Which players (offense/defense) are under the most pressure to produce this year?

Vincent Valentine. Time to step up and prove he can be our full time run stopper. He's the man in the middle now.

 
Offensive line. We lost a lot, and EVERYTHING we hope for on offense (Armstrong being more accurate, Ameer having a 1200 or 1500 yard season, etc.) starts with the ability to give the quarterback time and the running backs holes.

 
Offseason and fall camp coaching. Fix turnovers and return game issues, and that's the difference between 4 losses and 2, in my opinion. Everything else will get these kids to the promised land.

 
Tommy, Ameer and Gregory. Newcomers that need to step up IMO or current players: Charles Jackson, Tariqq Allen, McMullen for sure.

It depends on what angle you want to come from. Here's my picks:

Defense - Charles Jackson - It's time to live up to the hype and make use of his athletic ability. Reports from spring said that a light switch was turned on. Let's hope so, because we need a couple CBs to step up. Cockrell looked pretty impressive in the spring game as well.

Offense - Jamal Turner - Last year was supposed to be his breakout year but he was plagued by injury all season. Hopefully he stays healthy and gets his head on right for this year, because losing Q is big.

 
i am thinking newby is putting a lot of pressure on himself and could be necessary to the success of our offense. i am thinking he will not disappoint.

 
Offense, its going to be whoever is our starting QB.

Defense, I believe its the linebackers. We have been so hyped about the youth and athleticism. We saw flashes last year from each individual, but we will expect to see a seamless defense (for the most part).

 
Offense: OT Alex Lewis. We have a number of spots to replace on this OL. We'll need this newcomer to really lock down one of the tackle spots and be a force for us.

Defense: S Corey Cooper. How many years has it been since we've had really, truly exceptional safety play? Cooper's had a lot of hype, a lot of playing time, and now it's his senior year. Time to go out there and shine. If he can, it'll really help the other layers on defense show their full potential as well.
