I'm thinking under 1100 yards rushing, but I do think he'll go over 2000 total yards because I'm imagining his role as one such that he lines up in the slot for the first two downs, and then is our third down back.

God I hope so, and I think he will. The guy is already throwing, about 4-6 weeks ahead of schedule. We've all seen the kinds of things he's been doing to get ready for this season and to make sure that everybody's together and on the same page. I think he'll start every game and have a good season (3000 yards).

I still think I'm going to say under here, even despite getting Fujita and Simmons. Fujita isn't much of a pass rusher, and while Simmons is one of the fastest linebackers in the league, I just can't see him getting that many. And I still think Colby Bockwoldt is awful, and if he even tried to get a sack the QB would probably stiff arm him to the ground.

Definitely over. If an incompetent coach like Jim Haslett who instilled no discipline or drive in his team could last so long, I definitely think a guy like Payton who seems to be concerned with doing all of the little things right will be here for a while.

Maybe it's just springtime optimism, but I think over. Like everybody's been saying, we lost a lot of games last year because of one or two plays. We lost the biggest turnover and dumb decision maker perhaps in the history of the game, to be replaced with one of the best leaders and smartest QBs in the league right now. We also have a revamped LB corps and a guy named Reggie Bush.
