DE Robert Rose (Official Thread)

[VprHis]

If he gets much bigger, he'll BE both outside and inside. We'll just put 3 DL on the side opposite him to make up the difference :)

Steve Helwagen is reporting that Heacock said today Rose is up to 285 pounds! That's +25 from the roster listing!

Thats unbelievable!

From JT's presser today:

ozone

Defensive end Robert Rose is up to 285 pounds, but will most likely stay at defensive end and will not be looked at seriously as an inside player.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

285 with his speed and quickness...he's going to be seriously messing someone up this season.

285 with his speed and quickness...he's going to be seriously messing someone up this season.

Preferably Mike Hart, Chad Henne, and the rest of the crew.

Its going to be awful tough to keep him off the field thats all I know... I think we'll be seeing a lot of him on 3rd downs I bet. Our Pass Rush should be better off the edges this year. Anyone else pumped about Worthington in the middle? When I see 6'7" 280 pounds I'm thinkin of the tackles from the Jacksonville Jaguars! Gosh I'm glad spring ball is finally here now we can finally move on!! GO BUCKS

285 - Holy crap!
Just make sure that when you hit the QB that you land on him, Rob.
We will have three of the best DEs in the country, maybe for the next two years.

I miss the way Darrion Scott would land on top of players and punish them!
Alas, the Big Ten wants to protect the QB and doesn't like this kind of thing!

 

[NFBuck]

Imagine lining up under center and seeing Rose and Big Vern snarling at you...

Great memory- Scott de-cleating Gesser

Scott seperates Gino Guidugli from the ball and nearly from the ranks of the living

 

[Taosman]

That is just....so...beautiful!

Not for Jason. Really looking forward to seeing Rose on a regular basis this year.

 

[Cornerback6]

To say that I (and I think most of us dedicated Buckeye fans) expect great things out of him next season is being modest. I wouldn't be surprised if he cracks the starting lineup by the season's end. Even though he has great talent ahead of him (and I don't see him passing Vern), I can still see Heacock and JT finding a starting spot for him on the line somewhere.

Our DE's are going to wreak havoc this year.
