All i will say is that he said it is not a real serious injury, and he will be full go for fall camp. He was walking with a bad limp if that means anything for you guys lol

That's pleasantly surprising news after he crawled to the sidelines in the Spring Game.

Hines posing with the DB's. Is there anything to that?

"Without Washington, OSU figures to turn to third-year sophomore Chimdi Chekwa at corner. Chekwa?s nickel back position could be manned by converted linebacker Jermale Hines."

Statements like this and the switching around of the LB's to try and keep them on the field in nickel make it pretty obvious as to how the staff is reacting to the run first/spread option teams.

Hines has been working with the safeties for quite awhile now...I could be wrong, but I believe he played with the DBs some during spring camp...the kid is a player, Fickell really liked him...

I do not remember Hines working with the safeties in the spring. I was sure he would see some time at LB'er this year, but this works he will see more time this way. This will help get Moeller and Rolle on the field as well.

Interesting point

It's well known that Iowa's defensive coordinator is very stubborn about keeping his linebackers on the field. Gonzo ate Iowa LB's for breakfast, lunch and dinner while he was here.

But Iowa matched up pretty well against Illinois.

Ohio State football: Coleman out, Jermale Hines to start at safety

Jermale Hines

An already depleted Ohio State secondary will be even more short-handed Saturday with Jim Tressel's announcement today that starting junior safety Kurt Coleman is unlikely to play after rolling his ankle in practice Monday. Backup cornerback Andre Amos is also expected to miss the game due to injury.

Sophomore Jermale Hines, a Glenville grad who only moved from linebacker to safety during this preseason, is expected to start in Coleman's place.

That's a fast move up the depth chart for a player who missed the first five games of last season, including all the practices, while his eligibility was verified by the NCAA Eligibility Center.

"You can really draw a conclusion from all the time he missed last year and yet our coaches didn't want to redshirt him," Tressel said, "because they saw so much improvement.

"He's such a smart player. I'm not sure I've ever seen a guy who could go line up and play a position and probably didn't get coached. He's got natural instincts and an understanding for the game of football."

At the start, Hines was moved from linebacker to safety because big, fast players who can cover the pass but still defend against the run are at a premium these days, especially against offenses that like to run the ball from a spread offense. But Tressel was impressed that Hines had developed from a safety to be used in nickel defense situations into an every-down safety who could be called on at a time like this.
