Honestly, I am looking forward far more to seeing if Jimmy is advancing his physical stature (as far as adding muscle to his frame and polish to his timing with Kamara, Paris, Tate and Grimes) and whether or not the O-line looks more like a unit than they did this past season.
Really, I am going to be looking for word on how Chris Stewart is progressing as well. It seemed like he was a changed man after his near-transfer at mid-season and I had been reading a lot of good things about his development late in the season too. If he can over take Duncan at RT or Turkovich at LG, we may be seeing a real honest to goodness line forming in the spring.
If Chris Stewart and Sam Young both have fruitful off-seasons, can you imagine a left side of 6'8" 325 lbs Young and 6'4" 350 lbs Stewart and Wenger at center? Makes me drool thinking thoughts like "hand-off to Hughes looking left, he breaks through the line and is hauled down after an 8 yard gain....Tom, did you see the blocks by Young and Stewart on that play? Let's go to the replay to watch this hole open again...." Of course...that is also assuming there is not a required lead block by Schwapp...because then it may sound somethinglike this instaed..."hand-off to Hughes running left, and he is met in hole and driven back as Schwapp had trouble keeping his feet on that play Pat..."
Anyway, won't almost all of this year's class not play in their first B&G game until April of 2009 anyway? They aren't all going to be EE's so that would pretty much mean they won't be particiapting in spring ball THIS year...
