I went with 1,251 to 1,500. Unless Betts gets hurt, I don't see Portis getting over 1,500 yards.

Since we are allowed to discuss 
I think he will have over 1500 yards but not more than 1750 or whatever it is. This naturally assumes he will be healthy for the whole season. I expect the O line to sort of pick up where they left off last year with Betts, opening huge holes. It seems that Saunders actually started getting comfortable and familiar with his personnel by season's end last year, and I think that will translate into Portis being the guy he was in 2005.

I said 1,000 to 1,250. With Betts picking up some of the rushing duties, Portis won't have all the opportunities. I do think his TD's will increase, because Betts is allergic to the end zone. He'll get over the 1,000 yard hump, which will be a successful season in my mind if he consistently gets into the end zone.

I went with the 1500-1750 range... I have a feeling that this offense will be EXTREMELY scary if our OLine plays anything like it did at the end of last year (everyone knows on the hR that if Portis had the holes that Betts got, he would have had TDs instead of 20 yard gains). Alternating RBs with WRs that WILL get the ball in their hands... I just can't see how Betts and Portis won't rack up some serious yards if Campbell really has improved as much as everyone's saying he has.

i believe it will be the higher side of 1,251-1,500. the O should be more wide open and we saw what the line did later in the year for betts. a healthy CP will destroy defenses.

I didn't see "A gajillion yards" as a choice. So I voted for 1,251 to 1,500.

With everyone staying healthy .............. Portis/Betts 2500 yards combined.
Now the interesting ? will be - How MANY yards will JC rush for. I'm thinking 500+

I sure hope not, that is a lot of hits on our QB.
1400 yds for Portis.

I see Portis getting over 1500 yards. Not sure how many over, but he will definitely be over 1500. He will be on a mission this year...he has something to prove after coming off of his injury prone year!
I also believe that Betts will have around 800 yards....
only time will tell !!
If JC has 500 yards rushing, I sure hope that all those plays end with JC running out of bounds with out taking a hit!

500-1000 based on him not playing a 16 game schedule, but really I am thinking he'll be right @ 1M.

1 Million yards? That's pretty optimistic...
