HD6, great topic on today's show. I think the over/under for Fitz passing yards (2500) was pretty good. I would go over at around 2700. I think the leading receiver at 600 yards was a really good number. I don't know which way to go on that... I do not think we'll have one guy separate himself based on the offensive scheme, but agree with you and Joel that we could have a couple/few guys around 500.
The number that was way off was Aeris over/under 1200 yards. Good grief, man. Do you not listen to what Huff and Moorhead say about this position? He and Kylin are going to split carries and they are looking for speed and explosiveness, so there's just no way Aeris gets close to 1200 unless Kylin gets hurt. He's not getting 200 carries or 6 ypc. Let's say he has his best year at State and gets 5.5. I think it would be a stretch to get even 175 carries, but let's say he does that too. That's just over 960 yards. Reading the tea leaves of what the coaches are putting out, plus what we've seen from Aeris in his career, I would say 150 carries and 5.5 are probably the high end data points, so about 825 yards.
This is NOT a bash Aeris post, it's just apparent that Kylin will be a key feature of the offense this year. Fitz will run it a lot too, just not by pounding it up the middle with an empty backfield, and we'll throw it more, so the Kylin carries will have to come mostly from Aeris. There's no way around it.
One thing you were exactly right about... Two kids is plenty enough (Congrats to Joel).
