Donte Whitner: With the emergence of McCargo and the additions of Stroud and Johnson, the middle of the DL should finally do its' job. Whitner's been mediocre at best and I keep hearing how it's the DL's fault for not getting pressure. Well, with an improved pass rush, Whitner damn well better prove he was worth the #8 pick this year.
Aaron Schobel: See above. He should see less double teams and the QB should be forced to his side if the new DT's hold up their end of the bargain. Time for him to prove that he's worth the paycheck.
Lee Evans: Hardy is the tall #2. You've got all the help you need- no more excuses.
Trent Edwards: This one is borderline because it will be his first full year of starting. But with an OL that's good at pass blocking, an excellent RB, two god receivers and presumably better play calling, his performance will be all on himself.
Perry Fewell: In the last 3 seasons, we have spent 3 first-round draft picks and an early second rounder on the defensive side of the ball (Whitner, McCargo, Poz, McKelvin). We added three FA's to the D this year- two who should start and one who will probably play a large role coming off the bench. There are no more excuses for this D to NOT do it's job.
Dick Jauron: This is his third full season and he's had basically 3 off-seasons to shape his team. Playoffs or bust.
