Quick Hits: Chip Kelly Says Ohio State Will “Start to Hone In On” a QB Pecking Order Soon, Devin Brown Calls the Competition “No Different Than Last Year”​

148210_h.jpg


The second Quick Hits of Ohio State's 2024 season has arrived.

After an article that covered comments from Emeka Egbuka, Jack Sawyer and Denzel Burke at Big Ten Media Days, Eleven Warriors' fast-paced bullet-point recaps of Ohio State's coach and player availabilities makes its preseason camp debut with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and the Buckeyes' quarterbacks, who met with the media after OSU’s fifth practice of camp on Tuesday.

Among the topics discussed on the Woody Hayes Athletic Center indoor practice field, Kelly said Ohio State will "start to hone in" on a quarterback pecking order soon, Will Howard discussed how he would lead Ohio State's offense this fall, Devin Brown and Lincoln Kienholz talked about their growth this offseason and freshmen Julian Sayin and Air Noland described how they've settled in after seven months on campus.
  • Kelly said there isn’t a pecking order at quarterback yet but that Ohio State will likely “start to hone in on that” by the end of this week. He claimed that people should not read into Howard getting most of the first-team reps at Sunday’s practice, as the Buckeyes are still rotating quarterbacks between units.
  • Kelly said he thinks Howard knows the offense better now than he did in the spring and is throwing the ball more confidently as a result. “I think Will has done a really good job really working on the playbook in the offseason, studying film so that he understands when there’s a play call made that he knows where to go with the football.”
  • Kelly said Sayin “stays in the moment,” which Kelly likes. “If he throws a bad ball, it doesn’t bother him. If he throws a good ball, he doesn’t get overexcited and say, ’Hey, I just arrived.’”
  • All five of Ohio State’s scholarship quarterbacks have been timed running faster than 20 miles per hour, Kelly said. Howard has been clocked running faster than 22 miles per hour.
  • Kelly said Day showed the Buckeyes the video of Noah Lyles coming from behind to win the Olympic 100-meter dash on Sunday. “Coach Day showed that in a meeting, talked about where he was and how he finished. There was a great lesson there.”

Meaning: It doesn't matter which QB we start, your asses are all in the crosshairs!

Anybody else relieved to hear Chip is gonna be in the booth? When there was a suggestion he may be on the sideline, I was seriously concerned.

I honestly was thinking the same when he said he’d be on the field at first. I’d rather my OC be watching the game perched above the game Seeing everything

I said this in the game thread. He was probably only using 1/10th of the playbook. Akron was treating us as their bowl game. No need to panic. As Thump said, we won by 46. We'll get better.

I also think this game and probably the next couple will be more about getting the new guys comfortable. I'm sure there are some of Chip Kelly's concepts that they want to get some work in on too. Tried and true concepts from Days playbook that are designed for some the returning starters are probably going to need to be worked on less.

It was freaking Akron

Did you watch the GA game? That’s what a championship O Line looks like

I saw nothing today that gives me confidence that it’s fixed

Granted, we had about 500 feet of shit to climb up through after that embarrassing showing against Mizzou, I just fooled myself this offseason into thinking we had made big strides

I didn’t see it today

If we were playing..... Let's say Texas, we would look better. Again, it was Akron. Not showing our cards.

There were some concepts where the Buckeyes looked so good, it made me think those things might be what Ryan Day was talking about when he referred to "our fastball". An example would be the pin-and-pull power sweep with two linemen leading the RB around the end. When we ran that the zips were utterly helpless.

If that is their fastball, then Ohio State just beat Akron by 46 using only their changeup.

Am I 100% satisfied with how it looked?

Of course not.

As for the Dawgs. *yawn* This was a chalk opening day for most of college football. Kirby Smart teams start the season fast. In 2022 they beat Oregon 49-3 on opening day while the Buckeyes only put up 21 points on Notre Dame. At the end of the year, the Buckeyes and the Dawgs were neck and neck as the 1-point differential testified. I like the odds of that happening again this year. And oh by the way... other slow starting teams... like those Ducks... yeah they started slow this year too.

Of course I'd prefer the Buckeyes start the season rolling. They don't. Oh Well.

You mean the 2022 team with 2 OT that are now playing in the league?

My point was this OL still looks troubling

Well…. I was responding to someone else, but if you want me to address that point…

First: I agree with that point to the extent that you make it in this post

But in other posts you appear to have drawn conclusions that I think it’s too early to draw, especially given the circumstances of the game which have been covered by others ad nauseum.

This is the last I’ll say on the topic as I have no interest in it

Perhaps it's the fact that the OL and DL battled some health issues in camp (foot and mouth virus). They'll improve. Hopefully fast enough before we travel to Eugene.
