3 Non-Star Players We Need To Step Up In 2013

Fair enough I was a little generous with my definition of stars. And isn't Robinson an OLB?

When I saw Monty on the same list as Morris and Griff I wasn't sure if you were calling them stars or non-stars. Monty is alright, but he's not a world beater. In fact I'd list him as someone who could put in some work this offseason too.

And Keenan Robinson was playing inside this year, I do believe. I can't verify that though, so I might be wrong. As far as guys that need to step up, I'd put Robinson on this list if Fletcher retires.

My single request for this offseason is that Madieu Williams retire, or get released. He shouldn't be playing any more.

Speaking of non stars - wtf is up with Ryan Kerrigan?
He doesnt seem to know who has the ball and moves around like a pregnant albatross.

To be fair, he looked beyond awful all game yesterday:)

agree on Hankerson... he needs to step up somehow..

Id go with

1. Helu - hasnt justified the move up to get him. Has the hands and speed to be that 3rd down/change of pace back.
2. Hankerson - Shows flashes, but still needs to the play the game faster.
3. Wilson - Contract year and was a disappointment most of this year. Gave up huge plays.

I'm not as down on Wilson or even Hall as most of you seem to be.

Wilson made some huge plays for us this year. Those TDs given up...would they have been TDs with any start-quality safeties behind the CBs? I blame the lack of safeties on most of the big plays we gave us this season.

Hall played incredible down the stretch for us. If he seal up the holes in the safety positions, I think Hall and Wilson are a more-than-adequate CB tandem.

Doesn't mean we should ignore the position for upgrades if we can get a top CB in the draft (unlikely without early-round picks) or FA though, but I'd rather address safety and RT before we make any decisions on Hall or Wilson.

When I saw Monty on the same list as Morris and Griff I wasn't sure if you were calling them stars or non-stars. Monty is alright, but he's not a world beater. In fact I'd list him as someone who could put in some work this offseason too.

I think a lot of fans underestimate Monty. According to folks that know a heck of a lot more than us here, he was a very good lineman in 2012.

1. Hank - he's just not been what we though he would be. I'll give him one more season.

2. Helu - I just don't see him being a big factor anymore but hopefully he steps up and proves his worth.

3. Crawford - want to see him become the number 2 CB

Hank just needs to be more consistent period, hopefully he'll be like James Jones with the Packers (a bit slow in learning how to do away with the dropsies).

Not sure what Hank's problem is, lack of focus maybe? No heart over the middle? He takes his eyes off the ball before he secures the catch too often.

Hank Badger don't care
