Ethan in Cleveland Posted Sunday at 02:21 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:21 PM For me I'm going to go with A.J. Epenesa. I've been down on him since he was drafted. Last year however he finally seemed to have the body size you want in a modern 4-3 DE. He made more plays last year than he did the first 3 combined. If he can go from 4-6 sacks to 8-10 that would go a long way to taking pressure off Miller and Rousseau. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBeets Posted Sunday at 02:22 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:22 PM Elam, which is the most obvious one I think. He sure would help the defense. 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted Sunday at 02:26 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:26 PM One player I hope all the rest of you are wrong about is Tyler Bass. I still think he will get back to form, but it sure feels like a lot of folks here have already given up on him. 4 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted Sunday at 02:31 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:31 PM I'm voting Tyler Bass also. It's going to be brutal if he reverts back to being inconsistent . What we need is consistent performance and PLEASE Tyler bring it in 2024 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted Sunday at 02:48 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:48 PM Von Miller. I want to be wrong about Von Miller. Tyler Bass is my runner-up for this question. I didn't select him because just as he snapped out of being good, he might snap back into being good. Kickers are weird head cases that way. Von Miller's knee might be an irrecoverable reality--Tyler Bass's brain may not be. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted Sunday at 02:53 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:53 PM Von Miller. I think a lot of people - including Bills brass - expect this resurgent year. I don't. I think you'll get a season that a 35 year old player, with 173 games on the body can provide. He'll give it his all, but there's a limit. The battery will wear down quickly. His season stats will be front loaded into September-October. I want to be completely wrong on this opinion. I think this is his last season playing football, and I'd like to see him go out with 10+ sacks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted Sunday at 03:04 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:04 PM Shakir. I’m on record at some point saying I don’t get the hype. That he’s just a guy. I think better of him today, but I’m hoping he’s more than a JAG. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted Sunday at 03:09 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:09 PM (edited) I am hoping Keon Coleman finds the speed and runs a 4.3 forty Edited Sunday at 03:53 PM by HOUSE 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman probably concerns me the most, but I am strangely intrigued by his body control. Is that enough? Hard to say, but his rout running is easier to improve than his speed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted Sunday at 03:21 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:21 PM Dawson Knox. There was a question before last season: which player will have a breakout season in 2023? I said Knox. I was wrong. That contract has turned into a liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had two chances from ling range to put the game away and missed wide right both times. A bit of foreshadowing. He has the leg. Hope he starts to be more consistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I lost faith in him after the drop that could have sealed the Giants game. He did have a wrist injury but was not much of a factor after coming back. Really hope he comes back strong with a 40-50 catch season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ready to write him off yet, but sooner or later that potential has to turn into actual production. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is consistent performance and PLEASE Tyler bring it in 2024 Yeah with less big plays from the offense the kicking game is going to be critical. Bass could turn this season into a disaster of late game losses if he doesn't re-discover his early form. The only thing I'd say there though is that you can find somebody off the street to kick and they could get hot. At key positions QB/Edge/LT/WR.........if you find out you over-estimated their ability you aren't finding quality at those positions on the unemployment line in October/November. So I will say Keon Coleman but it applies to guys like MVS or Clayfool (who both looked totally washed last year) as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted Sunday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:58 PM Last year I would have said Gabe Davis. This year, I hope I'm wrong about Spencer Brown. He's had some good stretches here and there, but on balance he's been a liability (or injured) since he arrived. The pessimist in me says he'll play well, sign a big extension, get injured, and be the same uneven player when he gets back. I really want to be wrong. I miss House Ballard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
