Will Shawne Merriman return to form?

[Chris Raiden]

After a year away with a very serious knee injury, will Shawne Merriman return to form this season, or will he be a shell of his former self?

His sack #'s might not be that high, but just him being there will make the whole defense a better unit

I think that Merriman is going to be even better this year. He's had a full year to get even stronger, and he'll have the motivation of a contract and sitting out last year to drive him. He's one of the few players in the NFL that opposing QBs didn't want to see get any more motivation, and now Merriman has it. I fully expect him to seriously hurt someone this year.
