Vote: Who Will Be Redskins 2011 Breakout Player?

by Kevin Ewoldt on Mar 31, 2011 8:00 AM EDT in Redskins Analysis

All of the Hogs Haven writers made their beef - so who do you think will be the 2011 breakout player?

Phillip Daniels suggested that Jarmon was doing everything the coaches asked of him and was just patiently waiting for a bona fide starting opportunity... [Jeremy Jarmon]

Although Jackson's playing time was limited once again last season, he did manage to have an impact when he got a chance against the Jacksonville Jaguars... [Rob Jackson]

Riley played well in the seven other games where he saw action, although we have not seen him much beyond special teams. I also really like how Riley responded to the darkest moment of his pro career... [Perry Riley]

Bryant began seeing solid playing time in the Tampa Bay game on Dec. 12, and his reps remained steady the rest of the season. Haslett had this to say about Bryant... [Anthony Bryant]

Paulsen got a lot of time at the end of the year, and he showed he can play the blocking roll. He also has solid hands... [Logan Paulsen]

This was a very hard vote

I think Jarmon, Riley and Jackson are all going to have breakout years. Depending on what happens with Carlos, Barnes could too.

I would add Licht to that list as well, as I can see him making a jump in productivity, especially if he is moved to C.

Are you not entertained?

Yeah Jarmon!

Whomever suggested Jarmon was going to be the breakout guy in 2011 must really know what he is talking about!

Tough call for me between Bryant and Jarmon. I chose Jarmon because he has shown a few flashes of what I think may be some nasty pass rushing. Both players I think may be solid starters this year though.

for which team?

I think Cooley's almost done.

Seriously. If Davis can keep it together…

Done?

Cooley is 29 and coming off one of his best seasons as a pro while continuing to be stuck in a bad offense.

I don’t know what you could possibly be basing that on.

Good response; just a gut feeling.

Because i live in nova, i read/hear/listen and learn about the redskins constantly.

I think he’s just as cool and down to earth as all of you, I just feel like he’s peaked. I felt like he was way underutilized last season, and i think that he also dropped way too many passes. He’s a pass catching tight end, simply stated.

If i end up being wrong, then good for you, him, your fanbase and the Skins.

For some reason, and i don’t know why, i think Fred Davis will have a breakout year this year which will be another reason why you guys will be going away from Cooley.

Anyway, like i said, just a feeling of mine.

As an avid drinker of kool-aid, I love these positive posts.....

too few and far between. It’s tough for all of us this off season, but I have seen posters taking the “OK but what if..” scenario in the negative direction. If Bryant can work forward from last year, he can be very solid in rotation at NT, If Jarmon and Carriker start to play close to potential, thats huge….I don’t think that is an unreasonable expectation. If AH got struck by lightning and his brain actually started working, is that too much to ask? I wish I knew enough to have more faith in Barnes….I would try to re-sign Carlos, let Barnes play and see what we could get for D-Hall.
