NOTE! These are based on MY OWN expectations! And some players I expected a lot more of than others (eg Posey vs Spikes).
I left out the O line. Admittedly I don’t really focus on the OL when watching games. Of course as a unit, I can tell they have underperformed.
Exceeded expectations:
Brian Moorman
Met expectations:
Takeo Spikes – solid all year
London Fletcher – very solid “quiet” contributor
Jeff Posey – I didn’t have any real high expectations. Made me long forget Eddie Robinson though!
Nate Clements – pretty solid all year
Antoine Winfield – solid most of the year. Got beat some, but every corner gets beat some.
Sam Adams – did his job
Pat Williams – did his job
Aaron Schobel – would make a great #2 DE along side a monster rusher
Lawyer Milloy – started hot, got cold, but improved week to week.
Travis Henry – performed as I expected. His injury set him back a little.
Did not meet expectations:
Drew Bledsoe – looked like crap most of the year
Eric Moulds – injury really screwed him up big time
Bobby Shaw – did so so. I thought the whole WR unit would be much better
Josh Reed – I though he’d be much better
Rian Lindell – sheesh what can I say
I really had no real expectations, so lack of success isn’t a surprise:
Dave Moore – we need a real possession TE
Mark Campbell – we need a real possession TE
Antonio Brown – in the return game, either you have it, or you don’t. Brown does not have it at all. Speed is only a small part.
Ryan Denney – Didn’t expect much from him
All other DEs. – big need
Izell Reese – I don’t know he’s on the field at times
Pierson Prioleau – I don’t know he’s on the field at times
