Who Looked Good?

Cornerback:

Jacob Lacey -

While Lacey did not have as many opportunities to lay punishing hits on defenders against the Eagles as he did against the Vikings, he still displayed speed, quickness, and the ability to stick closely to his opponent in man coverage. For the second week in a row he made a play on a ball in coverage. Unfortunately he failed to haul it in for a turnover but it has been relatively rare to see someone so consistently in passing lanes, getting his hands on the ball, and having the opportunity to force turnovers in coverage in the Colts defensive scheme. If he looks good again against the Lions, I will pull hard for him as a dark horse roster candidate in the secondary.

Someone from our secondary on an NFL roster???!!!???!!!

Amazing how OSU actually has a fair number of defensive starters in the NFL in spite of our horrible defensive reputation.

That tells you how bad our d-line has been over the last few years. The complete lack of a pass rush made our d-backs look way worse than they actualy
were.

Our D-backs weren't great, but CB Lacey was pretty darn good.

We'll see if Cox can step it up this year, and whether the new "athleticism" at Safety will make any difference.

...but we knew our DLine didn't have much experience last year with Blatnick, Jones, Price, Miller, Donaldson not having ANY experience, and with Chinasa and Tea getting their first starts. Burton was a 1-year starter, and Chatham was the only guy with any extensive starting experience.
