TPD: Chip Kelly's influence on the Ohio State offense, thoughts about the linebackers and more 

I'm with Birm, I can't stop thinking about this Chip Kelly offense. It's absolutely disgusting. It's a cheat code. I love it. Kelly is gonna be a runaway train for the Broyles Award.

Birm, you're onto something. Ohio State's defensive line just needs to play fundamental, stop the run defense on 1st and 2nd downs. Then, they'll be in a better position to get after the QB if it's 3rd and long when the QB has to hold the ball longer.

I got off rivals message board cuz the kind of people Birm spoke of. They are not interested in positive dialogue and can’t put anything into context. Hot take central.

I understand teams getting rid of the ball quickly. It makes it impossible to get a sack. Sacks in that case don't mean anything. The problem I saw on Saturday was when certain defensive linemen left their responsibility and left an open lane for the qb to run. Also, part of the first half issues falls on Knowles and the defenses he called. Leaving to much cushion on their receivers, 5 in the box against 7 making it easy to run. Thats on him. In the second half he made different calls and made it difficult on Marshall. Maybe he did that purposely because Marshall is an inferior opponent. But he can't afford to do that for an entire half against better competition. We'll see what he does this week. MSU is certainly not the cream of the big ten, but they are better than our first 3 opponents.

The sack excuse is almost BS, at the end of the day, the team we're about to play has I believe 15 sacks in 4 games.

Sunshade/Visor for Brandon Inniss please

Confuse rather than beat the defense? So, this explains our stand-up, let the d-line get under the o-line's pads, surrendering leverage blocking techniques? Zone blocking that says its okay to surrender leverage, just lean-on and try to turn the defender away from the hole. If my assessment is correct, won't better athletes be much more likely to blow up these block as they have been doing over the past couple of years? I wish someone with inside knowledge on how our o-line is taught would tell me what is going on.

“Austin siereveld is playing like an edible taco” only birm 😂

You can’t have contextual conversation with the 5% of the nut case fan base

Austin wants a free prime rib carving station at every Big Ten game. Birm just wants them to cater Taco Bell chalupas.

Sonny isn't good over hype

The aggravation is more than just sacks. There's no pressure even when there's a drop back. And if he's getting rid of it so fast, WHY ARE OUR CORNERS 10 YARDS OFF THE RECEIVERS

Could it be that Austin and Boren are part of the issue. That rant on the defense was all about no pressure which completely skewed the reality.

Marshalls quarterback Stone Earl didn't play in the second half that's why you didn't see those drives Ohio State's defense didn't magically get better.

You know, if you're ultra cheap, you could just go in on one month of Peacock for $7.99 with some friends, like a PPV. Then, just cancel before it renews.

Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like, ya know how a qb is taught to throw the ball to a receiver where he's gonna be not where he's at, I feel like that's how sonny styles plays lb, like he never goes and gets them he waits to see where they're gonna go and then goes there and tries to tackle them and their momentum takes them 3 yds. He's not decisive or sudden at all. He needs a lot of work. I wouldn't be mad if reeves replaces him permanently

ryan angry day

This press box food info is the juice I need, great segment today fellas

I know this sounds crazy but I seriously think ohio state in the off season needs to try no matter what to get Cam Heyward or Aaron Donald on the coaching staff too bring in excitement to the D-Line

@Garrick Hodge. Love your thoughts and ideas….BUT….open your eyes and look up at the camera sometimes. Your current MO is sooo distracting…

pop quiz, if chip kelly exceeds your expectation, what do you do? what do you do?

We just Need to Fix the middle of The D and get the offensive line take another step every week Overall i feel good but the fact we were down at any point to marshall is ignorance

The game is on Peacock??!! Hellll no. hard pass. I`ll catch the replay on RU-vid.

Michigan State has the BEST pretzels I’ve ever had at a stadium!!! I was there two years ago and it was incredible……. That’s actually part of the reason I’m going back up there this Saturday!!! Go Bucks and Go Pretzels!!!!!

Reese in my opinion is like Downs but at LB. Natural and fluid. Watching Reese play LB makes Sonny Hicks and Cody seem late. Reese earned it figured it out and should be starting. Period

It’s obvious Birm doesn’t care because he’s wrong lol. We don’t have 5 sacks in 3 games we have 9!

The LB mess also goes back to S&C gaffes - Coach Mick shrunk Simon down too much, he looks like a Safety and Styles was not built up enough to hold up against run game as a LB…This defense will get steamrolled again by strong run game opponents

Exactly, Birm. I've often wondered how the much better a talented O would look under a great O scheme too. And now we're seeing it. Looks pretty gosh darn good!

Combining two of my favorite things in this episode. Buckeye Football and Food. Thumbs up

Why would NBC cut its legs off?Of its prime time match up with penn state in illinois? That's the one game I would have watched besides the buckeyes To put them in the same time slot is stupidity. And it's not a home game for us so it doesn't help with getting our recruits in

Birm is very honest with his takes and this makes him the most liked on the podcast. I enjoy listening to him on these podcasts. Arvel is absolutely the best linebacker.

OMG Birm ……. “ Playing like an edible taco !!!! Lmao …. Too funny 😅😂😂

Birm the magic word is "You" anything after that becomes personal and will draw a penalty.

Its the DE playing too wide and taken bad angles. The LBs got to step up and not allow the OL to get the jump on them.

Are you 2 afraid that Ryan Day will not call on you at press briefings?? Truthfully - Sonny Styles looks lost at LB. Josh Fryar allowed the sack didn’t even get a hit on the rusher. Why is Jack Sawyer standing like a LB? When are you going to turn Downs lose? These are questions!

I think Sonny and Arvell will be the starters in the coming weeks.

A dubs you’re my guy but you gotta stop complaining so much. Not a good vibe

Edible Taco. Austin is a big big Taco.😂😂😂And Tegra an even bigger one.

Most jobs dont provide food, eat before and stop crying

All of the tacos!

Ty!! Love you both! Go Bucks!

This guy has a whiny voice each take

The Buckeyes look very vulnerable on defense. Confused and uncertain. It was fortunate for the D that Marshall's QB was injured. Not saying Marshall would have come close to a win, but they were able to put our superior talent on their heels for 2 quarters with a competent QB. I hope I am wrong, but I am afraid we are going to get exposed real soon...on both sides of the ball.

How can you beat the desk for inexperienced guys to get more reps, then complain when those inexperienced guys dont look experienced? Especially in the 1st drive of the game? Then on top of that, Marshall comes with a game plan unlike what theyve put on film. The bottom line is, as the game went on and the D-Line settled down enough to finish the game only giving up a controversial end of 1st half td with a second half shut out. On top of that, the inexperieced guys gained some real game action and can see on film the "WHY" of their assignments to be better prepared on their next go round. So where's the disconnect? Is there lack of faith in the coaching staff to make needed corrections, because Knowies certainly seems engaged.

Go BUCKS! 🅾🌰

GO BUCKS😤💯

Go Bucks

OSU is about to destroy Sonny's career by forcing him in a square peg where he doesn't fit. They need to find the right place for him, and get over the hype about him. We've seen two impacts from this type of failure Steel C and X Johnson. Where are they now? Besides, the coach owes us to ensure the right people are in the right positions.

AW => OSU wasn’t beating LSU with Burrow leading their team. The officiating was poor in our Semifinal game vs Clemson but => JK Dobbins lost that game all by himself. Not sure if he got tired or banged up or was paid off or had money on the game but JKD was responsible, so hold him accountable not the refs!

do you think ryan is jealous of chip that he calls better spread offense?

Cry a river. Fans get way worse experience than you
