You know what I want to see? The power I formation and a reliable pocket passer. I want to see an offensive line that is capable of pass protection and knocking defenders on their asses in the running attack. I want to see a qb that goes through his reads rather than looking at his primary reciever then taking off. I want to see a championship calibur defense get some help from the other side of the ball. I want to see a vicious ground attack setting up play action passes from a qb that can see the rush coming when it is right in front of his face. I want a qb that didn't violate NCAA rules and buddy up to someone that has hurt this program in so many ways.
There is a reason a guy like Zwick has not been successful here. Without protection from his line a pocket passer has no pocket from which to pass. No, the play calling is not the problem. The problem is that Jim Tressel has concentrated on skill players and neglected to stock the most important position on the team: The offensive line. Now we are wasting one of the best defenses this school has ever fielded, a world class recieving tandem and frittering away the potential of a qb that could have been one of the best to ever step onto the field at the Shoe.
Tressel needs to get back to real football. Recruit players that will be able to line up and establish the line of scrimmage. We need to get back to smacking teams in the mouth rather than trying to spread them out and run around them. If we want wasted potential we should have just kept Coop around.
