This is a prime example of why people are pissed. It's not because they are spoiled or that they lack intelligence. This is poor coaching.

It just bothers me we are willing to play maybe a kid that’s the 50th most talented over more plays for Henry Jr for example. At least one can’t block a linebacker but can expose them down the field. The tight ends can’t block, they take a lot of penalties, and they aren’t the weapons as the WRs are in the throw game.

If you remove the extra tight end you remove a player from the box. Either way it works so why the fuck would we allow ourselves to put our 50th most talented player and remove maybe our 10-20th best player on offense.

It’s a trade I’d make all day if I was a DC. I know this will get eye rolls but this is why I think just because coaches have far more experience than fans sometimes they’re just wrong. There’s no way you can convince me that going 2-4 tight ends is the way to go. Who cares about more running lanes if there’s just people in those running lanes. Not to mention I think when you spread teams out you can identify the pressure better anyhow.

Brody Lennon, TE5, played an offensive snap Saturday. That's one more than Khary Wilder, one more than 6'5" 5-star QB Tavien St. Clair - hey, did you know the Buckeyes had a 1st and Goal at the six-inch line? - and one fewer than future Heisman Trophy winner Legend Bey.

Lennon got into the game and lined up improperly, drawing an illegal formation flag. One snap, minus-five yards. He also appeared on kickoff returns, where combining Ohio State’s disastrous tight ends with its calamitous special teams produced the following reeeeeeeeemix.




That’s Lennon waving his arm before Kyle Parker catches the kickoff. Earlier in the week, Day compared Parker to Emeka Egbuka; on Saturday, Parker got two offensive snaps and a teammate - TE5 - who should have been credited with tackling him.

That invalid fair-catch signal left Ohio State at its own 14, with neither a return nor the usual trip to the 25 available. Combine that with Lennon’s offensive appearance and you have five penalty yards plus 11 yards of forfeited starting field position. That's some production line from TE5.

Sixteen yards surrendered through two different misunderstandings of where to stand and what to do with your arms. A sophomore making mistakes is ordinary, but a staff repeatedly expanding the responsibilities of players it hasn’t prepared to handle them is the concern. If you're trusting that guy...God help the guys you don't trust.

Lennon’s 12 offensive snaps this season wouldn’t ordinarily justify this much space, but he’s part of a larger commitment. Bennett Christian played 20 snaps Saturday and has 97 this year. Max LeBlanc missed USC with an injury but has played 73.

One of the scheme experts who pores over Ohio State film all year described Christian’s workload to me as a war crime, which seems excessive until you remember how often Jeremiah Smith gets removed to accommodate these packages.

The program keeps asking this room to supply the blocking that makes its preferred offense possible, then keeps producing game film that invites the same questions. The coaches still trust these players enough to put them on the field. Here’s how Day described what they’ve been getting in return when Cleveland.com’s Stephen Means asked about the group Tuesday.

Can't trust a dude who goes by the name "Brody". This is a widely known fact.
