Ohio Congressmen Jim Jordan and Mike Turner serve on House Oversight Committee which is launching an investigation into assassination attempt on Trump

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability will hold a hearing on Monday, July 22 on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Committee Chairman James Comer plans to subpoena Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to testify. The House’s second top Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise called on Cheatle to resign on Monday.

U.S. Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, and Mike Turner, R-Dayton, serve on the panel.

Facts about Trump assassination attempt: What’s real, what’s not and how we know

Jim Jordan: ‘There’s one fundamental question’

During a podcast interview at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Jordan questioned why nearby buildings at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, were not secured.

“In my mind, there’s one fundamental question. There’s a finite number of buildings in that area where a bad guy could get on top of and do what happened. It’s probably not one hundred buildings, it’s probably not 10, it may be three, four, five. And one of those buildings was occupied by the good guys, right?” Jordan said.

Jordan said he would like to hear from the local police officer who reportedly climbed up to the roof of the building with the sniper just before the deadly shooting and the Secret Service counter-sniper.

Mike Turner: ‘You don’t have to be a security expert to see the failures’

Turner, who also is chair of the House Intelligence Committee, praised the Secret Service agents on the stage with Trump and told CNN there are going to be lots of questions about the shooter and his motivations.

“You don’t have to be a security expert to see the failures here,” Turner said. “The fact that the perimeter was not secure really is just astounding I think to anyone who looks at it. The fact that he was able to get off shots where he had already been identified, his position had been identified is really confusing and astounding.”

Both the defensive line and secondary for the Ohio State Buckeyes certainly deserve a bunch of recognition headed into this next season. On the line, they have two veteran edge rushers in Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau, along with an excellent defensive tackle in Tyleik Williams. Ty Hamilton rounds out that group of four players and has plenty of starting experience, himself. In his 41 games played for Ohio State, he has started in 13.

In addition to lots of skill and experience on the projected starting defensive line, the projected starting five in the secondary is Denzel Burke and Davison Igbinosun as the outside corners, Jordan Hancock as the nickel corner and Lathan Ransom and Caleb Downs as the safeties. That is another experienced and extraordinarily talented group.

Despite the least amount of college starting experience coming from the linebacking corps, the talent and potential to be dominant is still there. Graduate student Cody Simon is in-line to be the leader of the linebacker room not only because he is an upper classman, but also because he has played in 44 games with the Buckeyes and started in 15. In that time, he has tallied 147 tackles and 11 tackles-for-loss. Last season, he had 57 total tackles which was fourth-best on the team.

With Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers no longer members of the Buckeyes roster as they pursue NFL opportunities, Cody Simon truly gets the opportunity to let loose and show what he can do. Next to him, redshirt sophomore C.J. Hicks is expected to get a chance to flash his ability. Hicks has been a player Buckeye Nation has been excited about even prior to his arrival on campus. He was a five-star prospect and the No. 2 linebacker in the entire 2022 recruiting class on 247 Sports.

When defensive coordinator Jim Knowles only has two linebackers on the field, Simon and Hicks will most likely get the majority of the reps. In three-linebacker sets or even on definite passing downs, converted safety Sonny Styles should get lots of work at linebacker. The 6’4″, 235-pound junior had 53 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble as a safety last season. His versatility could really make him a threat in so many different scenarios.

Even with a bunch of moving parts at linebacker in preparation for this season, there is a chance that Ohio State’s linebackers perform at an even higher level this season than last. Hicks and Styles offer more in coverage than Eichenberg and Chambers and they have the speed to cover a ton of ground sideline-to-sideline. Simon still offers the more traditional linebacker build at a stout 6’2″ and 235 pounds. He should not have a problem filling gaps against the run.

Behind this group of three linebackers, Arvell Reese and Gabe Powers may get some reps of their own.

If this linebacker group surpasses the expectations of most people around the country, then this Ohio State team may end up being historically good from a statistics standpoint. They will then also increase the chances of a National Championship at the end of this season.

College football, after years of waiting, has finally made it’s return to the video games. EA Sports’ College Football 25 is now available to play, and I got a chance to play with the Ohio State Buckeyes. Here’s a breakdown of my experience with the Buckeyes:

With a 93 overall rating, Ohio State is the second-ranked team behind the Georgia Bulldogs. The star-studded lineup includes eight 90+ overall players, along with 23 80+ overall players.

Despite having an 89 overall offense in College Football 25, Ohio States’ versatility in the pass and run game makes this offense an underrated unit.

Former Kansas State quarterback and probable starter Will Howard is the perfect duel-threat to balance the Buckeyes’ offensive attack. With an 85 overall, Howard has solid ratings to be a catalyst for the team. His 94 throw power allows for his player to make most deep throws, along with 88 medium throw accuracy for the tight-window passes.

EA Sports clearly recognized Howard’s rushing ability, which allows for users to be deceptive with run calls. His 80 speed and 83 carry makes him more than capable to call any type of run-option play.

Looking at the wide receivers, returning pass catcher Emeka Egbuka is the highest-rated wide receiver for the Buckeyes with a 93 overall rating. With 94 short-route running and 95 medium-route running, it felt like Egbuka was always open.

Don’t count out the young wideouts for the Buckeyes. Carnell Tate (85 overall) and Jeremiah Smith (84 overall) were two sneaky pass catchers, and made some phenomenal catches.

On top of the cheat-code passing game, Ohio States’ dynamic duo of 95 overall Quinshon Judkins and 93 overall Treyvon Henderson carry the run game for the Buckeyes.

During the first offensive drive, Judkins was the lead back on the field. However, the two backs rotate every drive, which makes it easier to keep each player’s stamina up through the duration of the game.

If you like the bruiser-back style, Judkins fits the mold and can get you solid yardage on first and second downs. Henderson is perfect for any outside zone run play, as the Buckeyes’ running back has 93 speed and can quickly reach the outside on a run play.

The Buckeye’s defense in College Football 25 is a matchup nightmare for anyone who plays against the unit. With a 96 overall rating, Ohio State is the No. 1 defense in the game.

Even without defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau in the game, the front four still remains elite. 92 overall defensive end Jack Sawyer is a moster at getting after the quarterback, while being able to stop the run. With a 90 power rating and a 92 power move, Sawyer always gets into the oppenents’ backfield.

Another key player on the line is 91 overall defensive tackle Tyleik Williams. The Buckeyes main man up the middle is a beast when it comes to stopping the run with a 91 block shed rating.

In a secondary unit that includes 95 overall free safety Caleb Downs and 91 overall cornerback Denzel Burke, any opponent will struggle to move the ball downfield through the air.

Downs, the highest-rated player for Ohio State in the game, makes it nearly-impossible to throw the ball deep against the Buckeyes. His 91 speed rating and 93 zone coverage rating is perfect for a saftey playing in the deep zones.

If you want to switch from zone coverage to man, Burke has the ability to match up against any team’s top wideout. With 94 zone coverage and 91 press coverage, the veteran cornerback is the perfect player for any defensive setup.
