Nope but he has never offered the info so nobody pushes the issue....

I figured that might be the case. I hope everything is on the up and up if you know what I mean. And that's all I've got to say about that.
Anyways, no one can deny execution can plague a struggling offense. But if you don't keep some sort of element of surprise, (meaning keeping defenses in the dark) the best O-lines in the universe will have problems blocking.

Why is it teams like Wisky and scUM can run the same plays from the same formations then? The scheme is fine...hell yes I'd like to see more flavor to it, but if an offense cannot execute the basic plays of football, why would they prosper in something flashier?
Nothing is clicking...counters, playaction, ISOs, sweeps. The execution must improve before the team can even think about trying anything new

I hope Tressel is the OSU coach as long as he's lucid (I have a man crush on him, does anyone else?). But whether we win the rest of our games this year, or we become National Champs again, I'd like JT to EVENTUALLY give the OC duties up. My complaint dates back to 2001 because JT just doesn't establish any type of rythem to the play calling unless it's dire straits (the game situation, not the band). Again, I love the man, but his strong suit is not an offensive mind, rather it's being a head coach. Just my opinion.

HaHaHA. No, not them! JT has a much better head of hair than Mark Knoffler. And don't forget the tan complexion Tressels has, yummy.
I'm only kidding about the Man Crush thing,
You guys believe me right?

Will JT address the zone-blocking and no sled issue during the season or will he wait until after the season? The zone-blocking must go but I'm worried about JT's comment that he is not an expert in o-line coaching and he trusts that the job will get done! Very scary given that JB has only been anywhere for a max of 3 years. Is JT too loyal to JB to assign a new o-line coach with straight ahead, normal blocking schemes after the season. I hope not especially with the good o-line recruits coming in.

Does anybody else remember when Cooper's O-line coach, Jacob's was being tard and feathered.
I don't think Bollman and his lack of sleds are the only problem here.
