QB Troy Smith - 2006 Heisman Winner - (Baltimore Ravens)

when the game was on the line smith had urine running down his leg....


guess what.....WOW...troy smith drove the team to another pure garbage td.....

anyone arguing for smith after this game needs to go follow another sport.....unless you really get your rocks off by seeing some pathetic piece of [censored] do one thing right against second stringers as the clock expires...


THE SOONER TROY SMITH TRANSFERS....THE BETTER THE CHANCES FOR OHIO STATE....AND HE CAN TAKE SANTONIO WITH HIM...

anyone notice that the only time the buckeyes moved the ball all day was when troy's best friend was on the bench and gonzales(sp), hall, hamby and lyons were in the receiving mix???

tell me you watch enough to notice that.....

i think the non-swearing has built up something in Di's head....causing blockages from his brain to his fingers.

Similar to the experience Homer had in the 'Angry Dad' episode

Actually Smith did show something. He was pretty good at hitting the short passes. A lot better than Zwick has been. We can't run and don't really have time to throw deep. We need to spread the defense out a bit with the short passing game. Also, if were going to have to have the QB run because of lack of protection I would rather it be Smith.

In regards to the comment about rolling out of the pocket...

The thing I see when I watch our offense is that defenses attack the run and the pass the same way. They don't care what kind of play we call. Their defensive line stunts up field and is able to blow up our running and passing plays with equal aplomb. This is where the scheme comes in. We have to be able to punish the opposing defenses when they play that way. Traditionallly misdirection, screens, draws, reverses and rolling out of the pocket can help against these things. IMO, it is not coincidence that Tressel rarely calls these plays.

DiHard,

dude i know you are [censored]ed but go jump off a cliff. This is a bigger problem than Troy, Santonio, or Zwick. Its a system problem.

And you look stupid by cussing out someone who will never see this post.

The passes he looked good on were against a cover 4...in other words, the defense was giving those up and keeping everything in front.

I agree about the rollout, etc....without the running game, there has to be some type of moving pocket/slip screen/bubble routes. <<cough FSU cough>>

Misdirection is tough though...penetration kills misdirection all day. As we all see, the OL is getting penetrated like a stockbroker in prison

He was pretty good at hitting the short passes.

the only short passes i saw him throw were the first one too far in front incomplete and the second too far behind which resulted in a loss.

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

Imagine this..

Smith actually throws a spiral!

and, he looks for other receivers.

He started out in the worst possible situations, so you people making these "he sucks" claims should give him a chance to play when his team isn't already down by 17 points bc of a lackluster sorry ass QB that was in front of him.

edit for name calling

I was specifically referring to 2 times he threaded the needle to hit Hamby over the middle.

Edit - A bit more explanation. These were both for less than 15 yards, I'm not talking about the long Nicol pass for TD. One of them may have been on the final drive agaisnt the 2nd stringers but the first definitely wasn't.

It's not like he rallied the troops to victory. But, I think he earned a start next week. As far as I am concerned, the Zwick era is over.

As far as I'm concerned, there never was a Zwick era.

I would have said penetrated like Bret at the YMCA but a stockbroker in prison works.

At this point in the season, I am in total agreement with JC that TS should get at least a start to see what he can do....my question with that however, is if JT will cater the offense to his strengths. TS playing the same vanilla offense designed for a 6'5 dropback passer will not work. TS in a one back set...either trips or pro twins, run the hell out of the Read play, roll the kid out, and flood the zone.

[censored] gimme the phone...I'm calling 1460....nevermind its long distance
