Special teams: Hartbarger is for real. Definitely Brandon Fields. I see the comparison Mike. That one they ran back was kick inside the hashes as you mentioned would give us trouble. But, that had more to do with our coverage imo. Cronin also had a very good game. What incredible touch on those squib kicks!
Geiger will be fine. He was fine most of last year. Just started off slow.
Our coverage is the biggest concern of the team. We do a terrible job (especially the left side) of staying in our gaps on kick coverage. On punts, how the heck do you not get down there in time to be surrounding the returner with those booming kicks? MODS, please answer this. I cannot figure it out. The ball is in the air for eternity. Gotta get this fixed. Maybe Tressel needs to take special teams back over? I know it is too early for that. We just have way too good of players on those coverage teams to be having all these mistakes.
