Spielman

Submitted by Ziff72 on
Easily my favorite Buckeye. He just did a great job crushing NC's lb play on the pass over the middle. Sometimes coaches make football seem so complicated you think your common sense may be wrong, Spielman did a great job of simplifying lb play. "It's 3rd and 14 what are the lb's worried about the underneath route for" "In zone defense don't get caught covering dirt, turn and face the WR and get under his route. Makes me feel better that when I was yelling at the lb's that let guys go right by them or jumped 5 yd routes on 3rd and 24 that Spielman agreed with me.

Yeah, when I respect the shit out of people I always post about how they're probably on an ambien-fueled sex binge because they need it after their wife died of cancer.

somewhere obi and jonas are saying to themselves, "but i thought coach hopson told us to always worry about the short routes the safeties will save our asses if any one goes deep."

I'm not a Lions fan, but I am a Spielman fan. I am deeply touched by how dedicated he was to his ailing wife. There's that famous story of him showing up to his interview with Bo with torn jeans, a white t-shirt, and chewing tobacco in his mouth. That was 1984 I think. He grew up and became a great family man.
