djfarr00 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I maybe the only one who thinks this, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Reed extended for 2 years prior to the start of the season. It will be cap friendly and will seal him up for a couple of more years if he does finally break out an will be cuttable if he doesn't. I expect Reed to actually do well this year, and wouldn't be surprised to see 800 yards, 60 catches and 6 TD's. 307799[/snapback] do you also see JP breaking marinos passing yards record this year?
VABills Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 do you also see JP breaking marinos passing yards record this year? 307858[/snapback] No. I see Moulds getting 80 or so catches and around 11-1200 yards. Evans will get about 65 and close to 1000. Actually I wouldn't be surprised to see less numbers from one or the other due to injuries. I don;t see much from the TE's to be honest, and Mcgahee and other backs should get 30 or so ctaches for 300 yards. That is roughly 3200 yards and 240 completions.

VABills Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Injuries aside, how many wins? 307872[/snapback] Tough to tell until we figure out who the LT is and whether Losman can do it in crunch time. I think with Mcgahee in that Losman will have more time, as Drew did last year, just because he keeps teams honest and is a better blocker. That said, I think our defense will suffer some if Mcgee is still a starting corner as teams will be able to review film from last year and take advantage of him.

I doub't Losman gets to throw so much. Even Big Ben was given a conservative play calling and was asked to throw 15 to 20 times a game.

Which is 21 passes per game. I expect with only Willis as a true threat on the team Losman will have to throw closer to 25-30 times per game to keep a 50-50 split on runs to passes. If he completes 65% or so that is about 17 completions per game. Moulds average 5 gets him 80 catches Evans averages 4 gets him 64 catches Running backs average 2 per gets them 32 TE average 2.5 per game gets them 40 That leaves about 3.5 catches average for everyone else. If Reed averages 3 per game that gets him 56 catches. As far as yards go, expecting Losman to average 200 is not asking a lot. Ben had 2600 yards in 13 starts and that was throwing less.

Ben had 2600 yards in 13 starts and that was throwing less. 307925[/snapback] That seems pretty reasonable. Where I would differ is that I expect the running backs to get a lot more receptions. Especially if Losman knows how to throw a screen pass and swing pass and dump pass and flat pass the way Drew couldn't. Plus the Bills were pleasantly surprised by Shelton's hands. Not to mention the fact that since he scrambles a lot, there could be a lot of dump offs to the RBs. I expect more like 3-4 per game from the backs. Also, Losman's "rawness" isn't the same thing as a lot of rookie and first year quarterbacks who struggle because they don't have the skills and the goods. He has the experience and the legs and the smarts and the talent. His problems to me are going to be the bad reads and the mistakes, throwing the ball where he shouldn't, rather than not being able to get the ball downfield. Big Ben is a cautious quarterback, at least that is the way he played for the Steelers. I don't really see The Bills doing that even though we will run Willis a lot. Losman could very well put up high passing yard numbers, but with a bunch of interceptions, although he wasn't known for that in college.
ganesh Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 If he completes 65% or so that is about 17 completions per game. 307925[/snapback] That is asking a rookie QB a lot
Kelly the Dog Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 That is asking a rookie QB a lot 308053[/snapback] He's not a rookie.
VABills Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 That is asking a rookie QB a lot 308053[/snapback] Sorry that was supposed to be 55% is equal to about 17 completions. 65% would be about 21 completions.
ganesh Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 He's not a rookie. 308063[/snapback] He is not rookie technically, but he is a rookie from the perspective of starting football games in this league. My comment was not bring JP down in any way, but the fact that to ask the rookie to do so much with a team that still has its OL unsettled is asking a bit too much. Plus, I really can't see the 1st WR catching 5 catches, the 2nd catching 4 and the 3rd catching 3.....When the team is in rhythm, the offense is going to go to the 2 main wideouts...
renfruzetz Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I'll be very happy with 37 catches, 500 yds & 2 TD's with 2 starts.
frogger Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 If we can get an additional 2nd, like the eagles 2nd, I would be extremely happy to get Vincent Jackson, GREAT size 6'5" 240-sub 4.5 speed, can spread the field and block. but I wouldn't use the only 2nd we have. I am hoping that he falls to the 3rd round, but it's unlikely
Fixxxer Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I think we will draft Roydell Williams out of Tulane, projected to go from the 6th round to UFA.
its only real shh Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 I'm not disappointed in Aiken, yet. Yet as in if he doesnt step it up this year like his N.C. companion Ronald Curry did last year then yeah i"ll be disappointed. Reed, well he's had time and opportunity to step up his game and he hasnt. He could be replaced with ease, by a 3rd rounder, say Mathis from Hampton, I think its Hampton...or Howard cant remember right now.
