I hope Barnes turns out to be the break out player. That would save us a ton of cap space to spend on our many other needs. But Barnes seems a little bit like a tweener. I hope I am wrong. Not elite fast to be a top cover CB to cover the top WR's, but also not big enough to be a top safety.
If he can take over Carlos Rogers position with out any drop off, would be huge. I hope so.
I really think Barnes will continue to excel as the second FS in the Dime package. Allowing Dirty 30 to move up close to the line and scaring the shit out the Qb's.

I know he has kind of already had a break out season, but I still think Lorenzo Alexander can be a animal at the ILB position. Where he should have been from the beginning. His size and strength at the point of attack will help our porous run defense. His year as a starter and his great football instinct will be a huge help. I know many want Henson to be the one to fill that position, Alexander blitzing from that position will be a sight to see. Can't wait. Who would you double team Orakpo, Kerrigan, Dirty 30 or Lorenzo Alexander?
