Matt Milano/Terrel Bernard...over/under 10.5 combined Sacks/INT's/Forced Fumbles/Fumble Recoveries??

[Special K]

I tried this one last year, but Milano's Bicep injury in training camp quickly ended the suspense in that one, so I thought I would try it again this year.

 

I have also included a games missed due to injury question as well.

 

I'm really not sure what to expect from Milano at this point, and even Bernard had a lackluster season last year as well, but if these guys can both stay healthy, could they re-capture the promise they showed playing together in the first five games of the season two years ago before Milano's season ending leg injury??

 

I think there is a case to be made for the over, such as the increased strength of the Defensive line and size of the Defensive tackles freeing them up to make more plays, but recent injury history is hard to overlook....

 

My Prediction:

 

My gut tells me to take the under on production and the over on games missed due to injury, but I would really love to see what these two guys could do if they stayed healthy for an entire season together.

 

I am going to split the difference, and say they both will stay healthy this year, but not quite reach the number of 11 to take the over in production....under on production, but also under on games missed due to injury.

 

What do you think??

Milano is becoming brittle the last two seasons, am sure it's why we got Shaq Thompson as insurance. Bernard missed his rookie year but since been relatively healthy but two guys playing 25/34 hard to do when once has played 9/34. Also turnovers are so hard to predict sure some players have the gift to cause them but hard to predict and sacks even moreso especially with blitzing LBs. With the improvements on the Dline our LBs might actually stay clean and beable to maintain rush lanes and stop the run again but we'll see.

Not in this case

Looks like we have some optimists on this one so far....
