LB Ryan Shazier (All B1G, All-American, 2017 Pro Bowl)

Wow. Just Wow. What a joke. Shazier had more sacks than Mauti had TFL. The numbers arent even close.

Again, Mauti: 95 tackles, 4 TFL; Shazier: 114 tackles, 17 TFL, 5 sacks.

the butthurt from these big 10 coaches is amazing

I'm guessing Ohio State was hurt in Big Ten coaches voting by playing such a weak schedule because the Big Ten is so down.

Shazier being snubbed is utter horseshit. Utter horseshit. There is no excuse for not putting him 1st team and giving him the LB of the year award. He was a beast at the end of the year and playing as well as any LB in the nation.

@11W keep in mind 3/4 of coaches voting to leave shazier off can't recognize talent as evident by their current rosters

Meyer just spoke in his presser this afternoon about finding ways to make his guys angry next year to get the most out of them...I'm thinking he won't have any problem motivating Ryan.

Throw a little preseason hype and a title run in the mix and the sky is the limit for Shazier when it comes to post season hardware.

It will be amazing to see what he can do on the field with another full year of conditioning under Marotti and another full year of learning under Fickell.

I think his killer stat is "opponents tries to run fourth and short at him at end up looking like idiots". Recalling Wiscy and tSUN.

Shazier trails only in interceptions.

True, true, true.

But if you seriously think Shazier is as good a linebacker as Teo, I think I don't want you doing my player evaluations. Shazier is really, really good. Teo is a once-in-a-decade player at the position, IMO. Stats do not tell the entire story.

Once in a decade? I'd say that's a stretch. I can think of 3 or more off the top of my head better from last 5 years alone.

Once in a decade? Are you kidding me? Hes not even the best linebacker this year (Jarvis Jones)
