Did Carnell Tate block a punt one time?

I feel like Crystal Lave.

I would be curious because you guys were getting him talking about that he said his family's not here, so he's watching all the practice footage at night and trying to identify skill sets and writing stuff down in a notebook of whatever.

Because it's one of those, if he says, oh, we just had good guys at Illinois and that's why we blocked seven punts, guess where you have good guys?

Ohio State.

If they want to do it,

It's not like, well, I wish we could block some punts.

We just don't have any athletes.

It's like, nope, that is not the answer at Ohio State.

So I would be curious, like, who can be that?

If Denzel Ward and Chris Olabe have been that, like, could Jerquade and Guilford be that?

Could Dominic Kelly be that?

Like, who were the guys that he maybe would identify who could be real threats off the edge with their speed and their get-offs?

What did you think of the vibe you got from him when it comes to the punt returner in the make sure you have a guy who's going to catch it versus having an explosive dynamic guy back there, which, you know,

Brandon Ennis is not the most explosive player in Ohio State's roster.

He was the punt returner last year, but then there were even some moments early in the season, right, where it felt like, okay, well, he's supposed to be back there because he's reliable, but how reliable is he?

I'm assuming Brandon Ennis is going to be the punt returner until proven otherwise, because it's just like...

I feel like he can always get, like, whenever they, the first, we always see special teams parts of practice, right?

And whenever they're like, so we see the punt returner practice, like, oh, who's back with the punt returners?

Like the nine most dynamic guys on the team.
