Dre’Mont Jones came back to Ohio State hoping to play 15 games. Jones, a fourth-year defensive tackle, weighed the pros and cons of declaring for the NFL draft in January but decided he needed another year of college. That was a big decision for Jones, who some analysts pre- dicted could have been picked as high as the first two rounds. And it was big for Ohio State. Getting Jones back could be a key part of the puzzle if Ohio State is going to get to the Col- lege Football Playoff and still be playing in a fifteenth game, which would be the national championship game. Even with ends Sam Hubbard, Jalyn Holmes, Tyquan Lewis and tackles Tracy Sprinkle and Michael Hill all moving on after last season, Jones’ decision meant the Buckeyes would still have one of the best defensive lines in the country this season, led by players like Nick Bosa, Chase Young, Robert Landers and Jones. When Jones announced he was staying at Ohio State, he said raising his draft stock was a big factor in his decision. “That’s a big factor for me stay- ing, just to enhance myself and enhance my stock,” he said. Urban Meyer was effusive in his praise of Jones after spring Don Speck l The Lima News practice for focusing on Ohio Ohio State defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones(86) stops Indiana’s Mike Majette (24) in his tracks during the season opener in 2017.

  • Washington Head Coach Ron Rivera Postgame Quotes – December 13, 2020 San Francisco 49Ers Vs
    Washington Head Coach Ron Rivera Postgame Quotes – December 13, 2020 San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Football Team Do you have any updates on QB Alex Smith? “Yes, what happened was Alex developed some tightness and muscle soreness as he was pushing off that right leg. As we ended the half, they took him in to get x-rays. The x-rays were fine. There was no issue there, but he had the soreness and it was tight. So we decided not to have him go back out there in the second half. We had them there in case of emergency, he stayed on the sideline, stayed loose and tried to loosen it up, but it just stayed tight. He couldn't get it loose. In an abundance of caution, we went with [QB] Dwayne [Haskins Jr.] in the second half.” What can you say about your defense and the performance they had in this game today? “It was pretty exciting. They did a lot of good things. They really stepped up and helped out. I know there's some issues that [Defensive Coordinator] Jack [Del Rio] is not happy with, but Jack's expecting an awful lot from those guys as we all are and those guys rose to the occasion.” Over the last few weeks you’ve talked about how DE Chase Young was staying patient when he was being double-teamed and triple teamed when he was held sackless. For him to have the performance he had after you’ve told him to not get frustrated and to wait for that moment.

  • 2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus
    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend.

  • Ohio State Defensive End Chase Young Declares for 2020 NFL Draft
    Ohio State Defensive End Chase Young Declares For 2020 NFL Draft Chase Young will forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the 2020 NFL Draft. The standout defensive end announced his decision via his Twitter account on Jan. 3. James 1:17… Buckeye For Life…✌❤️ pic.twitter.com/symHLRRuCB — CY2 (@youngchase907) January 3, 2020 Young set the Ohio State single-season record with 16.5 sacks as a junior for the Buckeyes, helping the team set the program record with 54 sacks on the year. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound edge rusher recorded 21 tackles for loss (1.75 per game), which tied him for fourth in the country. Young, who finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting, recorded the second-most forced fumbles in the nation with six. He did all this despite missing two games due to a suspension. With the Cincinnati Bengals expected to select Southern Ohio native and former Buckeye Joe Burrow with the No. 1 pick, the Washington Redskins sit at No. 2 with former Ohio State standouts Dwayne Haskins and Terry McLaurin on the team. Haskins is hopeful that he and Young will be reunited in D.C., which is not far from where they each attended high school in Maryland — Dematha Catholic for Young and the Bullis School for Haskins.
