superbills315 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 who do you think will be this years breakout players? My pick for offense is Marcus Easley and on defense because he is back to his natural position is Alex Carrington... that is if they can stay healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 who do you think will be this years breakout players? My pick for offense is Marcus Easley and on defense because he is back to his natural position is Alex Carrington... that is if they can stay healthy I'll play. On offense, I'll say that CJ Spiller has a break out year. Gets more carries, and is utilized more as a receiver. I'd like to see him get 15-20 touches per game. BTW...I gave Chris Hairston strong consideration here. Just have a feeling about him. On Defense, I venture to guess that Aaron Williams earns the starting CB job over McGee with Florence starting opposite him. Yes, he made some mistakes in his rookie year, but the kid has all the makings to be an absolute stud shut-down corner. With our improved pass rush, I predict he takes a huge step in that direction.

NoSaint Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Offense: wood plays 16 games. I don't think we have many surprises. Cj probably shows better. Lots of consistency year over year. Defense: Morrison. Can't see carrington getting real snaps in that rotation. Can your 5-6 lineman be a breakout player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our improved pass rush, I predict he takes a huge step in that direction. spiller and williams seem like no brainers to me because of the strong showing they had at the end of the year, i agree with the amount of touches spiller should have and i have the same feeling about hairston, my picks were more the guys u dont expect like stevie was, im just hoping for a healthy productive, exciting year...GO BILLS!!! Offense: wood plays 16 games. I don't think we have many surprises. Cj probably shows better. Lots of consistency year over year. Defense: Morrison. Can't see carrington getting real snaps in that rotation. Can your 5-6 lineman be a breakout player? a healthy woods would be awesome, morrison was a tackling machine thats why we picked him up i think he will be alot better now that he has more time with the team, i think your right about the rotation but i just have a strong feeling about carrington i think he is ready to take the next step, and yes the defense as a hole is going to have a breakout year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Merriman will quiet his doubters as Ive already stated in a previous thread Easley would be great and wouldn't surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 You mean there are people who still believe in Merriman? If I could get a line in Vegas for over under Merriman games, i would bet under just about any number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Merriman will quiet his doubters as Ive already stated in a previous thread Easley would be great and wouldn't surprise me Honestly in a small role I love the potential of merriman. 20 snaps a game full pass rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missthe kgun Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Offense I would say...Chris Hairston Defense I say...Aaron Williams and Kelvin Shephard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Merriman will quiet his doubters as Ive already stated in a previous thread Easley would be great and wouldn't surprise me I would be surprised and pleased if both Merriman and Easley were not on IR before week 6. However the odds are low. This year Scott Chandler goes from unknown TE to a younger version of Tony Gonzalez. And with a pass rush with teeth, Jairus Byrd returns to Pro Bowl form and makes me proud to wear his jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Leodis McKelvin. Good pass rush will vault him, Williams or other cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Offense- I predict Spiller has several monster games this year and becomes a player opposing teams need to game plan for Byrd-he is already a bad ass safety, but now with the new found pass rush he has double digit interceptions, a few tds, and will be talked about as possibly best safety in NFL....which reminds me-extend Byrd already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep2evans Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 i can make the case for a lot of guys. merriman - in a spot-duty role aaron williams - obvious reasons mckelvin - better pass rush carrington - better suited for 4-3 easley - #2 WR is up for grabs, has talent spiller - showed flashes even if 2 of these guys really turn it up a notch, we're in good shape.

deep2evans Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 i agree 100% and i think we will see some bills players in the probowl next year..... man im excited LETS GO BUFFALO!!! but to be fair, i feel like every offseason i have a list of 6-7 guys who i feel will take the next step and emerge. i'd say it's happened only 10% of the time. what's different this year is the amount of talent on the rest of the roster makes it easier for guys to slip into their positions and make plays. count the number of guys on our roster who could reasonably make a pro-bowl or play at that level. i count williams, williams, dareus, byrd, wilson, and maybe barnett on D. stevie, freddy, wood, levitre on O. that's more talent than we've had in a decade.

Offside Number 76 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Chandler / Williams (oh--Aaron Williams. I forgot, there are at least three), assuming we're really talking about a "break out" year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm going with Easley & Merriman. I've always been a big fan of both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 good picks all around. I think our safeties become feared and Byrd lights it up. i look forward to morrison and wood. Leodis might catch on too. here is my pick and dont burn my house down for it. Ryan Fitzpatrick. The new qb coach is going to stabilize this guy. and we have a ridiculously excellent pair of backers to run and catch that we will use this year. as i said all nice picks and i will be watching/listening and rooting for each of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Dareus. He was top notch with no outside pass rush, KW hurt, and playing nose. He may now draw single coverage on some plays. He is going to crush pople imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadstroke Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 who do you think will be this years breakout players? My pick for offense is Marcus Easley and on defense because he is back to his natural position is Alex Carrington... that is if they can stay healthy I big time second it on Easley. I have been (im)patiently waiting for him to debut for 2 yrs now and believe he has a chance to make it big. 6'2", 220lbs, 4.46 40 dash, and this will be his 3rd training camp. I look for big things from him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Number 76 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I do hope that you Easley people (not pejorative, just trying to categorize) are not the same people who want a WR in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I do hope that you Easley people (not pejorative, just trying to categorize) are not the same people who want a WR in the first round. I can be considered and easley people. i have high hopes for him on a couple levels. I dont like anyone at #10 right now. I think there is some great potential for receivers in this draft at #41 on down and i expect us to increase the competition considerably come camp times.
