What to expect of the offense in '09?

[Ruhskins]

I think there are people on this team that will have additional motivators to do better this year in the team.

- Campbell and Rogers: they are in contract years, so if they want to get an extension or be competitive in the free agent market, they need to bring their A game (it's common sense).

- Rookie Wideouts: Bad offseason, typical rookie production (you do know that rookies typically don't have Pro Bowl stats their first year, right?), health issues (Kelly), and commitment issues (Thomas) plagued their first season with the team; if they expect to start on this team, they'll need to step it up big time.

- Zorn: His job is safe for now, however a good showing this year should keep his job safe for a couple of years. With the likes of Mike Shanahan, Gruden, and Cowher not employed as head coaches, the last thing Zorn needs to have at the end of the '09 season to have is questions about his job security. A trip to the playoffs should take care of that.

- Cerrato: I wouldn't be surprised if he's in the same situation as Zorn.

- Heyer/Jensen: Heyer needs to prove that he can be a starter, and Jensen has been talking about being in starting form, so he needs to put his money where his mouth is.
