People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

Here’s a good one. Call the dealership to get my car in for service. Tell them what’s going on.

“Would you like to get that in for service” :lol:

"No. I thought this was a car owners therapy hotline. I just wanted to tell you about it. I'm going to have it fixed at the other place but I feel a lot better after talking it through with you. Thanks"

Game Thread #1 tOSU at Purdue, Sat. Nov. 8th, 1 pm ET, BTN

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but, is anyone else feeling a bit...bored? It's like we're sleepwalking through this season just waiting on The Game ad the Playoff after. I've never felt this way but it's, kind of awesome.
These games really do feel like scrimmages where we're working out issues with the run game

A gigantic human being.

I almost ran into him, literally walking and nearly took a moving brick wall to the face as it happens lol, walking to class one day.
This was my experience walking towards a freshman Chase Young on campus

I get it….CJ is also known for pass protection so I honestly think they thought they could get a “free” 5-6 yards but as we’ve seen, nothing is “free” in this run game.

I truly think the thought process there, is we get at least 5 on 1st we’re getting aggressive on 2nd and 3rd and looking for a TD (at a minimum they go tempo to push pace).

1st down goes poorly we’re working game clock, and at most looking for a FG. They’d have worked the clock close to a minute left and still had 2nd and 3rd down. The fumble obviously wrecked that plan.
I like this except it doesn't account for my personal hatred of those assholes, and I don't know why Ryan Day hasn't made it clear to the entire coaching staff that BuckeyeNation27 wants 199-0.

Also, the game intelligence and processing speed to maximize the athletic talent. He’s a poster child for the Developed Here motto. Bringing him along relatively slowly and then getting him real minutes last year is making him a top ten, at least, pick in his first year as a starter. He clearly bought in and was willing to put in the work. Just outstanding, but it sucks that we’ll only have him for one year as a starter.

In a vacuum, I agree. You go with a run or a Trevyeon Henderson screen to see if you can get anything worth a shit with the rest of the time you have. But in that moment with this team against that dumpster sludge team.....run the offense like normal and try to at least get into FG range. Running CJ "my next broken tackle will be my first" Donaldson on first down better not be part of the normal offense.

That’s the beauty with Arvell…his technique is off the charts combined with his versatility.

I think my favorite play this year, was his fake pass rush against Washington where he came down hard like he was on the blitz, only to hit the brakes, sit down for a split second, and then become a spy that eventually chased Demond Williams down.

What a nightmare.

Kid is a freak.

I didn’t like the play call either but saying it was “going soft” in that moment is a little off, IMO.

A lot of play callers call a similar play in that situation, hoping defense is playing pass and you pick up a decent chunk of yards on 1st down to set-up a manageable 2nd down.

Assuming he doesn’t fumble, they take play clock down, and likely look to throw on 2nd down but have used a chunk of game clock so if 2nd down goes poorly, you stay conservative on 3rd, punt, and take it to half up 17-7 which isn’t terrible.

But if that play goes for 5-6 yards, they’d have gone tempo knowing they had 2nd and 3rd down to pick up a manageable distance.

Anyways, the run game hasn’t been great…CJ’s momentum had been stopped and I also don’t believe it should’ve been a fumble, had officials blown whistle properly. That said, u can’t lose the rock there….its the last thing you can do in that situation.

Brugler said when he releases his next top 50 Reese is going to be #1
I have been watching tape on Reese and he is the most dominant defender since Chase Young for sure. Somehow he has the strength to easily move offensive lineman, and the speed of an elite linebacker. The way he uses his unique strength and leverage is a thing of beauty. IMO he should be rushing the passer a bit more, but he is capable of pass coverage, or spying a mobile qb. Just an insane package.
