You may be right, but i'm relatively confident that the staff will put him where he has the most potential and I think that is running back, but he could line up at receiver in some formations. |

Might they use him like a Reggie Bush clone perhaps??
Teddy never really was like Reggie Bush as he wasn't a true RB....
If Saine really is blazing fast, don't you think they could use him like USC used Bush perhaps?

You said he doesnt have the finesse of Ginn? I believe finesse is more valuable to a tailback over a wide out anyday. You dont need THAT much finesse to run a streak or post route. You need speed, and Saine has a lot of speed.

Just because he is 3rd on the RB depth chart does not mean he won't see the field. MoWells and Beanie are better RBs, so therefore Saine would be 3rd. Howevere, he could still see the field in numerous positions, formations, or situations even as a freshman.

That's been what the coaches have told him according to his updates... I can see occasionally deploying him out wide, but am curious to see it in action due to their different styles.

I was contrasting finesse vs physical play.
Ginn is lightning quick, pretty thin, and can break your ankle at full speed.
Saine is quick in a straight line, very strong, and isn't that elusive in the open field.
Saine is somewhat of a faster Erik Haw. I'm merely pointing out that they really aren't similar athletes.
