Jim Knowles previews Ohio State's top-five matchup with Indiana, gives thoughts on Denzel Burke

[@joshsohn6504]

Knowles will need to play a bit more cover 2 and trust the line and LB’s to take the run… secondary been cooked all season long

[@bschmid100]

He won’t. It’s just not in his dna. He trusts his secondary and thinks they can win against anyone when prepared correctly

[@briangamble9]

We can't expect these guys not to give up plays. This ain't the 2000 ravens D. We just need to make stops when it matters .

[@matthewmiller5194]

​@@bschmid100Indy aint got know one like Tez Johnson or anyone running 4.3s But Burke is the weakest DB Hancock and Matthews would be ahead of them it sucks cuz I like DENZEL alot and His attitude and commitment to this team

[@austinburgess8983]

Denzel doesn't even look for the ball, looks like he's been locked in on the openents chest. Needs to locate the ball, they have been hanging there

[@bschmid100]

Yes. Great take. He does not look for the ball

[@HandsomeCat-we2dq]

He was overhyped by the media. Good? Yes! Great? Nope.

​@@HandsomeCat-we2dq Average 4th Rd pick gotta get your head around locate the ball period

I been meaning to upload a vid on Denzel. A lot of the osu dbs technique on fades has been ultra agg but difficult to find ball. They don’t get their hips turned around. This is the way db coach and Knowles are teaching it. I was taught different as db but that was a long time ago now. I don’t mind this aggression but absolutely you have to have a tech that helps you locate the ball.

[@PowerSpreadXO]

Overall Burke’s tech has been better since Oregon. His feet - positioning (outside or inside shoulder) - shuffle steps instead of flat footed off back peddle. All has been better. But all the DBs struggle with that back shoulder stuff. Look at Ransom on Warren late in the psu game. Same thing. Where’s the ball??!

[@theflixcapacitor1372]

If Ryan Day would have hired an NFL defensive coordinator instead of a big 12 defenseless coordinator, osu would probably have a national championship. How many times did Ohio State affect Dylan Gabriel?

O do not want to bring this up again but i see someone posting seth tore his Achilles

[@yx5881]

you simply have to locate the ball at catch point….That involves looking back for it. ..its really that simple…but not as easy to do. but you must…

[@nickbutram1855]

INDIANA WILL BE EXPOSED TTUN HAS NO O AND HELD THEM YA WERE FINE 1 GUY DOESNT CONTROL THE ENTIRE TEAM GO BUCKS

[@yx5881]

[@matthewmiller5194]

About 5 mins in he does

[@thefireshow1]

Uh, excuse me…Coach Walton coaches the secondary!👀

[@yx5881]

@@thefireshow1 him also…but they both do, and Knowles has been asked about that specifically….and he says its all right how the corners play the ball..with thoer back to the ball even till the catch point..almost Never do theynlook back or up for to,locate the ball…so yes, they noth have a hand in this
