LB Joshua Perry (National Champion, BTN CFB Analyst)

Re: Penn State middle linebacker Mike Hull, who recorded a game-high 19 tackles

Oddly Hull got all the accolades from the TV announcers last night. I barely remember them even mentioning Perry at all. One was a Penn State alum, but I'm sure there was not bias there at all.

:roll1:
Blackledge was great. I'm sure he loves PSU,but he did and does a great job.

Meanwhile Perry has steadily improved, fun to watch that happen.

Yea the reason why he was not praised as much as Hull probably has more to do with the fact that Hull is one of thee top 2 guys on their defense, top 3 on the entire team. So a major talking point. Perry is very good, but not as much of a talking point due to his relation of his teammates. JMO.

Perry's coverage on that last sack was key. It looks like Hack glances left on the snap to see if Perry was coming. Perry bodied up on the TE and jammed him pretty good. Next thing you know, Hack looks right and gets dropped.View attachment 9739

I noticed that too. When you have a DLine like ours, bumping at the line and redirecting a receiver can qualify as a coverage sack.

Is Joshua trying to do too much?
Against Minnesota, many of the big run plays came on his side where he simply left his gap, came across the middle or even all the way on the other side while the running back had huge holes where he was supposed to be. He also, with the other two LBs would come up too fast to the line, and they get caught up or pushed aside.

OFTEN OVERLOOKED ON A DEFENSE FULL OF STARS, JOSHUA PERRY IS VITAL TO OHIO STATE'S SUCCESS

55283_h.jpg,qitok=ZHyUjrJp.pagespeed.ce.6q3QP1pHcI.jpg


Darron Lee is the human highlight reel whose name keeps appearing on preseason All-American lists. Raekwon McMillan is the five-star recruit who has already been dubbed the next great Ohio State linebacker. If you’re looking for star power, Ohio State has two high-profile candidates in its linebacking corps.

But there’s another member of the Buckeyes’ three-man group who often gets overlooked. One who’s not flashy, but led the national champions in tackles last season with 124.

Joshua Perry is set to enter his senior season at Ohio State, where he’ll be starting at one of the outside linebacking spots alongside McMillan and Lee. Together, they make up one of the strongest linebacking corps in all of college football.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...ate-notre-dame-home-to-top-defensive-triplets

1. Ohio State
The triplets: DE Joey Bosa, LB Darron Lee, S Vonn Bell
The skinny: Bosa, a junior who is heading into his third season as a starter, might be the best player in the nation, regardless of position. He is both athletic and powerful, and is a pass-rush force; he also holds up against the run. Lee, a sophomore, is another with a high ceiling. He runs well and packs a wallop. He and senior Joshua Perry are the best linebacker duo in the nation.
