    I can easily see 1200 APY too. I thought we were just talking about rushing yards though.

    ~900 rushing, ~300 receiving.

  • I voted for 500-999, but can see over 1000. Teams will be stacking the box against the Browns. He's essentially a known commodity. Until Weeden can make defenses pay for loading the box, they will be playing to stop Trent. I think he'll average right around 60 yards a game. A little more, and he'll be over 1000, but I think he'll be somewhere between 900 and 1000.

    The key for Trent is Weeden doing well.

    no way will teams be able to stack the box anymore. Defenses WILL have to respect the downfield throw or the dumpoff to the TE if they try to stack it.

    Teams don't need to respect anything until the Browns can prove they can do it. They know the Browns can run the ball, and that Trent is a good runner. The Browns receivers need to show that defenses need to respect them before teams will stop stacking the box. They are, as of now, still unproven.

  • Who knows how many yards he'll have but I'd like to see him between 200-250 carries and 30-40 catches.

    No more than 250 carries though I'd like to see him play for us effectively for more than 5 seasons let's not run this truck into the ground too soon.

    I GUARANTEE he will rush for 2,000 yards in 2012.

    Let me say it again.... I guarantee he will rish for 2,000 yards in 2012.

    Is he as good as Jim Brown, and Ernie Davis? Yes, he is.

    YOu got an NFL who all believe teh Browns can't run, you have a world class LT to run teh sweep, you have a guy who can turn shit into shinola, inside or out, and you have a QB who when he rolls right, or feints at play action, WILL freeze teh defense to react.

    Add to this that Weeden and ichardson will take a little slice of the defensive pressure off of little and Cribbs, and the Browns will have an explosive offense.

    Richardson will rush for 2000 yards.

    I like your thinking, and am ecstatic about taking Richardson. About time we figured scoring wins games. He likely will be way below 2000 yards but 1500 seems very attainable assuming Weeden finds some receivers to D's honest and plays up to the hype

    I think teams will learn in the 1st preseason game that weeden will make you pay if you try and stack the box. We will have a very balanced attack this year. Sure teams will still try and stack the box some and pretty much dare weeden to beat them, but Brandons the real deal and unlike Q.B's of the past he will make them respect the Browns passing game very early on. I have high hopes for the O this year cant wait for the season to start!!

    This is going to sound a little weird, but go with me here.

    Not many teams put too much stock in how well players do in the preseason (meaning, if a player goes lights out in a game, that's not exactly a sure bet that he'll go lights out in the regular season). Colt Brennan in the Hall of Fame Game a few years back and John Beck in his preseason games last year can attest to that. Beck looked like an actual NFL quarterback in the preseason, but he absolutely sucked in the regular season.

    I'm not saying that's going to happen with Weeden, but he'll need to prove it in the regular season before teams actually respect what he can do.

    I know what your sayin, still teams will get the hint very early on...

    as for T.R. i can see him going for 1300 rushing and 350 receiving 15 total TDs

    Also the O will benefit greatly from his pass blocking

  • @king-ghoolie-lives said:

    Come tell me about it in January.

    The NFL today is easy to make huge statistics in. The level of discipline today is so lx, this kid may very well have 1200 yards after 5 games.

    2,000 yards is guaranteed. I will project him at 28 touchdowns, as well.

    Are you saying 2000+ rushing or 2000+ rushing and receiving combined?

    You trollin' ghoolie. There's no way he gets 2000 yards in his rookie season. No way.

    He'll get 2000 yards in year 2 perhaps?....though, is it fair to say that the NWCO is not necessarily designed to be a runningbackcentric offense? That could limit his yardage somewhat.

  • If Richardson is to ever rush for 2k I'd hope it would be in his third of fourth season.

    I mean historically haven't guys always went downhill after running for 2000?

    Let's keep the treads on the tires for when we are almost to the top of the mountain.

  • I think he'll get 1,200 rushing & 400 receiving. It's a big number but I think it's attainable.

    I'll monkey wrench your party, watch our WCO calling last year we're gonna be more than a 60/40 pass run this year, look for Rich to get 1500-2000 all purpose yards but not a straight out 2000 yard rushing season.

    If you believe he rushes for 2k in a west coast system lay the crack pipe down hand me all your vegas cash and let me wager on something a little safer then the white funkadelic that you are hitting there. No RB dropped 2k in a WCO ever don't expect it when our defense is gonna be on the field 70% of the time.

    Do you honestly think the coaching staff is that fucking stupid to draw in 2-5 yard routes, or not to correct it if that's what guys were running.

    Intersting this sounds familiar

    are we playing in the ACC conference now?

    Atlantic Coast Conference Conference?

  • Somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500.

  • @king-ghoolie-lives said:

    The WR's aren't running routes of 2 -5 yards. Never were. COlt McCoy was throwing the ball before they could get more than 5 yards down the field.

    Do you honestly think the coaching staff is that fucking stupid to draw in 2-5 yard routes, or not to correct it if that's what guys were running.

    WHen you don't have QB, teams jam your cock into your face.

    Trust me, guys like you, who , with all due respect, are football simpletons, all of a sudden shout out... WOW< why didn't we run these deeper routes last year...................

    IT IS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A QB last year.

    Weeden holds on to the ball a wee bit linger, throws it anticipating the break and VOILA................ defense , ESPECIALLY in teh first 8 games of the year, will get burner with a lot of Browns BIG passing plays.

    Richardson will have a lot of open field opprtunities on this offense, he is going to have a LOT of big wide open field to run in.

    2000 yards, teh Browns go as high as 12 -4, definately sweep teh Steelers, AND win a playoff game.

    BAMM........ THAT's how important the QB position is.

    I've got the Browns at 12-4 for the season and Home Field in the Playoffs.

  • COlt McCoy was throwing the ball before they could get more than 5 yards down the field. Ghoolie

    *********************************************

    because he HAD TO. The RT was letting the rush come in like he wasn't there. That isn't Colt's fault.

    It's the RT's fault. When other qb's on other teams sometimes get 8 seconds to throw the freakin pass,

    Colt all too often had to unload the pass in 1.5. And, MoMass is a long strider - doesn't get open quickly.

    Swartz is the dramatic addition that will enable the other players to really make plays work.

  • Richardson will make Jim Brown a weak memory.

    Jim Brown is still my all time favorite Cleveland Brown, and yes i am wearing my JIM BROWN Jersey to the first game of the year to honor that man for what he brought when he played, with that being said IF and i mean IF T.Rich drops 7-9 years here as a monster and gets us into the playoff/superbowl hunts.... then POSSIBLY and i mean only POSSIBLY will i give that same level of respect but he ain't earned shit yet and i wouldn't go as far as you did by DISRESPECTING a fucking legend like that, you are a dick.
