a few notes:

-obviously these are not exact predicted number, just rounded estimations (no i dont think they will all end in 5's and 0's) and also i realize that many players have no stats, that doesnt mean that i think they wont accumulate any, just that there numbers will be somewhat insignificant. the take portion of the give and take for the above numbers can go to these guys.

As you may have noticed, i expect solid improvement across the board. I think Cam will be more consistent. I think he will run the ball a little less but we as a team will run more than last year. Hardy and Johnson should both benefit from getting healthy and finally having some decent players around them.

any input is accepted and appreciated (but that doesn't mean that you have to be rude).
