Horns impressive. Ewers looks like he has his mojo back. Now if Sark can keep from calling double screens that lose six yards and force us into obvious passing situations, we've got this. D has stepped up. Kick fucking Ass, Horns! -

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Irish Wrist Watch replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Look, we've been waiting two months for Quinn to get over this psychological hump he's got inside the thirty. Using an ambiguous, difficult to define term like "soft" to describe his throws might be difficult for him to process in the heat of the moment. On the other hand, if we define them as "pussy throws", the phrase will strike terror straight ionto the heart of his cerebral cortex. If I was a QB accused of making pussy throws, I'd never fucking make another one in my life. I'd be up at dawn the next day - with my head coach - firing, I mean FIRING that fucking ball threw that fucking tire! Quinn would turn 2 of 10 for 5 into 8 of 10 for 90. I hope it's not too late... -
Did not know that. That could throw off the mechanics a bit and trim a few yards off the distance. Still, if you've got a great kicker... I'd say from your own 45 in, less than twenty seconds left in the half might be worth a try. No blockers, lower trajectory. 65 Yarder. No snapping 7 yds back. If you miss, you're giving your opponent a couple of plays inside your fifty... or, if it's the end of the game and you need those three to tie or win, the odds might be just as good as completing two six yarders to the sidelines, then adding the 7 yard snap... Just depends on conditions and your kicker. Wouldn't be surprised to find out that every couple of weeks the opportunity occurs once in the NFL.

I'll bet over half the coaches in the NFL don't even know about the Free Kick Rule. I've seen numerous instances where it woulda been a great call, but it wasn't used. And you never hear anyone in the booth call for it. Kudos to the chargers' coach and Dicker.

Streaming TNT is fucking terrible and the app doesnt work.
Irish Wrist Watch replied to Gidnik's topic in Football
https://thetvapp.to/ has been a "go to" for me this year. Page one usually lists every FB and BB (and hockey) game for that day, incl Thur Nite. (most other channels for regular TV as well, including the Tennis Channel.) Very few reboots, if any. But, occasionally it won't feed and suggests a vpn. If so, next stop is sportssurge. Under football ->CF (or NFL) you'll have all the college (Pro) games of that day (they may not appear until a few hours before kickoff). For each game there are a dozen streams. The top five are pretty reliable. Several are better than Streameast. All of above are pretty much Hi-Def. Not quite as good as Satellite, usually. One caution, if you tune in late, like the fourth quarter, your game may not be listed anymore. So if the stream you were on goes to shit and you have to return to the main page... (This is rare). That can be overcome by using tabs so that the original list of streams per game remains on your browser. (I Use Edge) or keeping an extra backup stream in a new tab (don't run it, though). Once a game is de-listed, you can usually find it on the streamer's site. Not too familiar with Youtube. Have used it some. Might be a great HRes alternative. Don't tell anybody. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Irish Wrist Watch replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
All the drops last week makes me think that something is deeply wrong with this offense.. I think maybe Quinn's lack of success in the Red Zone combined with his ability to turn the ball over combined with his hesitancy (or self-doubt, or nervousness, whatever) in the Red Zone, combined with some god-awful passes/near interceptions in the Red Zone has bled over to the rest of the players. The whole fucking team behind Quinn seems to have a lack of focus, a "what's gonna go wrong next" psychosis. A ball is thrown too slowly, perhaps and it throws off their timing as they wait to get whacked after the catch... or whatever... has resulted in a team that can't score TDs inside the Zone, and I haven't seen any signs in the last eight games that they're gonna get over it. They're snake bit. Sark, you've got to try something different to help them get their mojo back. Take Quinn the fuck out inside the thirty for a few possessions and see if that helps anything. Worst case scenario, it doesn't, but it helps them get the Arch monkey off their backs. Maybe they'll step up and say "I guess we're gonna have to drag Quinn across the finish line." Do something... Just try anything Sark, because the formula you've been running isn't working worth a shit. Quit being a fucking spectator. Quit being a fucking Xs and Os guru and return to being a coach that does whatever needs to be done to win. Engage the team in a new tack. Almost makes me wonder if Sark has caught a bit of the Quinn Hesitation Psychosis and it's fucking him up too. In scientific terms: Seems like everyone on offense is running around, being a pussy. Goddammit, you got to beat these motherfuckers next Saturday. Hop to it. -

Game Week Thread 2024 Playoffs Round 1: Clemson at Texas
Irish Wrist Watch replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Great analysis, wildly liked by Surly, hard to watch. Ewers is warmed over dogshit inside the 25 yardline. WAshington game all over again. Fucking EMBARRASSING. You're right about Sark though. He needs an Offensive Coordinator or at least advisor who is planning ahead while the D is on the field. And he sure as hell needed to do a better job running the ball. Georgia gave the rest of the league a blueprint on how to stop QE. Of course, no amount of planning is going to compensate for the crap passes Tippytoes was throwing out there. Arch gets five on a first down play, which makes getting another first down almost inevitable. We get it, and does Sark put him back in for the next first down play? Fuck no. I'd say the best plan might be that once we reach an opponents thirty, to have Second Teamers bind and gag Ewers on the sideliine and perhaps roll him up in a tarp so that Sark has to play Arch. Release him with each new possession, but have a crack unit ready to run on the field and drag him to the sidelines once we reach the red zone. Could work. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Irish Wrist Watch replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
That's some great insight that seems to get lost in all this. When you get a QB out of the pocket, often you will see one tackler and wide open spaces in front of him. He can turn it into a nice running gain, or because everyone on the D is freaking out, he can turn it into a forty yard TD pass. The problem most QBs have with the latter scenario is that they're not accurate passers when they're on the run. Not only is Arch fast and can beat that one tackler, but I'm pretty sure he's damn accurate on those types of passes. -

