More disruption and plays in the backfield. Honestly, I was expecting a rather dominant performance given the fact the DT's were at "full strength" and the Oline was FAR from it. |

Maybe that was due to the defenses they were allowed to play. IIRC on 1st and 2nd down, they were restricted to base D, then on 3rd was all out blitzes if they wanted. Ill wait to pass judgement until a couple games into the season, when we see the benefits of stunts, and blitz packages.

I agree for the most part. They didn't exactly be put in a position to "shine." I wasn't trying to pass judgement, at least too harshly, which is why I added the remark about them having time to work it out.
They were my biggest question mark going into the season. Because of that, they are put under a finer microscope with me. |

Besides Linebacker James Laurinaitis and cornerback Malcolm Jenkins, who are some more Ohio State Defensive players I should keep tabs on?

Whole damn D tbh.
Donald Washington, Cameron Heyward, Marcus Freeman, Kurt Coleman.
One of the best, if not the best defensive backfields in the nation.

Freeman, Coleman, Russel, Wilson, Heyward...more, more, more besides unity and unmeasurables I don't believe there are many holes in the D even if we lose some players due do disciplinary issues(D-Wash, Jam-O, Clifford?.) |

Cameron Heyward, made #1 overall draft pick Jake Long his bitch as a true freshman on several plays last year.
2:40 into this video is one example, #97 coming off the right edge
Marcus Freeman is another one. Probably one of the most underrated linebackers (if not players period) in the Big Ten due to being overshadowed by Laurinaitis. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he were a first day draft pick next year.
