Kroy Biermann is in position to destroy souls this year with Nolan's sack exchange. Also William Moore is healthy and is looking good. Watch them and also Peria Jerry.

I wish that motherfucker would call himself coming up on me. I don't know where he was shot at, but I bet it wasn't worse than when I got shot. I'm gonna break his ass down, so I hope he didn't get shot in the body. Then again, I'm gonna hit him on the fucking chin anyway, so it don't matter. ... He say he fucking 30-0 in the streets? He can get ready to be 30-1 because I don't fuck around. ... None of that street talking shit scare me, motherfucker. He better check my reputation.--Floyd Mayweather Sr.

D.J. Smith- Already took over for Hawk in the dime. His speed and instincts are really going to help this guy shine for the Packers. It's unfortunate it's not Bishop starting with him.

Randall Cobb- Rodgers started to trust him towards the end of the season. When the ball is in Cobb's hands, he is extremely dangerous and will be lethal from the slot. He averaged a broken tackle every 4 receptions last season. He just needs to hold onto the ball.

Brian Robison, they said he had a really good camp. With Jared Allen and Kevin Williams constantly taking double teams Robison will get plenty of opportunities.

Harrison Smith, it's only been 2 preseason games but he looks the part. Always seems to be by the ball, never seems "lost". They sent him on a blitz friday night, and while he didn't get to the quarterback, he made a great play by jumping at the line of scrimmage and deflecting the pass.

Liked Smith coming out of the draft a lot. Was hoping the Bucs would get him in the 2nd, but I am happy with Barron. :D

BTW, the guy we did end up taking in the 2nd, Lavonte David, is another guy people should look out for this year. Dude has been all over the field this pre-season and is a great tackler.

WRs Keshawn Martin and Lestar Jean are really stepping it up and should contribute a lot this year.

On defense, I'd say Kareem Jackson is finally shaping up and looking like a first round player.

Trindon Holliday as a returner already has two TD returns this preseason, and could make a lot of noise.

Pernell McPhee

6th round pick who notched 6.5 sacks last year as a rookie. Another year ato learn the pro game and he could be a very nice edge presence.

Jimmy Smith.

Even though Megatron scored on him I saw two things. First he had outstanding coverage on him. He was with him stp for step and had inside position on him and what was even more impressive was there was no safety help so he was man to man. Now you are saying well no shit he got scored on though, that said though it was a perfect back shoulder throw so his great positioning beat him on that because he had his head turned but the pass was already there.

Deonte Thompson.

He is my drak horse receiver. He is much like Rainey for the steelers. He is blazing fast running a 4.25 at FSU and then a 4.32 at his pro day. HE has been lighting up in preseason and just getting behind everybody and on his kick off return just flat out destroyed people with his speed. He is setting the field on fire in preseason and is looking ot have reliable hands. He could be something special.

Davon House if he can stay healthy. I think that a healthy House is our #2 cornerback easily (besides Woodson since he's playing safety).

I'm going with Carson Palmer for the extra hours he's put in, in the off-season.

DMC because he will stay healthy this year.

Rolando McClain. I think he will do well in a real defensive scheme. Not a defense where he'll be guarding Megatron 1 on 1, with less than 2 minutes in the game and Detroit down 6.

Mychal Kendricks, Phillip Hunt, DRC, Brent Celek, & Nick Foles (honestly don't think Vick is going to last). I also like Bryce Brown.

RB Robert Turbin. Marshawn is probably suspended a game or two, and regardless the #2 RB always gets carries. He'll show you he's got that youth burst in him. They've been limiting his carries even in the preseason, almost as if they're saving him for Beast Mode Pt Two.

CB Richard Sherman. Most people on here who have been paying attention to the CB Duo's thread and also the NFCW forum know his name, but the really casual fans only really know about Earl Thomas and Marshawn Lynch on the Seahawks. All 4 guys in our secondary are juiced and ready to play at an elite level right now. He got thrown out there halfway mid season and showed the NFL we aren't an easy team to throw on. A full season with Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner, and Richard Sherman all out there together will show you that they all deserve to be in the pro bowl.

QB Matt Flynn. It's more about wins and losses than stats, and I think that will impress people the most. He currently holds the standing of being one of the bottom ranked QBs in the league, and once he makes a couple of clutch first down completions in the 4th quarter that make the difference between winning and losing, people will respect him and believe that he is the guy for the job, and he's not just some other Kevin Kolb.

I agree with all of these and will add Alteraun Verner, he's going to be playing about the same spot as Finny did last year (outside in base coverage, inside in nickel) and he's definitely got the instincts to cover slot receivers, by mid season nobody will wonder why we let Finny go

I'm expecting our 1st round picks Hightower and Chandler Jones to have a huge impact on the defense this year. Chandler dominated Jermon Bushrod in the 1st preseason game and I've been really impressed with Hightower's tackling. Another guy I think could be good if he stays healthy is CB Ras-I Dowling. Also, RB Shane Vereen and DE/OLB Jermaine Cunningham.

Do rookies really count as breakout players? lol

But for the Bucs, I'd probably say Anthony Gaitor. He SHOULD win the nickelback job, he has looked good in peseason. I don't see anyone else as a serious breakout candidate, maybe Michael Bennett could have more sacks than last year.
