#1 = Brandon Spikes
Spikes was called a "tackling machine", had 31+ tackles behind the line
of scrimmage, and says he'll be coming into the league "with a chip on
his shoulder". I also like that Butkus was his idol. So, what i'm hoping
for is a hard nosed, aggressive, "tackling machine" that offenses have
to account for on the field.
#2 = Wes Welker
When he comes back, will he be as good as before the injury ? I think
he will, personally. Plus his return dictates roster moves. Welker's just a
guy you can't help but root for, and can't ever discount.
#3 = Gary Guyton
I'm REALLY hoping that Spikes and McKenzie work out fantastically on
the inside and allow Guyton to moved outside where I believe that his
talents and speed could be better utilized as a rusher.
