kearse on the DL. West amazingly gets invited to the pro-bowl after only 7 starts.

Chris Henry impresses everyone by showing up at camp weighing 275 pounds with only 6% bodyfat. Fisher eyes his physique longingly. Henry is immediately served a season-long suspension for PED usage.

Lavelle Hawkins falls into a deep depression and loses his skills seemingly overnight after waking up one day and out-of-nowhere realizing his parents actually named him ‘Lavelle’.

Crumpler brings ironic meaning to his surname, when his tired old knees literally crumple like accordions in a week#1 tackle against Jacksonville. Craig Stevens immediately steps in and blocks everyone in sight, while Ganther continues to only grind out a measly 2.8 YPC.
