"@RossRFulton Tampa is great but with the right QB and WRs its hard to live in zone Kirby found that out against Ole Miss. and Wisconsin doesnt have the cats or pass rush to do much else. Its a fun watch though if you like scheme. Ive always thought Mike Tressel did a great job"

"Thats really hard I dont think the Safety/Nickel play outside of Downs is really elite if any part fails on the defense it usually comes from those two spots. Schematically Man Im not sure they have a lot of answers. My whole question has been if they see an Ole Miss type team that can challenge them on the perimeter will all the MOFC they play affect them negatively Maybe. They dont carry a ton of light box answer because they havent had too"

"Zion Grady has been on of my favorite "up and comers" for Ohio State that gets in late into games for the Silver Bullets. Lock-Peek-Shed Primary/Secondary. No release yet but that comes later usually. For more film and film breakdowns join the Fans Circle and Film Library Link for Fans Circle: Link for Library:"

"Great post snap communication between Igbinosun (#1) and Jaylen McClain (#18) on the X Cut and handing off the seam. Igbinosun has had a stellar year this year still the same bulldog but stepped up the technical level.

"This dialogue about NFL systems and complicated defense drives me insane. It discredits other systems and coordinators and is false. The Saban/Smart tree is the most insane system and has bled essentially into the rest of CFB. Pre-snap coverage rotations have been a thing forever. Odd and even front structure have been a thing forever"

"Sometimes gap and a half football happens naturally. Arvell Reese (#8) stacks back naturally with the ball. Kayden McDonald (#98) fights back to his secondary gap. All happens because the LOS is reset off the snap. For more film and film breakdowns join the Fans Circle and Film Library Link for Fans Circle: Link for Library:"

"@cavsbuckeyes McClain is my favorite out of the rotation for sure its a younger group. 8/11 guys are elite snap to snap. The CB/Nickel/SS spot is good to great to snap. (All X would start for Penn State). Being ultra nitpicky here"

"Flipped on some 2025 Ron Roberts for the first time this year and was greated with a classic. Newton 3C vs GT Counter. Bullet + Trace (Knife) leaves a X for X for the Outside/Inside Pieces. Have a feeling the rest of this tape will be gold"

"Final play of the game is a perfect microcosm of where the Ohio State defense is at. Multiple Technical Deep and JUICED. 6-1 Cover X versus 12p DBs are "Glued" and Travel with their work. IF YOU ARE JUICELESS YOU ARE USELESS"

"3 vertical threats versus X High Tampa shot over the MRTs (Middle Run Through). Have a feeling this is where the explosive gains will have to come late in the year for Ohio State. For more film and film breakdowns join the Fans Circle and Film Library Link for Fans Circle: Link for Library:"
