Breakout Redskin for 2011-Defense

I'll say Riley, if for no other reason than we can't find another ILB in free agency or a trade, and he finally gets his opportunity to step up.

With a legit pass rushing compliment on the other side I could see Rak taking a huge step forward... perhaps to the 14-16 sack range.

Granted we already know he's good, but I'm looking for him to take that next step to being great.

Yeah Barnes or Anthony Bryant are my favorites to breakout

Anthony Bryant by a hair over Kevin Barnes, because I thing CB is a position with more growing pains than NT. I like both as future starters. Everyone else on this list is near their developmental ceiling, or is blocked.

Only difference this year is that I legitimately believe the future of that position is on the roster already.

I think everyone on the list has a legitimate shot at making an impact this year. I remember being impressed with Jackson a couple of years ago and being disappointed he wasn't given more opportunities. I love Henson's passion. I give Riley the edge in overall talent but passion can carry you a long way. If he can match Henson's passion and is given the opportunity, I could see him having a very good year. I'm really pulling for this guy. Barnes is capable of, and plays a position where he can make some spectacular game changing plays. Given the situation with Rogers and already having some real game time experience, I voted for Barnes.

Riley will turn some heads this season. Barnes will probably be a nickel, due to the Nnamdi Asamough factor!!!!!!

I must be in the minority wanting us to sign him........but I really hope that we do. Our secondary would be scary good.........

I agree. As we settle in the 3-4, I think we're going to see him continue to rise into the highest level of elite pass-rushers. We can't really pick him as a breakout since he's made the pro-bowl in each of his two NFL seasons, but I'm really excited to see him get after it this year.

I'm gonna go with Perry Riley. He showed flashes last year. I think he'll fit in this year as a solid starter.

The only reason why hes been linked to us is because of the $$ he's asking for. If you go back to the original reports, the one that started it was by Jason La Confora saying 'he expects the skins to go after him because we're known to spend some money.' As soon as that quote of his came out dozens of football writers used it. So its a whole bunch of outlets coming off the same report. Also he would have said "my sources are telling me.." or "a source close to the redskins..." but he didn't hes just purely guessing.

Now the Cullen Jenkins thing has come from more than one report and has been linked to a source from the redskins and a source from Cullen's side.

See the difference here?

Would I want Nnamdi? Hell yes I would! Would I pay him the $17+ million he's asking for? Hell No, especially after the Haynesworth fiasco. He's going to Houston or Tampa when its all said and done. Not saying though that theres no chance we go after him or even get him..

I still don't particularly care for Haslett :P
