Most Excited About...?

hey how do you make a poll. for some reason i can't make a poll.

I voted other, but I really didnt read the everything. I was going to vote for Taylor Jacobs, but then I saw it said "NEW" redskin. Anyhow I would have voted for Moss and Patten. I am really excited to see how our revamped WR core will do.

McCune certainly has potential. What does it say about our offseason, though, that a fifth-round linebacker is drawing as many votes as our first-round picks and speedy new WRs? That cannot be a good sign ...

I'm more excited about McCune then guys like Patten or Moss because he was a 5th rounder and a great value. If McCune was drafted in the first round, I'd be pissed because it'd be a waste.

I like Patten and Moss, but I don't think they're top notch wideouts. Although I know we can't have Pro Bowlers at every position, I would like to have one true #1 wideout. Unfortunately, I don't believe that Patten or Moss are true #1s.

Honestly, I'm excited to have Casey Rabach. I know hes not a spectacular, top teir player. However, I think with him coming in, and the return of Jon Jansen, our offensive line is going take huge strides. The game is won in the trenches and I think this is going to be a very good addition.

Maybe it is just my opinion, but I just don't see anyone that I want to vote for! Since FB is a team game, each of these players will have to depend on each of his teammates in order to have success. I like some, but certainly not all, (I totally dislike the Campbell trade up and pick!) and I'm not excited about those that I like!

On the other hand, since I see no standouts, the TEAM (collectively) may be better!

We know that HOF Coach Gibbs will not start the Rookies right away, so the vets immediately get a jump-up! If this board were a guage, I think all here were more "excited" about Rabach and Holdman of the signees. More excited about Rogers than any other Rookie, and more excited about Moss than Patten, but only because we got rid of L. Coles!
So there is no ONE particular player!

I don't know if I can say I'm excited to see any one new "player". What I'm most excited for is to see the effect these new players have on the team as a whole. I'm probably splitting hairs with that statement, if it makes any sense at all, but let me explain.

I'm certainly excited to see Moss bring the big long TD bomb that we desperately need, but just as much, I'm excited to see what effect his speed (as well as Patten's) has on the way the defenses play our team. I'm excited to see whether they can keep the safeties honest, preventing them from coming up and stacking the box. Really, the effect I hope Moss & Patten have is to open up more running lanes for Portis.

Also, with that in mind, I'm really excited about Rabach. I'm excited because he's young and new, but I'm really anticipating seeing his speed in getting out on some of those pulling blocks he'll need to run. Raymer just couldn't pull as quickly as was needed, and couldn't get in position to block, and I thought LBs were able to stack up in the hole against Portis last year. I'm excited to see Rabach get out to the linebackers with his speed, and see if Portis can get hit full speed before getting hit (instead of getting hit before he got to full speed). I think with Rabach, the opportunity is there to seal off a few more blocks.

I'm also very excited to have a much more nimble RT. Getting Jansen back is huge.

I'm also extremely excited to see if we have improvement in short-yardage due to the fullbacks we just drafted. I don't care if they never touch the ball, I just want to see if they can bulldoze some dudes down around the goalline.

Basically, we've brought in a few new parts on offense, which is great. But I'm focusing on what effect that's going to have on a player we already have, our best offensive player, Clinton Portis. I'm most excited to see if that 3.8 yards per carry can become 4.5, with several game-breaking TD romps. Gibbs is still, and always will be, a run-first guy. I love the running game.

Run, Clinton, run!!!

I'm also excited to see if Ramsey can make a leap, and excited to see Antonio Brown on returns for a full season, and special-teams in general.

I find reasons for optimism. We'll have our share of issues, for sure, but I like where we're headed.

I am most excited about the receivers we have obtained! I think, with their speed, they will be able to CREATE a little more SEPARATION than Coles and Gardner could. Not only going deep but working all routes. I think this tandem, IF WE USE THEM CORRECTLY, will be MUCH better than Coles and Gardner!

I agree. I was torn in making a decision too. Each one of these players plays off the other. As far as pure excitement, I'm going with Moss too. After hearing how he REALLY felt (minus what Rosenhaus TOLD him to do) it seems like he really wants to be here. I'm very happy with the fact that 77% of his completions went for first downs. The guy knows how to get in the end zone.
