Being at a private school that doesn't have the same moonbat crazy fanbase and media attention as Michigan helps. Same with being at an NFL team where not only were you winning but your front office was an even bigger clownshow than you.

My thoughts on some of these things:TheGreyGhost posted:Some thoughts on the current state of the Buckeyes: I go back and forth on this. The calling is bad, without a doubt, but I think the WR unit is so loving tremendously lovely that I almost don't even know what they can do about it. I mean, the receivers are absolute dogshit with the exception of Noah Brown (who isn't even that good outside of jump balls) that the only plays that actually work are predictable as gently caress. I mean, you're left with a run play that anyone will see coming, an incomplete pass or a coverage sack. Those are really lovely choices. TheGreyGhost posted:- In a similar vein, I don't think you can run an 8-10 receiver rotation in a game that close. Barrett is so finicky with his timing that having anything other than like 5 guys out there risks throwing him off on stupid poo poo like the Parris Campbell clearout that he should have completed to Samuel but didn't. I understand that this team is crazy deep, but there is a grand total of one player you legitimately have to scheme around on offense right now, and that's Samuel. They need to find outside receivers that complement what he does. Also James Clark absolutely should have caught that deep ball considering it hit him in the drat helmet. Zach Smith is a lovely WR coach. He seems like a cool guy and a great recruiter but I don't know how you could say anything other than he is a lovely WR coach at this point. Any receiver who has been any good under Urban was here before Smith. All of the guys rostered who Urban brought in or came in under the year Fickell was in charge are terrible and have never gotten any better. None of these guys know how to turn a DB or break free of one. They all play like the only way they can get open is to outrun someone. It's awful to watch. People are making GBS threads on Barrett's accuracy deep the last few games but I don't even know how you can expect a guy to develop timing when any one of 8 dudes is running deep on a given play. It has to be frustratingly impossible to time that correctly. quote:- Part of the deep ball issues are probably the inconsistent line play. The left side has been money this year, but Isaiah Prince has been mediocre at best in pass protection and is a false-start machine when it comes down to it. The protection didn't totally break until the last two drives, but man was it uninspiring to see a guy with NFL size get mauled all night. I largely attribute this to what you said above about the lack of vertical stretch. Teams are so comfortable now throwing everything at this line that it's mindfucking every player up there. Nobody can get open so on any given pass attempt, JT is in the pocket for what seems like an eternity, which is making teams more comfortable on delayed rushes, so when they send three or four, the OSU o-line is so loving paranoid about a delayed rusher that they're completely out of sync. quote:- Good god Nick Bosa is superhuman. He was the best player in that game, and it really isn't close. Considering he's a true freshman coming off a torn ACL, that's absolutely absurd, and I'm so excited for 2.5 more seasons of that. The majority of the interior line snaps should be Landers and Bosa at this point. Moving Forward: quote:- Mike Weber and Curtis Samuel deserve to have carries at about a 2:1 ratio right now. Weber is obviously a workhorse, but using Samuel softens the defense up so much more for what Weber and the TE can do that it's absolutely criminal to give him fewer than 15 touches a game out of the backfield/in the slot right now. Similarly, stop limiting Barrett's carries to only designed QB Power/Draw runs and start letting him work the option game even more if you're not going to let him be a passing threat all over the field. Based purely off talent shown this year, I'm not sure they're best set up isn't having Brown, Wilson and Samuel at WR with Weber and McCall handling stuff in the backfield. Samuel is a phenomenal H-Back but the WRs are so bad I think it's worth trying. Also, McCall looks like a loving gamebreaker every time he touches the ball and I don't understand why a team so desperate for playmaking right now isn't at least trying him.

I mean, you're left with a run play that anyone will see coming, an incomplete pass or a coverage sack. Those are really lovely choices. I agree with this to a point. Jalin and Michael Thomas were both Urban guys through, so I don't think it's purely a Smith thing. I honestly think the biggest problem is that they churn so much that none of these guys have enough game reps or experience to know what the gently caress they're doing. Like, Corey Smith is pretty bad, but he's not playing at this point, and that's despite him ostensibly getting pretty decent burn for the '14 and '15 team where the level of receiving play was way better than where it is now. I don't imagine that's because Urban suddenly woke up and was like "woah this guy sucks", as much as I may wish. I think it's because this team probably has a poo poo ton of guys who can ball out in drills but have no idea what they're doing in game situations because they've had no real reps and don't spend enough time in the game to do anything. And considering the rotation is controlled by Smith as well as the instruction on routes and things like that, that is absolutely on him. But I don't think it's a purely a "we have no idea how to run routes" type of thing. Perfect example was the Parris Campbell/Curtis Samuel clearout design near the endzone where both receivers technically knew what they were supposed to do and broke the route correctly but both looked uncomfortable with the timing of it, with Campbell wanting to break it late and Samuel wanting to break it earlier. If you have no idea who is running a concept with you, it throws your perception of space off, which makes things even worse if you're Barrett. quote:People are making GBS threads on Barrett's accuracy deep the last few games but I don't even know how you can expect a guy to develop timing when any one of 8 dudes is running deep on a given play. It has to be frustratingly impossible to time that correctly. This is back to Smith's rotation and the fact that we're terrified to call verts since the OCs have no goddamn idea who going deep and if they'll be able to get open I suppose. Barrett stuck the ball right on Clark, and he dropped it. If that's Brown, he probably catches it, but we had a backup receiver in for that because...uh... I would love to see them play their loving starters in crunch time quote:Based purely off talent shown this year, I'm not sure they're best set up isn't having Brown, Wilson and Samuel at WR with Weber and McCall handling stuff in the backfield. Samuel is a phenomenal H-Back but the WRs are so bad I think it's worth trying. Also, McCall looks like a loving gamebreaker every time he touches the ball and I don't understand why a team so desperate for playmaking right now isn't at least trying him. McCall is really good but also kinda small and fragile. He missed a lot of time in high school with nagging injuries, so Urban appears to be taking it easy with him and letting Marrotti bulk him up. I would love to see him getting some reps, especially considering Samuel is easily the best receiver we have out of the slot. Although I say this and we'll probably get a bunch of stupid Dontre Wilson "almost go for 50, only go for 5" sweeps and screens instead.
