Game Thread Ohio State vs Oklahoma, 09/09/17 @ 7:30 ET (ABC)

I've been quite critical of Coombs ever since he came on, and I am no longer afraid to voice this opinion since I won't get roasted for it now. Fact is, DB is one of those positions where athletic ability > technique when it comes to evaluating prospects. I've read several NFL articles where coaches state they essentially have to retrain our DBs when they get to the league. The one I am remembering in particular was about Roby. We recruit incredible athletes, it is not a huge surprise they make it to the league. The coaching... I am less sold on.

The idea is that if the ball is caught you can immediately make the tackle. If the DB plays the ball he's in better position if it's close, but runs the risk of losing the WR if its overthrown and the WR sinks. That's a TD every time.

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Agree with you on the talent disparity right now though. Back seven is as bad as it was in 2012 right now.
