Summary

How confident are you about Ohio State's offensive line in 2022? Let us know in the comments section. On today's show, Steve Helwagen and Dave Biddle will analyze the O-line and give their opinions on the matter. What will be the biggest strength of the offensive line? What is a possible weakness? How will this OL stack up against some of the recent ones at OSU? Can it be among the best in the country? Or is that a bit far-fetched? Also, in exactly one week, all of Ohio State's obligations at Big Ten Media Days will take place (Wednesday, July 27). Head coach Ryan Day will be there, along with player reps C.J. Stroud, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ronnie Hickman. What are we most interesting in hearing about at media days, both from Ohio State's perspective and the conference as a whole? Also, we take questions from our live audience. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

0:00.0	Good morning, Bucknotters, welcome to the Bucknotts
0:29.8	Morning 5 here on Wednesday, July 20, 2022. I am Dave Biddle, I'm very happy to join by Steve
0:35.6	Hellwagon. A lot to get into on today's show, we already have a lot of questions and comments
0:40.4	from viewers and the show has not even begun yet, well now it has. But let's start with what
0:45.1	I wanted to get into for the crux of the show. And that is our confidence level in Ohio State's
0:50.1	offense of line this year. Let's go one to 10 Steve. What's your confidence level in this
0:53.9	buck I offense of line this fall? I'd put it probably about a seven. I think last year you had a
1:01.4	pretty good offensive line that for the most part was outstanding with past protection, Michigan
1:08.6	kind of exploited a few things I think they're at the end of the year. You know, when you have the
1:15.2	number one offense in all of college football, you've obviously done some good things with the
1:22.8	offensive line, but I think that obviously they did get out physical that seems in a couple of
1:28.1	games Oregon and Michigan. So the tweaks that have come down this year, obviously moving Paris
1:36.1	Johnson from guard out the tackle. I think that's a good sign obviously. DeWon Jones is going to be a
1:42.7	year older and a year better at the other tackle position. Luke Whiplier did a bang up job. I
1:48.2	thought it's center. And then you got two new starters essentially Matthew Jones who's got some
1:53.5	starting experience at one guard and Donovan Jackson at the other. I think that starting five is
1:59.4	is pretty good. I think that in preseason camp they'll work out whatever kinks that they may
2:05.3	still have with their new position coach Justin Fry. I don't I don't envision an issue at all with
2:12.6	that starting five. I think it's when you get beyond that starting five is where you start to have
2:18.0	some real questions. Do you have another tackle on this roster that's ready to go? You'd say
2:25.9	potentially Josh Fryer, I guess, although he missed the spring. Enoch Vamahi may be the next guy
2:32.0	up at guard. Jacob James may be the next guy at center. You feel pretty good about that first six,
