Four Guys with the chance to bounce back
This week's Fix looks at guys with the opportunity to bounce back this season. I'm not necessarily saying that they will, just that they are set up with excellent chances.
I know the one minute video is tough to bear (especially in these dark non-Tiffany summer days), so my list from the video is after the jump
I considered players like Travis Henry, Julius Jones, Roy Williams, and Matt Leinart. Who do you think is set up for a bounceback?

I'd gladly draft all four (except Rudi) and reap the rewards from at least one.

i also think Henry will bounce back. hes in too good of a situation, plus when hes healthy hes a top 20 back. people are quick to forget early last year and all of 2006. I dont like Selvin Young, so if anything Torian will take work away from him. Shannahan is reckless with his backs, but he always makes them prove their worth before starting them. its never just immediate like some people think.
anyway, i think LJ will have a bounce back year too. hes still a feature back.. which is rare, plus he's the focal point of the offense, and his line is improved. yea the passing game sucks, but the still have bowe and gonzo to atlest take some press off of the d stacking the box. as long as hes healthy, hes a solid back. but after last year people will stupidly overlook him.
this is just a hunch, but i like reggie bush too. great offense, solid line, great passing game. i think he just had a softmore jinx kinda working with him. him and calvin johnson are just to talented and passonate not to achieve this year.
i dont think this really matters since hell be drafted high anyway, but i really like boldin this year. contract year!! ding ding! well sort of. but i like him showing that hes still their number one. or atleast good enought to post a raise.
this is obvious, but Frank Gore has to be better. its pretty obvious why, martz, decent line, focal point of the playbook, and it has to be a better passing game this year. featured back. all good signs.
same for SJAX

Bounceback player of the year is Jake Delhomme bringing Steve Smith along with him. They added a bunch of weapons and throwers come back even stronger after Tommy John surgery. Stewart, Muhammed and Hackett will be great late round FF draft picks this year.

yea, but if ur a baseball fan, u know that it usually takes a good 18 months to recover to full form from tommy john surgery. not everyone's john elway here, and he only had a bicep muscle replaced. i dont like delhomme this year. now thats an injury risk. maybe next year, but he'll be older.

Donovan McNabb all the way. The Eagles have set themselves up for one last shot at glory and McNabb will lead the charge and post unbelievable numbers.

Bounce - back player this year will be Thomas Jones. With that greatly improved O-line.
