Better have a plan for playing Posey to his strengths in the next two weeks, and I don't think he will be running the ball. This team needed him mid-season, it is clear that no passing game severely hamstrung this team.

sigh.....
I just got home from the game and I am at a loss for words when it comes to this team. There is absolutely no passion, no identity and no big plays occurring with this team.
Fickell and the staff have done nothing to put any sort of their own identity on this team. The team seems to be ill prepared to play and we always play to the level of the team we are facing that week whether it is up to Wisconsin or down to IU and Purdue.
The defense is a read and react system and totally lacks any aggressive nature. Shazier, sans the late hit, is the only one that seems to play with any passion. We constantly drop any opportunity to pick a pass (at least 5 I can easily think of) and rarely make a play to turn the tide on defense. Can we just fucking blitz, not a delayed blitz, but bring the fucking house. Can we man up on the line on the receivers and play some bump and run.
I sat in the stands and called 90-95% of the offensive plays based on down, distance, and formation. If I can do that, you have to believe the defense can. Of course when you throw 1 pass on first down all game and run 95% of the time to the left on first down it isn't that difficult. Where are the slants, where the shots over the middle, where are the screen passes, why does every route seem to be 20 to 30 yards down field on the outside? A lot of the yards we gained today seemed to come from individual efforts especially from the improvisation of Miller.
It is just time to move on from this staff and the drama that has been this season. We have twice the talent of a Purdue or an IU and certainly have enough to be a much better team with the proper leadership.

Leadership is the thing.
I don't think Ohio State is currently getting proper leadership from the Director of Athletics position on down (Compliance, Marketing, etc.). Maybe he's Lameduck, but there seems to be zero leadership coming from the administration right now.
But I keep thinking about if Braxton Miller is better in Week 12 than he is in Week 1. If the answer's "No" or "Same", then his position coach or offensive coach is doing a very bad job.

Watching the O play calling and improvement makes me wonder if JB wants LF to fail

just returned from the game. i could comment about many, many things. instead, i'll just comment about one:
you have a freshman quarterback who completes a woefully low percentage of passes over 25 yards. you are 3rd and very short. you call a pass play and...
send all the receivers on fly patterns? it would be one thing if braxton was meant to flee. he wasn't. instead, he stood in the pocket until he was brought down.

Be water my friend.
I'm tired.
5 Black and Tans in and I'm calling it a night. I'll put on the Blue Jackets game and chuckle a little and fall asleep. I am worn out with this season.
I'm tired of hearing about violations and the possibility of bowl bans. I'm tired of hearing/talking about how inconsistent this young team is. I'm frustrated and fatigued. And I haven't played a down.
I was talking to my wife about this...imagine how these players feel this year. They are the ones who have been riding the jagged edge all season. This guy is out. This guy is coming back. Nope, he's not, because new violations have surfaced. Who will be my coach next year? Who will be my position coach? Tress fired. The Nebraska game. Getting ripped all summer long by espn and anyone else with a microphone in front of their face. May not be going to a bowl. When will we know? Practice, travel, class, the expectations of Buckeye nation.
If we are tired of this season imagine how they feel. I have been as vocal a critic as anyone. Downright negative and today just sucked. I realized, I'm sick of football season right now and I thought, God, what if I had to get up and watch film tomorrow.
I don't know, maybe I'm just drunk. I really feel badly for these guys right now. Not Herron and Posey and Hall and Adams. Those guys are at fault for all the off field nonsense. I feel badly for all the guys that have put out this season and have been on an emotional roller coaster all season.
Today the team looked tired. Maybe the off season mess and uncertainty has caught up to them. Emotionally draining would be an understatement for the fans of this team, I can only imagine what it feels like to be a player. They aren't looking for excuses, but now you know you have a lame duck staff on top of everything else. The guys have to be whipped.
Sorry for the ramble. Tomorrow I'll be back to typing..."Seriously, not one screen pass?!?!?!?!?"
Good night all.
