  1. I pay attention to middles quite a bit, and I think the graduation of O'Neal was a big loss for this team. Her slide was unstoppable and was almost a guaranteed point every time. She is a natural one footed jumper and could jump over almost all the blocks. Plus she served really well and was a solid blocker, and a team leader. The middles this year are a work in progress, Singletary improved throughout the year and was pretty solid by the end of the season. Ames is just a freshman so too early to tell, but I'm not sure if she has the athleticism on the slide or quickness that this team has had in the past.
  2. Better find a block to slow them down.
  3. Need the block to show up. Absolutely no block touches.
  4. It's a bit difficult to give you much credit here, when you call him a pussy at every opportunity. I agree for the most part, with Sidis's longcat post. Plus, Sark's not going to play Manning for any meaningful snaps at this point, unless Ewers gets hurt, so we have to deal with Quinn's good and bad for the rest of the season.
  5. Why can’t they run against them. Several other teams have.
  6. No pass rush. Maybe trying to contain?
  7. Literally 0 blocks for Tenn. in the match. Don’t see that too often.
  8. This staff gives us multiple options for possible Gaskamp award winners.
  9. He’s quick and slippery, and can elude defenders in small spaces. I hope we hit him hard early and often, and get him rattled.
  10. I actually think Reed is going to be a bit of a problem. He’s more elusive than any QB we’ve faced this year, including Pavia. And he can buy time and find open receivers with his ability to scramble. However, we have the athletes to keep him in check for the most part. He’ll get away a few times causing some frustration. I want to see Ant Hill and company break him in half. Fuck the Aggies. We can’t lose to those cultists.
  11. Way too much space. Just giving them too much room on that side of field.
  12. Yeah, I get that. Still think Dart goes quite a bit higher than the 11th QB taken. Ewers, who knows. He has arm talent but his ability to successfully throw the ball down field, with all of his “arm talent” hasn’t been showing up much this season. I think he just needs to play with more confidence, which is easier said than done.
  13. What’s the deal with Dart? I haven’t watched OM much this season, but their offense seems prolific. Draft stock seems pretty low. I guess he’s inconsistent? But he’s mobile and has a pretty good arm. Definitely put up some numbers this year.
  14. Looked like to me that Quinn had more velocity on his throws against UF than the last few games. He might just be fully recovered from his strained abdomen.
  15. Gibson runs with a lot of forward lean…which is nice.
  16. I know the game is over, but shit, it gets old watching them run it down our throats.
  17. Palmer keeps talking about bringing in backups. I think the backup punt returner is also a starter, plus you don’t want to throw someone out there to try and catch punts. We play a lot of people, especially at the skill positions.
  18. Yeah, but they were really great in the closed doors scrimmages…
  19. During that one rotation, those are your pin hitters. They can't seem to find any offense out of the middles so, especially when out of system, the setters are going to the pins. In the aggie game that was a disaster. Back row attack with Skinner is a great option if in system at all.
  20. As good as Sark is at designing an offense and play calling, the run game looks very predictable or at least not too varied, in terms of type of plays called. Situationally there is good timing calling run plays when the defense isn’t expecting them, but imagination in the type of run plays seems lacking. You typically see 2 or 3 types of plays called to either side during a game. Seems like there is room to open the play book a bit more there.
  21. The short, west coast passing game is becoming too predictable. They are not making teams pay for sitting on all the shallow routes. Until Ewers shows he can beat defenses downfield or at least on medium depths throws, it’s going to be tough to move the ball against good defenses.
