That's why I think he'll be AJ Hawk-esque here. Hawk knew how to blitz better than anyone I've ever seen(he could also read the run and drop in coverage just as well. Best Damn linebackers in Ohio State history IMO).
JL and Freeman are great in their own ways(some of the time), but they're just not that type of linebacker. They don't have that knack for rushing the quarterback effectively. It seems when we blitz either of them(especially JL), that they can't get off or avoid blockers. Hawk could do those things, and I think Bell will be able to do them too.
