Five Buckeyes We'll Be Talking About More By October

WEBVTT
1
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.679
Everybody, Welcome to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast. I'm Tony Gerdaman
2
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.840
here as always with some more Tom. How's it going, Tony?
3
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.679
This will be completely lost on the people who are
4
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.520
listening and not watching on YouTube, but we did not
5
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.159
plan this, but we managed to wear completely the opposite outfits.
6
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.119
We are loaded in Buckeye Insiders branded gear right now,
7
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.600
and I am wearing a white shirt and a black hat,
8
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.960
and you're wearing a black shirt and a light colored hat.
9
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.200
So it looks like we are you compared us to
10
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.040
spy versus spy, which I think we would need to
11
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.760
trade hats for that if I remember correctly, But nonetheless,
12
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.359
we will spend the next ten to twelve minutes throwing
13
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.719
bombs at each other. And then you can fold in
14
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.519
a picture of what's his name?
15
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:20.599
Right after that, and you got Homer Simpson being like
16
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.599
the all Ighty dollar. Oh, I get it, another dynamite
17
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.239
reference by only for like six people. But this is
18
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.959
kind of like a positive negative image that we're dealing with.
19
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.079
So yes, the spy versus spy outfits should definitely maybe
20
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.079
for the bold predictions, which time I got to tell you,
21
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.159
aren't that Holy crap? Aren't that far away as I
22
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.359
look at my watch right now, two weeks.
23
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.640
Well, two weeks until the first game, but that means
24
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.200
we probably need to do a season bold prediction show,
25
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.359
maybe next week. So it is it is getting late
26
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:57.359
early around here.
27
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.719
Man. We do all right, Ye, fantastic. That's just great,
28
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.840
great news, great news all around. And maybe this is
29
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.000
kind of a boldish prediction show, or as Tom would say,
30
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:14.000
a prediction show. We're gonna be talking about some buck
31
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.759
guys that we've talked about everybody at this point, so
32
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:19.840
this is not gonna be anything new, but Buck guys
33
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.759
who will be talking about more in October that guys
34
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.639
who continue to rise. And were we talking about our
35
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.240
Vel Reese this much last year compared to how much
36
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.759
everybody was talking about in October? No, am I saying
37
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.879
all of these guys are gonna be our Vel Reese? Yes, really,
38
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.360
but no, just guys who continue to make a larger
39
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.479
name for themselves and people will be like, boy, you
40
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.479
gotta watch out for this guy. And time I'll let
41
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:46.759
you go first. I'll let you go with the first
42
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:48.199
name that you want to throw out there, and then
43
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.360
we can just go from there.
44
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.520
I think my first name that I'm gonna say is
45
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.520
a name you've certainly heard us talk about a bunch
46
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.240
this spring and even some this fall. But it's just
47
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:03.039
it's a name that we haven't said as much over
48
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.120
the last few weeks as I thought we might, and
49
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.439
that's Legend Bay. And I think Legend Bay is still
50
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.560
kind of you know, he missed time in the spring
51
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.680
just with a real minor thing. I think it was
52
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.680
a hamstring and just it was just sort of a
53
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.840
precautionary thing. But he missed a bunch of spring camp
54
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:19.879
and then sat out the first couple of days of
55
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.039
fall camp. And we've obviously talked about him. You've heard
56
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.680
about him on our scrimmage reports and that kind of stuff,
57
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.039
so it's not, you know, it's not like we haven't
58
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:31.240
talked about him, but he's still kind of well how
59
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.360
much is he really going to play? And is he
60
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.599
going to get We were on with Bill and Doug
61
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.199
about a week ago and we're talking about how many
62
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.439
touches we expected him to have in the Texas game,
63
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.280
and everyone was kind of in like the two to
64
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.759
four kind of range. I think once you get into October,
65
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.439
he's going to be a little more settled, a little
66
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.919
bit more into the routine, and I think they're going
67
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.360
to have come up with some different ways to get
68
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.000
him the ball. I think you're going to be seeing
69
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.599
more of him as you get into the season than
70
00:03:58.639 --> 00:03:59.960
you will at the start of the year.
