This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I tried to look at position groups and pick one player who needs to elevate his game to the next level this year.

OL: J. Patterson. If he is consistent and settles into this role he could solidify an already emerging and talented OL.

DL: K. Hinish. I think he found out last year what its going to take to be a good DL at this level. He will split time with Lacey who is without a doubt pushing him in practice.

QB: P.Jurkovic. Needs to be serviceable and trusted should Book get injured.

RB: T.Jones. Armstrong will be the featured RB but at some point Jones will be called on to carry the load to win a game this year.

WR: K. Austin. Most naturally gifted WR on the team. Stay out of the doghouse and on the field.

LB: A. Bilal. In a position group with many questions, he needs to lead on and off the field with the young guys. Last year for him.

TE: C.Kmet. Has everything to be a great TE.

DB: D. Vaughn. Learned some tough lessons in the Clemson game. Potential to be very good.

S: Jalen Elliot. The other piece of the puzzle with Gilman.

K: J. Doerer. He should hold off Leonard in camp to win the job. Room for improvement especially on KO's.

P: J.Bramblett. Welcome to college football kid. Don't fuck this up.
