It wasn't easy, but I am going with Carlos Dunlap.  I think that while all four DTs will benefit from the rotation of Pat, Peko, Geno, and Thompson, the DEs will also benefit from the added pressure in the middle.  Dunlap was the only real threat in the pass rush department a year ago, so he was easy to game plan against.  This year, I think opposing offenses have more to worry about and Dunlap has a "breakout star" kind of season.

I don't think Dunlap breaks out. Not due to lack of talent, but we knew coming out of college he was gonna be a 8-9 sack a year guy. He's just not a 10+ sacks a year guy. And that's fine, he gets tons of pressure which can let other guys get sacks, plus he's good in the run game. I think Dunlap is what he is and I mean no disrespect by that.