71
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.199
Yeah, and they'll have a better idea of how to
72
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.680
use them, what he's good at, what he's been effective at,
73
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.759
And he's going to get better the more that he plays,
74
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.319
whether that's offense, whether that's special teams, so the whole,
75
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.479
the whole of the player will get better as the
76
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.560
season goes. But also just yeah, they'll find out what
77
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.759
he's comfortable with. Where you see the players grow from
78
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.279
month to month, And he'll have some opportunities. Ball State
79
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:31.040
in September, Kent State, Illinois September twenty sixth, Iowa. You
80
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.240
know that's that's pretty tricky. October third, but Maryland at
81
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.480
home October tenth to Really there's there's a handful of
82
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.639
games in there to get your footing, and I don't
83
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.639
think he's going to need a ton of opportunities. There
84
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.439
are a ton of attempts to make make the coaches
85
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.879
want to give him more. In fact, we already know
86
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.720
they want to give him more. It's up to him
87
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.040
to be able to handle it. And as Ryande said,
88
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.879
to continue to improve and mature. And we've talked a
89
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.720
thousand times about ball protection. But you know, is that
90
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.439
pass blocking when he's in there. I continue to think like, generally,
91
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.920
if he's gonna be in there, it's not to pass block.
92
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.879
But sometimes you're gonna have to tell the running back
93
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.680
to stay in and help. So those are things that
94
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.240
he's gonna have to be able to do. But yeah,
95
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:14.839
I think for me, he was the first name that
96
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.360
I wrote down, and because I think he's going to
97
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.480
have some plays that are like wow. And so when
98
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.600
you've got those plays, then more people are gonna be
99
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.959
talking about you and the highlights and the YouTube and
100
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.639
all that. And when they talk about him on ESPN
101
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.680
or whatever Big ten network and they're showing plays, and
102
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.839
I'll be like, that guy's just a freshman, and so yeah,
103
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.240
there's gonna be some attention there. So I would agree
104
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.480
with that one. Can I give you a enough with
105
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.079
this freshman talk? I'm so sick of it. I'm gonna
106
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:48.839
go Riley Petty John sophomore linebacker who we know didn't
107
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.879
play in the spring has continued to improve in fall camp,
108
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:58.160
to the point where when Christian Aleegro, linebacker, was asked
109
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.120
about the versatility and the ability for the linebackers to
110
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.879
play in different spots, he said, you know, yeah, when
111
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.079
there's three linebackers out there, like I can be on
112
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.560
the line and Riley, Riley and Peyton can be on
113
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.360
off the ball, or you know, I can go off
114
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.959
ball and Riley can go on the line. And he
115
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.759
would just talk about like those three together and just
116
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.439
kind of caught my attention that there's no mention of
117
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.759
TJ Alfred there. And I do think TJ. Alfred is
118
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:27.920
going to play and he's got the most energy you've
119
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.560
ever seen and nothing but high things to say for him.
120
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.600
But when when a player is just talking about the
121
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.399
three linebackers and mentions only three linebackers and one of
122
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.600
them is Riley Petty John, I really think there's some
123
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.519
I know there's some potential there for some big plays.
124
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.480
We've seen it in small, small doses against Grambling, but
125
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.959
getting him out there consistently, I think there's there will
126
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.839
be some plays there where it's like, Wow, this guy's
127
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.680
the next in line. It's like Ohio State has done
128
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:01.480
it again with Riley Petty John. That's my number two guy.
129
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.120
On this list, and I think that's a very good pick.
130
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.360
He was someone who you know, we had, we had
131
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.600
sort of obviously coming out of last season, felt okay,
132
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.160
he's ahead of tj Alford. He sat out the spring.
133
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.480
Tj Alford got a lot more reps, came out of
134
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.800
the spring. You figured, okay, maybe they're kind of even
135
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.519
maybe not, But then this fall it does feel like
136
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.800
Petty John has maybe edged a little bit ahead of
137
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.680
tj Alford. And this is one of those things where
138
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.920
you know, we hear things. We've been talking to our
139
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.879
members about a bunch of stuff about okay, who how
140
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.120
do these different pieces fit together? And things like that.
