Ohio State football DBs eager to prove themselves this season
Monday, August 13, 2007Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Columbus- After a week of practice, Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Heacock has labeled his defense "noisy" compared to his 2006 group, and sophomore starting free safety Kurt Coleman is certainly part of that chatter.
"They seem to have more personality, and they may be a little more talkative," Heacock said.
Is that a good thing?
"I don't know," Heacock said. "[It is] if they can back it up."
Coleman has played his part so far. There were only two changes from the defensive depth chart in the spring to the fall media guide. Both were at safety, where injured strong safety Anderson Russell rightfully reclaimed his starting job after recovering from knee sur gery and where Coleman by passed junior free safety Ja mario O'Neal.

A junior and three sophomores starting at DB. Talented, athletic, young, and fast. I love it.
IF Jenkins comes back next year (which I would think would be doubtful), we will have arguably the best defensive backfield in the nation. If he leaves, we are cultivating some excellent depth behind Washington at corner.
Much like Fox, I think Coleman's natural position is Safety and I'm excited to see if he can beat Jenkins this year in interceptions and Pick-6's.

I agree but am also excited by the overall youth and talent we have all over the team. I can see some badass butt kicking teams coming up. |
