all roster missing Ohio State starter

[buckeye2584]

Hey Guys. Looking forward to the OS roster release...

I have noticed on all rosters posted so far that Ohio State does not have their #2 receiver, who is listed on the 2 deep. #9 Verlon Reed who came on strong at the start of last year but got hurt has seemingly dissapeared. Would love it if OS can put him in the game.

Thanks!

Also doesn't have Nathan Williams on the defensive line. And have John Simon as a DE in his place....

It also has Noah Spence as a linebacker.

Re: all roster missing Ohio State starter

Yes. Nathan Williams is missing as well. John Simon is correct at DE. That is where he is listed on Urban Meyers 2Deep. All rosters I have found have Noah Spence correctly listed at DE.

The only thing that bugs me is Verlon Reed. Hopefully OS puts him in there!

The problem with this is that the game only holds 75 players so people will be missing. I recommend waiting for the OS rosters and then editing them for players you want/don't want.

Thought it was 70 players..or did they up it this year? I dont know because the game has sat on my desk. I can't play without correct rosters.

You are right, now that I think of it it is 70. Just makes the problem worse

Which roster are you currently using? I know Simon will play multiple roles and is listed at DE on the 2-deep, but he will probably play more DT like last season now that Williams is back and with the depth. But that is something I can change for my own personal use. I just don't like that Williams and Reed are not on the rosters...

Re: all roster missing Ohio State starter

I agree Reed should be in the game, but I wouldn't label him a starter or the "#2 receiver". Reed is the 2nd string Z receiver/flanker behind Evan Spencer. Devin Smith and Thomas play at X receiver/split end, and Philly Brown and Chris Fields are H receivers. The game doesn't distinguish between these, so the overall hierarchy is somewhat of a guess. EA put #18 TY Williams in, which sucks b/c Reed will play.

Yeah. And those are things that when the rosters drop, I will correct on my own. I will probably just adjust their skills to make the 2-deep more accurate for own use...

I don't see Simon moving inside other then in passing situations. Nate won't be back until B1G opener an will have to beat out a couple fresh. studs to get his full time starting job back as it won't be handed to him so him having a lower rating until he proves he is back to his old self will be ok. Verlon Reed should be on the roster rated within top 5 or 6 WRs and they should replace him with T.Y. as he won't see much meaningful minutes unless he learns to consistently catch the ball over the summer. I expect most of, if not all these will be addressed with OS roster.

Re: all roster missing Ohio State starter

Wow OSU's #2 receiver had 7 catches all of last year? Good luck with that lol

Re: all roster missing Ohio State starter

Simon is a defensive end. The starting front-four will have Bellamy and Simon at the ends with Goebel and Hankins on the inside. Nate Williams, Noah Spence, Adolphus Washington and Michael Bennett will all get significant playing time.

Actually their top 3 receivers had 14 catches. I don't think it's really that bad to only have 14 catches if you only throw the ball 4 times in one game(and you only complete one)...

Re: all roster missing Ohio State starter

Nathan Williams is coming off of micro fracture surgery. He might play at a % of his former self or he may never recover.

John Simon is a defensive end and that's not even slightly debatable. He has always been an athletic tweener and slimmed down this offseason to rush the passer better.

There is no chance of him moving to DT fulltime, outside of a pass rush package to get Spence or another frosh on the field to rush the passer.

They have a bazillion quality DTs and that's without counting Adam Bellamy, who is playing DE at the moment. They had zero useable defensively ends last year. It was so bad that they started 3 DTs plus Simon, with two more DTs as the primary rotation guys.

Verlon Reed was a promising WR before the season ending injury. He hasn't practiced at all under Meyer due to rehab so it's pretty hard to judge his role in this offense.

Replacing TY with Reed was logical but TY finally learned how to catch this spring. That makes adding verlon even harder.

Then to top it off he now wears a claimed number. 4.
