Using the link above, I rewatched the first half of the game and here is what I saw play by play from the DL. If you are a football junkie, or just nuts like I am, take a look and follow along with my stuff as you watch it online or on DVR. Luckily it is dance lesson night for me so I had free time. I am going nuts with not doing this normally so it was refreshing to do it. I put it on @MightyPutty 's thread but then looked at it and thought that was way too much work and typing to not have it's own thread.
Take a look at it @Ross Fulton , @tylersmyth , @texanbuckeye , @MightyPutty
Here is what I saw in the first half, complete breakdown of the DL on every snap
Plays
1) Lewis is on a stunt and flies outside away from the play, Hubbard actually chips a TE, takes on the Hback, and gets a piece of another Hback as he fights to keep contain on a boot, Dremont actually gets good pressure
2) Hubbard is good, punches the OT and is stringing it out and actually controls the LOS. Baker screws up and comes up and hits the same tackles that Hubbard is engaged with and lets the RB outside.
3) Looks like a slant to the field as WIsky has strength to the boundary, Wisky runs zone to the field, Hubbard punches the TE, comes all the way down the line and makes the tackle from the backside, Lewis punches his tackles and keep contain though he is stumbling. Two Hbacks into the boundary, they run the Jet into it, Wisky uses influence against Lewis and Dremont which pulls them down inside, their keys take them inside but it is Jet Sweep outside, scheme beats them, Bosa is in and keeps contain to the field makes me think it was almost slant to the field again
4) Can't tell if this is a half slant or what, it looks like the field guys are slant, Jones doesn't touch his OG and that guy gets on Kwon, Bosa also hops outside to the field but there is no one there and the run is into the boundary, Lewis punches the heck out of the OT and knocks him back, run cuts up inside him in the bubble between Lewis and Landers, Landers is tackled, backers aren't getting off blocks
5) TE/Wing to the Boundary, OSU counters by bringing the Sam over the Wing, Lewis again punches the heck out of the OT and keeps contain, Dremont reads it right away, spins off of block comes down the line and makes the hit, Bosa is to the field doesn't touch the OT as he blocks down
6) Bosa is at the 3tech, but then they shift and he is a 1 tech, he and Lewis run a Twist, Lewis blows up the OT on his inside rush and Bosa comes in clean because of it for the sack, Lewis made the play and Bosa go the sack. Twist to the field with Hubbard crashing and he takes out the LG and LT, Holmes comes around late and would have had the sack if the QB had rolled to the field.
Next drive
1) The big run by Wisky, Holmes lets the tackle get into him but he does hold contain, can't get off the block though because he didn't use his hands, Hamilton runs right upfield and out of the play and doesn't get blocked they were going to Wham block him, Hill gets pushed out of his gap, Bosa is to the field and keep contain, its like the are slanting half the line sometimes, missed tackles lead to long run
2) Holmes uses his hands and sets the edge to the boundary, Hamilton does too, looks like slant into the boundary with a safety blitz off the edge to the field, RB has to cut back because of Holmes and Hamilton and Landers, who got too far upfield, comes back and makes the tackles. Lewis is to the field and comes down the line just fine.
3) Lewis is literally unblocked, he has no key so it freezes him for a second, he then sees pass and rushes and forces an early pass and it is incomplete to an open guy because of this pressure, they triple team Hill for some reason, Homes comes off the edge nice to the boundary, Hamilton is double teams at first so not much rush.
