I made a post earlier today in another thread about how important it will be for Bleich / Davis to avoid injuries this season, so no argument there.  And Bleich at C is a question mark -- but it isn't unusual for interior OL to cross-train between G and C, and with Schmidt overseeing this transition, I trust that it will work.

I'm more worried about Ellis's weight than I am about his performance from last year, when he was a true frosh.  If it doesn't hinder him, the I expect him to be markedly improved with a season of starting experience under his belt, to build upon.

Bergeron is a pro prospect in my mind.  So, not worried about him at all.

So beyond Bleich / Davis staying healthy, what couple of other spots should I worry about?

I'm not attacking the kid -- just not convinced that Vett is a plus caliber starter, like a Koda Martin [for example] was at RT.   Him being in the starting lineup at RT might be more of a black mark against some of the other pieces in the pipeline than it is about him.  Will be happy if he proves me wrong, but the line has been problematic for a long time.  Substantial improvement was shown last year, due to Schmidt.  But it remains to be seen whether Vett is the missing piece at RT.  Him running with the #1's is a sign that those concerns might be unfounded, but I want to see it unfold on the field before I'll stop being concerned about the quality of play to expect at RT.
