  1. Why is everyone projecting Bradshaw to get over 12 carries/game? For a guy whose spent much of his career with foot issues, 12-13 carries/game seems a little high to me, considering I doubt we run the ball more than 30 times/game. 

     

    Personally, I see the rushing attempts/game breakdown to look more like this:

    Bradshaw-- 8 carries/game

    Ballard-- 15 carries/game

    Everyone else-- 7 carries/game

     

    This way we can optimize the skill-set for the players involved in our rushing attack. Bradshaw is going to be used, IMO, as the back that blocks oncoming pass-rushers more than he is as a running back, simply because it will limit his wear and tear, allowing him to remain healthy for the late season (and potentially, the post-season). 

     

    Total Breakdown:

    Andrew Luck -- ~4700 yards, 35 TD passes, 12INT, 64%passcomp, 150 yards rushing, 3RushTD

    Vick Ballard -- 240 rushes, 4.8YPC, 1150 yards, 5TD, 190Passing yards, 1 receiving TD

    Ahmad Bradshaw -- 128 rushes, 4.9YPC, 630 yards, 4TD, 240 passing yards, 3 receiving TD

    Everyone Else -- 112 rushes, 4.8YPC, 540 yards, 4TD

    Reggie Wayne -- 1050 yards, 90rec, 6TD

    DHB -- 900 yards, 60rec, 5TD

    TYH -- 600 yards, 50rec, 7TD

    Fleener -- 750 yards, 45rec, 6TD

    Allen -- 500 yards, 50rec, 3TD

    Everyone Else -- 470 yards, 4TD

  2. 26 sounds about right for where we'll be picking. And now I'm really getting into Trent Murphy, OLB Stanford (another Stanford alum). He looks great rushing the qb and in coverage, and I think it's hilarious how he's basically a Bjoern Werner clone. 

    Except, he's got the size of JJ (s)Watt. 6'6, 270 lbs, put another 10-15 pounds on him, and is a JJ (s)Watt clone. If we do select him, and/or maybe Skov, this is what our front-7 will look like: 

                                                Werner           M. Hughes            Chapman              Francois             T. Murphy

                                                                                        K. Conner (or Skov)     Freeman

  3. 1) Matt Barkley--> we need a new QB

    2) Geno Smith --> If Barkley gets selected before we pick

    3) Manti T'eo--> Because you can never have too much run defense

    4) Jonhthan Hankings --> Ohio ST. players are NFL world beaters

    5) Tyrann Mathieu --> Because every deserves a second chance; he's got it all: size, play, athleticism, etc
