SKULL SESSION: NICK BOSA'S EFFORT, ISAIAH PRINCE'S NFL HOPES, AND CHRIS HOLTMANN'S HOOPS TRANSFER SEARCH
“EVERY DOWN LIKE IT'S HIS LAST.” I remember a few years ago when Jadeveon Clowney was hailed as a football god ahead of his junior season at South Carolina, but really didn't live up to the hype to many because he took plays off – as defensive linemen do sometimes, to be fair.
Nick Bosa had comparable hype heading into his junior season, but the key difference was he only had one speed.
Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle:
Offered (former Rutgers offensive coordinator John) McNulty, who saw Bosa collect one sack and two other tackles behind the line of scrimmage in September: “The talent is one thing, but when it’s matched by the relentless effort on every snap … it’s just very hard to deal with.”
...
(Former Michigan offensive coordinator Tim) Drevno says Bosa, who is 6-foot-4 and 266 pounds, plays “every down like it’s his last.” And McNulty and NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah cited specifics when discussing Bosa’s hair-on-fire approach.
McNulty recalled when Rutgers was in a two-minute drill against Ohio State and he had a tackle block Bosa one-on-one, thinking Bosa would be slowed by the frenetic pace. Instead, the tackle got gassed, Bosa blew past him, and, McNulty recalls, “he just about crushed our quarterback.”
“There’s a lot of guys that are talented in the draft,” McNulty said. “But I don’t know if there’s anyone that plays as hard. Can’t say I’ve watched every guy in the draft, but I just know that there aren’t too many people in football that play that hard on every snap.”
...
“There are a handful of plays where he’s triple-teamed and he’ll crawl to the quarterback — like he just finds a way to get it done,” (NFL.com Draft Analyst Daniel) Jeremiah said. “If you want somebody that can win early with speed, he can overpower you. He’s outstanding with his hands. The effort is off the charts."
I don't think we properly appreciate how absurdly unblockable Bosa was through his first 2.5 games. He had 14 tackles, six tackles for loss and four sacks. Those are season numbers for some pass rushers.
If you extrapolate his sack numbers based on the pace with which he opened the season, he'd own the Ohio State single-season sack record before the end of the ninth game of the season.
I might never get over how insane his numbers could have been opposite of Chase Young.
