Over or Under

offense ranked 15th

(over means better and under means worse, obviously)[/quote]


Under (Worse). Rookie QB, Unproven OL, there needs to be quick improvement for me to change my mind. We should have the Bears beat.

Ideally we could probably make 15th.

Overall offense will probably be anywhere from 13th to 23rd. I'll guess 17th.

I'm going with under, but I think it will be in the teens. To say higher is very ambitious with some many young players.

Flacco may have a higher TD/INT ratio but his completion percentage will be low even more over 10 yards. Ratio means nothing if you can throw first downs.

Without knowing the status of our starters it is difficult to say what our record will be. Assuming Reed, C Mac, Rolle, Washington, Mcgahee comes back 10-6 or 9-7, if not 5-11

This year our offense will be in the early 20s.

Willis runs 1,000 yards?
Ray Rice runs 600?

as for that, for willis i say under and for rice i say over. a BIG knock on wood, but i think with the lack of playing time, Willis might unfortunately get injured, and ray rice will steal the show in those circumstances.
i say:
Willis Mcgahee: up to 200 yards
Ray Rice: no limit

[wun22]

under

because Troy Smith will be the starter from probably about week 2-3 on

This is the toughest over/under yet. It really depends on injury.

McGahee will have over 1000 yards as long as he is healthy.

If Willis is unhealthy Ray Rice will come in around 800 yards

seriously i think flacco will do:
23 TD 13 Int
Passer Ratting 95.2

230 YPG
300 Rushing yards all year long, some times he will prefers to run than throw a Pick. (i hope)
3 rushing TD (Flacco)


Masson 7 TD
Figurs 4 TD
Heap 11 TD ( he's a monster in the red Zone)
Clayton 1 TD
williams 1 TD

maybe and only maybe
could be

williams 7 TD and Masson 1
if they focused on stop Masson on 3rd down

on what i'm based on?

so flacco will be looking out deep all the time, and will get some good connections in the beginning of the season
until opposing defenses understand that he is for real, then the things will be little weird for us with the passing game, but it will be later for the others victims, they will focused on stop the pass and then McGahee and Co. will do the rest for the end of the Season, and from this we will have at least 6 wins, focusing on wining only 4 more games to get a playoff berth, finishing us barely over the place 10 maybe tie with other team on pos. 10th or 11th. on offense, on defense well you know if we are healthy we're the top of the top. Baltimore get disrespected on the passing game the pasts years, but it will change soon with flacco development.
we have the defense to go and be the perfect complement with solid running game and a good check down QB, only to not commit turnovers and manage the game, some times the defense will carry the offense and viceversa.

That's a bold prediction for a Rookie QB behind a raw OL. Flacco will not have many chances to look deep down the field. Other teams will be testing our OL and rookie QB. There will be so many blitz packages being thrown at us the first few games, until we can prove things differently. We might have Ray Rice needing to block as well.

If we are to be successful early, look for a lot of passes to the flat, and screen passes. If we can continue to move the chains, defenses will ease off the blitzes. I know this isn't what people want to see. But this is a stepping stone in the right direction if we want to win now.

Willis' Rush Yards: Over, I say around 1,100 yards with 8-10 TDs
Rice's Rush Yards: Also Over, maybe around 700 with 5-7 TDs
