The most annoying aspect to me is the clear impact it had on his ability to get outs. Shows how superior he thought he was to just waste a first pitch. Clase sucked at the beginning of the year and its because he was always behind in counts.

Moron.....and it absolutely contributed to a rocky start for his team.

McQuaide plays in 15th season
Former Ohio State long snapper Jake McQuaide’s NFL career officially reached 15 years on Sunday as he made his first game appearance of the season in the Los Angeles Rams’ 42-26 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Added to the Rams’ practice squad last week, McQuaide was elevated to the active roster for Sunday’s game. After he successfully handled snapping duties for all of the Rams’ six extra points and two punts, Los Angeles signed him to its active roster on Monday as a permanent replacement for its former long snapper, Alex Ward.

Now that he’s back in the NFL, McQuaide is once again tied with Cameron Heyward – who also started his NFL career in 2011 – for the longest-tenured former Ohio State player in the league. McQuaide’s reunion with the Rams, whom he spent his first 10 NFL seasons with after they signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2011, comes after stints with the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers over the last five years.

Nope, I don't remember him. But, with Bentley, that makes two washed up old formerly good/great LB's from the Giants who played for the Bengals in '92.

It's a bad match up for UCLA.

Their "strength" is a sporadically good offense and we all know their QB's story. His odds of success against our defense are low.

Their weakness, and its a glaring weakness, is their defense. They aren't going to be able to protect themselves.

Day has been throttling the offense so the scores keep staying in the high 30's but I just wonder if he isn't going to start stretching the O's legs just a little bit these last two tune up games.

I think there are a lot more ways OSU covers this one than ways that UCLA could cover.

It’s a good game to start with tempo and hit some big plays. With how inconsistent the OL has been, I’m hoping they’d play better with less standing around so they can get in a rhythm.

Hoping Tate is healthy, because I could see it being another Minnesota game plan, but against a worse team.

I'm glad you'll have good weather but I must admit a part of me wanted this game to be a snow-storm, so those surfer boys would get a real taste of Big Ten football. I could see them rubbing their arms in the 2nd quarter, hurrying to the locker room and then coming back out for the 2nd half with a "how long do we have to be here?" attitude.

I know exactly what you mean and loved the playoff game last year against Tenn. It’s going to be mild for hardened midwesterners but I’m guessing the bruins will be frosted over and ready to get back on the plane for SoCal.

Buckeye Huddle said they asked about him today and was told “no update”.

Not a great thing to hear as I wouldn’t think feeling tight but still being available to play would translate to an unknowable status on Tuesday. I’m wondering if they’re going to sit him another week out of caution and then get him some reps against Rutgers.

My hope is they've learned their lesson from their handling of JSN in 2022 and aren't going to risk bringing him back too early against tomato cans

I still think they are just posturing for a better cut.

Royal out and Mobley questionable??

So TCUN is against this deal.....Meanwhile, their ugly, shitty brand is all over TV in a variety of insurance commercials. Imagine that. A bunch of fucking sellouts throwing a hissy fit about the conference selling out, too. Arrogant and hypocritical twats. Same as it ever was.

Also, Jules Passer Rating, QBR, and Completion Percentage are all way above Simpson, and has more Touchdowns and Yards...

Click to expand...

Simpson is a very good QB who is mobile and makes good throws, but he’s really getting shoehorned in as a Heisman favorite because he’s on Bama.

He made some impressive throws against LSU, but missed a lot and made the job tougher for his WRs. And it’s not like LSU’s defense is a crack unit. Guys were open, he just missed them.

Given whats going on in the NBA and now MLB, maybe the SEC brass decided too much risk to keep him on.

I'm not one to totally believe in coincidences either....

CJ Bronaugh sounds like he wants to a Buckeye, I could see him being willing to come for less money. Said TCUN and Texas also want him to visit but he’s not sure he will make any other visits besides Ohio State.
Said he talks to Walton daily and Walton is excited to get him to campus this weekend.

Look like Tom Loy likes our chances. This may be what Hayes Fawcett was alluding to by end of week.

Jesus, Fields. What are we doing here?

It's one thing to see things, but understanding what they mean in terms of how coverage overlays with your route structure pre to post snap is huge.

Brownies are in cover 3. Jets are running a deep over with a dig behind it, abd your TE leak is coming from the YY back into the interior. So there's no flat cheese/release.

As a QB, you need to see and know these things.

- No travel with presnap motion usually means means zone/match zone


- no vertical threat or cheese to the YY side means that corner (circled in red) is going to scream into building his 1/3 integrity.





- Unless the single high clamps and moves with the Over cheese, the single high will turn that over to the corner building the 1/3 integrity.




- Single high will still work fast threats and turn inside, working towards routes that go upfield and break positive so he can drive on that route.





Hickmans understanding of his defensive structure and how it plays vs how the routes in front of him unfold is good. A LOT of wasted motion and stiff hips, but solid eyes.

Justin just takes these motions and tells for granted. He sees single high and rips the dig. Not understanding he has nothing to threaten that backside corner, so the single high doesnt have to follow the over route unless he just losses his eye disciple and fails to understand his defensive help. INT Fields.



It's year 5. I just... I don't know what to say anymore. He's as physically capable as any QB in the NFL. Mentally, his football processor and command in real time is training wheels.

I was charting plays for the Browns when I decided to watch some of the Jets offense. It's a cluster from both teams and I'm genuinely torn on which QB played worse.

Maybe it’s me but I immediately think there’s some type of cartel influence bc nobody can be that stupid, right??

While that has happened in the past, that does not seem to be the cast this time. Some people just want to, despite no need to, align with that cartel/mafia/gangster mentality, i.e. Ja Morant. The cell phone records show Clase was texting with these bettors during games, joking with them, getting them comp tickets, etc.

The most frustrating part is Clase appears to be how Ortiz got roped into this. Yes, Ortiz could have said no, but if not for Clase he would never have been involved. Clase has made some of his big time money and now Ortiz never will.

Betting on a pitch O/U of 97.95mph is just insane.

If Kelly’s lawyers/agent agreed to have the contract governed by the laws of Louisiana then (which they probably did) then he deserves what he’s about to get.

Click to expand...

this is Louisiana.
Kelly will get $77 million.
LSU will get get $45 million
the governor will end up $20 million richer
some judge will get a new Yacht
and the lawyers will double all of that combined.

and somehow at the same time, the money won't actually exist and won't come from anywhere and the state will also plunge deeper into debt to replace this money that they didn't steal from elsewhere.
