One of Urban Meyer's biggest concerns regarding Roby was that he wasn't getting enough work during spring drills.

"I think he gets bored," Urban Meyer said to Tim May of The Columbus Dispatch during training camp. "I think he's really talented and in the spring, he didn't get challenged. We didn't have time to challenge him because we were either getting sacked we weren't very good on offense."

Time for Roby to shut this man down:

Zac Dysert is a big, strong-armed and yet mobile quarterback who passed for 293 yards a game last season while tossing 23 touchdown passes. He will take shotgun and pistol snaps, can run it and is a wizard at finding his favorite target, wide-out Nick Harwell. All Harwell did a year ago was pile up 97 receptions for 1,425 yards and nine TDs.

I think he might be the best and most valuable player on this defense. Far and away our best defensive back and he has that IT factor about him. Seeing him almost pull down that interception, countless pass breakups, and that fumble recovery for a TD have just reinforced my belief in Roby. As for Howard, I will wait to pass too much judgement onto him, but he doesn't look much different from last year.

I honestly don't think you can call that a fumble recovery. It was more like this is my fucking ball -3rd effort -you can't have it -IT'S MINE. I'm not sure who he took that ball from in the end, but he certainly wanted it more.

Ohio State's Roby strives for straight As
September, 13, 2012
By Adam Rittenberg | ESPN.com

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer doesn't have to worry about cornerback Bradley Roby this week.

No player on the Buckeyes roster is more geared up for Saturday's game than Roby, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound sophomore from Suwanee, Ga. While most Buckeyes are highlighting games against Michigan State, Wisconsin and, of course, Michigan, Roby has targeted the Cal game for months.

The reason: he'll be tested in a big way by Cal's All-America wide receiver Keenan Allen. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Bears star is a leading candidate for the Biletnikoff Award, and he comes in at No. 16 on Mel Kiper's Big Board for the 2013 NFL draft (No. 2 receiver overall).

"This is definitely a game that has been marked on my calendar," Roby told ESPN.com. "I've been watching film on him for a while. He's a bigger receiver. He's about 6-3. He has good athleticism. It's something I'm looking forward to. I mean, it?s the best versus the best, so we're going to see who comes out on top."

And that's fine. I've actually positively adjusted my opinion of him since I wrote that. I'm mainly referring to his fluidity out there. It just doesn't seem like a guy who would be playing corner. He always seems stiff to me.

I actually disagree with that. I've been specifically watching Travis this year. I think he's very fluid this year. Last year he had his moments, but for the most part he was a little stiff. Last year he was killed with double moves and comeback routes because he rounded his baseball turn instead of planting with the WR. Once he put the work in, Travis has the tools to be great. His body was made for the corner position.

The hands of a receiver?
Until he chose Ohio State and defense, cornerback Bradley Roby was showing a lot of promise on the offensive side of the ball.

The first time Gerald ?Boo? Mitchell laid eyes on Bradley Roby, he couldn?t help noticing a thing or two.

?He was 9 years old, he was tall for his age, he was skinny ? he hardly had any meat on his bones ? and he was fast,? Mitchell recalled.

A future track star? Maybe, except Mitchell coached the pee-wee football team in Lilburn, Ga., that Roby was looking to join. From his first wind sprint, the kid stood out as the fastest player on the lot.

?But the first thing you ask yourself as a coach is: Is he anything other than fast?? Mitchell said. ?Can he do anything with fast? A lot of kids are fast, but football is not about just being fast; it?s about being fast and athletic.

?Bradley quickly showed me he had good hands, that he could catch the ball. And then, Bradley has always had just this unbelievable knack for running routes.?
