Part of me does wonder if Ryan Day or Mark Pantone or anyone looked at the receiver room and said, we have a lot of the same guy.

We got a lot of big ball winners.

And why don't we go get some different skill set here?

And that different skill set is speed, because McEwen and Parker are really fast, which then translates to yards after the catch.

And they're more like slot body types than they are outside body types.

They were kind of light on that the last couple of years.

Because even Emeka Ibuka, he's like a big slot.

He's like 6'1", 200 pounds, built like a running back almost.

Great player, obviously.

I think you'd like to have a diversity of skill set in your receiver.

And I think they were a little light on what McEwen and Parker could potentially bring to the table.

yeah i'm not surprised by any of it i think like and it's hard we didn't we didn't go like super hard on it during the season because they were still good like jeremiah and carnell were playing great and and the deep ball was really cooking especially for carnell yep i just think it kind of it kind of masked some deficiencies a little bit and that's kind of like the story of ohio state season right they were so dominant in the regular season that i don't think any anybody really was like well what about this this and this when they play a good team um

And then some of that stuff kind of came to a head a little bit.

And I think this is one of those things.

We saw Miami game.

Jeremiah's touchdown against Miami was a run after the catch clinic.

But there wasn't a whole lot of that last season.

And I do think it's a difficult way to live if the only way you're ever explosive throwing the ball is when you're throwing it 40 yards down the field.

I think especially with the way that they recruit, you need to be able to...

There's a little bit of like, what are you doing when the cameras aren't there?
