No real surprises, maybe Tanard Jackson in place of Reggie Nelson.

lol Leon Hall. Perfect example that this guy barely paid attention to these guys and just looked at stats. Leon Hall had a garbage rookie year.

Ya I think I read a stat that he gave up 11 touchdowns, Revis on the other hand 2 I believe, one of them he got hammered by his own teammate

Eric Wright or Aaron Ross def shoulda made it

Looking back, there have been many good contributing rookies.

EDIT: I haven't seen one Bucs game all year so can anyone tell me if Gaines Adams is good? I remember looking in week 9 and he had 0 sacks.

Gaines only had 6 sacks? Wow...for a 4th overall pick that's pretty terrible, and Okoye had something like 4 sacks in the first 3 games and finished with 5.5.

No Aaron Ross? I mean the giants were last in the league last year in pass defense. He comes along this year and we jump all the way up to 11th in the league in Pass Defense.

44 tackles 1.5 sacks 3 interceptions.

Clifton Ryan made the Dline so much better when he started starting. Him and Carriker transformed our dline. Allowing 2 100 yard games those being the final 2 games. Edgerrin James only got 102 yards.

No mention of them though....

He gave up the second-most touchdowns of anyone IIRC.

I wouldn't say he had a garbage year, but he was a rookie playing on the worst secondary in football. Anything above abysmal is a lot to ask.

That's a good point, I'd have him over Hall. Other than that I think the list is pretty good tho.

Who was first? Jason David?

leon hall had an average year for a rookie CB. he gave up a lot of touchdowns but the whole bengals secondary was pathetic.

Post #12 » by **CBS7** » Wed Jan 2, 2008 9:10 pm

McBride was arguably the best rookie CB for much of the year.

Glad to see Big Ed Johnson and Tony Ugoh getting some credit where it's due.
