Greg Hardy primed for a breakout year.

[Jack Power]

I cant wait till he gets 10 sacks this year and we get to make a montage of him with The Kraken score from Pirates of the Caribbean!

I hope that Hardy can come on strong this year. I thought, like many of you, that he would be something special for us at DE. I don't think thats it to late.

[Davidson Deac II]

Just hope he stays off Motorcycles this offseason.

[jtnc]

I sure hope so.

I never said he didn't. But he didn't do much to merit anything either way. It's just like the people that are very high on Barnidge. He has potential too, but he hasn't DONE anything. I will admit out of the two, I kinda wish we'd kept Rosario instead of Barnidge. Rosario was more athletic.

I agree with the Barnidge comment...because he hasn't don't anything at all. I'd rather have Dante right now just based on production

A lot of people look at Hardy sack totals and say he had a bad year, but I remember that he would come so close, like 1 or 2 steps away from a sack, also he had how many pass defensed did he have? A batted ball is almost as good as a sack. IMO, I think he is going to have a break out year, that motorcycle accident and the lockout probably slowed him down a bit.

It's not like Hardy has a choice.

It's his third year, he needs to step up or be.replaced..

The team is expecting him to step up. Im expecting the same.

The defense needs him to step up.

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

He played close to 290? Wow, didnt look that big last season.

[Montie_0123]

I'm hoping he does have one because he did show flashes last year. Hopefully he can pick off some passes, because I know last year he knocked down a few that he should have had for INTs with playing DE.

Also, QB's would just step up in the pocket(since we had no interior pressure) to avoid him.

I left that out, hopefully with a better interior push, Hardy and CJ sack numbers go up. But I still feel that Hardy will be a force on our D Line this coming season, but the DT position will most definitely help his cause.

This. He led the league in passes defended with 11.

Love me some hardy...most players typically have their breakout years in either the third or fourth years in the league