4) All DEs out there, Bosa is 3 tech on right, gets doubled and splits it then falls, Hubbard gets good rush off edge, Holmes gives shoulder instead of using hands gets blocks, Lewis gets good rush upfield, TD pass as ball is gone quick
Next series
1) tackle twist, Landers blows it all up, Dremont comes around and RB has to make him miss, Lewis is doubled by pulling guard and stuffs it, Kwon is unblocked and misses the tackle in the hole, Hubbard is DE away in the boundary action is away from him
2) DL slants to the boundary, Dremont whips his guy on the backside and comes back and makes the hit, Lewis is playside DE and blows up all the blocking on his stunt, LBers come around and clean it up, Hubbard is boundary DE and slants away from play, Landers is playside NG and also takes out blockers on slant
3) Three DEs out there, Bosa is 3 tech on left, whips his guard and has clean shot on QB and misses, Holmes is doubled and Lewis get good rush to the field or right, Hubbard is doubled by the Hback who chips on his which is what left Bosa one on one, Hubbard gets shot on QB just as he throws it, stupid protection really
Next:
1) Jet Sweep again, same thing, wide side influences Landers and Homes, Dremont and Bosa to backside nothing they can do
2) DL slants to the field, RB reads it and cuts it back to boundary, LBers should have cleaned that up but Wisky pulled a guy and that was enough to get good gain
3) Slant to the boundary, Bosa is to the field and goes inside but ball is away, Landers is playside and blows it up with penetration, Dremont makes the hit as he whips his man, Holmes uses his hands and stuffs the block to hold the edge but turns his shoulders late
4) 3rd and 3, OSU has 4 DEs in? They run a zone blitz, Bosa at left 3 tech drops into coverage and looks natural doing it, Hubbard whips his guy, gets held, still makes the sack, Lewis whips his guy gets held, Holmes at 3 tech gets doubled adn still gets in on hit on QB
Punt
Next:
1) Weird, looks like Slant to boundary, DL is loaded to the boundary, and Wisky throws TE screen to the boundary, shouldn't have worked but does, Dremont seems to run a tackle twist though, falls down gets up and chases down screen to make tackle, Hill Lewis and Hubbard apply pressure but it is a screen, Lbers all bit in play action which you don't do on a screen, stupid play that works and Dremont saves us as they get 7 yards
2) Slant to the boundary, Lewis is giving it away with alignment and set, nothing anyone can do as it is Jet to the field, got lucky as that could have gone for big yards
3) Hubbard right DE and to the field, sets the edge and destroys the OT may get upfield too much as it is run at him, Hill is one tech as DL is set to the boundary, center can't block him, he comes down field and spills RB right into Worley who makes the tackle, playside OG gets on Kwon which they pay for not doubling Hill clearly they are focused on Kwon, backside of Lewis and Jones come down the line nice and Dremont even hops over a cut block, Wisky cuts a lot on backside
4) Wisky overloads into boundary, so OSU walks up the Will over the wing/TE, Dremont gets driven by initial double but that leaves everyone else one on one and baker/Will stuffs it and allows LBer to come across and make hit for no gain, Hubbard is playside DE but since Will was there he didn't have contain and he stuffs the OT, Kwon overruns it because of Dremont getting driven but comes back and makes shoestring tackle, Lewis is DE to the field and comes down the line nicely
5) 3rd 4, 4 DEs, Bosa and Holmes get doubled and are stuffed, Lewis gets to QBs face for pressure, Hubbard goes too far upfield, ball is 1,2,3 and gone on whip inside, not much the DL could do there
6) Pass, Lewis and Hubbard rush hard upfield Lewis gets close, Dremont and Hill get stuffed which allows QB to step up away from DEs and complete short pass
7) DL slants to the boundary, WIsky boots to the field so entire DL is screwed
8) Rashad Berry is in!!! Gets nice rush upfield, 4 DE set as it is 3rd and 7, Holmes gets doubled and gets nowhere, Bosa gets stuffed and goes too far right, Hubbard gets nice pressure off the left edge forces QB to step up, If Bosa was there he gets him, Bosa tries to spin out and just can't get there in time complete pass
9) Wham play, Landers shoots upfield so fast the Wham can't get him but he misses the play, Holmes is wide side DE and holds his gap, Dremont and Hubbard backside hold their gaps, Kwon gets blown up by FB, Latimore cleans it up for no gain
10) Goes for a TD but called back on holding, wrong holding called IMHO, Holmes is playside/Wide side DE, gets too nosy, HBack blocks him and seems to hold, Jones gets a down block from OT and he is too high and loses ground, Landers penetrates and seems to get tackled on backside, Hubbard is backside, holds his gap/contain, gets spun around on a hold, hold is called on TE against a DB but there were 2 or 3 others, WIsky should come back to this set and look but I bet they don't
11) TE Trips to field, this is the formation on the last play of OT, L-R Hubbard Holmes Bosa Berry, entire DL destroys the OL Bosa kills his guy, Berry gets held and still comes off it to make the tackle as the QB gets through a gap, they went back to this in OT as they just got raped by the DL in this set?????
