Some interesting points between these two videos, plus some of my own thoughts.

1. Expect the offense under Smith to look a lot like the 2019 offense - heavy zone/stretch run scheme with play action deep shots and boot legs (obviously Sayin is a bit different physically/athletically than Fields, which impacts how much you can or want to do with him running around).
2. Possibly the biggest problem with the Stealers offense this past season was that Rodgers was ineffective throwing the deep ball (plus a lack of threats outside of Metcalf who was just double teamed), which eliminated a major component of how Smith likes to attack a defense.
3.The zone/stretch run scheme puts more stress on a defense deciding between extra defenders covering Smith on one side and covering the stretch run on the other side because there are more possible running lanes that need filled (compared to gap run schemes).
4. It is easier to audible between run plays in a zone/stretch run offense with less pulling from the OL and (theoretically) less things for them to screw up, combined with Sayin in year two, expect him to have more on his plate when it comes to audibles this year.
5. It is without question that Smith has significantly more experience and established effectiveness incorporating TEs and a FB into the offense compared to Hartline, which, based on the portal moves, will continue to be the plan.
6. Day is looking to duplicate the situation he had with Kelly - an OC who can implement effective run game schemes on top of Day’s passing schemes, as well as an experienced guy who can be trusted with game preparation through the week and calling plays on game day. This is basically the opposite of what he had with Hartline last year, and Day made a strong move to correct that.
7. It seems like success on offense will depend on a veteran OL being able to establish an identity and consistent effectiveness zone blocking, with Sayin helping out with effective audibles and stressing the defense down the field (with an emphasis on play action passes).

Seems like a solid plan building on Ohio State’s strengths combined with the expertise of the new OC.

It feels really well thought out with a clear idea of what Day wants that duplicates past successes in 2019 and 2024.

Did I mention I am not an attorney, I am not a CPA, and this should not be construed as tax not legal advice. I really don't want to go to jail at my age. And my wife said she didn't want me to go to jail either, which kind of shocked me.

I'm sorry, I've not made it to the advanced classes in my major. I'm still working on the "Choosing Positivity 135" curriculum. Then into "Bitching Up 200." Once that's done I'll be able to enroll in the "Learn Legal 500" sequence.

@Mike80 has to pay taxes on the revenue so up to him, but I'd be asking you guys to work with me to keep it as close to break even as possible.

I wouldn't imagine it to be a huge amount but easy for us to say when it's not our tax bill

Candidly, for as much fun as that may have been, I think that the potential legal issues for the individual in charge outweigh the potential fun. There's significantly greater potential for loss than there is for gains. To that end, govern yourself accordingly.
