Who is stepping up?

[hedgehawk]

I went with Scruggs. I think he has some pass rushing abilities and will see more playing time this coming year.

I know how we can get them all to step up.




Put some stairs in front of them.

I voted Smith, but I couldn't decide between him or Carp.

Good poll idea, I went with Scruggs. I'd be surprised to see Howard all of a sudden move ahead of Scruggs on the depth chart and with Branches departure and the possibility of see Bennett play DE some I think Scruggs will see a big jump in playing time. He only has 6 years of football experience so I can see him making bigger strides in improvement than a typical 2nd yr player. Plus he's got a great personality so he's easy to root for.

Sweezy, Pro-Bowl alternate!

I went with Scruggs. I bet he puts on another 10lb in muscle and plays inspired as hell with all the talent around him. He has already proven he is a quick learner. This year he as well as Irvin should improve considerably.

I say Carpenter, but it would be nice to see both Carpenter and Sweezy take it to the next level of o-line dominance.

And put that cookie monster lookin Moffit on the sidelines in the process!!

I voted Scruggs. Just a feeling, I can't explain it.

He seems like a good, hard-working guy with good athleticism.

I just think a lot of teams are going to end up getting too tied up with Irvin and our big-name FA DEs Avril and Bennett and Scruggs is going to end up taking advantage of that on gameday.

Thigpen gonna step up thig time...er pig time... :-?

I still believe we have not seen the best of Winston Guy. He was hurt to start the year and then suspended and eventually did get into the rotation late in the year.

 

[HawKnPeppa]

Sweezy, Carpenter, Scruggs and DARREN FELLS!

 

[ImTheScientist]

Carpenter. He stays healthy and becomes a legit 2nd tier left guard.

:13:

 

[Happypuppy]

Carp is going to be a beast at guard. Take it to the bank. He came back to early last year but should be in much better shape. I expect Sweezy to do well also. He has talent but a rookie playing a new position is a tough task.

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

I voted Walter Thurmond. He stays healthy and plays at a level just barely below Sherman.

Duck homer (like we didn't know that already).

Seriously, hope you're right J. Dude has all the talent in the world.

I went with (It Ain't Easy Being) Sweezy. Considering how raw at the position he was last year and to actually be able to compete against NFL defensive lineman, if he progresses at the same rate he'll be a stud this coming season.
