FB Dionte' Johnson (Official Thread)

[CharlotteBuck-I]

nice to see players on the team fired up about playing smashmouth football, and even better that it is coming from a freshman.

White was banged up last week but he has not done much anyway. The FB play this year has been horrid

but we have the best fullbacks in the nation in EA NCAA2005 for xbox/ps2.

rather obviously you don't know what you are talking about despite all the posts.

where is that damned sarcasm font when you need her anyway?

I'll agree Joe's injury is a big point...but Schnittker has been putrid.

The understatement of the day is saying Schnittker has been putrid. His ability to miss blocks is truly astounding. As for Joe, he doesn't seem to want to really be the type of FB OSU relies on; it seems that he fancies himself as more of a RB.

Watching Pepper's boy Saturday was the one big positive I took from the game. None of the other stuff (perfromance of Pittman, Smith, etc.) means much because Indiana flat out stinks. However, Dionte's desire to be on the field and hit someone hard was palatable, even on a TV screen.

I thought the seniors put a moratorium on underclassmen talking to the media? good or bad

I think the power the seniors assumed went out the door when Lydell was contemplating the loss at Iowa at the strip club...

I think it's interviews the week prior to a game...underclassmen might be allowed to talk to reporters once the game has been playes, and only about that game.

For whatever reason Dionte Johnson got playing time this weekend, it was a blessing in disguise. He is the first Fullback this year that I have seen who actually knocked a few heads and sustained his lead blocks. Although I did see him hit someone and get blown up once, he still hit the guy hard. Thats a BIG improvement at that position in my book!!

Palatable. Excellent choice of words. I can almost taste it.

 

[bucknut11]

I think I read that White, Jr had some injury issues also.

White wasn't even dressed for the game. He was in street clothes

VG, to turn on the [sarcasm] sarcasm [/sarcasm] font, do this (using brackets instead) ... { sarcasm } sarcastic saying {/ sarcasm}

Mr. Tatum would nod his head about this kid.

He would of liked that hit by Salley too. Good hitting all around and Tatum would be proud of them both.

Johnson and Joe

I would love to see Johnson blocking for Joe on short yardage situations or even split w/ 3 wide. They could really pound on a defense.

I totally agree that would be a very hard formation to stop... anytime when you can pound a team up the middle with them in a nickle type of formation is huge. I think we should give it a whirl sometime.
