Dutch 874 Posted July 10, 2013 It's more about if he can stay out of trouble Dez Bryant has been trouble free for about a year. Don't let the media paint a picture for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crash 105 Posted July 10, 2013 Dez Bryant has been trouble free for about a year. Don't let the media paint a picture for you. So that's one year out of 4? I don't think he's Aaron Hernandez mind you but he's only a step away from pacman jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJORN 679 Posted July 10, 2013 Tier One -Eric Weddle: Best safety in the game; missing in 2012 was a joke. -Corey Liuget: Good enough to go in 2012 and should be better this year. Tier Two -Philip Rivers: If new scheme/personnel are enough for him to return to 2008-10 form. -Antonio Gates: He needs to stay healthy, but if he does he ought to have the TD's to get a spot. -Kendall Reyes: Great rookie season, so projected progress could get him there. -Donald Butler: Should post some very good numbers. Tier Three -Ryan Mathews: Always that outside chance he stays healthy, and the run blocking will be better. -D.J. Fluker: If his pass pro is adequate, his run blocking might be enough to get him the nod. -Vincent Brown: I expect big things. -Derek Cox: Health is an issue often with him, but the talent is there. -Manti Te'o: Could well be leading tackler and he's already a popular name. I'd go ahead and throw Danario Alexander in tier 3, other then that agree 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KempBolt 498 Posted July 10, 2013 I actually think Ridley is going to have a MONSTER year! With all the lack of receiving talent the pats have it only makes sense that they will return to the offense that one them some super bowls and that's the ground game They were already #2 in rushing attempts last year behind Seattle. The issues at WR and TE probably benefit Vereen more than Ridley. I'd expect Ridley to basically repeat what he did in 2012. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd expect Ridley to basically repeat what he did in 2012. But running the ball a bunch and centering your offense around it are a little different. The pats just ran the ball because defenses tried to use lite formations against them but now they can't fall back on Welker, they can't fall back on the TE so it's almost a need to go back to power I formations and simplify the offense to try and get the young wr up to speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted July 10, 2013 Tier 1 Michael Roos Andy Levitre Chris Johnson Tier 2 Chance Warmack(based off how much hype he's received nationally and likely hood to be a great guard immediately) Derrick Morgan David Stewart Tier 3 Kenny Britt(assuming he stays healthy/out of trouble, but it's assuming a lot. Has the talent for it though) Bernard Pollard Jurrell Casey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you run the ball 500 times because you want to it's not like the backs have any less opportunity than if you run the ball 500 times because you need to.

For Ridley it does because he is their best RB. If they were going to continue to build around the passing game vereen will see more action. It just means Ridley will get the better split of the carries which would give him a better chance at the probowl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Zach Brown could have a shot. I was trying to go more off of a "who they're most likely to vote for" than a "who actually deserves it" list. Granted, I think Roos, Levitre and potentially Warmack and Johnson are pro bowl caliber players(Stewart is as well when healthy, but I'm curious as to how his broken leg will effect his play, given strength has been his biggest asset as an RT). If I'm going off of talent/skill, the Titans best players would probably be: 1. Roos 2. Levitre 3. Stewart(when healthy) 4. Bironas 5. Morgan 6. Kern 7. CJ(he could be as high as 1 or not even on the top 10 at all depending on the team's situation, so I'll just throw him here..) 8. Casey 9. Brown 10. McCourty Britt could also be on this list based on talent..but we know why he's not. Pretty sad when your 3 best players are all offensive linemen, and your top 6 includes your kicker and punter.

Crash 105 Posted July 10, 2013 But they already ran more than 30 other teams. How much more are they going to run? They run a very fast offense so I assume they will have the most attempts in the league, it's just Ridley will have more then he did last year because he is obviously their best RB when it comes to pounding the rock.

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted July 11, 2013 Tier One Ndamukong Suh - Probably gonna be another year of terrorizing opponent backfields. Calvin Johnson - Obvious answer is obvious. Nick Fairley - Like Suh, gonna be terrorizing backfields, I think their's a good chance they both make it. Tier Two Matt Stafford - I have him here as a result of his production, etc. Reggie Kush - Gonna be used in every facet of the offense.
