Jason Campbell- I will consider Campbell's season a success if we make the playoffs.

Devin Thomas- I will consider Thomas's season a success if we make the playoffs.

Malcolm Kelly- I will consider Kelly's season a success if we make the playoffs.

Albert Haynesworth- I will consider Haynesworth's season a success if we make the playoffs.

DeAngelo Hall- I will consider Hall's season a success if we make the playoffs.

Seriously, the individual stats are interesting, and I'd like to see improvement from the first three on the list. Campbell will (hopefully) have a better line, which should help with his sacks. His decision making was solid last year.

With Thomas and Kelly, it's tricky. We have a depth chart that they will have to overcome in order to have an impact. To ask Kelly to have 50 catches flies in the face of probability, if we project Moss to have 80 catches, Randle-El to have 60, Cooley to have 80, an assorted 50 from Portis/Betts, etc. What I'd like to see is Thomas to become the undisputed 3rd receiver, and for Kelly to highlight red zone and short yardage packages.

As for Haynesworth, I hope his impact is reflected in the stats of the other ten guys on the field. By freeing up lanes for another pass rusher, our sacks should rise - or the QB should be forced into poorer decisions.

DeAngelo Hall needs to play to his potential. I think he has hands that will put him into a good place interception-wise. Fortunately, with Owens and Burress out of the division, we have fewer physical receivers to body up.
