CB Eli Apple (All B1G, National Champion, Los Angeles Chargers)

I just think constructive criticism is better than

Maybe you should look up the definition of "constructive criticism"?

I dont trust any of our dbs because they are coached wrong.

Hint: This ain't it.

Some aren't giving Hack enough credit. He's good for making a couple NFL throws a game against anybody. (but he's also prone to a couple bad interceptions a game also)

Dude just keeps getting better.

Dude just keeps getting better.

That's what I thought too. He is playing so well. I know there were a couple plays against PSU that some folks didn't like but I actually thought he had a fantastic game against them as well. He is sticking close to his man and is making plays.

Yup. He still needs to improve in pass coverage on the deep ball, but Eli is a tremendous tackler from the CB position and fits right into OSU's conerback tradition in that respect.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

Was very impressed when Spielman said him and McShay both agreed Apple will be a ROUND ONE pick

 

[RB07OSU]

Kid is playing his tail off...physical against the run and always in the hip pocket of the receiver. Stud. I am glad he is on our side and I give Jim Tressel a high five.

For those that missed the Football Fever pregame on ABC6, Clay and Obie had a great interview with Eli's mother Annie.

He may get an opportunity to show his tackling ability if we play Wiscy.

I'm cringing so hard at some of those questions they asked him.

"WHY CAN'T RUTGERS RECRUIT GOOD??"
"HEY DID YOU HEAR THEIR QB IS A MALE MODEL? ARE YOU GOING TO QUESTION HIS SEXUALITY ON THE FIELD???"

Eli handled all of those questions with integrity and grace.

Peculiar interview. Lori Schmidt has never sounded stupid to me ... until this groaner.

One play really made me think Apple is coming of age in this game. Gordon got outside and don't know if apple got off his block clean but he was in the open field one on one with Gordon. Probably giving up 30 lbs, he stuck him right there in space on probably the best tackle I've seen all year. Wish I had a GIF of it. I think I just said wow after watching it.

He had the same play against Langford to slam the door on any chance of Michigan St gaining momentum in East Lansing too.

He's been making more and more plays like that. Winfieldesque