141
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.439
But it's a little like the offensive line where we
142
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.600
keep telling you here's what we're pretty sure the offensive
143
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.639
line is going to be, and the coaching staff is, oh,
144
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.680
we don't know, it could be anything. And then Jacoby
145
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.120
Jackson was talking about it was just kind of a
146
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.000
very just sort of offhanded thing where Edward Houston and
147
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.480
James Smith were standing there with us while we're doing
148
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.800
interviews and they you know, raised their hands as oh,
149
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.319
what do you think when you see Edric Houston and
150
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:58.839
James Smith coming at you in practice and you know,
151
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.120
one of these like fun, lighthearted goofing around kind of things,
152
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.319
and he talks about you know, well, you know, I
153
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.560
know that I've got I've got Carson and Austin there
154
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.040
to clean things up. Then I can just cut back
155
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:15.319
behind their blocks and it'll be fine. And it's like, oh, well, Interestingly,
156
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.040
even though the coaching staff doesn't know who the offensive
157
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.639
line is going to be, you just said the combination
158
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.920
of guys that we were expecting to be playing center
159
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.319
and right guard. So it feels like that's a little
160
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.360
bit telling the Christian alegro want another one that's kind
161
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.759
of like the players know, the players know where things
162
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.720
are trending, even if the coaching staff is not ready
163
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.639
to officially announce it. So yeah, I think I think
164
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.480
that's a good one. Now, the guy who's left out
165
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.240
among the offensive linemen in that in that you know
166
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.559
Ian Moore's playing left tackle and Austin Searell's playing right guard.
167
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.480
The guy who was the sixth man in that offensive
168
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.840
line is Josh Padilla. I think there's a decent possibility
169
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.600
that Josh Padilla would make this list for me in
170
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.000
terms of someone we're talking about more in October, because
171
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.600
there's almost no scenario where where someone on the offensive
172
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.519
line goes down, even if it's just for a day
173
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.559
or a week, you know, and so and so has
174
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.039
to miss the Maryland game or whatever. There's almost no
175
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.919
scenario where Josh Prittya is not the guy who steps
176
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.159
up and plays. And I think you also may see
177
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:17.960
you know, we have seen them use what they call
178
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.240
the Bison package over the years, where a lot of
179
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.840
times that's a true freshman or a true sophomore just
180
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.440
kind of that sixth offensive lineman, Like I remember Donovan
181
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:32.240
Jackson being that guy. I remember Josh Fryer being that guy,
182
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.720
just a guy who comes in and it's just a
183
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.759
little bit of extra beef on the goal line in
184
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.639
short yardage. I think you may see him in that role.
185
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.679
I think you may see him if someone goes down.
186
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.840
I think he's the guy who steps in there. He
187
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.720
just he feels like he is very much next man up.
188
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.840
They talk about the next man up mentality a lot,
189
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.639
and it feels like Josh Pittya is going to be
190
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.679
the next man up somewhere there on the offensive line.
191
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.399
Yep, he's on my list as well. A guy that
192
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.919
could play. And we've seen them rotate. Guys, we've seen it.
193
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.600
If you deserve it, they're gonna play you. And I'm
194
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:07.000
not expecting a rotation per se. But does does Austin
195
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.960
Siraveld need to be out there in the third quarter
196
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.519
of a game that has, you know, already been decided
197
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.080
by twenty seven points. Probably not. This allows you to
198
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.200
keep Josh Patty it fresh. I mean, same thing with
199
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.600
Carson Hinzman. Would it be good to get him some
200
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.799
some some chill time so that Josh Pdy could get
201
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.320
some time at center, Yes, just just in case. So
202
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.039
I think you're gonna see him involve some way. And
203
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.879
uh and like you said, crazy stuff happens. We've seen
204
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.080
it continue to happen, and no reason to think that
205
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.759
he won't be involved somehow. And I guess the only
206
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.240
the only question here is is it is it actually
207
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.960
in October or is it November, you know, something like that,
208
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.840
or or January or December. So I do think he's
209
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.279
going to be involved this season. I know I kind
210
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.879
of dismissed the freshman, but I do want to talk
211
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:59.799
about brock Boyd, the wide receiver, true freshman who everybody
212
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:04.000
talks about in the spring. I haven't talked about as much.
213
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.440
But he continues to make plays, continues to do well,
214
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.720
continues to look like he absolutely belongs, continues to earn
215
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.159
raver views from his teammates and his coaches. And it
216
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.639
almost became like, well, we've already everyone's already talked about him,
217
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:19.960
so what else can we talk about? Don't want to
218
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.440
just keep talking about brock Boyd and then you just
219
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.879
talk about everybody else, and you want to come back
220
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.960
and remind folks that he's a true freshman. But he's
221
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.320
going to play this year. Expect him to play well,
222
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.360
Expect him to do every you know, continue to perform
223
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.720
and be as reliable and as explosive and everything that
224
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:44.679
you've seen in high school and big time high school.
