Tryon's not really a breakout player, IMO, though he fits the formula of "good advanced coverage numbers" and "young". Left in his role from last year (nickel), he can keep posting good numbers year after year, as long as he's given a steady stream of zone responsibility.
The idea that he could replace Rogers at LCB as soon as this year is pretty far-fetched. He's a poor man's DeAngelo Hall, and considering what we're already paying the real DeAngelo Hall, his only chance of breaking into the starting lineup is injury. This, and of course, the Blache scheme is dead, so he's starting from scratch.
He's probably right around his max potential already, and can stay there for three to four more years, or a year or two into his next contract (which means I wouldn't really go out of my way to extend him past 2011).
