  1. The crazy part is this offense IS built for him. Let me explain. Outside zone is what made the Shanahans famous. Faking that stretch play and the QB boot out the back is what we were opening up games with like 4 games in a row. And because its OZ its easy to wash down the defensive like on the zone read leaving the QB with only second and third level guys to worry about. I think once he has a full command of it people will love what we are currently doing. He can run or throw off of it really well.
  2. Of course you cut off the rest of my comment. Again disingenuous.
  3. Lol. Here we go...
  4. Black people are 53% of all US murder arrests is a stat. But another stat is black people are 7.5 times more likely to be falsely accused, as well as black people constitute 55% of the exonerations. A person could shout the first stat from the mountain top while ignoring the other two that tell another part of the story. That is what you are doing here, Derka, and its disingenuous.
  5. Stats say whatever you want them to say Derka. For example the stats say that Ewers was mid on intermediate routes. Then you watch a game and see him intentionally throw two balls out the back of the end zone and then another two into the stands to avoid a sack and there goes his percentage, right? Truth is if you watch him he wasn't missing a bunch of intermediate throws. The stats count those throwaways just the same. The stats also dont take into account what you are being asked to do, meaning not all intermediate throws are the same. A receiver driving 15 yards down field and sitting down is not the same as a 15-20 yard dig. That dig is a big boy throw, but it counts the same in the stat book. Sarkisians offense requires big boy quarterbacking as his routes are almost always on the move. We haven't had a great O-line. We couldn't run the ball vs talented fronts, Cam Williams was a turnstile, and we had left guard problems even then. What a lot of people dont understand is the issues are largely systemic. We've consistently asked people to do things they cannot do. Like we run this play every game and its stupid. We run a play action pass where the line blocks just like its split zone. In case you didnt know split zone is inside zone but where the TE comes from the Hback spot all the way across the formation to block the backside DE. Probably a 1/3 of Ewers sacks came from that dumb ass blocking scheme. Slow devloping ply asking a guy to do something he cannot. We had one great lineman. Guys like Cam Williams got drafted on measurables. If he was good he goes in the first round. Everyone else was adequate to bad. Ewers just learned to get the ball out quickly. Again, we had one freakish receiver and a bunch of other solid ones. Like I said, if your receivers are going to the league it means the QB is playing well. Quit making it like Ewers didnt help get them where they were. He had a huge hand in that. Have some respect.
  6. That's what pissed me off the most. Ewers put the ball on the money. Rarely did guys have to twist, turn, or even break stride on everything intermediate on down. He was so quick to pop a ball out to his check down that he had people here thinking "that was the play call". Sure the freaks like Jeremiah Smith are going in the first round no matter what, but when you are getting all your pass catchers to the league it means your quarterback is playing well too. Matthew Golden doesn't go in the 1st round if he stays in Houston. We took Ewers for granted. Hopefully one day he is appreciated for his time here. Back to back CFP and 2 and 1 vs OU is nothing to sneeze at, and was 1 minute away from Pete the Great status.
  7. Yes sir. Again, everyone was do upset that Ewers was checking down and favoring shorter routes. Its what had to happen in order to mitigate negative plays.
  8. The football gods are righting the ship. Let em cook.
  9. Im just going to say it. This staff needs to quit trying to feature Ryan Wingo.
  10. Yep. We were shitty in pass pro too. Ewers just got the ball out so it didnt seem bad. Yesterday Arch tried to take one deep shot and coincidentally was sacked.
  11. Pretty much WAS always the case. Listen, Sark deserves a lot of criticism for a lot of things, but play design isnt one of them. Yesterday was like he was told to hit the checkdown. Dude hit the checkdown yesterday more in one game than he had all season. There were still longer routes he was just prioritizing the short ones.
  12. No my brother. The coverage determines what you do. He was simply holding the ball too long. As he did every game up until yesterday.
  13. First world problems my guy. Just nitpicking one the plethora of 5 🌟 quarterbacks we have. You know, like is the 812 Superfast better than the F12 TDF.
  14. Look BurntOrange can be an asshole but he isnt wrong in the post you are quoting. That is LITERALLY what we said he needed to do. Not exactly sure what you are trying to say here by pointing at who liked his post. So you dont like any post by a poster simply based on who the poster is? Regardless of if the post is correct? Go back to last season. Do you not remember that @BurntOrange&White and I were going toe to toe on the Quinn thread? I mean we were really battling about it.
  15. Bro I assure you it does not. I am staying in an area with like 100 chain restaurants. I got in at 10pm on a Saturday and my eating options were Chili's, McDonalds, and Taco Bell. Everything else was closed. My HEB at home closes at 11. Literally nothing going on.
  16. My kid tore her ACL and is getting surgery on Monday. I took the opportunity to bring her shit and car since I was coming up anyway for the surgery. Currently in a hotel in fucking Ohio. Gross.
  17. Maybe a couple DT guys? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  18. Im not sure anyone seriously suggested that. I mean, the pass was on the money but it looked like a 7th grader threw itπŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  19. Bro. We talk a lot of shit on the board. But there is literally no one I wouldn't sit down and have a beer with or stop on the side of the road for. Thats what makes us better than aggy. Let's not take the disrespect over the line.
  20. I do. Funny that it was the same player that we were talking about too. Tre Wisner.
  21. Yeah. Let's not do that. We are above that here.
  22. I was super excited to see Arch check the ball down multiple times. Those check downs where he is trusting his guys to make a play even though the ball was short of the sticks is exactly what I was talking about on that Florida play. So we started with off-script, big game hunter Arch. This game he added the Check down Charlie aspect. Now we just need to see the on time, system throws and we will be cooking. He was still missing tons of reads but it was obvious he made a HUGE effort to get the ball out and I loved it. Great show of growth. I would break out the film but I am in the middle of driving to NY from Texas.
  23. Sark's pro style offense is a double edge sword. On one hand its a bit clunky and inefficient when you dont have studs everywhere like Saban Bama. That said its also why he gets the QBs he does. Kids wanna learn it so they can be ready for the next level. I dont think Arch comes here if its the air raid.