225
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:48.000
It's a pretty good indicator. It's not always a perfect indicator,
226
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.519
but big time Texas High School is a pretty decent
227
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.000
indicator that you're going to be able to continue on
228
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.480
and do well. And they're going to put him in
229
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.960
positions to succeed, and he's not going to be out
230
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.519
there alone. So I'll have plenty of plenty of teammates
231
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.519
to help him. But I do think there's other receivers
232
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:05.960
that we could talk about here as well, And I
233
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.200
you know, Des Jones has had a couple of good camps,
234
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.679
good weeks in camp. You know Philip Bell as well.
235
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.000
So it's not we'll talk about on another show in
236
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.000
terms of the depth of the receiving room. But I
237
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:21.879
do want to mention brock Boyd as a guy that
238
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.120
I think more people will be talking about him in
239
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:25.919
October than they necessarily are right now.
240
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.559
Brock Boyd feels like one of those guys where there
241
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.919
was such a ground swell of conversation about him immediately
242
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.559
in the spring where he was the first guy to
243
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.120
lose his stripe and everyone kind of just had their
244
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:43.039
heads explode. And then you didn't have the long string
245
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.759
of highlight real plays like you had with Jeremiah Smith.
246
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.600
So then everyone kind of gets bored and it's like, Okay,
247
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.000
well we talked a lot about brock Boyd, so what
248
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.559
else she got? And so everyone just kind of moves on,
249
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.919
And I think people are probably to that spot in
250
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.440
some ways with like Jay Timmins right now. I wouldn't
251
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:02.039
have him on this list, just because we've talked about
252
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.320
him so much and I think Chris, I'm probably going
253
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.639
Chris Henry Junior. Why aren't you talking about Chris Henry Jr.
254
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:08.960
And I probably would have had him on this list
255
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.960
if we hadn't seen the Big Ten Network show where
256
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.600
they were just like Jeremiah Smith and Chris Henry Junior
257
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.399
was like, all right, settle down a little bit there.
258
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.080
It's quite not quite there yet, but I think I
259
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.639
think the cat is out of the bag on Chris
260
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.240
Henry Junior as well. So yeah, Des Jones and Philip
261
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.840
Bell I think are good names for this exercise because
262
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.320
those are names we really aren't talking about a lot,
263
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.120
but we you know, Philip Bell, I was standing I
264
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.159
don't remember who it was that I was standing next
265
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.279
to where you just looked at Philip Bell and it's like,
266
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.039
I don't know if it's going to be at Ohio
267
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:42.720
State or somewhere else, but he's going to have a
268
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.720
good career somewhere, and he certainly seems like he's trending
269
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.159
towards being some kind of an impact player for them
270
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.159
this year. And he's just that's just a name. And
271
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.000
Des Jones is another name. We just haven't set him
272
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.799
that much because it's it's such a deep, wide receiver room.
273
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.080
They've got so much talent in there, and I think
274
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:00.960
you're going to see more rotation they have in the
275
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.000
past with Cortez Hankton as opposed to Brian Hartlines. So
276
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.559
they are going to be opportunities there for both of
277
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.440
those guys to be in that conversation as well.
278
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.919
I think Kyle Parker better be on this list in
279
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.159
terms of guys that will be talking about in October
280
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:15.519
more than we are now because we're not talking about
281
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.240
him right now because he's not been on the field.
282
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:21.320
So I think that's a big one that certainly be
283
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.759
talking about it more. But it will be enough or
284
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.120
will it be you know, why are we talking about him?
285
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.120
But that's something to watch. I also want to talk
286
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:33.639
about Jermaine Matthews. I think everybody's talking about this secondary
287
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.759
and generally the only talk about Jermaine Matthews is a
288
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.360
couple of bad plays last year and talking with him
289
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.720
on whenever we did earlier in the week on Thursday,
290
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.120
and it seemed like that is is kind of annoyed
291
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.960
by some of the stuff and annoyed by the performances mostly,
292
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.000
you know, like that's what annoys the most is some
293
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.600
bad plays here and there. But I think I've always
294
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.840
liked his attitude, always liked his energy, his tenacity. So
295
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.879
I'm expecting people to be really really impressed with what
296
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.799
he does this fall, and more people will be talking
297
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:12.960
about him in October in a positive way than they
298
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:13.360
are now.
