DC Matt Patricia (Official Thread)

Just wanted to point out through our first (6) games this season we have 18 sacks.

Last year through (6) games we had (13) sacks.

Thats a 38% improvement. In fairness, Patricia is able to utilize the blueprint found down the stretch last year, which was using Downs as a hybrid LB to get him close to LOS. He likely would’ve figured it out anyways…

That said, they’re doing an incredible job.

Will continue to update…

Through (7) games in 2025, OSU has (21 sacks).

In 2024, through the first (7) games they had (15) sacks.

Thats a 40% increase over 2024 in which we had studs across the defensive line.

Just an amazing defensive season thus far.
I’ve always been more a fan of the O than the D… in football as well as in my own sport, I was primarily on O.

That said, I’ve never in my life enjoyed watching a defense as much as I have this year. Wowza. I’m sure that someone here has said it, sorry for not giving specific credit, but when you have better players you can run a pretty ‘basic’ (that’s the word used, wasn’t it?) defense and still win a LOT of games. We’re seeing what talent combined with higher level schemes can do. It’s real and it’s spectacular.
