I know, I know - As fans these are going to look whacked... Well, TWEAK THEM and POST THEM.... I personally think LT gets a lot more play as does Braylon while Cotch gets slightly less... But, overall, the projections are based on the facts that the Jets ran an incredible amount of times last year and that will most likely come down a bit. . . . .

That's terrible. Tomlinson catching less passes than Greene? Sanchez throwing that many INTs? Edwards have little to no production at all...and carrying the ball 10 times?
They seem to have just copied last season stats and changed a few numbers around or adjusted the stats based on the amount of playing time a player is going to get. I agree, pretty terrible.
LT catches 12 passes all season?? His worst season, 2009 he caught 20 and that was in 14 games. Next was 51 catches up to 100. That's insane with the offense he'll be in now.
Exactly! Tomlinson will have more catches than Greene. I could live with Sanchez's predictions although that might a few more ints than I predict. Edwards had more production in his 12 games with Jets last season than this stupid projection. Holmes averaging just over 3 catches in his 12 games as #2 if not #1? J. McKnight averaging only 4 YPC? He will get carries late in the game to give a breather to LT and SG. I think he'll average between 5 to 6. Dustin Keller getting only 549 yards? Seriously, it be his third season as a pass catching TE. Second season with Sanchez who has 3 #1 WRs that WILL demand much more coverage and double teaming than having Brad Smith as the #3. I can see Dustin exploding this year.
Shonn Greene had 1 reception in the preseason and one in the post season while none in the regular season. Granted he only had 108 rushing attempts last year, but still. I doubt if they use him as catching RB when they have LT to do that job.
Yeah I see that too. Him and Cotch in the slot being MS's safety valve. Everyone expects the D to do well again, but I have a hunch that the O might just be nipping at our Ds heels in rankings.
Sanchez 18 picks :rofl: Yeah this is just bad. Here's a better prediction list to play with: *Some of the number one's may not be right (Chicago has recievers?) but I gave it a shot.* REVIS ISLAND CASTAWAY PREDICTIONS Week1 - Anquan Boldin - Week2 - Randy Moss - Week3 - Brandon Marshal - Week4 - Lee Evans - Week5 - Sydney Rice - Week6 - Demaryius Thomas - Week8 - Donald Driver - Week9 - Calvin Johnson - Week10 - Josh Cribbs - Week11 - Andre Johnson - Week12 - Ochocinco (twitter count optional) - Week13 - Randy Moss - Week14 - Brandon Marshall - Week15 - Hines Ward - Week16 - Freddie Barnes - Week17 - Lee Evans -
One thing I have to say is that, We can't expect Sanchez's numbers to be THAT much higher than listed here.... And we all think LT will catch a lot more balls lets say 30 catches for 300 yards We have to steal those numbers from somewhere - I think it comes from Cotchery's numbers. but, Still...... As crazy as these numbers look, I think we can only tweak them slightly one way or another... Even the Rush numbers, didn't the Jets set a record for Rushes? That rarely happens again, even Balitmore dropped off last year from the year before.
I'm wondering about how this season will start and finish. Rex has already stated we are a run first team, but what if?? What if Mark just explodes this season, we certainly have the weapons and we all know he has the talent. Could you see us turning to a pass heavy offense or do you think Rex will always be a run first guy? If the circumstances end up being that we pass first and run second I would actually love to see that. As long as it's productive obviously.
Jet Blue didn't come up with those numbers, it was another guy at the site he linked in the OP. I am assuming that JB is 'Reaper' on that board.
They aren't my numbers - They were posted at FBG by one of the Staff members... He's a Chargers fan so, IMO, he thinks LT is washed up and went from there. Regardless, I think it's a decent starting point and the overall numbers are based on rational TEAM Totals based on the league in general... Again, the rush totals for the Jets were way off the charts last year, not sure if anyone can expect that again.
I think the overall totals are pretty skewed toward last season's totals. I think the rushing totals will be lower, passing will be higher, especially as the season goes on. This is of course going by the assumption that Schotty is going to call an intelligent gameplan. I don't believe that the Jets should run a simply balanced offense throughout the season - the roster now gives them the freedom to truly attack the weakness of the opponent's defense. Last year, when we played against teams with weak rushing defense, we capitalized, while we still sort of struggled and tried running the ball all day long against teams with weak pass defense. With the addition of LT and Holmes after week 4, we now have the type of roster to truly tailor an attack against the weakness of the opposing team. Sanchez is of course the wildcard here, because if he struggles early, we may end up going back to the old Ground and Pound no matter who we are facing, but I am erring on the side of optimism with that one.
I stopped reading when I saw that Woodhead was still listed as a running back and Chauncey Washington was still listed as on the team.
