Smalls had a TD called back against Michigan...
so the threat of him is a legit thing on special teams, we just need
to make it more of the norm.

I guess we weren't able to see the real Small last year partly because the blocking on special teams last year was atrocious. And I think if he can have a good return consistently along with holding onto the ball, I have no problem putting him back there. |

Ask Kent State what they think of Hartline's punt returning ability...

Personally, I think the blocking could use more work than the return man. I think there was a dropoff after the 05 season in that department.

Flash Thomas? Very explosive, question will be reliability with veterans currently manning the depth chart for returners.

I was talking about Ben Buchannon but yeah I guess we can touch on both. Well I think you should give everyone a fair shot at the return position and go from there. I don't care about how old one guy is to another. It's about production. | |
