Breakout player of the year

[retailguy]

Holy shit, some optimism? ?

I know it's backhanded and assuming teh offense can't move the ball, but for you to expect a guy to improve is very rare

Wrong. This is how I know you can't read. I've said plenty of times that guys will step up and improve, I just don't think enough will do it at the same time THIS YEAR to make the team what you think it'll be.

I've got big hopes for several guys.

Most notably, besides Ryan, are Collins, Jenkins, Colledge (though I think he's a better tackle), and Hawk.

If they don't step up, this team is finished.

FERGY!!!




I actually voted Jennings. Love to see him have a big year.

Me too, GB007, he'll be coming back after his
ankle has healed, and then we'll turn him LOOSE !!

I think Collins will break out more than Hawk...mainly because the impact of the improvement on the DL typically is of greater benefit to the DBs than it is for the LBs. Our LBs will see fewer runs...and when they do, the DL will be more likely to take some tackles away.

Besides, Hawk played very well last year...and we all more or less figured he was a potential Pro Bowl level player within the next 2-3 years. Collins barely hung on to his job at points during last season...and could emerge as a real playmaker in 2007.
