My expectations are outrageously high for Braxton.. talk about lightning in a bottle... whatever level is after great, that's what I think we're going to see

How about four...12 Gauge in the pistol with Zeke behind him, JT at H-back, and Braxton split out wide. Pick your poison...It's hard to believe we could have three potential Heisman candidates on the field at the same time on offense.
I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say Braxton will have to do something spectacular to land top of the depth chart at HBack.I expect to see brax taking a lot of first team snaps as HBack this fall. So pumped to see what he can do. Marshall and Wilson will come back week 2 to find out they are 2nd and 3rd string.

We've yet to see how well he can catch in traffic, if his ball handling skills have improved and whether or not his route running is as intuitive as Jalin's and whether or not he's got the same kind of consistency of conditioning that the other two guys have shown to have in the up-tempo when it comes to running routes.
Agree. He doesn't need to really learn anything new to take a handoff, jet sweep or catch in the backfield. I think we will see a lot of that week 1. Get the ball in his hands in space and let him 360. No doubt the playbook shrinks week 1. He will play more like Marshall in 2013 imo. He will get the ball quickly and I think he will be a decoy. I hope that by week 5-6 he can line up outside and burn the dbs with cardale in the gun (or would "as the gun" be more appropriate).I would agree if everyone was eligible for week 1. With Wilson and Marshall not being active I think they'll find more ways to get Miller involved. I'm sure starting out they'll find ways to protect him by not sending him across the middle or forcing him to run the whole route tree. He is so dangerous in the open field they they don't really need to do anything other than get him the ball within 5 yards of the LoS and room to operate.
I think there are plenty of reps for all 3 guys to play and if all 3 are on we will see formations with 2 H-backs to take advantage.
Austin Ward @AWardESPN 51s51 seconds agoErick Smith, safety. EDIT: Don't know why I read "defense". Dixon has #1 on offense as posted above...
I see no reason why Miller would change from #5...
Wtf. Now everyone who wears a 5 jersey looks stupid.Austin Ward @AWardESPN 51s51 seconds ago
New position, new number for Braxton Miller: The Ohio State senior is switching to No. 1 this season. "It's a new era."
To be fair, grown men wearing a jersey probably aren't worried about looking stupid to begin with. And Raekwon is #5 on defense, so you're not completely devoid of star power at that number.Wtf. Now everyone who wears a 5 jersey looks stupid.
