    If you had to pick one podcast to follow the buckeyes, this would definitely be it. Been a daily year round listener for years. These guys know their stuff and it’s like hanging w some good friends. But I digress.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag Wednesday: Deepest position group for OSU? | Shallowest?
Q: Will Austin Siereveld return to practice and how might that affect the lineup?
Siereveld's status is monitored due to minor injuries; the host guesses he may be ready to start at right guard for the opener but might be held out for roster protection, with Padilla serving as a top backup and sixth man.
Mailbag Wednesday: Deepest position group for OSU? | Shallowest?
Q: How will the carries be split between Bo Jackson and Isaiah West, and what about Jacoby Jackson?
The host expects a split around 60-40 in favor of Bo Jackson, with Jacoby Jackson contributing around 15% of carries and Legend Bay being sprinkled in as depth at running back.
Mailbag Wednesday: Deepest position group for OSU? | Shallowest?
Q: What is the deepest position group for Ohio State this year, and what's the shallowest?
The deepest position group is wide receiver, led by Jeremiah Smith, Devin McEwen, Brandon Ennis, and others vying for roles; the shallowest appears to be the offensive tackle spots behind the starters, with concerns about depth at tackle despite Siereveld's versatility.
Mailbag Wednesday | What questions are facing No. 1 Buckeyes with camp opening tomorrow?
Q: Will Arthur Smith have a situational package for Tavian St. Clair?
Yes, they will have a situational package for Tavian St. Clair, including QB sneaks and short-yardage plays, though usage may be limited.
Mailbag Wednesday | What questions are facing No. 1 Buckeyes with camp opening tomorrow?
Q: If you had to put together a coaching staff from all of the head and position coaches at Ohio State since 2000, what would your staff look like?
The host builds a hypothetical staff choosing Urban Meyer or Jim Tressel as head coach, with Ryan Day as offensive coordinator, and then selects defensive coordinators like Mark D'Antonio and others, while prioritizing a strong offensive line coach and a balanced defense, ultimately favoring a blend of proven leaders from the era.
