I haven’t seen this thread anywhere else yet so I thought I would make one.
Who’s your prediction for both? Please give reasons behind your selections.
I’ll go first. I feel offensive rookie of the year comes down to 3 people.
1. Randall Cobb – I look at him and see a slightly less physically gifted Percy Harvin without migraine problems. That excites me immensely. I feel he’s been the thing we’ve been missing on offense. He brings such versatility to our team and hopefully can take over return duties as well. I trust McCarthy will find ways to get him the ball in space.
2. Julio Jones – If he can’t succeed in this situation then he won’t succeed anywhere. He has a solid qb and a well run offense to get him the ball, AND he’ll NEVER have to deal with double teams due to Roddy’s presence on the field. I am not that high on him personally. I feel he drops too many balls and has some injury concerns.
3. Mark Ingram – He also comes into a very favorable situation. This is a team with a great passing attack and a very good o line. I can’t see him NOT doing well unless he gets injured. He has all the tools. If Pierre Thomas can run well in this offense, Ingram should too.
Defensive Rookie of the year I am having a hard time with. I really am not sure who will win though I am going to say Brooks Reed. I know a lot of people here aren’t high on him but he is an above average athlete with a VERY fast first step. At the very least he’ll get a few sacks. Another thing he’ll have going for him is that defense will improve immensely and people love comeback/underdog stories and playing on the Texans will help his cause if Wade Phillips turns that d into a top 10 or 15 unit (I think he will) and they make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.
