THE DUKE Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 On 1/16/2022 at 10:10 AM, NateDawg said: I think not winning the point of attack in the running game is a serious issue. I think if you look back at two years ago, even with Justin Fields, they relied on the power running game with JK Dobbins and the offensive line. As much as they seemed like a finesse team last year, when they needed the short yardage or to establish the run, they were getting beat up front. I think the reliance on the passing game was less part of the plan and more out of necessity. I hope at least they can get back to balance. Making a change with the offensive line coach I guess is the first move there. Part of that is the read option. If it's a give every time and Stroud isn't going to run then they need to go to a more pro style downhill running attack. Get under center more and do play action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also a byproduct of not committing to any type of gap play. Even with Braxton/Barrett they ran a lot of power read, counter, inverted veer, and trap.

That's what happens when you don't worry about the QB keeping it and he actually keeps it pretty much no matter who is at QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 For those that have followed the OSU website world for a while, a nice tribute to Gary Housteau. Gary passed a few days ago after a long fight with cancer. https://247sports.com/college/ohio-state/Article/Thank-you-to-longtime-Bucknuts-contributor-Gary-Housteau-for-everything-he-did-for-us-181263600/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 So what are these guys doing in terms of the 2022 NFL draft, are they staying or going? Both have another year if they want it but both are obviously seniors. Sevyn Banks Ohio State SR CB Jerron Cage Ohio State RS SR DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word on Banks but I think he’s checked out and will try the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 If Banks goes before rd 5, it's purely on reputation as an Ohio State cornerback. His play and injury history say he's a day 3 pick, and a late one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 He was hyped up as a first round guy in preseason but didn’t even start half the time this year and was surpassed by a true freshman. He has physical skills but clearly doesn’t have the work ethic because he got worse this year by a lot. Maybe a day 3 flier but that’s it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I could see him going as early as the 3rd round to as late as undrafted. Depends on how much someone views his tools and preseason hype and think they can develop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we put up 70 on them. If Knowles can get these guys right after half a year of practices, we'll destroy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
