not to be a kill-joy, but this stuff is always overdone. Thaddeus, Laurinitis, Freeman, Wilson, with Heyward and Rose on the inside was suposed to be SCARY.
Our sack leader last year had 4 sacks, if I'm recalling correctly. I think a lot of that may be scheme, but this enthusiasm carries over into every position group.
The quickest/best freshman will be an automatic contributor at returner. The best receiver will instantly improve the receiving core. The highest touted CB will make an instant impact. The athletic incoming LB will push for a starting position.
Not saying any of this won't happen, but it rarely does. I guess in a way it reminds me of people saying Rob Schoenhoft could be used in trick plays from the TE position. Or people saying we would utilize Boeckmen and Pryor in the same backfield as a regular package (I realize it happened against Texas but some thought it'd be an every game reality that would be indefensible). Or how about those calling for an option backfield of Saine, Berry, and Herron?
Bell will be a beast, but knowing tOSU's style, I'm a bit cautious to predict his impact as a freshman. At safety I would expect Domicone and Gant to get a lot of back-up time, with Moeller still getting some time at the Star, and I think at LB, we're pretty loaded with upper-classmen who have been waiting their turn (Rolle, Spitler, Sweat, Moeller, Sabino).
Welll se though...again, not a knock on what Bell can bring to the unit if given a chance.
