It's so funny that people would pay for that.

EVERYTHING said in there is a. speculation, b. completely public knowledge by BP and Twitter.

Bucknuts is really looking desperate right now.

As far as Hankins, I think it's awesome he's already such a force but does no one remember Larimore? It's not like we don't already have an anchor in the middle.

Larimore is a known that everyone has come to expect great things out of. I don't think anyone raving about Hankins is claiming that he should start over Larimore. Hankins was just such a big unknown coming in and it's good to hear that he might actually be able to add some depth to the rotation this year.

Maybe I missed some over the top comments or you're reading different things than me though...

Nothing over the top. I've just read comments, on other boards too, that insinuate we don't have a monster run stuffer already at DT. Maybe I'm just projecting though. I do think Larimore is highly underrated overall. He was an immovable force before he got hurt. I see Hankins as a bonus more than a necessity.

You mention how Larimore got hurt next year which brings up two thoughts in my head. One: How fucking sick could that D line last year have been down the stretch with Big Dex healthy? He played hurt all season after Indiana. He's going to be a force this year for sure!
Two: Other than Dex, we really don't have a huge run stuffer which is why I'm glad we have another one apparently in Big Hank to back up Dex in case of injury and just flat out fatigue. I wonder if they would ever consider putting them both in there in a goal line type of sitaution. Haha now that would be some shit.

Oh definitely. I would vBet a lot on that. If Hank keeps going like he has started, we'll see the pair of them on either side of the center, in short yardage situations, by mid-season.

It's the idea that we can just rotate disruptive interior defensive linemen that has me excited. Having a good starting d-line is a blessing, having backups who can hold their own is what wins championships.

Practice nuggets from Indiana, Ohio State - Big Ten Blog - ESPN

OHIO STATE

DiNardo brought up a good point about the need for Ohio State to have a dominant running back again, and how it will keep defenses guessing against quarterback Terrelle Pryor.

Pryor definitely seemed different to me, both in his interview with the BTN crew and in the practice. He showed patience and footwork under pressure and fired a good pass to Dane Sanzenbacher in team drills. I also liked the way he yanked defensive lineman Garrett Goebel off the pile to help running back Dan Herron get out. Pryor seemed to be running hard during conditioning and talked about his new attitude toward meetings as he hopes to increase his leadership.

Pryor had one big mistake, though, as safety Jermale Hines stepped in front of a pass to Jake Stoneburner and made the interception. Just a perfect read by Hines.

Cameron Heyward just looks bigger than everyone else on the field (probably because he is). I particularly enjoyed watching Heyward go against All-Big Ten guard Justin Boren. Two All-America candidates right there. Everyone keeps calling Heyward a defensive end, but I saw him lining up inside several times during the practice. I'll keep going with the very vague "defensive lineman."

The running backs and linebackers went against each other during a goal-line drill, and both sides had their moments. Herron absolutely trucked Dan Bain on one play, living up to his "Boom" nickname. Jaamal Berry scooted by his man, while Scott McVey made a nice stop against Carlos Hyde, who boasts good size and had mixed results in the drill.
Running back Jordan Hall had some nice moments, including a burst up the middle in team drills.

Some of the reserve wide receivers stood out. Sophomore James Jackson made a nice catch along the sideline, and senior Grant Schwartz showed the ability to create vertical separation.

Defensive end Nathan Williams, currently sidelined with a knee injury, was in a stand-up position on one play, while the other three first-team linemen -- Heyward, John Simon and Dexter Larimore -- were down in a stance. You figure Ohio State will use Williams like it did Thaddeus Gibson in 2009.

Berry had a good blitz pickup on one play, nearly leading to a big completion from Joe Bauserman to Taurian Washington.

Linebackers Andrew Sweat and Dorian Bell showed good hitting and tackling skills.

Cheeez! If those guys did any research at all they would know that the run game problems last year were the result of injuries and illness that concentrated on the offensive line. The Purdue game was the result.
But, no. They say the offensive line was just bad last year. :roll1:
