Healthy Rose Hopes To Provide Thorny Presence..........Rose discusses his injury plaqued 2007 season and says he is at 300 pounds and has maintained his speed.

Of the DL OSU has recruited in the past several years none excited me more than Rose. I am absolutely pumped to see him come back anywhere near healthy.

 

[RB07OSU]

Honestly, 300 lbs. doesn't surprise me. He looked like a DT all the way in the pictures.

So have they officially moved him to DT yet?

From what I saw on the BTN he is still working at DE.

According to the article on the last page, he will be a DT in passing situations.

This kid looks like he is ready to annihalate some people this year!

I think the obvious idea, is to utilze him like Justin Tuck of the Giants.

I'd like to see a blitz in those situations sometimes - to keep the offense guessing, and to try to force a turnover.

Rose talks about shaking off the rust. Heacock talks about Rose returning from injury, and when he may be used inside.

Heacock is also toying with the idea of using Rose the same way, at both defensive end and on the interior of the defensive line.

"I'm going to be playing both inside and outside. I'm up to 300 pounds now but I kept my quickness," said Rose.

Rose sat out the end of last season with his injuries and all of spring ball after his surgeries. The layoff left him a little rusty.

"I do feel a little rust because I haven't practiced since November. I'm trying to get the kinks out as we go. The rust is coming off. The first couple of days it was tough getting back into the habit of running to the ball but its coming back," Rose said.

Heacock said Rose started a little slowly in camp but has shown glimmers of greatness of late.

"He's coming off two shoulder surgeries and it always takes a little time to get confidence, you can see him kind of protecting himself a little bit, but he had a good practice today (tuesday), very dominant out there and I guess noticeable, he was making some plays. He's really trying hard and he wants to get back in there," said Heacock.
