I think Sark and Co have enough cred to trust their judgement in these matters. Coach and culture might be the difference for some of those on the fringe of bust.

only when our corches decide it's the perfect time to call that play though, not a time before or time after.

That's a very hirsute point shaggy members are likely to settle upon with enthusiasm and vigor.

Your rapier wit is impressive to say the least, and of course you have no fucks to give. And yet here you are ... methinks thou dost protest too much.

Crawford's interception is his only bright flash at Safety that I'm aware of. Otherwise, it's been one big cringefest. So much potential if his bulb would come on and stay on. Taafe and Thompson do make plays though. You know they're both going to get burned and cost us, but they also get entries on the positive side of the ledger.

With Derek out for the first half, who de we expect? Taafe and J. Thompson? I've sometimes wondered if Guilbeau shouldn't get a look at Safety since Jahdae starts at nickel. Even if he just subs in for periods, he could still spell Barron when needed. Honestly, I don't sweat Catalon gone. Aside from injuries, I don't think he was a plus against the pass. Playing downhill run support was his main thing.

I'll see what I can dial up, buddy. I see what you did there. Incidentally, who cares if rotary phones aren't a thing anymore. Old sayings are that because they stand the test of time. Now, as it regards "locked in". I think the main point was that Washington is battle tested and plays to the whistle, having found a way to win all season. Kinda sounds like Texas too.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that personnel was the primary issue. We had Diamante Tucker-Dorsey and Morice Blackwell substituting in for Overshown. Broughton was a jag last season and was useless vs the run (typically put on skates when run blocked). Likewise, Collins only flashed and mainly in the pass rush. Gbenda also played LB and he was terrible up until this season. He never knew were to be. He has also improved, but still not great. Burke was light in the ass at Edge and we still had Ovie Ogoufo. Broughton still isn't all worldly, but he has improved. Collins is much better this season. Basically, our front 7 is a substantially better group this season through development mainly and some new personnel, and we have better depth.

Washington scouted and schemed us very well last season. So I'll be surprised if they don't try to get the ball out more quickly in this game. Not sure about their OL and how well they will handle our front 7. And after scouting us, their coach might not be sure about that either. I would think they are certainly better than most, if not all of what we've faced so far. It will also be interesting to see how much the refs "let them play" as it regards holding and PI. I'm going to assume they will score often enough that our offense can't afford to come up empty for for several consecutive possessions though. Penix is a sixth year QB and has multiple weapons just like we do. And I hope we get the "in his zone" version of Ewers to start the game and not that guy who's a little off until he manages to get back in it again. A month off to this game. Can't wait for Texas Homer to get his preview out. Probably be a while since he is typically thorough.

Oh, dear. We're being accosted by a queefing twat.

I don't know whether passes over the middle, etc. are due to Sark alone, or to Ewers perhaps seeing the field better, going through his progressions and distributing the ball better. Or maybe the OL is doing better at maintaining the pocket's front line? Point being is, I often see foiled plays decried as Sark's poor play calling when often it's simply a failure of execution by one or more players. I might have even been guilty a time or too of that myself. Difficult to see everything going on as a play unfolds. Reviewing film is often revealing. I definitely think the run game has been adjusted somewhat since Brooks went down, and glad for it. I'm more concerned about how PK and our secondary handles Washington's passing game than our O against their D. I do recall they defensively schemed us well in the bowl game last season. But much has changed for us offensively since then and we don't have star players sitting this one out. Ewers mo better, OL better, and multiple offensive weapons all over to stress them with.

There's more to that history than just that. Cardale Jones played lights out against Wisconsin in the Big 10 Conference Championship game prior to Ohio State being selected as opposed to the absolutely abysmal showing against an impotent opponent by FSU vs Louisville. So the CFP had proof of capability in 2014 that was clearly not evident with FSU's backup QBs. From Wikipedia - Cardale Jones:

This bears repeating ...

Hahahahahaaaaa.....

That FG might be the only score of the game.

Georgia DB a complete mouthbreather there.

People thinking who they root for matters ...

And probably tried to fuck your pets while you weren’t looking.

That's a subjective statement given this wasn't just any game and there was still a fair amount of time left in the game. Further complicating that decision was the factor margin of victory might play in the CFP discussion. The injury is unfortunate, but I'm not going to fault Sark for that. It's football. And backups did get in the game and took reps in the end.

Suck it Hatefull Eight!
