DT Adolphus "Diesel" Washington (Official Thread)

Maybe on passing downs but Hale does alot of the dirty work (ala Goebel last year) and takes on double teams to free up others. I think the coaches likely feel they already have an impact player in Bennett at DT and they would rather have Diesel making plays on the edge rather than taking on double teams and plugging gaps.

Not to mention I love rotating Washington, Bosa, and Miller (with Spence staying in) at DE and the Bennett, Hale, Carter, Hill, and Farris at DT.

Re: Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said after practice today backup DL Tommy Schutt should be able to return by midseason (broken bone in foot).

Just sayin': The DL will be even deeper when Tommy Schutt returns.

Not to detract from Adolphus, but do you think it's 100% Schutt returns this year? Or depends on the scenario? ie if we're undefeated he definitely doesn't get redshirted, if we have one loss he might be, 2+ he would be.... Or no matter what, when he's healthy he's playing.

I'll have to go with that, maybe. Two obvious things are at play here. Urban certainly want a fully functional 2 deep bad ass D line, Mike Vrabel can coach the hell out of kids. If Tommy is in fact one of the best 2 at his position...he plays.

Get well soon Diesel!!!!! We need you back to reign over the BIG tackles!!!!
