Bare with me here... so I was thinking about how magical a season it would with this kind of talent if the stars aligned and everyone had the best season of their careers... after that thought process kicked in i started to realize exactly how many players, barring injury, have an extremely good shot at doing just that...
QB Jay Cutler-After a year in the system, an off-season of training, and non-stop reps with the first team he's a widely viewed as a special player.
RB Travis Henry-Stocky, built, quick and powerful runner... match made in heaven
TE Dan Graham-Finally getting a clear cut opportunity
TE Tony Scheffler-Should be active all 16 games
WR Javon Walker-He had a monster year in GB, but look at what he did in this offense last year when it was crippled for the first half of the season? I think Javon has a decent chance at 1400
WR Brandon Marshall-Great opportunity to be the #2 receiver.
DE Elvis Dumervil-Should have more playing time considering he was inactive the first several games and still had a massive impact.
LB DJ Williams-Getting his best opportunity yet, especially with how Bate's emphasizes MLB.
CB Dre Bly-Going to see a LOT of action opposite champ.
CB Champ Bailey-I gotta admit it's somewhat unrealistic imagining a better year from champ than 06 especially considering he'll be playing more bump, but he's going to get more balls his way... so there's a chance.
Now obviously I ommitted people who havent played yet (the rookies, kuper, etc), but the more and more you look at this off-season, the more excited you have to be about this team!
