The one practice I went to I will never forget him yelling at Jayme Thompson " Hey Jayme, hey, Jayme ya catch the F****** ball, stop F****** up my drill" then about 3 reps later a manager throw ball to wrong spot " Hey, F*** my drill up again you'll fill water all season" hahah hes a character but will be very good for OSU

Chris Ash Updates + Ash said that he has liked what he has seen from his defensive backs because they are making plays on the ball. He said that he wants every pass challenged, saved for the situations when it's third and very long and a quick pass is thrown. + He said that he is concerned about Navy's cut blocking and thinks it should be outlawed, and that if the rules committee could make that happen in the next two weeks he'd be very happy. + He did say that they have gotten a lot done in a short amount of time in preparation for Navy. + Ash called the safeties "the generals of the defense" because they will be making so many calls. + He said they are still working on finding out who their second cornerback is, as well as their free safety. He said both jobs will sort themselves out this week. + Ash said that freshman safety Erick Smith just naturally has a way of getting to the football, even if it's the wrong way. "I don't know how he always does it." + On the free safety competition, he said that "it's really close" between Vonn Bell and Cameron Burrows. Both are getting first-team reps. Erick Smith and Ron Tanner are competing to back up Tyvis Powell at strong safety.
Chris Ash Updates + Ash said nothing from this game translates to anything they will do the rest of the year, other than effort and dealing with adversity. + Ash said Navy had some run plays from formations that they had never seen before. They adjusted, but they couldn't get it stopped cold. + The fundamentals were fine and Ash said he saw some really good tackling. The problem with Navy is that they always have answers for everything you do. Especially as the game goes on, because they pay attention to how a defense attacks them. He said OSU tackled well, but Navy schemed them well. + Ash: "A win's a win. I'm not going to apologize for the way our guys played in getting a victory. It was a hard-fought game." + Ash said it wasn't pretty, but they got stops when they needed to. + Ash said he would like to see Vonn Bell and Cam Burrows continue to rotate. "I'm good with that." But he also added that he would be okay with one jumping out ahead of the other. + Ash said Navy's offensive success had nothing to do with OSU's youth and everything to do with what Navy was doing. Great technique, fundamentals and scheming. He said every team pulls out 4 or 5 plays that you have never seen on film, and your job is to adjust and survive those. He said there was a play in the second half that they kept hitting the Buckeyes on and they tried to adjust, but just couldn't execute the play. + Ash said having both walk-out linebackers on the field at the same time was about getting more speed on the field for Navy's option game.
