(Assuming Cullen Jenkins is gone as everyone is predicting) It had better be someone playing DE.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I would go with Neal, easily. Burnett got outplayed by a journeyman, Charlie Peprah, after he went down with an injury last year. Quarless was awful, and I sure am tired of hearing how the fact that Finley sucked as a rookie and then got good in his second year means that Quarless should do the same thing. Jordy Nelson is not a bad choice, but he has already kind of made his splash. Starks could also be good, but only if Grant gets hurt again or fails to completely recover from his injury.

Also if asked to focus on DE and maybe lose a little weight I wouldn't be surprised to see DL Green step it up as he (like Raji) has surprise pass rush for 335+ pounds... and maybe a little lighter he could move even better.

Burnett was playing out of position IMO. He's a FS/CB who didn't take attacking angles in the run game nor willing to get in there fast and hit the guy. Burnett was great at covering, but bad with the physical side of S. Peprah played better because it was his true position at SS.

Quarless could seriously move, though he couldn't catch to well. If he can fix that problem I think he could have a break out, though I'm guessing it's not going to be suddenly fixed. Unless they figure out he has bad eye sight or something and simple contacts fix the problem.

I've been waiting for Nelson to break out, and he kind of did at the end of the season, and some say possible broken the Super Bowl receiving yards record if he didn't drop all those passes.

But one I think most are over looking is ZOMBO... first year playing OLB does a good job starting and has the tools to improve. He has the bull rush which Coach Greene has said he likes to use to set up other moves (which Greene made a great career out of). Zombo doesn't yet seem to have the other pass rush moves down. But he does very good against the run in attacking and controlling his gaps. And doesn't do bad in coverage.

I like what you say about Zombo, beast. He played well. Maybe the coaches are expecting big things from him, which may have contributed to Ted's decision not to draft an OLB until the later rounds.

I think this is the year for Justin Harrell (I said that last year). He's not going to have a better opportunity, considering Cullen Jenkins is gone.

Mike Neal will definitely have a breakout year. He showed tremendous power just about every play.

Burnett is a easy choice as well.

I'm gonna go ahead and say Bryan Bulaga is going to have a breakout year. He can finally stick to one position. Drafting Derrick Sherrod really solidified our OLine. He doesn't have to worry about having to switch to another position on the line if someone goes down.

I am surprised nerd didn't pick Alex Green or DJ Williams. Maybe Ricky Elmore even.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

My definition of breakout means they have been in the league for at least 2-3 years and have a quantum leap in their performance.

Ryan Grant, anyone?

Burnett's a ball hawk. Remember that INT he made, coming up into the backfield? That was awesome. Forget which game. He will break out this year.
But my REAL pick as breakout player: JUSTIN HARRELL!

Sort of like a dad to his 2 year old son... " Go on down to the creek and fetch me some water.. and boy, don't you dare spill a drop"



Sorry.. couldn't resist.



We know not enough about Burnett to make a fair statement on his performance last season.. 4 games in his first year is not a fair representation.
