2016 Defensive Line

[matcar]

I'm not one of those around here who seem to think it will.

I know you're not, just using your message as a launching point. Bosa certainly looks fantastic, but coming off injury and the way the DE's were playing, it's a long reach to think he's taking Hubbard off the field.

What about Jashon Cornell? He was a pretty highly rated/recruited guy in the last class. Are they keeping him at DE or grooming him into a DT?

They'll be more than fine at the 3 tech and will have a mix of athletic dts and combo guys (jones, maybe Bosa)

It's the 1 tech spot that has always been the concern.

The early reports were that he lost some weight and was staying at DE. I haven't heard anything since fall though.

I continue to hear good things about Landers. Sounds like he can be a Michael Bennett type of player for us.

More of the same. Starters: Hubbard and Lewis with Bosa getting significant PT and unknowns fighting for spots between Holmes, Slade and Cooper

Ohio State (91.8) ranks 6th, behind Alabama (93.4), Utah (93.3), Florida State (93.0), Michigan (92.9), and Michigan State (92.5).

Some kind of guess?

I'm hoping that this truly is the year that we can rotate up to 12 players across the D line with little to no drop off. This will be very important against the spread teams trying to wear the defense down

You couple what Johnson said and Urban stating the d line has momentum right now and I'm so pumped for this year.

I really hope we finally rotate guys on a regular basis. There's too much speed and depth to not and while some may stand out more then others it'll pay off big late in games if we can do that.

We have a tendency to wear teams down when on offense so why not when on defense too?
