JJ is rightfully frustrated. I get it. Especially with the start he has with Julian.
That said Birm wasn’t wrong by saying he was acting like a child. He sort of was.
But again, I get it. Neither are wrong

They aren't even 21 yet.
Needs more frontal lobe
and more understanding from older guys who were just fucking like that once (emotionally)

He’s a fierce competitior that is on a different level than everyone else around him. Completely understand the frustration. He sets a standard for himself that others are not meeting. And things are crumbling around him (wins, titles, awards). He just wants to win and wears it.
Can also hope/believe he’s going to learn to deal with this adversity better going forward (at Ohio State or in the NFL). Other people have let him down far more to get where we are. But he’ll learn that’s life - especially at a position that relies on so many others (coaching, OL, QB).
Learning experience for a young guy. Still love him.

Agree with this take. Of course he’s pissed. They’re not winning and he’s not being given enough opportunities to help change the game. But that passion and anger needs to be channeled firing up his team, and, rather than screaming to the sidelines, working with Fahey and assistants to come up with ideas on how to get him involved. The only really disappointing moment was him tapping out of a play and not blocking when Fahey scrambled in the red zone.
Unfortunately when it comes to captains, I’m pretty sure most are in name only. Should’ve known that 7 captains means only 1 or 2, with the hope was that the rest would embody the role when given the responsibility. Isn’t the first or last time it’s happened.

And out of nowhere, and based on a less-than-stellar performance in a key game, in a conference with only two teams that care about football, Carr enters the Heisman discussion.
No wonder Smith is pissed. You can't win a Heisman if you don't touch the ball.

If only we had a creative OC who could scheme ways to get him touches. Maybe if he was the Coke bottle cap….

Tressel also addressed the frustration Jeremiah Smith has shown on the field and on the sidelines during Ohio State’s back-to-back losses.
“I’ve been around their practices,” he said. “I try to get there every two or three weeks. I have never seen anyone who works like him. I’ve never seen anyone so respectful with his teammates. … I was standing there one day at practice three weeks ago, with the rest of the hangers-on. He’s out there running routes. All of a sudden he peeled off and ran over and shook my hand. He said, ‘I always wanted to meet you.’ And then he ran back. … He cares very deeply about Ohio State and winning at Ohio State. It frustrates him when we don’t win. It frustrates all of us.”

High praise from Tress. He recruited and coached very high character, tough, hard-working kids.
To standout in his eyes is special. Just wish the story could have ended with more wins for Jeremiah here. But there’s still a big Game for him to take care of, if he wants.

It seems everyone believes Jeremiah was yelling at the sidelines. When I first saw it I wondered if a DB was taunting him and he was yelling back at them. That, to me anyway, would be much a more reasonable reaction by the young man. If anyone has any insight I would appreciate hearing it.
I haven't come close to reading all of the responses to his reaction to whatever was going on so this may have been covered. If so, I apologize.
