In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr recap a busy Monday at Ohio State. They spoke with Ryan Day, Jeff Hafley, Jonathon Cooper, Josh Myers, and Jordan Fuller. Day spoke about what the Buckeyes did during the off week. Hafley talked about eliminating explosive plays and about not talking about the NFL Draft with his players. And the players talked about a bunch of interesting stuff as well, including how Fuller gets bored playing in this defense. All of this and much, much more, including a show announcement.

+ We talked to Ryan Day, Jeff Hafley, Jordan Fuller, Josh Myers, and Jonathon Cooper.
+ Jordan Fuller gets bored at safety.
+ Imagine somebody saying that last year.
+ Your defense is pretty good if your deep safety gets bored.
+ This is a bend-but-don’t-break defense that isn’t bending all that much either.

+ Hafley isn’t talking to Shaun Wade about the NFL, he’s talking to him about where he needs to improve.
+ People are finally discovering what we’ve been saying forever — Shaun Wade is good.
+ There has been talk about moving Wade outside and Arnette inside at times.
+ Recruiting in the Transfer Portal era.
+ Ryan Day isn’t holding a spot for a possible transfer, but they do monitor it during the season.

it seems we are enjoying a wealth of good news.
with success comes ‘problems’ as well… like finding PT for all those players who are ‘ready’ but need PT opportunities.
so…
why would we want to “shorten” games at any time? Rather, how about going as fast as we can to develop ‘game conditioning’, ‘momentum sustaining’, and most of all… more plays / game which will >> opportunities for our guys?
