WR Jalin Marshall (Edmonton Elks)

I recall Gonzo being a 4.4 guy who ran very crisp routes in the slot. I don't think Jalin has that kind of speed or the route running abilities.

He has the speed but just needs to develop the route running considering he has played a different position until the last couple years. And that he will. I like the comparison though in terms of what he brings to the table. Could just as well move the chains as he could get the marching band playing. Jalin is just getting started imo...he is going to blow up the college football scene the next year or so.

Jalin was also an option QB for three years in HS and hadn't played WR until college. Considering how well he did in his first full year playing the position I would hold off on saying he won't have the route running ability.

JALIN MARSHALL: FASTEST COP IN AMERICA? Urban Meyer says all Ohio State footballers will complete a "shadowing experience" of "real life" jobs this summer.

I assume the crime rate is about to plummet in Columbus (or wherever Jalin is completing his shadowing) because that's as close as a police department could come to employing The Flash.

Don't forget Wilson too who would probably be a star right now at a lot of schools.

Kind of feel bad for Wilson right now, though he brought the one-game suspension on himself. I still think he's a super talented guy but we are loaded at his position. Hoping he gets some more chances going forward, but I'm also hoping Samuel, Miller, Marshall, Thomas, and Elliott get the ball more so I don't have an answer

FILM STUDY: HOW THE BUCKEYES SET UP JALIN MARSHALL'S 37-YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH

60425_h.jpg,qitok=8bgqm4qM.pagespeed.ce._xMK5Qv4lQ.jpg


Though quarterback Cardale Jones led the Buckeyes down the field for an easy score on their opening possession of Saturday's 38-12 victory over Western Michigan, the offense showed the same inconsistencies that plagued them a week earlier during the team's second drive. As the unit took the field for the third time early in the second quarter, the pressure was on Jones to deliver a drive that would settle an increasingly restless fanbase.

Though the Broncos would often line up defensively with two deep safeties, they had shown a good amount of Cover-1 to that point in the contest. This meant man-to-man coverage with only the free safety playing in a deep zone in the middle of the field.

After a direct snap to Braxton Miller resulted in no gain on first down, co-offensive coordinators Tim Beck and Ed Warinner would begin to directly test this solo coverage. With two receivers and a tight end to the left, the duo called for 'H' receiver Curtis Samuel to come in short motion toward the middle of the field (called 'In' motion in the Urban Meyer playbook) on second down.

The motion and alignment were called for very specific reasons. First, the motion forced the cornerback to follow Samuel, tipping the defense's hand and confirming for Jones that the defense had called for man coverage. Second, Miller was lined up in the backfield as the running back with two receivers and a tight end to the left, meaning the defender responsible for him in coverage be a linebacker, a matchup in which the speedy former quarterback should almost always win.

At the snap, Samuel released straight upfield while outside receivers Jalin Marshall and Michael Thomas ran a 'mesh' concept, meaning two matching, shallow crossing routes. To make things more difficult for the defense, tight end Nick Vannett stayed in to block, letting Miller sneak out uncovered as the linebackers fail to pick him up.

The result is a wide open Miller in the flat, who makes an easy catch before picking up 16 yards.

Jalin Marshall is Adjusting to a New Important Role for Ohio State

MarshallBreakingTackle.jpg


Take a trip back in time with me. Going back one year, Ohio State’s search for a playmaker at H-back was in full investigation.

Dontre Wilson entered the 2014 season as the leading candidate after a solid freshman year where he accumulated 460 total yards and three touchdowns, but was yet to breakout and live up to the hype surrounding him when he arrived in Columbus.

A good game against Cincinnati – six receptions for 71 yards and one touchdown and one carry for 21 yards – had fans believing he was on his way to seizing the position and becoming the next Percy Harvin.

Wilson was good throughout last season, but an injury in the Michigan State game ended his year early and another player began to emerge.

Jalin Marshall was a high school option quarterback who redshirted his freshman year as he looked to find a role on the Buckeye offense. It was a slow start to 2014 for a player who had a ton of athletic ability, but couldn’t find a chance.

Marshall’s first touchdown came against Kent State and the game reps slowly started to build. The more he was on the field, whether it was on the offense or on special teams, Marshall began to show his dynamic playmaking ability.

By the year’s end, Marshall amassed 927 total yards and seven touchdowns doing a little bit of everything for the Scarlet and Gray. He was the weapon head coach Urban Meyer looked for in his offense.

A year later, some of Ohio State’s top receiving options are gone and Marshall is deployed in a true wide receiver role. The offense sputtered to start the year while looking to replace these players, but things appeared to move in the right direction last Saturday in a win over Western Michigan.

“It’s been, I can’t say frustrating, but it’s been hard because coming off last year, we expect to come back this year and keep the train rolling,” Marshall said after the victory. “We kind of got stopped a little bit but I feel like we practiced hard, we worked on the things we needed to clean up, and we came out today and proved that we’re still a high-octane offense.”