12) Same formation, same DL, double Rex (DE DT twist with DT going first and DE looping around inside), Holmes gets the pressure and hits QB as he throws it, Berry looped around too far, Bosa took 2 blockers
FG, but seriously WIsky later in OT goes to this on 4th down after they just got whipped in this look?
Next:
1) DL L-R Lewis Hamilton Landers Bosa, Jet sweep again, Lewis and Hamilton influenced and taken out of the play, nothing Landers or Bosa can do
2) Pass, the RB helps on Lewis with a nice chip, Hamilton is one on one gets OK rush, Landers get initial double to stop his penetration then guard leaves to help on Bosa late, Bosa gets decent rush, ball is gone fast for completion
3) Again, 3 steps and ball is gone quick, Bosa kills LT with nice bull rush, so does Lewis
4) Jet again to boundary, nothing Bosa or Landers can do because of influence, this is not a DL issue
5) Hubbard Jones Landers Holmes, Pro I to the field/Left, entire DL whips the OL, it is Iso to the short side and Hubbard is the wide DE and he comes all the way down and makes the tackle
6) Hill in at NG, nice call screen pass from Pro I, entire DL got upfield on pass rush, nothing they could do, could have called block in back on TE against Webb
7) double TE twins left, Hubbard whips the RT and gets hit on QB as he throws it forcing incompletion, everyone else is just OK, not much rush from DTs, that is the look they should have used in OT, guy was open
8) Wisky in power look, runs to their left and wide side, Jones stuffs double team and comes off to make the stick for maybe a yard gain, unreal play by him, everyone else held their gap
9) L-R Lewis Bosa Holmes Hubbard, TE Trips again, OSU in 4 DEs, they know to get to this based on personnel in there by WIsky, quick pass again and a good throw it would have been TD, rub route to RB out of the backfield, Bosa doubled, Lewis OK bull rush, Hubbard gets some pressure and so does Holmes
Half
OK, summary:
- Bosa was great......... as a 3 tech, complete mismatch against their guards. Not that he wasn't good at DE, he just didn't play much of it. I didn't remember him doing much at DE because he didn't really play it, might need to look at him more as a 3 tech????
- Hubbard was fine against the run and great against the pass, saved their lunch a few times with pressure, does get upfield a little too much at times on run
- Holmes is really good WHEN HE USES HIS HANDS, needs to not turn his shoulders when run is at him
- Dremont is an athletic 3 tech and is fine unless he gets high, when he tends to do, gets driven when he gets high, uses athletic ability to make some really nice plays, great effort
- Landers is great penetrator, feast or famine with him as he will not sit sometimes when he should and runs himself out of plays, but will also make plays
- Kwon really, really struggled this half
- Hill is a runs stuffer and never some him get moved, not much on the pass rush though
- when OSU can go to 4 DE look, they are almost impossible to stop, one of those guys is going to beat his guy and you can't double them all,
- Lewis is pretty freaking good but does give away some stuff by his stance
- Berry had a handful of snaps but he flashed, that kid can play, another athlete out there, looks like Holmes
- Hamilton struggled some and didn't see him at all in 2nd quarter I don't think
- Honestly, the Jet is what killed them, not zone or Iso. The DL was just fine. It was the Jet and the quick passing game and then play action out of run formations.
