Breakout Players

Which players do you think have breakout seasons? On offense, I'm going with John Ross. I think he will be Titus Young, minus being a bi-polar schizophrenic. Peterman is going to know how to use him. He's going to be a great returner too. Before the season last year, Ross was the guy Sark was pumping up, not Stringfellow. It would be sweet to have both, but I think Ross is getting slept on. He's going to be a weapon. I think Dwayne Washington will be a good RB too.

On defense, there aren't many choices except for the secondary. The front 7 is pretty established and the young guys who play there will probably only get spot duty barring injury. I'm going with Jermaine Kelly. Hopefully he can be a solid starter at CB.

    I know he's already good but I'm going with Shaq Thompson.

    I think he's going to be a national name after this year.

    Ross is going to be very good on kick returns. Last season he really improved in the second half. He had a TD against Cal called back. He had that long one to start off the Oregon St game. Then he had the TD against BYU. I wouldn't be surprised if he had 4 TD's this year given the dreckfest schedule.

    My pick for D is Shirley if he's still here. He was a sack machine when he was on the field all the time. I think this staff will get a lot out of him.

    Shirley with his 11th year of eligibility should indeed be pretty good with solid coaching.

    Im gonna go with Miles. He will be helped out by Washington's n/s style and Ross/Mickens stretching the field, but his running ability and poise in the pocket will get him serious recognition.

    Defense: Buddha. He'll pick up the D really fast and will be a ball hawk.

    Honest question, is Budda really that good? Dmc pumped that kid like a Macy's parade balloon, which finally got me thinking that he's overrated. I've seen him play a couple times on TV. Athletic as hell, but pretty small.

    Yeah I don't necessarily think he'll be a complete player right away but he'll have some timely picks and make enough of an impact to be considered a "break out player" for a true freshman.

    I like to use the word "established." It's what I like to do.
