Damn, reading Brandon Innis was seen on a scooter at practice. So likely a foot/ankle type of injury.

Practice notes from Bill Landis
They let us into the Shoe today to watch practice. Coaches clinic is happening, and they get to watch practice on Friday so OSU decided to let us in, too. Was told to expect mostly individual drills, but we actually got to see a decent amount of team work. No shoulder pads, thus no tackling. But here's some of what I saw.
- They're definitely still mixing things up at RG. We saw Tegra Tshabola, Luke Montgomery and Carson Hinzman all get reps with the ones. Josh Fryar only took RT reps. They mixed up Hinzman and Seth McLaughlin at center with the ones, too, but I only saw Hinzman take guard reps as well. George Fitzpatrick got some brief run with the ones at RT. I'm not reading anything into that as it pertains to Fryar's job security. Think it says something about the progress that Fitzpatrick is making, though.
- QBs were spinning it pretty well in the early portion of practice. Devin Brown connected with Jeremiah Smith in the corner of the end zone during a red zone pass period. JJ went up over Denzel Burke and grabbed the ball with one hand. Crazy thing is that Smith made it look routine and people responded like it was normal. It wasn't. Will Howard's first pass of the red zone period was behind the receiver on a crossing route, but then he rebounded nicely with a nice ball to Emeka Egbuka on a corner route for a touchdown. Good touch from both Brown and Howard on those touchdown throws.
Julian Sayin had a couple of dimes during the red zone period, both in the back corner. First one was to Carnell Tate. Second one was to Gee Scott, thrown with pretty good anticipation.
During a later team period, we saw Lincoln Kienholz connect down the field with Jayden Ballard on a PA pass.
Here's my amateur breakdown of the QBs: Brown has the strongest arm, no doubt, but comes off as a one-speed thrower at times. Would like to see him calibrate better on shorter stuff. Howard's accuracy certainly fluctuates, but he seems to handle the short and intermediate stuff better than Brown. Sayin is the best pure passer, but felt like he got sped up some during team periods. Kienholz has some good power at times, maybe some more consistent touch than Brown, but overall is a shade less consistent than the others. At least that's how it appeared today.
They definitely rolled guys through no matter who was out there, meaning you'd sometimes see Brown and Howard out there behind the third offensive line with third-team receivers. So I'll be interested to see how they deploy them on Saturday.
- Bryson Rodgers got flagged for a holding penalty on a screen pass that got Brian Hartline pretty hot, but Rodgers plays with a lot of juice. We'll all be watching JJ tomorrow, but I won't be terribly surprised if Rodgers is the receiver who has the most productive day. Kyion Grayes flashed a couple of times, so did Tate. We won't see Brandon Inniss tomorrow. He was at practice on a scooter with a boot on his right foot.
- Aaron Scott caught my eye a few times in coverage.
- Jordan Hancock had an interception of Air Noland, which I believe is the first turnover we've seen from any of the QBs in the practice windows we've had.
- Last play of the practice was a PBU in the end zone from Miles Lockhart.

Seems like the only thing holdin' Sayin byke fr is that internal clock that would only be honed by more time with the 1s and experience at the end of the day. But elephant in the room seems to be he clearly shyt on all dem other mfs in terms of natural ability. Is my nicca, Air not gettin' any reps at all or sum'n?
Think Air had an injury that was holding him back. Don’t think it was anything serious though.
Mama there goes that man

Yeah if Sayin had just one year in the system he’d be the clear starter. If he just flat out plays better than the rest, might have to just pull the trigger. They also talk about he still gets a bit sped up with pressure (pause) and he still needs to hit the weight room more, but he easily throws the best ball. How much he can grow (pause) from now until August will determine that. Will Howard still has the size (pause again, damn) and is the most calm in the pocket. Plus will be great in the run game. If he can consistently get the ball to the playmakers, might be hard to not start him.
