    For the Steelers it would probably be best if the breakout player was Dupree, they need a dominant edge rusher.

    I piked Coates, but I really think you may see James or Villi playing way above what most think they will this year.

    Here is hoping Cockrell, but unless he changed his game (more physical) I have my doubts.

    I voted Dupree. I think he has a chance to have a solid season for us. I really would have chosen Shazier if he were an option. I think he can play at a pro bowl level for a large chunk of the year this year.

    Coates could be a guy for us on offense, but I think Green has a break out year for us. He has all the tools to succeed in our offense. He obviously has talent and was under utilized in SD behind a future HoF'er in Gates. He has the ability to be a big time play maker for us.

    I would say Hargrave on defense and if L. Green can be healthy, he would be my vote for offense. Different teams I know, but I hope he makes his name known other than A. Gates former back up.

    He bulked up some adding 10 lbs of muscle, maybe that will help him play more physical.

    Dupree by far. More weapons in his arsenal, one year wiser and more athletically conditioned.


    Never mind his ongoing groin issue. Once that is cleared out for him.. full steam ahead towards his prediction of double digit sacks; something that I see happening now.

    Coates on offense, but I really like what Ely Rodgers brings to the table. I see a big surprise here, and if he performs in the slot like I think he will, that's going to open things up for Coates even more.

    Hopefully it's Dupree on defense as I had given up on Jones long ago. We are in desperate need of outside pass rushers and could be our weak spot with some new players in the secondary and QB's with too much time go throw.
