Which players' bandwagons are you jumping on this year? For me it's...

Sam Barrington: This guy may not be a three down ILB, but he's definitely a two down thumper who's willing to hit someone and we need that. In the game vs the Titans, flew into the hole and stuffed the snot out of the RB. I remember thinking to myself that I hadn't seen a physical play like that the past two years out of our ILBs.

Mike Pennel: A lot us gaga-ed over Colt Lyerla and his athleticism. We wondered if Ted scooped up a first round talent for peanuts. We espoused that Green Bay was the perfect place for a reclamation project like him. But Colt got hurt and then the preseason games started this guy started sticking out. At first I thought he was just cleaning up vs backups and was a DII wonder. The more research I did, the more my opinion changed. Mike Pennel shows promise at nose tackle . I think he's the unheralded, dark horse guy this year that sticks.

Chris Banjo: Might not even make the roster but I'm putting him here anyway. His hustle and play on ST make Bush expendable next year and he takes over as the "hustle-special teams-guy who occasionally moonlights on offense/defense."

Jarrett Boykin: Probably won't replicate the stats he had last year with a healthy RB corps and the depth at WR. Perfect second banana. Knows his place in the pecking order of the offense and does everything asked of him.

I was skeptic with Jayrone Elliott at first. Then I watched him closely and I think he can be a solid pass rusher.

Jeff Janis, as well... the look on MM's face when he took that KO back was like... Yeah, this is what we've been missing back there. I have found my guy..geez he's fast.

Janis is the only rookie I really expect to make real impact on games. Richard Rodgers will catch some balls but ANYONE starting at TE for us is going to do that.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

All of the above - no objection to any of them.

I will make my bandwagon guy DuJuan Harris, though. I didn't like it in 2013 when they designated him 1st string at the beginning, but this camp and preseason, he looked damn good - both as a RB and returner.

I'm also gonna watch for Jayrone Elliot. Probly be awhile before he gets action, but I think he can bring it.

I'll be watching Nick Perry too, but only to see if he starts showing up.
