That's a pain in the buns
So after a very disappointing year from the Kickoff return game in 2007, how do you think we could make 2008 a much better year than finishing 117th in Kickoff average return yardage?

Brandon Saine, Ray Small, Malcolm Jenkins, Devier Posey, Lamaar Thomas, Travis Howard...
These would be main guys I'd be looking at in 2008 to add gamebreaking potential to our return games..
I really have a tough time believing Maurice Wells is the best we can put out there on kick returns. All his returns seem to get to the 20 yard line and that is it.
As for punt returns, Hartline is an okay guy in that role (as one of the dual returners), but the unit of Small and Hartline doesnt scare ya like Ginn and Holmes did.. We should have two guys back there who are a legit threat to house it every time they get a return.. Hartline really isnt that type

Buckeyecty4;1099491; said:I dont know if Saine would be good on punts.. IMO ideal PRs have real good feet and the ability to accelerate out of their cuts really well.. Saine to me is more of a straight line speedster.. I think on kickoffs he'd be great, find a seam and just explode through it.. but i dont love him on punts..
Thomas and Small would probably be a pretty nice tandem for punts
