Boy this kid is going to tear it up this year! I think he is really going to move up in the draft! The way he hits guys kinda reminds me of the way ole #36 used to fold up guys!

Didn't see this posted anywhere. Ken Gordon, on his Twitter account quoted Coach Haynes as saying that Tyler may not be on the field as much this week because of the scheme change against Miami. Unfortunate, but I am sure he will make the most of his time on the field.

I hear that Miami's tight ends like to drag across the field and crack block the defensive end while the quarterback is rolling to the other side, I really hope Tyler watches out for that when he's in the game. :rofl:

And just in case anyone is out of the loop...

te is split a lot...he will crack the end as they roll to his side then continue to drag underneath.....we tend to use the roll out in a play action which helps draw the de's inside

This sort of baffles me. Not one to question the coaches and I trust their ability to create a gameplan, but this one has me scratching my head.

I think Moeller would fit perfectly into a gameplan trying to stop the Harris and the Miami offense. He's a great blitzer and a perfect fit for a hybrid LB/S that can cover a lot of the field.

Smokescreen? Or am I not seeing something?

Maybe it's just a little Jim Tressel trickeration. :sneaky:

Agreed. Can't see why you would take out a playmaker who's probably the fastest LB (not exactly accurate I know, but still), who is a sure tackler, a big hitting intimidator, who blitzes as well as anyone I have seen in scarlet and gray in a long time. With Harris' lack of pocket presence, to quote Todd McShay and others, his blitzing ability alone would seem to make him invaluable to the gameplan.

As you mentioned though, in Tressel we Trust, so I have no doubt that he will use the human wrecking ball as best as possible.

OSU notebook: Moeller might not play much, despite fine start
Friday, September 10, 2010
By Ken Gordon
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

How can the University of Miami keep the Big Ten's defensive player of the week off the field Saturday?

Play its normal offense.

Ohio State safeties coach Paul Haynes said that if the Buckeyes are in a standard "base" defense, free safety Jermale Hines and strong safety C.J. Barnett would be on the field and Tyler Moeller, as the nickel back, would not.

Last week, Marshall played predominantly with three receivers, so Ohio State was mostly in the nickel. Moeller had seven tackles, including a sack and forced fumble, on the way to winning the conference honor.

Miami, though, spends a lot of time in a conventional two-receiver, two-running back set. Haynes said the Buckeyes would not jump through hoops to get Moeller on the field more often.

"It's kind of tough," Haynes said of who plays and how much. "It goes week to week and just based off of what we see. Our linebacking corps is good, too."

It also means potentially a much tougher test for Barnett, a sophomore making his second career start.

The Buckeyes don't appear worried.

"He's a playmaker," linebacker Ross Homan said of Barnett. "He's smart, knows what he's doing. He's a very competitive person, which you like to see out there. He's going to do a great job for us."

I think scheme change is s strong word for it. I don't think Heacock is cooking up a brand new defense for 1 game. If Miami doesn't try to spread us out we will be in our base 4-3 with Sweat in the game instead of Moeller.

It really depends on Miami as to how much Moeller plays.

I wonder if the coaches are toying around with him putting Tyler on the field full time at Sweat's spot and giving Cristian Bryant some time at the Star position. Not that Sweat has played poorly but Tyler is a special player.

It is hard to see one of the best tacklers and play-makers being utilized on situational basis.

Also, after watching Bryant's performance in pass coverage in the All Star game against the countries best wide outs and hearing comparison to Antonio Winfield as far as his physical game....maybe these next couple of game we may see this scenario.


Just some thoughts!

If Bryant was playing the Star he would be coming in for Moeller. With all the teams running the spread the Star position might see more time on the field then the Sam does

though you maybe onto something. our two biggest games left (save michbutt) is iowa and wisconsin. i doubt the star gets too much action except for 3rd downs against them. would love to find a way to get him on the field more in those games

Yeah this is true, I mean as long as he understands any differences in assignments there is no reason he can't play both essentially. Ultimately it's just a formation and the purpose of the star is to have that middle ground between the linebacker in the 4-3 and the Nickelback in the normal nickel formations. You can pretty much expand his role as much as his ability allows, although it's probably not a bad idea to have a little bit bigger of a body in there in certain situations.
