Look, I am no Ohio State fan. But being in Columbus for the past few years I have watched Zeke run over or around every defense (including Alabama) that OSU has come up against. He is a freak combination of speed and power. I shake my head when I hear Scot worried about stopping Sproles on a third down play but then ignoring Zeke who will carry the ball 30 times running behind an OL with three first round draft picks. It is not going to be pretty for us.

Even if you are right about Elliot, some rookie defensive tackle isn't going to solve that issue next year. Build for the future and take the most talented player available. That's what teams like the niners, Hawks, packers etc have all done to build contenders. So stop bitching already and just enjoy the offseason, it's still going better than yester years before McGlock was at the helm. Go skins
