With OTA's opening up today, it got me thinking a little bit, so here's a question for people to get things going. Looking at the current roster, regardless of whether or not they're a rookie, veteran, etc. which player are you most curious about heading into 2015 in terms of how you think they'll perform or whether or not they'll have a big season?
 
I'll try to make some different guesses than most would do.

Breakout year: Duron Harmon. - He has improved consistently over the years, being actually good last season, specially on the SB run.
another guesses - Zach Moore, Scott Chandler, Jonas Gray

Disappointment of the year: James White - Comes september, I don't think he will be on the roster. Should stick around in PS, though. IMO, he is a jack of all trades, master of none. And not even a good jack.
another guesses: - Cameron Fleming, Chris Jones
 
Hate to count on rookies. So, I'll go with Dominique Easley. An interior pass rush can be hell on a qb. We have enough depth so spot him. Malcolm Butler better be good.

Easley is pretty much a rookie in his own right. But I agree, if Brown and Easley can work well together it makes a huge difference on what the front seven can do. Get fast on the outside with Chandler and Rob on the outside with Brown and Easley on the inside creating pressure. If they want to get big and stop the run, kick Brown and Easley out to the ends and plug Siliga and Branch in the middle.
 
Darryl Roberts


Those are my guys.

Doc Holliday is damn good coach and I bet Belichick has picked up on that, drafting these two recently. WVU made a big mistake not promoting him to head coach when Rich Rodriguez left.

Dobson's foot issues have been disappointing, but that stuff happens. He has the skills and measurables to be a Brady target, no doubt about it.

Roberts is a first round athlete. Total steal in round 7. He was one of only a handful of cornerbacks in the draft I thought were worth drafting. Not going to immediately contribute, most likely. He's going to find out relying on his athleticism will only go so far in the NFL. Still, the guy would have been a day one player if he was in another conference.

To pick someone different, I'll roll Collins. His is still raw. He made mistakes that are expected from a young player. And yet he still played like one of the best LBers in the league. He might be the best defender we got now that Revis and Wilfork are gone.

I'll go with Tyler Gaffney the unknown RB......I always choose an underdog and this year it's Tyler. The RB position is crowded so he will have to really stand out to make the final cut.
 
Once again I'll pump up my boy Tupaimoefitpo "Sealver" Siliga. I think in 2 shortened seasons, he's shown a ton of potential. All eyes will be on Easley and Brown, but Siliga will be the rock in the middle who also provides surprising pressure on the passer. Big season for the big boy in 2015.
 
Tom Brady. I wanna see the fire he brings this time around after all that's happened(ing).
 
Jimmy Garoppolo we will need him to come through if Brady doesn't win the appeal.
 
Gotta go with #12, he probably has quite a bit of fire in his belly... especially after he wins his appeal and is exonerated...
 
I'll second or third Easley
hopefully he's a beast
 
toss up between dobson and easly.

both guys coming off years ending on IR.

Dobson showed brief flashes of being a starter on this team, and im anxious to see if he was the heart to battle it out with lafell for that start position.

Easly is finally going to be 100% after we took him with the injury concerns his rookie year. I'd love to see him be a monster for the team and rack up double digit sacks.
 
I'm looking for this to finally be the year where we have a DL that just takes over games. I've got my eyes on Chandler Jones and Dominique Easley to step up in major ways.

As for rookie surprises, I'm really intrigued by the tall CBs we brought in as UDFAs.
 
The 2015 defense depends on an improved pass rush. To make this happen Easley and
Sheard have to produce.

I don't know why I keep forgetting they signed Sheard. He is going to be a cog in the front 7.
