I went with Crable because with the current weakness at OLB and a much strong backfield i see Crable getting much more playing time than Wheatley.

I have no idea what the right answer is but five of the seven players you listed are defenders. I think this the the key to the 2009 season - how much do these young defenders develop?

If even 2 or 3 of these guys is able to make a significant contribution, the upside is huge. The D gets younger and faster in a hurry.

i will say crable or redd....voted for crable...

i dont believe guyton will be a full time starter this season...and his impact inside will be shared w/ someone...

the cb's wont have to make any type of exponential leap this yr with our starting 3 already in place (in one order or another) best i think they can do is take the nickel back....which is good, but doesnt take the vote in ur question....

slater....LOL....LONG TIME TO GO

green ellis has too many good backs in front of him (maroney stays) and its possible hes not even gonna be ont he roster, the kid ran well, but not great

so its gonna be the pass rushers...especially seeing how we didnt add any in FA yet....

I went with Crable, just because the role that he could potentially fill is the one that the team needs the most. If he can become even a serviceable rotation OLB, it will have a major impact on the team.

Wheatley was starting to look very good before he went down with the arm injury last season. With Springs and Bodden added, I think he can make more of an impact now, as he doesn't have to perform as the number 1 or 2 corner straight up.

I voted for Crable based on what I would like to see happen. Vrabel is gone and there is a definite hole at OLB now, seemingly.

I would like to see all the players on the poll play well though...... They can all cement their positions on the team with solid reps and I hope they do well...

I went with Wheatley. I believe he will improve like Meriweather did in his second year.

Wilhite. He started to improve in the 2nd half of the year and will only get better.
