Who’s a player on your favorite team who you expect to take a jump this season?

I’m a huge Ravens fan, and it was a huge offseason for us. Reports out of camp are that David Ojabo looks great and is giving our O line some troubles in practice.

He’d be my answer as our edge presence desperately needs “that guy” and Ojabo has all the tools. Hopefully his injury didn’t limit his explosiveness to much, still young and still motivated!

Now you guys go!

  • As probably one of the only Titans fans ever in existence, I'm gonna say Chig Okonkwo. We have an abysmally bad receiver core, and if he doesn't take multiple steps up, the season is likely dead in the water before the 1st snap.

    This is ignoring the other glaring OL issue we had, Skoronski is gonna have to come in at an above average level for us to even be able to pass the ball...

  • Also Ravens fan, and I also agree. However, I feel like every year we hear some story about a guy that looks great in camp, and he either gets injured within the first 1/3 of the season, or he ends up under-performing. I'd like for it to be Ojabo, but I won't hold my breath just based on history. I'd still like to see Bateman end up being WR1.

  • Rachaad White on the Bucs. Oline is in better shape, and leftwich won't be calling 734 passes a game.

    • I just started a Bucs community if you'd like to join: https://lemmy.world/c/tbbuccaneers.

      I'm also hoping Rachaad takes the next step, it'll be interesting to see how he handles a heavier workload with Fournette gone.

      • Joined, though it seems like it's still new enough that the content hasn't synced up with kbin yet as it's showing empty when I view it from here.

        Anyway, also curious to see if Vaughn steps up or totally disappears and becomes Rojo v2. For all the talk of how easily replaceable RB is these days, we really seem to suck at picking them.

  • For the Steelers I'd say Najee Harris.

    Year 3- he needs to perform to start talking about contract extensions and getting real money next off-season. He's currently healthy (hopefully he stays that way as he got injured in campast year).

    Most importantly, offensive line. The Steelers had the worst overall offensive line in the league his rookie year, near the bottom of the league in BOTH Pass Block and Run Block Win Rates. Last year they improved to roughly average. This year, they added Suemalo and a lot of their young guys are developing and getting familiar. Either Broderick Jones will start at LT or Moore will have improved enough to keep his job (at least to start the season).

    Also decisions like bringing back Gentry, drafting Darnell Washington, and keeping Conner Heyward seems to indicate they are moving towards heavier packages on offense. Replacing Claypool with Allen Robinson is hopefully going to lead to better blocking at the point of attack. I think they really want to be a run-first team and try to take the pressure off of Pickett.

    You can make arguments for almost the whole team. The whole offense is really young, mostly still on rookie deals outside of the offensive line and a couple of WR's.

  • This is tough, I dont know if it will happen or not but for the jets I think I have to say Becton. If he's healthy and pops off our oline is going to be way better than people expect. If he doesn't... Well hopefully we don't end up on our 5th and 6th tackles again this year
