Skins Pre-Preseason Prediction Posts

BS soft?? Yeah right. Not buying that. Looking for him and Moses to take that next step hopefully. However wouldn't mind seeing TN get a shot at LG. He's been more than solid when he's been in there. He and Moses are very very large human beings. Lerib and Long are barely serviceable NFL players.

This team still has flaws. 7 or 8 wins is where I see things.

Skins go 8 and 8 facing a tougher schedule, but we see standout offensive line play and a somewhat improved defense. Cousins passes for almost 4,000 yards, but also throws 20 + interceptions mostly due to being forced to throw so much as we are frequently behind late in the games. Running game again struggles with no clear starter, but Matt Jones is serviceable and manages 800 yards rushing. Tag used on Cousins again next off season as Skins still don't know which way they want to go at QB.

KC isn't going to throw 20 plus ints. Just stop with that nonsense.

20 picks would be almost doubling his total from last year, yeah I don't see that happening either.

Really love this stat from football outsiders...they take a look interceptions, interceptions percentages and most important, how many times interceptions were dropped which should have caught and intercepted.

Basically, its an analysis of just how careless QBs are when throwing the ball. As we can see, Cousins did a damn good job last year. He improved versus the biggest obstacle of his career, interceptions and what was more amazing, he did it with a lack of a good Running game.

He would have to take a full step back to throw 20 int....its not impossible, but improbable.

Good point! He may well be one of our 5 best OL. I like your idea of giving him a shot to win the starting job at LG. I'll be keeping an eye on his play tonight with that in mind.

11-5. Division champs. Winning a home playoff game.

Our defense is really weak at the line of scrimmage, and up the middle. Running back position is really bad. We've gotten some big strengths, but also some really weak positions.

I think 500 would be good with our schedule, so 8-8.

We beat the browns, lions, ravens, vikings, and bears. We go atleast 4-2 in the division. Steal just one - maybe Pitt at home in a fired up atmosphere - and thats ten.

Our defense is better (younger), offense is better (lots of depth) KC is better, running game will surprise (Marshall was at one time a 5 star recruit).

I'm a little surprised so many don't seem to think we can improve on last year.
