What insights were shared about the Ohio State spring football practice No. 10?
Welcome back to the Bill and Doug show. Doug LaMaurice and Bill Landis talking after Ohio State spring practice. I always want to make sure I have the numbers right. 10, right? 10. Yeah. 11 is on Friday. 12 is next Monday. 13 is next Wednesday. 14 is next Friday. And 15 is the spring game on April 18th. Got it. Go to the spring game. It'll be exciting because it's a great way to be in Ohio Stadium and watch Ohio. What? Oh, what?
No. Looking like rain. I hope it changes. I hope it changes. It's Ohio. We're too many days out to worry about it.
That's why you got to dome Ohio Stadium. Plant that flag. Secondary discussion. We talked with cornerbacks coach Tim Walton. We talked with safeties coach Matt Guerrero. We talked with safeties Earl Little, Leroy Roker,
Jalen McClain and cornerback Devin Sanchez we spoke with Jermaine Matthews earlier this spring but we haven't talked to Terry Moore right no I thought we would because we've we've been getting a lot of the transfers right we got our little we got uh James Smith Smith um Christian Allegro Christian Allegro yeah I don't know uh I don't know why we didn't get Terry Moore yeah
so interesting conversations it's again where there was three three tables going on ohio state they'd do this you know do a nice job getting people out there but we didn't get personally to everybody we wanted to get to god i would have had we would have 14 questions for leroy roker but we didn't get to him because you were earl little and i was at jaylen mclean um and we had a pretty long discussion outside the woody hayes athletic center And then we had another discussion right here before we started recording. And often I am, we are like, hey, let's not do the whole show before the show. But I felt like we needed to do the show before the show twice today because I was trying to figure out how mad you might get at me for trying to, for my attempts to be confused by what is going on in the secondary.
And I'm trying to figure out who is what, right? Who is what? Who is what? And you said maybe there aren't answers to that question yet. And we're just trying to decide, are you going to get mad at me? Am I going to get mad at the world? What's going to happen here?
I do think there are not... definitive answers and a couple, even McInerney and his whatever eight minutes that he spoke, I think multiple times said like, sorry, I don't have more specifics, but like, we're still trying to figure this out too, which is not like unheard of, especially when you have as many new players as Ohio state has. I do think you tell me though, if, if all of these things can be true at the same time, I really like what's going on on the secondary.
Yeah.
How is the safety room structured for the Buckeyes this season?
I think right now I would say the secondary is going to be the best part of this team. And also, I have no idea what it's going to look like.
There are a lot of options at both spots, safety and corner. which we talked about on the depth show we did for our Substack subscribers last week. But it was confirmation here because, for instance, I asked Jalen McClain, like, what do you think of the safety room? And he said, deep, right? I asked Tim Walton, the cornerbacks coach, like, who's your number three corner? And he's like, what do you... I don't know, dude, basically, to paraphrase. But I said... Do you feel like you're searching? So we know Jermaine Matthews and Devin Sanchez are locked in the quarterback room. I said, do you feel like you're searching for that next guy or you have a lot of good options? And he was like a lot of good options, like instantaneous.
And again, because I think he could be honest about that. If they're trying to like light a fire, if they're like, no, we've got to find it. Whereas it's like, well, it could be Dominic Kelly. It could be Cam Calhoun. It could be. Jay Timmons somehow in it. There's multiple names that are legitimate guys, and then clearly it's safety. There's a lot of that. So, again, there's the difference of the conversations that we have when we don't know the answers to things, but is it should you be worried that we don't know the answers or should you just be intrigued and curious?
