2024 tOSU Defense Discussion

[Mike80]

Maybe I’m in this group that I’m about to blast but here goes.

I am getting so annoyed with many of our fans (Zach Boren is the king of this movement) lack of consistency. We hear how we need to be more creative, we need to get after the QB, and need to blitz more one week. Then this week they bitch about all the blitzing and how we need to get home with just the front. Then we complain how we substitute too much a few years ago and now we bitch because we don’t sub enough. Damn just gets old…

Pick a preference and stick to it.

People are consistently inconsistent. It's fun to point that out to them when they are, too.

There have been more than a few times they've blitzed this year with 5-6 and not generated much or enough pressure.

They went all out with pressure, against a wide eyed true freshman, and it worked better. Sometimes that was because of the aggression, sometimes that was because he's too inconsistent to throw a basic hot read.

I thought we actually stopped being as aggressive in the second half. First half I saw a ton of different looks up front too but that seems to go away as the game went on.

Do you always feel this way?

 

[Thump]

Do you always feel this way?

It's 50/50.

 

[Mike80]

Do you always feel this way?

Never, but only when I do.

The cool (probably not the right word) thing about that corn game is it threw all expectations out of the window. No fan expects perfection anymore.

The Corn game got the HC attention.

Just sayin': You gotta love the players celebrating with the fans after the game.
