  1. First look here at an outside zone. The linemen are supposed to get their inside hand on the man to help slow the rusher enough to pass him to the trailing blocker. Then reach block left to wall off the front and give the back a 3 way read. The back reads inside out and looks to see if the guard first has inside leverage and there's a hole. If not, he checks the tackle then finally TE. All while looking for a cut back lane if the defense over-pursues and loses a backside gap. First off, Campbell doesn't get a hand on anyone, and generally looks completely lost on the play. That allows Baker's rusher to easily beat him inside getting backside pressure taking away the cut back. The front side of the play isnt well blocked because Stroh's made gets across his face and the defense is able to get through to the back. The TE Shannon also gets shed and his man makes the primary tackle. Screen_Recording_20250917_185736_YouTube.mp4 This one looks like inside zone and it gets messed up from the start. The TE coming back across formation to take out the backside rusher runs right into Baker knocking them both down. That mucks up the hole forcing Simon to bounce outside. Goosby gets his block but isnt expecting the play to run outside of him. Luckily Stroh actually drives his man back, Livingstone gets his block, and Simon makes a great play. Campbell makes a blatant block in the back he gets away with. Screen_Recording_20250917_190759_YouTube.mp4 This one is just so fucked up I can't even describe it. 12 personnel with Washington and Winston in, and playside neither of the TEs nor the RT Baker block anyone. Just pure shit all around playside. Screen_Recording_20250917_191417_YouTube.mp4 Here it's 12 personnel again with Washington and Endries. UTEP stunts their tackles and it eats Stroh and Hutson up. Washington looks like he's engaging the block but then turns it loose to get to the 2nd level. Endries was expecting him to maintain the block and has to scramble to recover. I'm assuming Washington fucked that up although I don't know for sure. The line had a lot of issues with tackles stunting on their zone blocks throughout the game. Screen_Recording_20250917_192108_YouTube.mp4 Finally the play that produced the screen shot of our 3 interior linemen laying on the ground. Outside zone, they motion Livingstone out of the play to clear the DB and see they have man coverage. On the snap Goosby does his job. Stroh gets beaten so badly on his reach block he falls and takes everyone trying to get to their blocks behind him out. No play better shows that Sark needs to cut outside zone calls down to no more than 2 or 3 a game. This line just isn't built to run this shit at the guard spots. Either that or get Stroh and Campbell out and try 2 other guards. Screen_Recording_20250917_194145_YouTube.mp4
  2. Watched some film of the line again from this game. Pass pro wasn't bad overall. Have some breakdowns in the running game with some video to show exactly what's breaking down. I'll start off with some good stuff from the first drive of the game. First snap of the game. Good ol' gap scheme GY Counter. Endries is the TE (Y) that will pull along with Stroh (G). One of the best blocked runs of the game right off the bat. Stroh pulls and stones his man, Endries pulls and does the same, and pay attention to Campbell. Gets to the 2nd level and drives the backer like he should. 8 yds for Baxter. Screen_Recording_20250917_194457_YouTube.mp4 Next run looks like power left. Campbell pulls this time and gets one of his best blocks of the game. TE is blocking down with Goosby and they clear the hole. This failure is not on the line, it's on Clark. Play looks blocked to go B gap behind the pulling guard and inside the TE if the guard has inside leverage and the TE is blocking down, which they are. Stroh is slow to get to the 2nd level which means the backer probably gets Clark, but should be a 6 or 7 yd gain if he runs the correct gap. Inexperienced running back mistake. Screen_Recording_20250917_194934_YouTube.mp4 Next play is similar except they motion the TE play side to lead then pull the RG Campbell to get the numbers advantage. Again, blocked well for the 3rd straight gap run to start the game. Again the failure is on Clark for not running where the play is blocked. He's supposed fo follow Campbell into the hole but for some reason cuts it A gap right into the defense. Watch the path had he run it correctly right off Campbell's hip. Big gain potential putting him 1 on 1 with a DB. Screen_Recording_20250917_201724_YouTube.mp4 Next play. Looks like inside zone where the linemen make a zone wall across the front and the TE comes back across the formation to eliminate the weak side rusher. Again, this is blocked well and again Clark reads it wrong. The play is blocked to go up inside on the A gap and he bounces it out to the C gap. Had he followed the blocking it's likely a first down. Clark doesn't have adequate running back vision yet. I think this drive encapsulates why we saw a lot more Gibson then Simon in the 2nd half. Screen_Recording_20250917_202511_YouTube.mp4 For shits and giggles let's look at the next play, the 4th down failure where we see the crux of Arch's problems right now. The play design is solid and a good call against coverage. Wingo at the top is the primary read who gets a good release off the line and runs the in breaking route. The TE runs the stop route in front to suck in the coverage and give Arch the winner. It's a timing route and Arch needs to read it and release the ball on Wingo's break. We see him read it but hesitate. He then steps up in the pocket and is so late the window closes and a DB gets in the lane. He tries to rush it and side arm one to Wingo and burns it in the grass. He has to get that timing back before this offense can start winning. Screen_Recording_20250917_203341_YouTube.mp4 If Sark had stuck to this style I think they could have eventually gotten on track. The gap runs and the one inside zone were mostly well blocked. Should have been much bigger gains. Unfortunately, Sark couldn't help himself and reverted back to his binky... outside zone. I'll pull up some examples from a drive in the 3rd quarter where shit falls apart.
