This is great news… he’s good other than the 1 pass interference per game. With him and Matthews we can now work Sanchez in slowly or maybe Sanchez can work as the nickle?

Even if they don’t work in Sanchez, Scott is also Very talented and played some this season. Theres also Lorenzo Styles too. This CB room is freaking stacked !

I think it will be a rotation of Igbinosun and Matthews with a heavy dose of Scott on the perimeter (especially early in the year as Sanchez works his way in) with West and Styles rotating at nickel.

It probably depends on his draft grade. Ohio State would need to shell out comparable money to whatever draft grade he is getting, and then they’d have to throw Matthews starter (and probably next first round draft pick) money on top of it.

It’s also a matter of prioritization and strategic allocation of resources.

With Scott, West, Styles and Sanchez sitting there behind Matthews, is it a good investment to bring Igbinosun back (especially if he’s getting a 1st or 2nd round grade) or should you be looking more at positions of need?

As much as it sucks, I think there’s similar factors at play with Tate. If other teams are throwing stupid money at him and he wants it to be matched, I’m cool with rolling with Smith, Innis, Graham, Rodgers, Witten and the incoming freshmen at WR for the same reasons (and it’s entirely possible that’s not what Tate does and he sticks around).

Add constrained optimization to the bonified occupational qualifications for coaching college in this day and age.

Pretty much eye to eye with you. I will be interesting to see how it’s going to play out.

I think getting a 1.5-2 deep rotation is critical for the longer season. We saw it at CB, DT, DE, RB, OG, and a little WR and LB this year. Safety and OT was really the only spots that we didn’t rotate when the game was on the line. QB never is.

So find your 3 and rotate them in the important minutes then get 1 more in once games are in hand.

IGB: 70%
Matthew’s: 70%
Scott: 40%
Next man up: 20%

Sprinkle in a few snaps for third stringers when playing teams like Tennessee.

Was going to post this even before the returning news.

I thought he actually had a really quiet (good) playoffs besides the ND game. The physicality is special, great tackler. But yeah, he needs to clean up the final technique and grabbing.

It’s a wonder some OC wasn’t able to draw 4-5 PIs/game. I’m positive they could have.

I’m glad he’s back. Talent is good.

Maybe even a little more from next man up (presumably Sanchez by the end of the year), because it seems very likely to me that the top two are both going pro after the 2025 season (obviously one of them for sure).
