Hartline & Robiskie

I think a big difference between them is Hartline is capable of holding his own as the #1 receiver and isn't limited to playing in the slot like Gonzo. If Robo were to go down, I don't think it would be a repeat of the NC game.

2006 Ginn + Gonzo 1st 10 games: 92 rec. 1276 yds 15 td.



I'd say our receivers are filling in fine.

I'd be interested to see how the numbers look if you include tight ends.

Edit:
2006 - Rory Nicol was the only tight end with 10 or more receptions. 13 receptions for 151 yards and 3 touchdowns.

2007 - Jake Ballard has 10 rpts for 119 yards and 2 tds, Nicol has 16 rpts for 84 yards and 0 tds.

I like the increased role the tight ends are playing this year.

(Of course, to be fair, Troy Smith often lined up with 5 wide receivers. When Boeckman lines up with 5 wide receivers, 1 is usually a tight end.)

but both Robo and Hartline played in the NC game!?

I think Robo is a 1, in college or in the NFL. I know that there were a lot of debates whether Ginn or Gonzo would be a 1 in the NFL. I don't think there's debate that Robo can be a 1 in the NFL. Hartline is a very good 2.

I think that Hartline and Robiskie form a very good wide receiver tandem, to be sure. But tops in the country is probably a bit of a stretch.

TT has 2 guys who both already have 1,000 yards, Crabtree and Amendola.
Louisville tandem of Douglass and Urratia.
Kentucky with Johnson and Burton.
OK with Kelly and Iglesias.
Cal- Jackson and Hawkins.

Again, not to take anything away from Hartline and Robo, but tops in the country may be a bit of a stretch.

I would keep that to yourself, either that or find your pants.

After 10 games this year, it seems that this widereceiver "class" seems more versital. I haven't really noticed if anyone has lined up in different positions, but if I remember correctly, Robo and Hartline were both in the slot last year. I would like to think that Hartline would be able to play a wideout, but haven't really noticed him lined up in that position. Adding Small in the equation, just adds to the versitility.

Buckeyes' Brians both produce

Wideouts were a big part of Ohio State's title-game run in 2007.

By Rusty Miller
Associated Press

Saturday, April 12, 2008
COLUMBUS ? Around the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, they're simply called "the Brians."
In 2007, Brian Hartline and Brian Robiskie accounted for 97 catches, more than 1,600 yards on receptions and 18 touchdowns as Ohio State's top two passing targets. Now they're back and preparing for another year of making big plays as the Buckeyes' bookend ends.
They look nothing alike. Yet their numbers are almost identical.
Robiskie, son of the veteran NFL player and assistant coach Terry Robiskie, led the Buckeyes in catches a year ago with 55 ? just three more than the other Brian. Robiskie, a senior-to-be, piled up 935 yards and 11 touchdowns and was the No. 1 deep target for quarterback Todd Boeckman.
Almost insulted when a reporter says the two Brians are similar in size, Robiskie hastens to point out that at 6-foot-3 and 199 pounds, he's an inch taller and 13 pounds heavier than Hartline.
"And that's not a little bit in football," he said defensively.
Hartline, who will be a junior this fall, totaled 694 yards and six touchdowns on his 52 receptions. His 90-yard return down the Northwestern sideline in a 58-7 win at Ohio Stadium broke by three yards the 57-year-old school record set by Robert Demmel against Iowa. Hartline and Robiskie return punts, although Hartline led the Buckeyes in return yardage (229) and return average (11.4 yards).
