  1. Maybe you've figured it out by now, but I get frustrated with you because periodically you spout wild theories based on zero football logic. Every linemen we had last year could've won every award there is to win. It wouldn't change the fact that we couldn't run the football versus quality fronts. When Sark was at Bama he ran Inside Zone? Why? Because you can run more stuff off of it like play action and RPOs. When he got here we tried to run it and the only reason it worked is because Bijan can get his own yards. However, it became pretty clear, especially once we got to the SEC, that we couldn't block worth a shit in the interior. So we changed to being Outside Zone based. Why? Because Outside Zone is the Tai Chi of running philosophies. You don't have to be strong to be good at it. You are just using the defender's momentum against him. However, when you play a fast disciplined front, they beat your linemen to all their spots, and that's why we cannot run on Georgia, Ohio State, or even ASU. Oklahoma and Aggy have talent on their fronts but no discipline. They jump around in gaps and end up leaving alleys for a guy like Wisner to take advantage of. I asked you why we couldn't run to see what your answer would be. I am surprised you didn't blame the quarterback. My irritation with your comment comes because we literally just saw a couple weeks ago what Arch would look like behind a line that couldn't run the football and had a bunch of penalties, and still you claim Arch would've won those games last year when he was literally just facing the same situation two weeks ago and we scored 10 points. Here are the 3rd down yardages Quinn saw in the SEC Championship game. Also 11 penalties for 94 yards. 5 drops too. 3rd and 4 3rd and 9 3rd and 14 3rd and 27 3rd and 14 3rd and 5 3rd and 26 3rd and 5 3rd and 4 3rd and 22 3rd and 15 3rd and 10 3rd and 3 3rd and 17 3rd and 3 3rd and 15 3rd and 5 3rd and 10 Only 7 out of 18 times were we in a realistic down and distance. Arch wasn't winning with that. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
  2. It's not about whether or not YOU or I think it was better. It's about it could not run the football vs good fronts all last year, and therefore wouldn't have offered Arch anything different to win those games vs Georgia twice or Ohio State. Arch still would've been in 3rd and long just like he was this year. Nothing would've changed. That line would've offered the same shit sandwich that this line did. You seeing what I am saying yet?
  3. How would Arch change anything about why we couldn't run the football? They spied Arch this year and he ran 5 times for 0 yards.
  4. No one has answered the question Derka. The reason we couldn't run the football is because we were extremely weak at the same two positions we are weak at now. C/RG. So we couldn't get a push up the middle vs solid fronts. Because of that Sark switched our base run to Outside Zone. But you can't run sideways against fast fronts. I said that to say this. If we had the same struggles last year running the football vs the Georgia's of the world as we did this year how do you suppose Arch would do anything different than what happened this year with the same exact problem? Explain to me how he would magically fix that and have us beating Georgia and Ohio State?
  5. You are basing your evidence on opinion. I am basing my evidence on the CONSISTENT inability to run the football vs quality fronts. That's not dishonest. I would toss in the pass pro breaking down in those same games but you would just blame that on the QB. So we can keep it to running for now.
  6. You know how these things work, right? The year prior you are on the watchlist for awards due to expectations. We came from the Big12 to the SEC. Obviously a huge difference in line play, but we were already on the watchlist. The measure of a good line is being able to run the football, right? So why couldn't we run the football against those teams? Why aren't you answering such a simple question?
  7. I'm asking a simple question of why we couldn't run the football in the 4 most important games we played last year. Michigan rushed for 172 yards on Ohio State right before we played them. Still waiting on an answer.
  8. No one is willing to answer the question?
  9. It's not a stupid argument. Teams ran on those teams last year. If what Derka says is true that we had one of the best lines in football, why couldn't we run on those teams? Other teams did.
  10. Question for you Derka. If our O-line was so good last year why couldn't we run the football vs Georgia twice, Ohio State, or Arizona State?
  11. 14 came free straight up the seam but the QB didn't see him.
  12. I mean, no hate my boy but IT IS a shiity take. Bowl game practices alone are worth it. Get valuable reps for the youngins for next season.
  13. I get it brother and I have enjoyed the games like most people. But its frustrating to watch us lose to Georgia because we couldn't run the football this year and have people saying that we would win those games last year if Arch was playing, when that's the exact same reason Arch lost this year, because we couldn't run the football. Him being in the game last year would result in the exact same issue. Anyone who cannot see that has lost their damn minds. We lost 3 games last year. In all 3 games our QB outplayed theirs. Also in all those games we couldn't run the football. I will take your advice though. Thank you for stepping in.
  14. Derka, Arch still can't throw basic routes to keep the offense on schedule bro. That's the most important aspect to QBing. Sark has found what he can do well and is doing a solid job of featuring it.
  15. One of those picks went through the hands of his receiver. 358 vs Georgia's defense is no slouch. I called his take retarded because we aren't acknowledging how we hand to change the entire offensive scheme in order for Arch to start looking competent as a passer. We went from primarily running a NFL offense with a higher percentage of 12 personnel to basically running a Veer and Shoot spread. We went from always running moving routes to stationary ones. We even changed the RPO to a hitch. We have never done that. The coach himself is telling you through play calling that this is what Arch can currently hit. This isn't opinion this is fact. We never did that for Ewers. Anything he got was in the confines of Sark's clunky, 12 personnel, NFL offense. Yet he still performed. Yall need to give the dude his props for that. What would Arch look like if we never changed the entire offense? Would they still be calling him a bust? Arch will likely pass Quinn as a passer next year, but let's not act like Ewers wasn't a good player. Geez
  16. You are seriously over-valuing the talent last year.
  17. No disrespect you man but this is a retarded take. Look dude, Arch is better throwing the ball down the field and stronger in the pocket. But that's where it stops. Quinn was better reading defenses. Faster through his progressions. Faster getting the ball out. More accurate from intermediate back. I don't know how you still don't see it. Arch struggles with his accuracy on anything not moving north and south. So much so our coach, known for not having stationary routes in his passing concepts, had to move to more stationary passing concepts. Thats why these last weeks you've seen so many receivers just sitting down in a zone waiting to receive a ball. Last night what you saw a QB who was struggling because you can't run stationary routes vs man. Look, I get that you don't like Ewers, but at this point it should be pretty clear what was happening last year which is the same bullshit that was happening this year. Slow developing plays. 12 personnel all game. No running game vs big time opponents. Last year Ewers threw for 358 vs Georgia despite no running game and a bunch of receiver drops. And Georgia was better defensively last year. You need to stop with the bullshit dude. You don't win as consistently as we did without solid QB play.
  18. We saw Arch last year and he looked just like this year.
  19. The Great Value version
  20. They wouldnt call that in the sec
  21. Hey Wingo, you see how Smith just runs through contact instead of trying to draw calls? You don't need to engage every defender.
  22. and this is where you always lose me. At this point in his career he isn't better than the guy that was here last year.
  23. Yep, they did the same thing last year. Weird they still haven't figured out that's the wrong approach for a back like Wisner.
  24. Also turned out to be true! Watching them against a team from the top half of the SEC was eye-opening. They are pretty meh, much like last year.
  25. I just wanna highlight both these posts for their accuracy. Reed was a 1 read QB. Anytime we took away his first he was panicky in the pocket. Simmons caused a lot of havoc behind the los doing whatever the hell he felt like. For the most part we stayed disciplined in our rush lanes, although we lost track of Reed at the second level. Nice call Codaxx!
