2021 Ohio State Offseason Thread

Although there is some concern with a new QB, I am still much more concerned about the defense.  Stroud has everything around him that you would want for an inexperienced QB.

That is my biggest concern. I am still not sold on Kerry Coombs as the DC. He is a great DB coach, just not sure that translates to a good DC. Last year defense was concerning with the match ups that other offenses were able to exploit against our defense. I am hoping that some or most of that can be chalked up to missing players due to Covid or other issues. I guess we will see.

Yes it will be interesting to see.

they lost so many defense of backs so quickly to the NFL and then their most experienced guy, cam Brown got hurt right out of the gate.

Force them to play Sean Wade at a position not to his strength, and then add on top of that they never got to practice the spring nuances that go with the very base single high coverage they run most of the time.  I will be very interested to see if the “Bullet” Is used more this year with different personnel since it was rarely used last season and Pete Werner basically played it and never really left the field

The bullet position and throwing to the TE.  2 things that are in the believe it when I see it category.

No doubt.  They did not throw the title much but when they did it was so effective it makes you wonder why they don’t do it more. I’m wondering if the move of G Scott to tide and will move that needle?   He will be a matchup nightmare for any linebacker he comes across
