CB Bradley Roby (2x All B1G)

[Buckskin86]

Based on reps, it seems that Bradley Roby is in the lead to be the other cornerback opposite Travis Howard.

Sweetness. Roby is going to be a beast out there!

Two lock down corners? That would make this defense totally sick!

Are you kidding me? Howard and Roby weren't even 5* recruits which obviously means they cannot be considered as "lockdown" corners....

My bad. I should've used the sarcasm font. I honestly just appreciate how tOSU develops CBs. New starting CBs and LBs at tOSU never need a question mark.

Ohio State has been so spoiled with cornerbacks that we seem to believe that all of their corners are worthy of the appellation "lockdown".

To me; Shawn Springs and Antoine Winfield were lockdown corners. Very few since have deserved that title.

This is pretty truthy. Malcolm Jenkins was known to lock people down...I'd say he's the closest since Winfield. The term lockdown corner gets thrown out WAY too much. Some teams have a lockdown corner, no teams have two. No team has one every year. tOSU does not have 3.

When I think of a Buckeye cornerback I don't necessarily think lockdown. I think solid coverage downfield, limited big plays and the ability to put a tailback on his ass in the open field with near 100% certainty.

Except for the use of the word truthy, I agree completey.

Chris Gamble certainly qualified. He, Winfield, Doug Plank, Mike Sensibaugh and Jack Tatum were the best DBs I have ever seen in Buckeye uniform. (Subjective, I acknowledge.)

Might I add Shawn Springs to that list as well.

I liked the play of Nate Clements a lot. Just saying.

Same here. He doesn't get as much credit as he deserves because a lot of people can't get over him getting abused by Minnesota (Ron Johnson?). He was a very good corner.