299
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.120
I think he's sort of on that list of guys
300
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.080
who have been around for so long that you just
301
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.159
sort of take them for granted in a way, and
302
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.559
it's just, well, Devin Sanchez is the new and shiny
303
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.039
at cornerback, and I do think Devin Sanchez is set
304
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.360
for a really, really really big year. But it's a
305
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.159
little like Davis enigmain Nosen where last year before you know,
306
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.320
the start of last year, everyone all anyone was talking
307
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.919
about with David Sigmundosen was boy the penalties and oh
308
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.639
boy he you know, he gets beat every once in
309
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.559
a while, but oh he's too grabby and he's just
310
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.960
constantly getting flags thrown on them all that kind of stuff,
311
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:49.559
and you, yes, that was true to a certain degree,
312
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:53.240
but also you're remembering the things that were standing out
313
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.200
like that, You're not thinking about oh yeah. And he
314
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.320
was also the guy that had that incredible interception on
315
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.720
the road at Penn State right before halftime in twenty
316
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.200
twenty four where he just it looked like a touchdown
317
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:04.639
and all of a sudden it was an interception, and
318
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.519
it was like, how did he do that? And then
319
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.399
you saw what he turned into last year, and then
320
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.480
you're seeing the camp reports out of Tennessee this year
321
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.799
where he is everyone's kind of going like, hey, where
322
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.679
did this guy come from? He was he was a
323
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.559
I think and remained an unsung hero on last year's
324
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:23.679
team because I think Ohio State fans spent a lot
325
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.720
of last year with their arms crossed and we'll see
326
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.639
if he gets called for a penalty on this drive,
327
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.960
and then he didn't, and then they're okay, we'll see
328
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:32.720
if he gets called for a penalty on this drive,
329
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.440
and then he didn't, and it was just kind of
330
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:36.639
it was just everyone sort of waiting for the other
331
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.240
shoot to drop, and it never really dropped, and he
332
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.720
had a really good year. I think that could be
333
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.320
Jermaine Matthews this year, where he's not necessarily the guy
334
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.080
who is the focal point of all the attention in
335
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.080
that secondary. But I think he could have a really,
336
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.720
really good year where you know, yeah, you're gonna get
337
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.559
he is going to get beat at some point this year.
338
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:56.480
Literally every corner in the country is going to get
339
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.200
beat at some point this year. But there were a
340
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:00.919
whole lot of games where he did not get beat
341
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:04.200
at all last year. And I think he's probably, you know,
342
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.799
probably a little bit underrated right now by Ohio State fans.
343
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.160
As a result.
344
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.759
You mentioned the David and Iguanos, and so I saw
345
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.359
a clip. I think these were the bills now and
346
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.279
he made a play on the past. Maybe maybe it
347
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.720
was it was certainly in practice, but he's a little handsy,
348
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:22.680
it's a it's a deep shot, he knocks it down,
349
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.039
he celebrates, and the number of Ohio State fans in
350
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.240
the comments of this tweet saying like, get ready for
351
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.319
all of the penalties in the world, and it's it's
352
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.240
exactly what you're saying, Like they were waiting for it
353
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:36.519
to happen last year, and not all of them. It's
354
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.400
just there was a segment of Ohio State fans in
355
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.880
this in these replies just talking about all of the
356
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.799
penalties and ignoring the fantastic year that he had last year.
357
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.799
And I don't know. I don't know if it's actively
358
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.880
rooting against him or like, yeah, you remember him for
359
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.039
the year you negatively remember for him for the year
360
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:05.000
in which you won a national championship. Is this how
361
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:08.759
we're gonna judge people? So give IGB a chance, I guess,
362
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.480
is what I'm saying. And you know, give other people
363
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.960
a chance in terms of other players, have we missed anybody?
364
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:16.559
Go ahead and let us know in the comments. Who
365
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:19.119
do you think we'll be talking about more in October
366
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.200
than we are right now? And this is the first
367
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.960
time we've said Jeremiah Smith's name, So will we be
368
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.279
talking about him more? See this is another reason why
369
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.440
jeremih Smith wouldn't have been in this mention two years
370
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:34.240
ago either because you could not possibly talk about him more.
371
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.160
It would be difficult to imagine talking about Chris Henry
372
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.960
Junior more. But give us some names that we've missed.
