That said, the first two sacks weren’t so much him in my opinion.  Bad blocking on the first one.  Coverage sack on the 2nd one.  Third one was him making a good move and beating his man one on one.  I don’t see a dominant performance here though.  Ohio State o-line play looked pedestrian to me and didn’t see Hutch much outside of the 3 sacks, 2 of which I wasn’t all that impressed by.

This game doesn’t change my opinion of him.  I don’t see him as a perennial 12+ sack a year guy in the pros.  I feel like I should be excited about a #1 overall selection and I’m just not with him or any of the DE’s.  I need to watch some Sauce.  Maybe I’ll get excited about him.

He had 15 pressures that game on top of the 3 sacks and 3 tackles for loss.

Is that how you'd score it watching that clip?  If TFL's are a double accounting of sacks, yes he had 3 of them.  If they are not, he had 0 according to that clip.

I saw 9 legitimate pressures (which I would define as he clearly affected the QB or the QB's decision making) and a 10th which was from a bad snap.   I saw him draw a holding call.  I saw the 3 sacks, one of which was a coverage sack.  I'll give him back the 1st sack I downplayed as poor blocking even though I think it was.  I think that's a fair assessment of what I just watched and it's nothing he shouldn't be proud of.  It was a good showing by him.  I just don't see a dominant pass rusher when looking at this game and beyond and I would like to feel that he is dominant about a DE going 1st overall.
