If he develops catching the ball, out of the backfield, slot, [censored]-Ginn... whatever... that would certainly be a nice thing though... best Athletes on the field, eh?

I don't know what the [censored]-Ginn is, but it sounds like a crappy formation. |

4.5 forty, ran the 400 m with a personal best of 48.6 as a HS senior IRCC. But track speed is different that football speed. I think his on field speed will open a few eyes. We've only seen him catching passes of maybe 10 yards of whick he caught nearly everything (except the YSU game). Gonzo and Dane have similar moves and quickness, Gonzo may be a step faster but we're comparing him as a junior vs a freshman. His quickness will improve, he has the tools.

well again I'm not saying Saine is a bust or that he sucks or anythign like that. He was a nice weapon from time to time this past year and I look for his role to expand next year, especially recieving the football. Also I never said Herron is going to be a HUGE contributor but rather someone who chips in and gets you that needed first down once in a while or who might spring one for 30 yards ever so often. Again not saying a world beater but someone who will get you 300 yards and 4-5 TD's.
Also I realize saine was injured this year 3 games in but I even noticed his running patterns before he got hurt as well. He had those 2 nice runs against YSU and had those 2 nice runs against Washington but it looked to me like whenever he was in it didn't seem like there were any holes to run through. However, Beanie comes in and he's makng that cut and he's hitting holes with no problem. I realize Siane is a freshman and I hope he proves me wrong, but I think Herron is the more natural. Saine is the more talented but Herron I think will have "it" Again this is all just on a hunch regaurding herron...
Surprised no one has hardly said taurian washington he was one player I wanted to see more of last year

I think Aaron Pettrey is going to re-claim the starting kicking posistion and do a fantastic job.
Not necessarily an unexpected contrbutor, but maybe more of an unexpected aggressiveness. I think Tressel and our special teams coaches "amp up" our kick-off return unit with more first and second teamers to increase our athleticism and blocking.
Our kick-off returns were beyond poor last year, and I don't think it was becuase of the return men.

personally moving pretorious to starter was always a myth to me? Why? to me pretorious has trouble with getting the ball UP! He had problems in the kick scrimmage since he's been at OSU with getting kicks blocked, and Pettrey doesn't have that problem. You add Pettrey with having the stronger leg, and getting the ball up quicker and you SHOULD have the starter...
