Wow, I can't believe how many people are just downright bashing Breaston. Not all, the good majority of you are giving him his due credit and respect. But some are just trashing this kid and making it sound like he's chopped liver. I happen to think that he's a hell of a player. I seem to remember him scoring 8 touchdowns his freshman season on around 80-90 touches. Sound kind of familiar to any Buckeye fans? Last season Breaston was hurt pretty much the entire year with a stress facture in his foot, hammy pulls, and two broken fingers. Not trying to make excuses for him, because to be honest he actually had a pretty decent season despite all the injuries. Maybe some of you bashing him missed the Rose Bowl, where he was finally healthy and exploded for 315 total yards. I guess if Ginn doesn't get at least 315 total yards against Texas than he must not be any good like Breaston.
Now I know Ohio State fans hate Michigan, but don't you guys at least give credit where credit is due? Breaston is one damn good football player. So is Jason Avant. How anybody could knock Avant is beyond me. He's a solid possesion receiver, runs routes with deadly precision, and has the surest hands on Michigan's entire team. All he does is go over the middle and get 1st downs when you need them. Last season, of his 32 catches, 22 went for 1st downs. Has anybody also stopped to think that maybe, just maybe with true freshman at QB and RB that the Michigan offensive coaching staff dumbed down the playbook as much as possible and that they tried to get the ball to their best player (Braylon) as often as possible?
As for the guy who mentioned Tabb, yes he's one of the fastest players on the team but speed means squat at WR. Tabb is likely going to be the 5th WR. Adrian Arrington is really coming on in camp and so is Mario Manningham. I expect those guys to be the #3 and #4 WR's, and Tabb to be burried on the depth chart. Sure he's real fast, but that doesn't mean anything in Michigan's offense if you can't run good routes or block.
