see title. I think AJ Hawk will become a truly special player this year.

Only if the coaches give him the freedom to do so. He's already good. I think Jason Spitz will take a major step forward and become a solid starting OG.

If he can stay healthy, I really believe that Will Blackman will be a very good player as a CB. If he stays healthy, he easily will be our number 3 corner next year. Am predicting about 4 ints from him.

I think Bobby Sanders will have the pressure on him to bring the heat more often.

greg jennings= pro bowl

and i agree that its more then overdue for the coaches to take the reigns off hawk. he will be a star, IF they let him play

[Brando19]

Brandon Jackson. The O Line is better than when he had a chance and he'll be a great player for us next year.

Jones and Rouse

[Green Bud Packer]

Mason Crosby. He's going to show how big of a leg he's got this season.

Jones is a reasonable choice. The kid showed potential last year, but hit the wall over the course of the season. He caught at least 4 passes in each of the first 5 games of the year...but I think the aftermath of the Chicago game really shook the kid up and he all but disappeared by December. I wouldn't be shocked to see Jones rack up 75 catches next season.

However, I think Bigby probably is the guy I would look at if you are talking about the potential for the BIGGEST step. Bigby's play in December and into the postseason was strong...he certainly improved as the year went on. I was one of his biggest critics this year, and I'm still not sure he can pull it all together in terms of coverage. However, if Rouse steps up and can become a ballhawk (which I think he can), that opens it up for Bigby to play closer to the line of scrimmage. The kid is a great athlete...and he has a nose for the ball when the play is in front of him. If he has a reliable coverage player at the other safety position, Bigby could become a huge force as an 8th man in the box.

Bigby will be on the minds of every wide out who plays against the Pack this season.

Rouse or Bigby.

My money is on Mason Crosby.
