Ohio St. shows blitz on almost every down, whether they are bringing the heat or not. There is a reason they do that. It makes the QB think, it makes the lineman have to make line calls, and sometimes the wrong ones. Conversely, our defense just lines up and there is absolutely nothing the opponent can be remotely confused about.
I know, we are the, "here is what we are going to do, but are you good enough to beat us?"
When we have 2 NFL linebackers and an NFL corner, we can win, when we don't, we will lose. And we will lose doing the same thing over and over b/c that is just what we do. We need to "execute", which apparently means Troy Johnson must cover slot receivers 30 yards down field. If the gameplan calls for Troy to "execute" that defense, good luck. If Ferentz called for me to kick a 45 yard field goal and as long as I execute it will work, well, guess what, I am physcially not able to execute that task.
You have to adjust to your personnel. End of story. When we are stacked on D we can go ahead and run vanilla crap all day long. In some ways I am really looking forward to basketball b/c we may have a coach that says, "we will try to play man, but if we don't have the personnel to do it this year, we will play zone; we will try to run, but if we don't have the personnel this year, we will grind", instead of, "we are playing man to man come hell or high water b/c that is just what we do and if we just execute we will be okay."
