Unfortunately if that hit occurred today, he'd probably be flagged for "targeting".

HOW CHRIS ASH WILL GO ABOUT TEACHING PRESS COVERAGE TO HIS CORNERS

Last week we discussed whynew Ohio State Defensive Coordinator Chris Ash likes putting his corners in press coverage. Today we look at howAsh trains his defensive backs to play up tight.

GETTING READY TO MOVE
Ash aligns his corners 1-2 yards from the receiver. The corner takes an inside or outside stance – depending where his secondary help is located. The corner gets in an athletic stance. Feet shoulder-width apart, knees flexed and hands up and ready to use.

Ash keys his defenders to watch the receiver's leverage-side hip. The corners are drilled to find a spot and keep their focus on it, as the "key never lies." Problems arise when the corner loses focus or gets sucked in watching the action.

FOOTWORK IS KEY
After the snap Ash's focus is upon the corner's footwork. Ash stresses the corner cannot lunge at the receiver. Instead, they must be patient and stay square.

Ash wants the corner to force the receiver to release around them. The corner's goal is to keep the receiver in front using quick six inch lateral steps. Ash's biggest coaching point is for the corner to never cross over their feet. The first drill he works on is a mirror drill, where the corner moves laterally mirroring the wide receiver.

Ohio State football: Co-defensive coordinator Chris Ash getting married today

Before Chris Ashdecided to move from Arkansas to join the Ohio State defensive coaching staff in January, he already had made another monumental decision. He had proposed toDoreen Buttery, and she had accepted.

“We’ve known each other for six years or so, and the time was right,” Ash said.

Today, they will be married in her hometown of San Diego.

The father of two — son Tanner, 12, and daughter Jacey, 10 — from a previous marriage, Ash, 40, is taking one of his few sabbaticals before diving back into his job as co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach for the Buckeyes. He was hired by Urban Meyer to team with coordinator Luke Fickell to bring aggressiveness back to a defense that was torched by the pass in 2013.

So what made Ash more nervous: getting married or pondering what’s to come in the 2014 season?

“Probably more so about this than calling a third-down defense,” Ash said. “But other than that, no, it’s good. It’s all easy.”

From the ozone.net:

http://theozone.net/Ohio-State/All-...yer-Updates-from-the-Ohio-State-Navy-Postgame

It is good to know that someone knows how Navy piled up yardage. Answer accepted. Time to move on to VTech because "nothing from this game translates to anything they will do the rest of the year, other than effort and dealing with adversity". My only take away ... if I ever get a chance, I will fire Gene Smith for wasting significant portions of Fall camp on preparing for the weird Navy team.


Chris Ash Updates
+ Ash said nothing from this game translates to anything they will do the rest of the year, other than effort and dealing with adversity.

+ Ash said Navy had some run plays from formations that they had never seen before. They adjusted, but they couldn't get it stopped cold.

+ The fundamentals were fine and Ash said he saw some really good tackling. The problem with Navy is that they always have answers for everything you do. Especially as the game goes on, because they pay attention to how a defense attacks them. He said OSU tackled well, but Navy schemed them well.

+ Ash: "A win's a win. I'm not going to apologize for the way our guys played in getting a victory. It was a hard-fought game."

+ Ash said it wasn't pretty, but they got stops when they needed to.

+ Ash said he would like to see Vonn Bell and Cam Burrows continue to rotate. "I'm good with that." But he also added that he would be okay with one jumping out ahead of the other.

+ Ash said Navy's offensive success had nothing to do with OSU's youth and everything to do with what Navy was doing. Great technique, fundamentals and scheming. He said every team pulls out 4 or 5 plays that you have never seen on film, and your job is to adjust and survive those. He said there was a play in the second half that they kept hitting the Buckeyes on and they tried to adjust, but just couldn't execute the play.

+ Ash said having both walk-out linebackers on the field at the same time was about getting more speed on the field for Navy's option game.

- Thinks getting Noah Spence back will be tremendous. Has been in all d-line meetings & has been working on scout team. Saw strides in spring & camp. Excited to see him.
- Saturday night was lack of execution, not personnel
- VT 3rd down conversions were result of lack of execution. Our mistakes vs. what VT did well.
- Effort isn’t an issue or calls, just made mistakes.
- Still a new defense, focused on Navy in first couple weeks, took a few days to get back in flow of things. Need reps, discouraged about game, but still have a chance to be outstanding. Played some excellent snaps, just not for 4qtrs
- Execution vs. personnel, lost the edge in blitz plays which cost them.
- A lot of unknowns going in to game. VT's offense vs. William & Mary was different from last season and Saturday night was different from that.
- Recaps the 3rd & long that Apple gave up. Was too soft & went beyond the sticks. First year player playing his 2nd game.
- Not about 1 game deal with recruiting. Recruits had great time with environment. More about program & body of work. Sell the same thing win or loss.
- Going to be fine going forward. Players see their mistakes & have a better understanding now.

I was very happy with the first and second down D. I seem to remember reading something about Ash's D at Wisky how they were really aggressive on 1st and 2nd downs then backed off on 3rd. That's kind of what I saw in this game. Also VT hit us with the perfect plays when we blitzed. Sucks but it happens. All in all it was a perfect storm of bad Special Teams, bad third down play, inexperienced OL, and lack of offensive adjustments.

You can overcome one maybe two of those things, but not all of them. We will grow, and we will get better!
