DE Nick Bosa (Pro Bowl, All Pro, 2019 ROY, 2022 DPOY, San Francisco 49ers)

[Steve19]

I just loved watching him beat down four players on the one sack. Beast.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Through their first 17 games:

Joey: 17.5 TFL, 9.0 sacks
Nick: 14.0 TFL, 8.0 sacks

The sequel has a little catching up to do, but he certainly has the talent to get there.

Yeah well if he plays like I thought he he did after UNLV scored he will destroy some folks.

what they said

be interested to see the difference in number of snaps at this point in their careers and then look at how similar the production is

my guess is that Nick has done more on a per snap basis

That's exactly where my thoughts went. The Eleven Warriors snap count analysis might be my favorite thing anyone puts out from the media, wish it would be refreshed historically too.

Might be our best player on the team right now.

 

[Thump]

If you shut your eyes, he and Joey sound identical.

I'm pretty sure the snap count difference is pretty significant...

What were you doing with them?

He's gotten better each game and is quickly becoming one of the best DLs in the country. Excited to see him work against PSUs OL.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

The kid is going to unreal by the end of the season, and absolutely unstoppable next season. Enjoy his next 20-24 games in a Buckeye uniform while you can...

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Waiting for a third down for him to be on the field drives me nuts. I guess it's a good thing though.

Nick Bosa Emerging as Ohio State’s Best Player

Nick Bosa came to Ohio State with more expectations than any other player on the Buckeye roster. After 19 career games, he is also living up to his expectations as well as anybody on the roster as well.

Last season as a true freshman, Bosa immediately worked his way into a four-man rotation with Tyquan Lewis, Sam Hubbard, and Jalyn Holmes. He finished second on the team with 5.0 sacks and sixth with 7.0 tackles for loss.

This season, however, he is leading the Big Ten with 10 tackles for loss and is fifth in the conference with 4.0 sacks.

This is despite splitting time with three — and sometimes four or five — other defensive ends.

“He’s playing very well,” said defensive coordinator Greg Schiano. “I think our expectation level is very high for him. Number one, he’s an incredible athlete in his own right. And number two, he’s following his brother, who was an incredible player. So I think the expectation level was high and I think he’s fulfilling them.”

I believe I stated this before the year.

 

[MSURacerDT55]

Might be our best player on the team right now.

He may be the best in the country regardless of classification, there has to be some advanced stats to show impact/production per snap, his has to be one of the highest in the country.

 

[DaBuckeyes]

I love the rotation and keeping players fresh since they're so deep at DL but this man needs to be on the field for as many snaps as he can handle.
