ESPN is on now with Robert Smith in the studio and Joey Galloway on the phone, and they're saying Miller needs to play more wideout than H-back in preparation for the NFL because there aren't many H-backs in the NFL...

Because two different Ohio State QBs and an Ohio State recruit haven't dominated the sports news cycle for the last 48 hours, lets throw it over to all the Ohio State grads to discuss what Ohio State should do.

While they have a point, most of the QBs-turned-athlete that go to the NFL play very hybrid roles early on, and may eventually develop their route running into a Hines Ward (4th year 1k receiving).
I don't doubt route running is the skill that needs the most work/experience -- but most of these guys end up playing a role that's closer to Urban Meyer's pivot than it is to a traditional WR. At least in the beginning.

Random question. Does anyone know who is working as the second team Right Tackle? I Know Jamaica Jones is probably the first OT off the bench, but I was wondering how the freshmen were doing.

You're absolutely correct regarding Jamarco Jones. The freshmen are getting really good reviews so far....it's early, but they've been impressive.

Freshmen Offensive Linemen Already Turning Heads for the Buckeyes

15-08-10-FB-0039.jpg


The Buckeyes signed five offensive linemen in the 2015 recruiting class, which is a fairly large haul for a single class. It was understandable, however, because the 2015 OSU offensive line will be graduating three seniors after the season.

Because the current two-deep on the offensive line is littered with veterans, none of the true freshmen are expected to be relied upon this season, but that hasn't stopped them from hitting camp and impressing their teammates.

Speaking with the media on Wednesday, sophomore middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan was asked which freshmen on the team are standing out to him, and he didn't hesitate to mention the offensive line.

"Some of the young O-linemen," he answered quickly. "The O-linemen that we have didn’t really come in as developed as this line right now. They came in, they’re working hard, they’re playing fast. They’re really coming on."

Those linemen — Kevin Feder (6-9 305), Branden Bowen (6-7 320), Isaiah Prince (6-7 305), Grant Schmidt (6-6 300), Matthew Burrell (6-4 300) — came to OSU with varying degrees of ballyhoo, and so far the returns have been pretty good.

"Ooh, wow!" smiled Ed Warinner when asked about his rookies. "Great work habits, great size, great athleticism, appeared to have toughness and good demeanor today, and very coachable. High football I.Q.s. It wasn't like they didn't understand what was going on, so I think they all have the whole package. It's a pretty good group. They're big and athletic."
