Predict James Conner's Statline vs the Browns

It's pretty clear JC is going to be starting game 1. Even if Bell comes in on Wednesday like Pouncey suggests, it's doubtful Bell will have much of an impact on the game. Whats your Stat prediction for JC's first NFL start?

I'll go

109 yards rushing 1TD
4 rec for 33 yards

 

22 carries for 81 yards
2 receptions for 7 yards
2 TD's running behind Nix, as is should be.

 

Browns be Brownin', but they are better this year than last. Thay have some decent pieces on defense. JC is gonna have a grind early, but passing game will eventually open up some running lanes and he will get a few good pops.

23 Carries
87 yards
1 TD.

 

Just hope this kid has a good showing.

 

This is the moment of a lifetime. I have no doubt he will have a good showing. I am worried about pass protection.

 

What was AP's record? 296?

 

So you are saying 297?

 

I could see that 80-90 yard range like some have mentioned. I hope I'm wrong and he goes for 120 but that Clev. D will be up to the task I think. Pass attack will have more success imo

 

I think Tomlin is going to play him early but will be quick with the hook in order to try and get Bell going. I'm gonna say 11 carries for 59 yards. 3 receptions for 22, 1 TD short yardage at the Goal Line.

 

14 carries for 57 yards 1 TD
3 catches for 22 yards

 

I hope the kid shines. Maybe we split time with Bell all year. That would hit Bell in the wallet next year.

 

JC if Bell plays? 15 carries 65 yds

JC if Bell doesn't play? 22 carries 84 yds,

Here is hoping dirty thirty has a heckuva season.

 

Conner is more capable than Bell of breaking some big runs for 15+ yards. Hope we see some of that on Sunday.

 

20 carries
93 yards
1 T.D.
2 receptions 21 yards

 

17 carries for 49 yards, 4 catches for 59 yards.

 

18 for 82 yds 1 td
3 rec for 24 yds

 

17 carries for 82 yards, 1 TD
3 catches for 34 yards

 

1 W

 

Bell wont play in this game even if he showed up tomorrow he would only get 1 or 2 days practice with saturday a travel day, talk about rust being his first game in 8 months with no OTAs no camp with a new offense, he would be a joke in this game.....

 

This. Conner gives the Steelers the best chance to win on the road... even if it is the lowly Browns. More often than not, Browns games end up being nail-biters the Steelers win in the last minutes.

 

25 Carrie's
143 yes

7 rec
84 yes

2 total TDs (1 each)

 

19 for 90.
2 catch for 23
1 TD

I think Ridley is going get some carries too.

 

Run like the wind JC.

 

20 carries 87 yards, goal Line TD following Rosie Nix

3 catches 18 yards
