  1. Huh? No disrespect but the way this is worded is tough to understand. Caldwell had thrown 10 passes and completed 7 of them, including the one in the Florida game. Now I wanna make it clear that I am not advocating for him to come in. Just pointing out that he dropped back and threw the ball with no issues and the very next play the O-line went right back to Arch running for his life.
  2. Look. To anyone who truly wants to know and isnt just look for an alternate reason to protect their own ego. Just go back and watch the Miss St game from last year. His best game. Miss St was such a bad team that it really didnt matter what we did because it was all working. They had no pass rush and couldn't stop the run. But if you watch it you can see the same issues. Arch had all day to throw but pay attention to how slowly he is going through his progressions. Pay attention to where in the route he is hitting guys. Intermediate throws are never on the break. Always at the middle or end of the route. Trying to take the top off the defense consistently. On his runs he stands back there forever and then takes off. Its all there. Even in his successes. We were too busy celebrating to see it. But if you were paying attention you said to yourself, he is going to have to speed that up if he hopes to remain upright against competent defenses. A little while later we saw all those issues come to fruition vs Georgia. So did Sark. Which is why he pulled him after two series and put Ewers back in there. Go on YouTube and watch the condensed version on Texas Clips. Speed past all the defense and just watch the offense. I honestly dont know how anyone is surprised at what they are seeing. Seriously.
  3. The play call? The rush is coming. You can see it out of the corner of your eye. Get rid of the football. What do you think coaches tell you to do in this situation vs a blitz? 1) keep running the play and take the sack 2)abort the play and throw the ball away 3)throw the ball to the first available guy you see who is free
  4. Yep. Sark is most definitely a numbers guy.
  5. You know you can throw that if its open right?
  6. Exactly. However, guess what you are supposed to do if the long route isnt there?
  7. Venables fronts are undisciplined. You can bet that everybody we play will be playing contain on the edge and bringing pressure up the middle to prevent Arch from escaping. I dont forsee those LG and C PFF grades changing anytime soon.
  8. Lol. OK ok. But you know what i meant.
  9. Yep. 3:30 mark-2nd and 8 we set up a 1/2 field read to the boundary. Arch has Wingo on a stop route to the outside if he hits him right when he breaks but chooses the harder throw to Washington that gets tipped. 4:16 mark- 1st and 10. Arch has Wisner on a rail route who has a step on his defender out of the backfield but doesn't see it. 4:48 mark- 3rd and 3 dumb flea flicker play call but Arch has the deep post 1v1 with a step but instead chooses to throw to the TE who is double covered. 8:06 mark- 3rd and 6 Sark schemes Wingo open on a cross and Arch misses. 12:25 mark- Mosely runs a crosser and is open on the break but we choose to target Washington who is bracketed left and right. 13:28 mark- 2nd and 7. We run the ole Shanahan fake stretch with a boot out the backdoor. TE is open immediately and if we hit him he can get his head around to handle the closing defender. Instead we run two to three more steps then pass it and he is tackled immediately. 19:00 mark- 2nd and 10 Arch drops back and Wingo is literally waving his arms sitting on the los to the boundary. Arch never sees him. Thats just the first half. I can keep going. Those are the plays we need in order to keep drives moving. https://youtu.be/e_rZuU03X5Q?si=QCEVkoC8m3-EAuby
  10. Wow plays are just wow plays Derka. Football is about stringing together 12-15 play drives. You can have the guy that does 2 amazing things per game. I will take the boring guy who moves the chains.
  11. Checks notes. UTSA, ULM, and MSU. A combined 14-23 on the season and 0-11 vs P4 teams. But keep fucking that chicken. Whats funny is I tried to warn you Derka. Some of us saw this coming. Some of us were seeing the holding of the ball. Errant passes. Inability to play inside the structure of the offense. But we were touted as haters. We even brought receipts in the form of video and was accused of putting together "lowlights". I was dead right about Arch Derka but now we wanna blame every damn thing under the sun in order to not have to own up. Its he changed his mechanics. Then its the play calling. Its the line. Its every damn thing under the sun but him. Caldwell comes in and gets the ball out. No sack or pressure. Arch comes right back in and is running for his life. You guys just refuse to take ownership of being wrong. We will probably light Miss St up again and everyone here will proclaim the ship lighted. Rinse and repeat. But you do you. Carry on.
  12. Opponents are blitzing the a gaps and trying not to go past QB depth on the edge to keep Arch in the pocket. So all the cute shit is coming up the middle.
  13. @Dahobbs has the Georgia game. You know, the only game we got to see Arch play vs a legit P4 opponent. How did he look?
  14. Give it up Burnt. None of these dudes learned their lesson from the Mack Brown days where we hung 60 on UNT and everyone was chest bumping until OU hung 60 on us. They seem to think what we looked like vs teams that could barely win a game all season hold any merit for how we played vs anyone with a pulse.
  15. You realize Miss St won two games last year right, and neither was a p4 win? They didn't win a conference game at all. If you watch the Georgia video you see exactly what you are seeing this year. Im not being obtuse. I just dont give a lot of weight to tomato cans.
  16. I just wanna know what they are talking about. Are they really talking about the sacrificial lambs we played leading up to playing real opponents as evidence?
  17. When did he look amazing last year? Seriously?
  18. People like what they like and believe what they believe in. Why did the pirate like the air raid? Who knows. I think Sark sticks with his offense because kids like to play in the pro style because they believe it will get them to the league. He has changed it in the past if you know his story.
  19. Lol. Thats how averages work Zeus. Funny. When Arch threw a deep ball against MSU while getting hit we were told that it was something Ewers would or could never do. Then Ewers does it in the NFL and its a "prayer". Lol.
  20. 4 and 5 wide make it difficult to disguise defenses. The defense has to get to their assignments with so many receivers on the field spread from sideline to sideline. Thats why offenses like that have such high completion percentages.
  21. Lol. So there are no future NFL linemen, receivers, TEs, or backs on this roster is what you are saying? We lost NFL guys in 22, 23, and 24. Each time we retooled with lesser players and each time we continued to win. We started the season with an underwhelming Ohio State that scored 14 points and a loss to a Florida team that just fired their coach. We haven't even gotten to the good teams yet but we are supposed to believe that there is no way Ewers could win behind this line. Completely silly. I want Arch to play but part of me wants another guy to come in just long enough so you can see that this line isnt nearly as bad as you guys think it is.
  22. A bold statement? Lol. You guys act like every week we are playing the 2000's Ravens defense. Then the very next week that same defense gets shredded by a much worse team than ours. You want teams to stop blitzing with reckless abandon? Get the ball out quickly. You know who does that? Quinn Ewers. We had a shitty line last year too. LG was an issue. Cam Williams was a turnstile at PB and only got drafted because he is a physical specimen. Most of Ewers sacks came in 3 games and even then he was a superior QB to what we are getting from 16. Last game you saw what a serious effort to get the ball out can do to help stimy a real good front 7 and then you act as though the guy who lived off of the quick game would somehow struggle against a worse Kentucky team than we played last year because of what Arch did. Come on bro.
  23. We had the same problems last year and we blamed the quarterback.
  24. I know you did Twice, but a lot of lurkers may not so i chose to elaborate. And you are correct. When things align for him he shows his abilities.
