Laurinaitis’ work ethic keys Buckeyes’ defense

LordOfEntropy · 01-20-2008, 05:52 AM

Well, I finally watched the game again. And this time I really focused on Lauranaitis.

So what is my conclusion? I stand by what I said before. He's going to be good. Very good. Not an Urlacher or Ray Lewis, but good nonetheless. For the entire first quarter, he was caught out of position on only one single play. That's all. He almost never missed any tackles. With good coaching, and good conditioning, this guy is going to shine in the NFL.

Did he make some mistakes? Yes. The facemask was a biggee. A couple times, his pass coverage looked shaky. And he did get blocked out of some plays, took the wrong line on others. But overall, this guy has talent and intelligence. I loved the way I saw him correcting and directing other guys on the defense. This guy knew what he was doing.

Thanks for the analysis LOE. I agree that he'll be a good one, but I don't know if he's a top-10 talent. Just a difference in opinion I guess.

I disagree missile. He took Hester down again, and again, and again. I guess we just have a difference of opinion.
