Please Please Pleaaaase speed it up Tress. “Ohio State can take something from those spread teams that rush to the line. In a Beanie Wells-themed offense, it made sense to be a bit more deliberate while getting ready to run the ball. But with receivers like DeVier Posey, Lamaar Thomas and Dane Sanzenbacher, I think the Buckeyes should, can and will do more with their short passing game. They have run a no-huddle at times, but if you can really focus on snapping the ball more quickly, at least in spots, to keep a defense confused and/or tired, it makes it that much easier for Terrelle Pryor to burn them with a big run.”

You mean, like, umm, nobody the Cavs have been rumored to be trading for? “The inability to handle Howard one-on-one created the majority of defensive issues for the Cavs. The issues with the swingmen were often a symptom of sending extra attention to Howard. But you are right that the Cavs need more tall perimeter defenders and that really showed up against a tall team like Orlando. So after a big man, that is the next priority. Because those players are generally easier to find, the Cavs should make an addition or two there.”

At least the Cavs have some good plans for the draft.  Yikes.  “Frankly, the Cavs have no idea what will be available here. If one of the marquee point guards is still around they will have to consider it. They also have some ideas about some wing defenders. There’s a good chance they will look to trade up during the draft. ”
