  1. Smart to preempt the posts about how Jimbo's team is gonna get its shit pushed in all year.
  2. I don't know if this is intended to be parody or not, but it's not accurate based on my rewatch. Cosmi and Kerstetter were both great. Kerstetter has a way different job as center than he did at right tackle and most of the time against UTEP, he was playing against a nose guard. Very rarely did I see Kerstetter get beat, and I don't think I ever saw him make a mental error and blow his assignment. Our next best lineman, based on my watch, was Okafor. He played a pretty clean game and was solid in pass pro. Christian Jones played fine. There were some times where he missed an assignment (mentally) and a few times where he got beat (usually after first engaging). He was okay. Angilau was pretty obviously our worst OL on my rewatch. Several mental errors where he just blows his assignment. For example, on the 2 yard run by Roschon to go up 20-0, we run inside zone and Angilau leaves unblocked the guy that's right over him. The DL runs right past Roschon and doesn't blow up the play, but it's a huge and inexcusable error. Angilau ends up running around like a chicken with its head cut off on this play, really not doing anything. There were too many Angilau plays that looked like this on my rewatch. But look at the other OL. They do a fine job. Cosmi does a great job and is still locked up with his dude in the end zone when Roschon scores. Kerstetter gets great movement on his block. Okafor's block is solid enough, although the DL is able to disengage from him. Christian Jones drives a poor safety across the hash. I'm not sure why Wiley doesn't try to work to #28. If this were a real zone-read call, the DE actually gives Sam a pull read: look at how hard #10 crashes to Roschon; he's the guy that makes the tackle. If there were a real read, Sam should pull the ball, but #28 would be lurking over the top. Once Wiley helps Cosmi with the combo block, he should be looking for work and #28 runs right off of his hip.
  3. I have some concerns that UTEP did have some success throwing the ball up the seams and on shorter slant routes. My initial reaction was that a lot of that was caused by LBs not finding their drops correctly, leaving windows open across the middle of the field.
  4. Here is Collins' first collegiate series. It's impressive in its own right for a kid's first ever live bullets at defensive tackle: 1st and 10: Collins is lined up in a 3 technique. He's pretty clearly got a stunt on, because he shoots from the 3 technique into the A gap, which turns out to be a pretty bad stunt against what appears to be outside zone. But he's never really blocked, due to his quickness. You can see the guard flail at him throughout the gif. He recovers from the stunt (although only after getting waaay upfield) and makes it back to the ballcarrier to help with the tackle. If you watch closely, you can see BJ Foster help clean up the tackle, too. 2nd and 5: This is Collins's best play of the (short) drive. He's again lined up in a 3-technique and again stunts inside the guard (Sweat, playing 1 technique, stunts, too, so this was called and is not just Collins stunting every time). His stunt is so quick, both the guard and center have to catch him, and he almost splits their double team. As a result, neither lineman can gain any traction to get a block on the second level (in fact, Collins pushes them both back a yard and a half). As a result, when the ballcarrier turns north and south, Overshown is waiting for him in the hole. 3rd and 3: The DL runs the same stunt again, slanting to the weak side of the formation. Jacquess and Overshown both attack their gaps, too, and the line of scrimmage becomes, basically, a wasteland of felled UTEP linemen. Adimora does a really nice job of keeping his inside shoulder free, which forces the ball carrier to kick outside instead of finding a gap off tackle. As a result, Josh Thompson is free to clean up the ball carrier, and he does a really nice job of demonstrating Ash's rugby tackling technique--instead of the 2019 tackling version of launching himself at his opponent, Thompson attacks his inside leg and hip and lifts the knee to stop the ballcarrier's progress. While it would've been nice to see Thompson keep his legs moving and drive the ball carrier to the ground, Thompson's work gives Adimora plenty of time to help clean up the tackle, forcing a punt. Here's the reply from the All-22 angle. You can see Collins speed again gets him past the guard, but the ball is going outside, so with so much trash at the line, he basically just makes a pile. As a result of Collins' pile (and Sweat getting moved by guard/tackle combo block), Overshown misses a potential run through opportunity. Jacquess and the sniffer back pretty much just headbutt each other and fall over. BJ Foster basically does nothing on the play except patty-cake with the right tackle. Ossai is badly held at the end of the play, or he might have gotten to the ball carrier before Adimora. You can really see from the All-22 how influential Adimora is to the ball carrier's pth. Because Adimora stays in his gap--and inside the tight end--the ballcarrier has to take a wider track, leading him right into Thompson's open arms.
  5. He and BJ Foster must have been training together during COVID.
  6. That's almost certainly true in terms of raw talent. But their offense doesn't really rely on putting freak athletes in space and letting them go off. Their offense is predicted on super crisp routes and understandings of coverage, as well as WRs blocking for the run game. In no universe are three super raw, young WRs better than the guys who just left.
  7. Is there any way they try (at least before forfeiting) to delay the game to later in the year, so that they have their suspended players on the field against us?
  8. Surely he means apocryphal, right?
  9. That's because Chip Brown writes fiction.
  10. Oh shit their defense is gonna suuuuuuck.
  11. This is true, although I think his JW Walsh packages would also suggest that, if worst comes to worst, Yurcich is absolutely more than willing to run QB Draw/ZR/Power Read/QB power/etc. until the cows come home, if that's what's working.
  12. You don't remember goofy-ass Taylor "Corndog" Cornelius absolutely decimating us with QB Zone Read when we played @ oSu two years ago??? Yurcich uses his QB as a running threat in very smart and fucking useful ways, and in 2018, it fucking sucked.
  13. Fixed it for you.
  14. Glad to hear someone bring a fraiche take to the board.
  15. This doesn't even acknowledge that they spent their meth money on WrestleMania PPVs, not knowing they were going to have to pony up $60 to see Oklahoma take on Missouri State.
  16. Didnt realize sticking to Greek puns was going to be such a Herculean task.
  17. The dude who went Egyptian god was closer than this renaissance-era German legend.
  18. But they're Telemaching me crazy!
  19. Wrong period of classical antiquity, dumbass. Let me guess, your only response is, "It's all Greek to me!"
