DJ, Ashley, Darius, and Tatum

Alright here's our younger guys that have so much of our team relying on them to perform. Even if they perform like they did last year, I think we're sitting pretty... now can you imagine if they keep progressing as well?

If Lelie can become a reliable short yardage target, instead of just a stretch the defense bomb target, he'll be sitting at 1300-1500 yards.

If DJ continues to dominate and grow even more comfortable... he'll get about 130 tackles and lord knows how many picks covering the tight end.

If Darius can hang onto the ball... in that case we may finally be ready to say goodbye to Rod next year.

If Tatum can stay healthy and run like he did last year... he's a 6 yrd a carry back when healthy. I expect him to light it up and take a run at the rushing record if he stays healthy.

Okay, okay, so this looks like a lot of "if"s, but like I said earlier, even if they just perform like they did last year, we're sitting pretty. I don't think progression after an extra year in our system is that much of a question mark. I expect them all to play better, and it's when I think about that, I feel sorry for the teams on our schedule.

I'm so excited about watching DJ this year, as Clayton said, we might have the best linebacking corps in the league.

I think Darius and Tatum have the most room for improvement though to show us that they're solid, and boy if they come thru

What u said Rev

I feel sorry for the teams on our schedule.

Tatum should be very explosive this year. He said he is trying to get bigger this offseason so he can take the pounding. His vision should improve with reps too.

Rod is working hard with Watts so i am happy about that. I think he will step up.

I am really excited about Ash. He could have easily had 1300 last year had plummer been more accurate. As it was, he had 1100 and 200 of PIs. Ash will be a monster this year.

DJ will have a good year. I think he will have about 5 sacks and 2 or 3 INT, but there is no way he will have 130 tackles, more like 85. Dont expect him to rack up a bunch of tackle stats playing at Sam but he will still be very good against the pass and will have more sacks this year.

And on top of being very Homer about these 4, I truly believe in Putz, Pryce, Warren and Brown having break out years...

This is what I like to read and who cares if it is true or not :-)

Oh yeah, I homer for the young guys on our team like there's no tomorrow.

DJ, Ash, Tatum, and DW, leading this team into the future!
