    Just horrible, sloppy mechanics. Ewers really needs to work on his mechanics over the offseason. They’re absolutely terrible.

    Any time Sark has a chance to put things together and get the program going in the right direction you can always count on him to fuck it up. About half time Sark teams come out completely flat like this. It’s pretty incredible really.

    Ovie is horrible. No pass rush and gets blown up on the third down run.

    Jalen Green missing a tackle and then biting on PA to give up a wide open TD on back to back plays feels very familiar.

    I also have friends who went there, but my friends went there this millennium.

    And if any of those things were actually true you might have a point.

    Burt was a Charlie guy all the way. I remember when we thought John Burt was a big get before anyone knew he couldn’t catch.

    That recruitment was by far our biggest failure of the cycle last year. He’s the one we should’ve been able to land.

    Otmar is such a whiny bitch. lol

    No. We got Neyor because we wanted to have 3 good receivers on the roster. He was never a Worthy replacement.

    You sound like a TexAgs poster complaining about our class last year. First year coaches always get a bump regardless of record, especially at blue bloods.

    And doing this without any homerun portal additions is even more impressive. I’d call Watts a home run portal addition, and the reason we didn’t get another is largely due to PK doing a poor job recruiting so I’m not sure that’s a huge credit to him. Yep. There’s been a big change in aggressiveness the last two games. Those combined with Bama have been our best performances, and I’d say those have been the three most aggressive defenses called. I’m hopeful it’s something PK has figured out and not just a fluke. It’s not just about blitzing. Our guys are playing more aggressive coverages. There’s nowhere near as much off coverage as other games where we’ve been picked apart. It’s a very distinct difference.

    That’s not really a good example, because their engine games were most helpful in qualifying. But it’s definitely a trend for Ferrari to design fast cars in quali that chew their tires so they have bad race pace. Combine that with Leclerc who’s the best qualifier in the whole grid and Ferrari strategy and reliability and you’re going to have a lot of poles not turn into wins. I think Ferrari strategy and reliability cost Leclerc 4-5 wins this year alone and I think it was 3-4 back in 2019 too.

    Definitely not true for the refueling era but otherwise, probably. It’s also been harder to follow closely in almost every era before these new regs. Even last year, pole position/track position meant way more than it does this year.

    He failed at CB so they gave him a shot at Safety to see if things would change. We have almost no depth at CB. The fact they moved him from there this offseason was a clear sign he wasn’t doing well.

    It’s not really a mystery. He’s got good size and speed but he doesn’t process the game mentally so it doesn’t matter.

    Yesterday’s game didn’t show anything about Sark learning, we just had a dominant run game against a horrible run D. His biggest issues are adjustments and figuring out the drop 8 defense. Neither of those came into play.
  18. Burt Macklin
    The reason we struggled against TCU was because Sark wasnt throwing it side to side and intermediate where the gaps were. He was running it and throwing it deep, which is exactly why that defense is designed to stop. Quinn not throwing better deep balls isn’t why we lost to TCU. That was on Sark.
  19. Burt Macklin
    The OL did play terrible, but I put a lot of the blame on Sark. TCU lined up in drop eight and then had their front sell out to stop the run. Sark played right into their hands and gave our OL a very difficult job for 3 quarters. It wasn’t until we started hitting WR screens that we forced the defense to back off and then everything improved. If Sark wasn’t so befuddled by the drop 8 D, our OL would’ve looked a lot better all game. Yeah, there wasn’t a single guy on offense who was ready to play that game. When every single person is playing terrible, I put that on the coaching first and foremost.

    This is a crazy stat. It never made sense to me why we wouldn't push the ball last year when we were a very athletic squad that would often get bogged down in our half court offense, but this year we're even more athletic with better ball handlers and we are killing teams in transition. The easy points were getting with our lock down defense is a lethal combo. I think the fast break points will go a long way towards making up for any shooting deficiencies we might have, and after last night's game, we might be a good bit better at shooting than expected.

    He averaged 15-9 with a 49/37/74 split his second year at Vandy. I said he was the best transfer we got last year, and I think I was right. I just didn’t realize it would take him a year to get healthy.
  22. Burt Macklin
    This is the healthy Disu I thought we were getting last year. Dude is a beast.
  23. Burt Macklin
    I’m still trying to process the first half I just watched. A coherent offense that pushes the pace combined with last year’s defense got me all like

    This team (and stadium) fucks.

    I don't think this is right at all. I believe they messed up their assignments on Quarters coverage and both went for the out route, instead of one of them staying on the post. By the time the QB threw it, there was absolutely nothing either of them could do. It was a busted coverage, not a lack of effort or giving up on the play. I refuse to go back and rewatch any part of that game, but my recollection is they were in quarters and the out route by #2 was deep enough that the safety should stay with him while the CB (Brooks) stays with #1 on the post. Brooks bit on the out route, likely not realizing that the stem was deep enough to keep the safety locked on #2.
