What are you excited about?

I am excited to make the 2007 season a distant memory in the rear view mirror, along with returning this proud franchise to it's glory days again.:up:

The first thing that came to me was R. Brown in the backfield running over people with Jake leading the way.

Let's have fun with these and write down your five things......

I'm excited about everything. There's just so much that will be going on ... battles at so many positions, changes in philosophies, changes in schemes, etc. Can't wait!

I'm excited to see what the new regime can do with the boat load of young talent we have on both sides of the ball. Jason Allen, Channing Crowder, Phillip Merling, Matt Roth, Randy Starks, Ted Ginn, Derek Hagan, Anthony Fasano, Samson Satele, Jake Long, Chad Henne, John Beck, etc. These guys are important to our future success and I can't wait to see how they perform with better coaching.

I am excited about an attacking defense rather then one that was getting run over for 60 minutes. I am also excited about sustained drives on offense, rather then going three and out.:up:

Porter moving to his correct position and wreaking havoc.

Ronnie coming back to full strength and showing he can get back to last year's form.

Keith Davis annihilating people.

Merling signing and getting a good amount of playing time.

Moses/Anderson taking JT's spot or the other side.

I get excited every year about this time especially with the changes to the coaching staff. I'd like to see Beck and Ginn suprise the rest of the league.

I just hope that last year will be seen as the kick up the a** the franchise needed and starts us on a long period of success!

I agree, same here. Also, really want to know how much Beck has progressed.

The idea that we have a football organization again from the coaches to the top management.:wink2:

He's so fun to watch.

1) Beck excelling
2) Ginn dominating special teams and wide receiver
3) power running game
4) Bell/Allen safety combo staying healthy and well all year
5) Offensive line gelling
6) Young dline playing well

needed to add one more

Hell yea, he should have some highlights for us this year.

I should say I'm excited to see what Beck can do too but thats 50/50 with nervous.

Ginn should do just fine, I think his game depends more on the OL and QB then whether or not he has the tools.

O yea most of all, I'm excited to see:

A REAL TRAINING CAMP WITH COACHES THAT UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF CONDITIONING THEIR PLAYERS!

If we're in the best shape possible, we're in for an exciting year.

You said it better than I and only used one word!

Ginn returning kicks and Ricky rushing for a thousand

I'm excited about everyone's excitement. We all get like this every year. I hope we become a powerhouse again.

Beating the Jets on opening day. :up:

Watching a young scrappy team getting after it.

A coach who know when to kick the flipping field goal and when to go for it on 4th down. Special teams which will probably be our best unit this year...

The new "No-Name Defense" is tops on my list to see how they perform. Last year was terrible defensively and I'm hoping that we can see a return to 2006's defensive form. I am particularly excited to see how Merling and our other rookie defensive players perform as well as our new free agents like Ayodele, Torbor, etc.

Then there is the offense and a position I am particularly interested besides the QB battle is the TE battle to see who starts there. Then seeing how this new o-line does against competition this season is something I'm keeping my eyes on.

Overall its a new year, anything can happen, and I'm excited. :yes:

How about no drama for one year. Just one year?????????

I want to see the stadium have a full capacity again, sooner than later :)

And of course what most have mentioned already. Brown, Beck/Henne, Long, Ginn, Crowder, philospophy, scheme's, attitude, culture.

To see Ted Ginn make everybody say, "Devin Hester who?"

I am excited to actually have something to be excited about considering the debacle of last season and the season before.
I am also excited about the status of our salary cap and the fact our team is slowly becoming younger and younger.

I am looking forward to watching a new young team rebuilding....seeing how our O-line jells and hopefully opens up huge holes for Ronnie and Ricky to run through. Hopefully one of our three QB's will step up and at least show us something at the position, which we haven't had since Dan retired. I also am looking forward to seeing how our defense plays without Zach and JT. I am sure it wil be rough at times, but I think we will be ok. I think we can air it out a little more on offense and get Ginn involved more. Can't wait.

WARNING OFF TOPIC

I am unexcited by the fact that we still have unsigned rooks

-----------------------------
With that said, I am excited that we are building throught the trenches
