2011 Ball St. Cardinals

[celticdb15]

<div>Ball State will start 14 whites if Ryan and Martin win their position battles! SS Sean Baker has ideal size to go along with great career production(243 tackles and 16ints so far). He will probably be ignored by the NFL just like fellow MAC safety Brian Lainhart was this past year. Orsbon is a guy I hope has a great Sr. year I remember when he was first coming out of HS a few years ago this guy has some speed and athleticism. Ball St. starts 5 white OL

They started 12 whites last year so I nice increase of 2.

I'm glad to hear about this improvement! Ball State has started 14, 10, 7, 7, 11, and 12 Whites since '05.

Thanks Colonel Reb for those past years numbers! Very helpful...something I have naturally done since childhood was counted..it mattered for some reason!

When seeing the Ball State preview... was stoked about NFL Prospect Sean Baker; then quickly reminded about Lainhart...after the lock-out is finally over...some NFL Team is about to get a undrafted rookie free-agent STEAL with him!

&gt;&gt;&gt;Along with Herzlich, Bair, Maehl &amp; Wujciak/please don't tell me lack of speed with Brandon "5 flat" Spikes in the league...Edited by: TwentyTwo
