I'm gonna go with LB - With Posluszny back, and Kawika Mitchell - I think these guys can dominate with just a little more help up front - Let's hope Stroud provides just enough - of course more than enough would be welcome as well...

There's no one unit that gets me excited, but I'm optimistic about QB, RB, WR, OL, DL and LB."It is better to be divided by truth than to be united by error." -- Martin Luther

RB.
I think a whole season of Lynch + Jackson is going to be awesome. Have a feeling atleast one of the other backs below them in the depth chart going to be a good 3rd option too.Originally posted by LOSman WINSOriginally posted by Prov401Originally posted by better daysComment

Re: What single unit of our team excites you the most...
RBs are great. The only thing tempering my enthusiasm is that their play depends heavily on the OL and a passing game that's good enough to prevent D's from stacking the box.Comment

LB is a good choice.
I'd chose RB a whole year of ML and FJ tandem should be fun to watch.
Also, I am curious to see Stroud and the rest of the DL play a lot hinges on them.Originally posted by paladin warriorComment

Re: What single unit of our team excites you the most...
I'm going to take a little bit different tack in answering this question.
I don't know if you could say that it's the unit that excites me the most, but the unit that intrigues me the most is the defensive line.
The additions of M.Stroud, S.Johnson and C.Ellis are obvious reasons to be excited about a possible improvement of the unit.
But, I'm also interested in how the health problems that they had during the course of last season may have negatively impacted Kelsay, Denney, Stroud and even Schobel and whether they can rebound from those injuries.
In addition, it should be interesting to see how much of an improvement J.McCargo and K.Williams are able to make and the energy that C.Ellis is able to add to the pass rush.
While I don't know that they will hit their stride right from Opening Day, I think that this unit has the potential to perhaps be the most improved unit on the team as the season progresses if everyone can stay reasonably healthy.
That potential has me intrigued as much as excited because I really think that what this unit does this season could have a big impact on the whole team and their chances of making the playoffs.Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.Comment

It's a tossup between CB and RB.

Re: What single unit of our team excites you the most...
On the D side. The D line has to get penetration, the LB's have to play their positions and the DB's have to cover, if all do their job well have some excitement all around. If all do their job and are in sync, I see the LB's having a field day out there. Containment and coverage, Containment and Coverage.
On the O side. Trent. He's had a year as well as Marshawn. The line is coming back, Shonerts play calling has a lot to do with it, but I can see Trent having a good first 10 games. Not all wins but good games, the last 6 or so are going to be on the line and the RB's. The common denominator is the Line. I want that line to crush people.I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.Comment

Every position. I really think every position will be improved. It might sound cliche, but it is true.
If I really had to only pick one, it is RB. Beast Mode and Fred "The Gem" Jackson should be elite, and very exciting to watch."Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad

WR,RB,DB,LB in thay orderComment

Re: What single unit of our team excites you the most...
I think its RB, not just because Lynch and Jackson are so good, but also because either Wright or Omon might emerge as a big 3rd down back.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

The lines. Games are won in the trenches, and it will be interesting to see if A)the O-line can improve upon last year, and B)if the new additions will be able to make a difference on the D.YardRat Wall of Fame
