MID: Muma. I had several options here. Cisco, Lloyd. Walker. What I liked from Muma from last year is he seemed to be more into position. Especially, when he had game time against the run. Also, shown some promise at blitzes and generating pressure. He had some moments where he was beat on the passing game. I feel he becomes the most improved.

Breakout: Abdullah. Watching his preseason performance gives me a good feeling he will show up early in his NFL career. He will take some lumps against starters in the first quarter of the season. But, he will explode out of nowhere and could push for more defensive snaps in the 2nd half of the season.

Disappointing: Bartch. I see potential. However, I don't feel he will hold up and Little will likely take over at LG when Robinson returns from suspension.

Best Player. Lawrence. It was between him and Etienne. I feel Etienne will be dangerous when the passing game is feared by opposing defenses. But, Lawrence is set to potentially have an MVP run. I choose Trevor here.

Etienne is also my runner up for this category. I think he's poised to be a major factor in this offense. Especially coming off the rookie injury and with that year under his belt. I think when you look at the additions of Strange and Bigsby. 

There's a good chance they mix it up quite a bit with different looks and Etienne will probably not only get opportunities with less defenders around the box, but, also lined-up out wide. 

It's the screen game I am looking forward to this year in particular. The outside zone running will more than likely be there when and if we need it. Let Etienne use his natural burst and vision there and let the rest of the offense compliment it from there.
