Ross FultonGUEST
But I do think, you know, when we focus a lot on, like, more, more, more 11 personnel, um, that it is, uh, there are limit- It does limit a bit what you can do in the run game, and so there are trade-offs, um, versus having, uh, two tight ends on the field that open up some more variation and, and more gap schemes, plays in particular.
Tom OrrHOST
Well, this next one, they are in 12 personnel, and the two tight ends are Jake Cook and Max LeBlanc.
Tom OrrHOST
Probably not the two tight ends you would have had on your bingo card earlier in the year, but this was later in the game, so you're playing some of your, some of your guys who are maybe a little further down the, uh, down the line.
Tom OrrHOST
LeBlanc in that fullback position.
Stefan KrajisnikHOST
Yeah.
Stefan KrajisnikHOST
It's also too, like if we're talking about the room in its entirety, like when you see some of the struggles these guys have, it's also like, is it worse for Max LeBlanc out there? Or is it time to maybe give him some more snaps and at least let him get some experience and get some reps if you don't think it's going to be that much better? I don't know.
Stefan KrajisnikHOST
I'm not at practice to know exactly what Max LeBlanc's doing.
Stefan KrajisnikHOST
I know he does get snaps occasionally on Saturdays, so he's doing enough to play.
Stefan KrajisnikHOST
And as Ryan Day showed on Tuesday, earning the trust to play is a thing in and of itself, and Max has obviously done that.
RyanHOST
Um, it, it's a better and healthier spot to be in, um, but still would probably like to have tight ends who are capable of blocking on the roster.
RyanHOST
Um, speaking of which, why is Max LeBlanc playing so much? Uh, [chuckles] he had the third most snaps among tight ends behind Mason Williams and Nate Roberts.
RyanHOST
Um, I, I know Bennett Christian's still been dinged up, but like why are we playing Max LeBlanc? What, what's the point of that?
KevinHOST
Yeah.
KevinHOST
Yeah, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Mark PorterGUEST
Tressel used to call it Dave.
Mark PorterGUEST
There's Max LeBlanc on a kick out block.
Mark PorterGUEST
You're gonna see Montgomery leading free for the first unblocked guy, probably the linebacker.
Mark PorterGUEST
How about Brock Boyd coming in and blowing up the safety or the linebacker here and pinning him inside? And then Jacoby Jackson does what you have to do.
Juck MilettiHOST
All right, Ryan Day's all in on this.
Juck MilettiHOST
So what are you doing in the portal when you lose your most talented tight end, Angelani Thurman, and you've got left Bennett Christian and – Max LeBlanc and Nate Roberts.
Juck MilettiHOST
That's who you got.
Juck MilettiHOST
You know, Nate's an emerging star.
Juck MilettiHOST
So the Buckeyes will have another blue-chip tight end coming in in Luke Sahida.
Juck MilettiHOST
and sahida and lauder they're bigger dudes so now they're still trying to get a you know a smaller kind of more h-back type um and and that's great so if you bring one of those in perfect but this is more about the portal you've got to bring in higher quality guys in the portal and i do think that they understand that and they're going to be looking for one come january uh it's going to be a better a different tale than we're used to seeing here um with the portal tight ends so Anyway, the weird thing to me is when we talk about these tight ends, Bennett Christian not playing very good.
Juck MilettiHOST
Bennett Christian goes down and all of a sudden we're seeing both Max LeBlanc and Hunter Welsing playing.
Juck MilettiHOST
Now, last year's philosophy, they said, look, we got five tight ends that are good enough to play.
Lyle AlensteinHOST
I also thought as far as the run blocking, I thought the tight ends looked a little better in this one.
Lyle AlensteinHOST
Max LeBlanc did whiff on a pass passing play.
Lyle AlensteinHOST
So there was that one.
Lyle AlensteinHOST
Bennett Christian was available, but he did not go in this one after being sidelined last week against Illinois.
Zach SmithHOST
Well, I can look it up.
Kris DrewHOST
I don't remember, 'cause I remember Max LeBlanc.
PatPANELIST
He had a catch.
Kris DrewHOST
Yeah.
Juck MilettiHOST
After the game he had last week, he catches one.
Juck MilettiHOST
Max LeBlanc comes in and doesn't play many snaps, but did get a target, and he was one for one, as was Isaiah West.
Juck MilettiHOST
That was it.
Juck MilettiHOST
Because in this game, Julian Sane only passed the ball 26 times and Ohio State rushed the ball 43 times.
Tom OrrHOST
All right, fine.
Tom OrrHOST
Jeremiah Smith, Devin McEwen, Brandon Ennis, Isaiah West, Nate Roberts, Max LeBlanc.
Tom OrrHOST
Not all of them are wide receivers.
Tom OrrHOST
Devin McEwen had a very nice day.
Tom OrrHOST
All right, fine.
Tom OrrHOST
Jeremiah Smith, Devin McEwen, Brandon Ennis, Isaiah West, Nate Roberts, Max LeBlanc.
Tom OrrHOST
Not all of them are wide receivers.
Tom OrrHOST
Devin McEwen had a very nice day.