  3. Let's not get crazy now. No one is trashier than MMA fans
  4. I have no doubt Arch looks good in practice. This is some mental shit. Most of his bad throws seem to be a factor of him not trusting his reads and hesitating. Then he's a step behind and rushes the throw with shit mechanics. He moves well in the pocket and is getting time to make plays. Just has to trust his read and let it fly on the correct timing.
  5. That song playing at that moment is perfect. All this white on white violence out there these days. Bunch of domestic terrorists
  6. Yeah, I'm not showing that to say anyone should feel bad for them. Shit, we should be feeling bad for ourselves right now. But that's just an example of the lack of community combined with living in a late stage democracy where the oligarchs have taken over and are bleeding the country dry like venture capitalists. Everyone that isnt rich is feeling the hurt to some extent no matter who they voted for, and it's only getting worse. I expect political killings, mass shootings, and crimes of desperation to grow and grow until the fascist regime brutally clamps down. If these clowns even have the competence to clamp down on anyone.
  7. Bitch, you're a backup to Flacco and Dylan Gabriel
  8. I do have a plan to get us out of the continental US within 48 hours if need be. That would be temporary to allow some time to figure out a more permanent, lower cost place to live. It's difficult when you make good money but aren't "retire in your early 40s with 2 young adult daughters" rich.
  9. As far as not having a community to belong to, that's one of the biggest issues. The US has had a culture of weak familial bonds for a long time, and social media has replaced a lot of the in person social time we used to have. Inflation going out of control just seems to make that part worse. The community aspect of religion is helpful as long as it doesn't turn into a hate cult. Which, unfortunately, it mostly has. This lady accumulates social media posts of Americans venting. You can tell these are young people in need of support and feel let down by their country and community.
  10. The rest was good stuff and I agree, but this I think has been proven not true. The majority of the religious in the US are a major part of the hatred, callous, selfishness problem. Then historically speaking the countries that are run more secular in nature tend to be able to find the middle ground and address problems me efficiently. Think the Scandinavian countries and Japan in the modern world. They aren't ever perfect, but they tend to avoid some of the biggest traps religious societies fall into. My theory is because belief in a religion opens a mind up to belief in other things that also either have zero evidence to support, or have mountains of evidence to refute. Like believing in trump and the conservative lie.
  11. There's one thing in common with every sector of American society that has gotten us to this point of failure. A refusal to adhere to any sort of ethical standard for common decency. Over and over again every step of the way down has been littered with people only looking out for themselves and not caring about what their actions will do to the greater country at large. From the corporate obsession with profit over people, to the politicians being openly and legally bought to allow it to happen. Down to these farmers and the regular maga voter who expect to be given everything while expecting everything is taken from anyone not like them. It takes a whole lot of callous indifference, hatred, and greed in a society to devolve to the point of electing someone like trump. Then to elect him again after the disasterous first term, pandemic failure, and insurrection/theft of classified materials is deranged lunacy.
  12. It's a direct result of this interior line not having the foot quickness to reach block on OZ. They can't do it and fall over themselves trying to get out there while the small quick DL of UTEP and SHSU cross their faces. Asking them to block that is like asking Ewers to run Haynes King's offense. Or asking VY to run Peyton Manning's offense. It's stupidity. Why did they recruit extra large dudes on the line if they wanted to run so much zone blocking? Zone blocking was created 35+ years ago as a way for undersized, quick linemen to be able to force the bigger DL to move laterally where they could engage them and wall them off without having to drive block them to create space for the backs. It's not meant for linemen with a massive size advantage and slower feet than the DL. I just don't get why the fuck Sark is putting these dudes through this.
  13. I lie awake at night wondering what the tell tale sign will be to get my family out of the mainland US. And wondering if I'll recognize it in time.
  14. They are finding out. They expected trump to give them handouts like last time, expected trump to give them access to lower cost, almost slave labor. Their greed and callous indifference to human life led them to ruin. There's no reason to bail them out again, they are useless to trump. They will be ruined and trump's billionaire buddies will toss them aside and it'll be all corporate industrial farming.
