Not enough conviction in the Animal's game... he needs to be more disruptive if he comes back to OSU or if he goes pro... He's a great athlete and probably the best cover LB in the country.. but he doesnt eat up the run like you would want your MLB to do, and he doesnt shed blockers like you absolutely have to do at that position..

Not enough "sticks" at the LOS or TFLs for me to include James in the category with the best OSU LBs of all time...

I would like to see James flow to the ball better, refuse to get tangled with FBs and Olinemen, and would love to see him hit a man in a hole and not have the guy fall forward 2 yards.. Most his tackles in the NC were 3-5 yards downfield, with Hester falling forward an extra yard or two..

I want my OSU LBs to hit a RB in the mouth and stop his progress.. not hit the man, get knocked back and then wrap up his legs for the tackle as he falls forward for additional yardage..

I know James is predicted in these mocks to go Top 10.. but I really feel he could benefit from another year in college
