Close Call #21: Braylon Edwards vs Eddie Royal

[lowsingle24]

Braylon has not done anything this offseason to warrant a bounce back season. While i believe his stats will be higher than last year, I have very high expectations for Eddie Royal. Orton not being nearly as sure handed as Cutler, will settle for the safe option more than not. Royal will line up in that slot and receive many of those passes. He has been lighting it up in training camp, and with Marshall not being healthy he will prove that he is just if not more talented this season. Royal could end up catching 100 passes, with 1000+ yards with the tds around 7. Remember Orton had much success last year to start before his injuries took a hold of him, so do not underestimate him.

Going with the Maize and Blue.

Hopefully you're not basing this on UM's recent history of providing top WR talent to the NFL.

yes there are not many schools that have a great record for kicking out WR talent... even the USC and Florida wideouts tend to bust more often than not. Michigan tends to kick out one guy every 2 years or so... but you are right none have been great lately.

We do have Amani Toomer, Steve Breaston, and Edwards receiving significant playing time right now and Manningham and Avant sitting in the wings. That's more than most other schools out there... might even be the most.

WRs can come from anywhere at anytime it seems.

Tim Brown...for shizzle.

I was kidding about Rocket. Really Tim Brown is it

 

[Sgt John]

Just checking. I did find it interesting that he blew all his money.

 

[Little Big Head]

Royal with the way Edwards has been playing. Can you say flashback to last year?