Irish Wrist Watch replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Anyone expecting a defense to hold a quality team to 14 or so points is an idiot. It happens, but against a good team it only takes one play to break your back and end your season. That's why anybody who is satisfied with scoring 16 points is a fucking moron. Anything under thirty points for our offense should dissapoint the hell out of us. "Playing good enough to win" is just another platitude to go with "at least we won 9 games this year." Fuck that. Tell that to Nick Saban. In saddling us with Tippytoes Ewers in the Red Zone, Sark is running 85 octane fuel into a high performance engine. It raises a question: many said that Georgia players stepped up their game with the entry of the freshman QB, likely adrenaline. Well, seems like the fading of the adrenaline is a natural phenomena that happens when your QB isn't out there MAKING things happen. When you continually fail in the Red Zone, the players sort of get used to it. We saw what happened when the rush kicked in on their side. Perhaps having a fresh young go getter at QB would raise everyone's play just a notch (although I don't think you would be able to notice it on our kick ass defense)? -

Which brings us full circle to my 50/50 strategy for Clemson, born at Surly and soon to catch steam with ESPN Overlords. Give Arch a legit shot. Sark thanks Surly in post Natty interview, Board swell to thousands. Weekly roundup on ESPN. Big monthly membership charges, not applicable to members before the Horns takeover of college football. -

We already heard from a credible source (A Surly Poster) that Arch is kicking ass in practice. So if Sark thinks averaging 7 pts per second half over an eight game stretch is the best we can do, then perhaps I do know more than him. Or maybe he's so busy with all the other peripheral hc duties that he doesn't even know about that statistic. In which case, I guess I and every other person on this board knows more than Sark. Maybe... he can't see the forest for the trees. Maybe Sark is so bogged down in some statistical gobbledegook that he hasn't yet figured out why we can't score... How about 2 for 10 Sark? New stat for you, courtesy of Surly Horns, your new go to site when things aren't going in accordance with your readouts. Two for fucking ten. Sark needs to get a new barometer for checking QB health. I just listed two new ones for him. I'm glad Ewers is brilliant between the twenties, but Sark just passed up a golden opportunity to make a smooth transition to a new star QB. Last night coulda been Fifty/fifty. May the best man win. Worst case scenario: we lose to GA - last night. Best case scenario, we win the SEC... and a Natty. He has the same opportunity coming up on Dec 21st. Let's hope he's pulled his head out of his ass by then and figured out how to run up 45 against Clemson. Wait, wait... it's coming to me... Let's stop running completely, giving Ewers even more shots inside the twenty. Who knows, he might kick that completion percentage up to 25 or even 30%.. We're in Orc territory now. Meri and Pippin need to sit the fuck down. -

So you're saying the best we can do is 16pts in regulation against this amazing Georgia D. That a new tack with a better QB wouldn't have made any difference? Well there are a few teams less talented than UT who did a fuck lot better than 16 points against Georgia. Quinn was 2 of fucking 10 in the Red Zone. Wake the Fuck Up! ... Two of Fucking Ten! He's the fucking problem. He and Sark. Nobody else. A better QB and we don't give a flip about a couple of missed field goals, because we score as much as those other teams did. -

I'm not saying that Sark should give Arch half the snaps as a running QB, I'm saying the special Arch Package would open up the fucking playbook to everything including RPOs. Maybe they get rid of the shit that pinned Quinn in the pocket, although Arch can do that shit all day long if necessary, but move him around in such a way that if all the receivers are taken, he doesn't have to run thru three lineman to break into the open. He gets an easy five yards and slides, or maybe he sees an opening and takes it 65 yards, pulling away from cornerbacks and safeties. Forget the lateral passes. We don't need those. Throw in a few sweeps for the RBs. Bust some fucking heads. An aside: The Horns showed they weren't afraid to bust heads against anyone last night. They just needed a leader to light them on fire. -

Both Texas and Georgia had budding superstars standing on the sideline. Only one of those got a chance to make a meaningful contribution - which he did. He fucking decided to run the ball right up our gut - and he won the fucking game for Georgia. Yeah, he got his bell rung, but he'll be back after a big rest (that we won't get). Had both budding superstars had a shot in this game, it's almost a lock ours woulda come out on top. Because Arch would have had a better Defense playing behind him. -

After the stats have come out about Quinn's 8-game second half production? Mostly against mediocre teams? I just don't think Sark will continue to fuck this team for Quinn's sake. He absolutely must realize the guy has a problem in the red zone and that means giving Arch a lot more than just a couple of snaps.
