Well first my break out player is Brad Jones,I think this guy has very good potential to be a nasty OLB.He very much impressed me in the Pittsburgh game last year.Hes very fast and he's prob got stronger in the offseason he could very well have 8 sacks this year and 60+ tackles,he did a nice job taking kampmans place last year and put up 4 sacks I think he will only get better.

My break down player is Donald Lee,he seems to be declining every year here take a look at the past three years...
2007 48 catches 575 yards 6 tds
2008 39 catches 303 yards 5 tds
2009 37 catches 260 yards 1 td
Plus we know Jmike took his starting role and will lose his playing time hes getting older and is not performing as we would like I think he"ll do worse this year as JF will be targeted a lot.And I think we took Andrew Quarless in the draft to replace him down the road.

Who are ur guys break out and break down player u dont have to agree with me I just want to know other peoples opinions on there break out and break down players.

Breakout: I agree with you on Brad Jones. Because the team did well last year, and almost all of the starters and major role players are coming back, there aren't a lot of candidates for breakout seasons. I guess the next most likely after Jones would be Morgan Burnett, but first he has to battle for a starting job in training camp.

Breakdown: I hate predicting this, but I will go with an obvious choice: Chad Clifton. I don't know if his knees can get him through a full season. I think Donald Lee's production will stabilize. It doesn't sound like Quarless is ready to push him for the #2 TE spot yet.

Who I hope will break out: someone on OL.
Who I think will break out: Pat Lee.

Who I fear will break down: Rodgers (because of OL).
Who I think will break down: Clifton and/or Tauscher.

Did Arod breakdown last year when are oline was horrid nope he still put up great numbers,plus i think are oline is gonna be a lot better than last year.
I agree with clifton but tauscher can hold up longer.

Breakout - Quinn Johnson
Breakdown - Nick Collins


Edit, to be different is all 🙂

---

Im curious why do u think Collins will breakdown?

---

Breakout: Justin Harrell (If he even plays ) (Purely wishful thinking)
Breakdown: Chad Clifton (I really hope I'm wrong.)

Why Harrell of all people breakout?? I think he's a sure bust,and he's been injured every year.

I actually think BJ Raji will breakout as well he can finally show why we drafted him last year 9th overall.

I'm not sure what people consider to be "breakout" based on their choice of Brad Jones.

Statistically, Jones put up some similar stats to Kampman. I'm saying Jones "breakout" year was last year. Dude filled in for a veteran and our D didn't miss a beat. His stats, extrapolated for a full 16 game season, come out to around 70 tackles and 8 sacks. Compared to Clay from last year, he exceeds his tackle production and comes pretty close to matching his sack production.

Expecting anything more from Jones is, frankly, missing the point of the LOLB in Capers' 3-4 D. Some advanced metrics for Kampy and Jones make one thing very obvious: the LOLB's job in this defense is to defend the run just as much as rush the passer. In other words, if Jones exceeds the 10 sack mark, I think it is only because Clay Matthews suffered an injury.

I meant break down as in "get hurt." If Rodgers has many years (or half years, to be fair to the OL last year) like the first half of next year, he will be knocked out for one or more games. He's a great player. But bang on anyone enough, and a knee or a shoulder or a ankle is going to go.
