Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

14 came free straight up the seam but the QB didn't see him.

a Disservice to our sport - let's up the ante - decline the bowl game
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.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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.

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.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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

You are seriously over-valuing the talent last year.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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.

Hey Wingo, you see how Smith just runs through contact instead of trying to draw calls? You don't need to engage every defender.

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.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
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.
-
Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
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.
-
Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
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!

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
I don't post on these boards at all really because, well you know. But man are you really in here attempting to spit shine those turds? 54 and 62 are NOT good. Wisner was having to dance around their busted assignments 4 yards behind the line. Luckily we found something in the pin and pull game. You can thank 52 for most of that, out there moving people, as well as Tre for setting up his own and his vision. But go back and watch the LG and C getting absolutely worked for most of the game whether that be in the passing game or run game.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
His number one issue is seeing and throwing the ball out of breaks. Timing. He wants to see people open. You gotta THROW people open. Sark figured out that was Arch's kryptonite and then changed the passing game to more stationary targets. Much more guys finding places to sit down against zone. However, aggy is a man team and that doesn't really work against them. It was obvious in the first half that was bothering Arch. I said(I think it was in the game thread but I'm getting old so who knows) that Arch has to push through the weakest part of his game. It was good to see him take baby steps down the stretch of this game. You are right though, he needs to get in the lab in the offseason and get comfortable with that part of his game. If he can do that he will have fully turned the corner. I know he rest of you feel this way but I am tired of being the only blue blood not turning out NFL career starters at QB and receiver. You know, the glory positions. Arch has a chance to make us proud on Sundays.
