TPD: Ohio State thoughts on the Buckeyes offensive line, Caleb Downs impact on defense and more

[@supernerd9284]

I like the notebook. I understand that it must be challenging and awkward, but to make it work as well as you do in one take is a really cool behind the scenes look.

[@oldben1800]

Thing bout it is it used to be just walking around the facilities, now they are trying to swoop in on players all the time, when they were scheduled, so im guessing OSU is gonna put an end to that.

[@davidheller7364]

Yes, The Notebook is verrrrry cool - really enjoying that!!! Esp the CJ Hicks one!! Please keep doing it - I agree, you see the players and coaches in a different way (in a good way)

[@nickzav]

Feel better Birm!

[@RKA91]

Thanks Guys🎉GO BUCKS 😤💯

Got to love the Gwinnett County brotherhood and all these kids I’ve had the pleasure to watch as high schoolers

[@koryley8018]

You guys have me super excited for the game Saturday!! Now to listen to Kings of Columbus and KOTN!!

[@aaronbux1]

Hope you feel better Birm!

[@jrs_rankings]

Great episode!

[@markstandohar5977]

Birm: THE #1 problem this year is EXACTLY THAT - QB’s stepping up in pocket with wide open middle of field and scrambling untouched for 15 yards‼️Knowles has to make some adjustments big time

[@Yes10292]

As a buckey fan, it would be nice to see us live up to our potential. Can't claim i feel confident about new guys stepping up.

[@markt5746]

I think it was a blessing that the sickness went through the Oline this spring. Not sure we would have been as ready. A lot of the guys got more playing time than normal. Go bucks!

[@tonyr1950]

Ryan Day said earlier in the year, that this team would go as far as the offensive line would take them…..

[@jasong5776]

Apparently, the guys know the notebook is in potential jeopardy?

[@Kathylynne]

The OL issues this season reminds me of the QB issues back in 2014 and we know how that season turned out. Praying to the football God that this year works out the same.

[@oldben1800]

It was creepy hearing Birm say he heard Seth tell someone his Achilles felt tight after the Northwestern game. I hope he went and told someone after

Walked into work an all i can think about is the game 😂 O H

Yep I had faith when we lost our left tackle next man up I still predict an Ole miss/Ohio State Nattie!

[@jerrico001]

Go BUCKS! 🅾🌰🏈

[@bilalassaf3302]

We definitely can't allow Indiana to hang around until the 2nd half then try to wear them out like we do most opponents, Indiana's quarterback needs to be hit hard and early and as often as the refs would allow, and continue to hit them on both sides of the ball and special teams until we drive the point home and until they're convinced and their minds have been changed that there's no winning for them in C-Bus, and the Shoe is where many B1G team's dreams come to die.

[@davidwelsh8026]

The Shoe is where the Buckeyes dream will die this year.

[@crandall367]

Coach Cignetti will have his men ready to Rush on Offense….they are quarter 1 aggressive before Our Defense wakes up….. Go Bucks!! 🏈🏈🏈🏈👍🏼

Nonsense Austin - Birm is an absolute Stud-muffin and clearly you are just jealous‼️😎

[@1stDownScouting]

When Birm brings up a Luke Montgomery how come he says he brings ENERGY to describe him? Can he play? Not caring about all these intangibles. They've been hyping him up for 2yrs now. Get in there and PRODUCE!!

[@DougSheppardSr]

He is a true sophomore that had to gain 40+ pounds and learn a new position all while taking classes. He is not on an easy path to playing time.

[@markt5746]

He also said like Seth. That is pretty good.

[@djrh3690]

Birm…Don’t die yet

[@tonylightfoot588]

If Burke gets beat early do coaches have the guts to bench him? He is always behind a receiver or a receiver runs right by him!

[@Youngboss1024]

Indiana could beat us the same exact way that Oregon could. Losing the rushing battle, the turnover battle, not getting off the field on 3rd down and our corners getting wrecked in coverage over and over again.

[@djrh3690]

Defense MUST level up…play at a Championship level! Rushers MUST stop running past the QB…

[@Neil-qw9mz]

Very unfortunate what has happened to OSU OL this year. However, it highlights what we all have known, that Frye has not recruited depth and has not developed well. Day has given him too long of a leash because of their friendship

[@vox7350]

I'm tired of seeing comments that Igbinosun makes up for his mistakes. He only has 2 INTs and averages over a PI per game. PI's may not equal points on a 1:1 ratio, but they have bailed out average to poor offenses all season long and cost you games against good to elite teams. There's nothing wrong with being aggressive, but he can't grab, hold, or tackle the receiver out of bounds when he doesn't have the ball. That's sloppy technique.

[@heidelbergdawg6934]

You all are underestimating Indiana

[@mrnobunnyzone9433]

I'm pretty sure you all are underestimating the Buckeyes

[@James_Vocals]

No their not, We know exactly what they can do, But we know what these buckeyes do too, So calm down byd

[@mrnobunnyzone9433]

@@James_Vocals I've never went to a Indiana page or even once thought about it to get in the comments an tell them their gonna lose or their over confident which lets me know their excited about this year as they should be....but this is not new to us lol this is new to them an others who claim to be neutral but really wanna see the bucks lose.....we want our team to win of course...but never delusional about it

[@Dmb596]

Vegas must be underestimating Indiana also. You will find out what the difference is with James Madison players versus Ohio State Buckeye players!!! You're about to get boat raced 42-13. Go Bucks!!!

[@heidelbergdawg6934]

@Dmb596 I've been a buckeye fan for over 50 years. Day and Knowles never seem ready for a game

[@13kimosabi13]

I understand the TO narrative……but you both need to discover how many TO’s we had vs Bama and how many TO’s we had vs the Ducks in the 2014 season and yet we still won the Natty and most importantly WHY we could => still win it all……. It would help your growth and football acumen !
