Around the 'Shoe

I think there was talk....but from stuff I am reading on other sites, it sounds like it actually happened. But I am not positive. Any news anyone can share would be great.

He also played RT in HS....

Yeah, if you own a liquor store here.

and a little confirmation from Brandon Castel.....

Being told the Chase Farris move from defensive line to offensive line is "almost a certainty" at this point.

He was already going to have a hard time getting on the field before they added Washington, Spence and Schutt to the mix. Plus Sevon Pittman will be healthy again to start fall camp.

I don't like this move nearly as much as the Darryl Baldwin move. IMO, Baldwin was a guy who was probably never going to play on the d-line and they were desperate for tackles in the spring. Baldwin could really grow into that position. Never really had the temperament for defense at this level.

I know the Buckeyes are stacked with talent on the d-line, but I thought Farris had a great spring. He is a total "see ball, get ball" type of player, so it will be interesting to see if he can transition to assignment-based football on the offensive line.

At 6-4, 286, he has good size to be a tackle or a guard, but I just don't see this move working out as well as the Baldwin one.

Now that is a great line Chad.
I always wondered if Farris would be switched to OL. As far as I am concern this is as good as getting say, Pocic to come to OSU. I see Farris as having great potential at OT.

This speaks more to the talent level of the D-line recruits Meyer is bringing in. Making the switch from d-line to 0-line is normally not a great problem because d-lineman are usually more athletic and quicker with their feet. They may have been good d-lineman but end up being better offensive lineman. If you watch some of the line play from Urban's Florida team the lineman were on the whole quicker than what we are used to seeing from our lineman.

+1 I agree. If there's one position we can switch around is DL. We need depth at OL but I hope for his sake it's a better way to see playing time oppose to providing depth in the OL, he seems like a great kid!

Oregon edged Wisky in the Rose Bowl. Once Meyer gets his system in place, we'll have a high octane offense similar to Oregon but with a much better defense. I think with the Dline and LBs Meyer is getting (assumming we get some more highly rated LBs next year), Wisky won't have an easy go of it.

yea, i get that. it's funny, though. i had a rating of 96 Sunday morning and it dropped to 86 by yesterday. i thought that was strange so I went back and checked my posts and found someone had given me DVs for basically everything i'd posted, even one where all I wrote was "^^^^ this" to agree with the post right before mine. don't know what i said that set someone off but that kind of retaliation is not only petty but absurdly extreme

we're limited to 5 DVs and 25 UVs a day (1:5 ratio). that's made me think that 1 DV has the same impact on someones rating as 5 upvotes. all you need is one person with a grudge to exercise their vendetta by using all their DVs on that one person, who likely isn't going to say enough positive things to generate 25 upvotes in one day to counter it.

i just know that when i hit the 1st uv, it tells me I have 24 left and the 1st dv, i have 5 left. i could be wrong about the dv's, though...i don't dv very often. i'd rather debate than downvote. but i think i would probably have to be on the board all day for me to pass out 25 uv's and thats my point...i think a person with a grudge can drop 3-5 dv's faster and do more harm than they're likely to pass out their full allotment of uv's.

Ya the most I've ever had I think is like 3 or 4 in a given day.
