2010 tOSU Defensive Backs, or Secondary, Discussion

[BB73]

The most uncertainty on this team is probably at the safety position.

 

[Civic06]

I've picked 2 other guys who didn't contribute in 2009 in the DLine and Linebacker thread and will do the same here.

Corey Brown will turn into a shut down corner. I don't know how he will squeeze in for PT but I think he will. Maybe Torrence will move to safety?

Who's going to play the "Star" position?

Who's going to play the "Star" position?

I'm unsure on his health, but under the assumption that he is fully recovered, Tyler Moeller has to be the favorite.

Will be nice to add his experience to the defensive backfield.

Chekwa
Torrence
Hines
Ohrian Johnson (biggest uncertainty, as mentioned)
(Star) Moeller (could go to safety as well)

Someone a few days ago reported that Corey Brown is being moved to WR.

sounds like that's the consensus opinion on the starters in the defensive backfield. Howard, a r-sophomore, could see some time as the third CB.

so much young talent, but keep an eye on zack domicone at safety

 

[pnuts34]

What about using Hines back at the Star and one of the young bucks like: Oliver, Wood or Barnett at the other S position. And using Moeller and Rolle as the LBs during obvious passing downs. That's a lot of speed on the field for us, don't know how realistic this scenario could be. But it sounds good in theory, any thoughts?

 

[jwinslow]

Then you have two brand new guys as the back line of your defense. I'm not sure that's an ideal scenario, particularly when you have a number of guys who could play the star, including Moeller.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Assuming the D-Line is as good as I anticipate it will be in '10 there's probably some room to experiment with personnel options.

 

[NightmaresDad]

If you have a chance to put both Hines and Moeller on the field at the same time, you absolutely have to do that.

Hines seems ideal to me as a SS, and Moeller at the Star.

Put one of the young ball hawks at FS, like O Johnson or Barnett.

One thing's for sure - we will be VERY athletic in the back seven.

By the end of next season, Torrence will be our highest rated CB.

Look for Ebner to get more PT. Another Dustin Fox.

I love this kid's attitude about the game. I hope he has the skills to step up in the defensive backfield in the future.

So he will play cornerback but everyone will call for him to play safety?
