Jim Knowles describes Ohio State's new defense as “safety-driven” and envisions Kourt Williams and Ronnie Hickman being on the field at the same time.
Jim Knowles has tweaked some of his patented positional terminology during the implementation phase of his new defense at Ohio State.at the start of February, Knowles was still calling the free safety position the “bandit." By the start of spring practice on Tuesday, the former Oklahoma State defensive coordinator was referring to the free safety spot as “the adjuster,” while bandit is now the name for the boundary safety position.
Ohio State played Williams a season-high 47 snaps in the Rose Bowl in order to stop Utah’s run threat, and it appears Knowles wants to use him for a similar purpose in 2022. “The answer is yes, I do envision them both playing together,” Knowles said. “I just think ’s a heads up guy, I think he’s a football player, he understands defense, he communicates, he’s got a great personality. He’s everything I want in a safety, so I definitely want him on the field and I want Kourt on the field too.”
“It’s my job to make sure that he still learns and Perry ’s job to keep him engaged mentally and all of our jobs to encourage him to stay involved,” Knowles said. “But when it comes to on-the-field coaching, there’s not much we can do. He’s got to take a lot of mental reps, we just got to just give him encouragement. I remember him from high school and from what I’ve seen on film, he is a guy that can have a really positive effect for our defense on the field.
Knowles is also happy to have McCalister around as a liaison of sorts between him and his new pupils, who may needin transitioning to both Knowles’ new scheme as well as his personality on the field.
