Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Had Enough replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Michigan blitzed 45% of pass plays, Georgia 33%. Vandy was above 50%. OU 31%. For Vandy, Rinaldi and Fontenelle both rush the passer quite a bit but numbers look as though that was in overdrive versus us. I suspect they felt as they had to be the aggressor because we had the talent advantage. The success in the UM game versus the others is Ewers broke the pocket several times and made them pay. Unfortunately, two were called back. It was not us necessarily executing as the play was intended. We did have the big pass on the opening drive. But that should have never worked against cover 3. That was poor defensive execution rather than a poor call. -
I just looked at it and Campbell was last by a comfortable margin. Banks is #1 in run blocking and overall. But no the masses donāt agree because Conner was #2 overall. Thing about the grades is they finalize at odd times and Iām not sure how many iterations they go through before itās finalized.

Are you talking the same Mac Jones that hit almost 60% of his deep balls for 17 TDs? The one who had an average depth of target of 8.8 yards? Ewers probably just throws his screens much further behind the LOS to bring that average depth of target down. Sark does have stellar screen/short passing game. Heās had occasions here when the O is struggling a bit and hasnāt used it enough. -
Iād probably give him a little more credit than most, but thereās a lotta dudes out there that were unfortunate as to their timing in life and when it was their time to be a Horn. Coaching matters. A lot. As a player, Iām not sure thereās ever been a better time to be a Horn than now. They just need a championship to make that a no doubter.

Was Diggs S in 2013? Thompson was solid. Phillips was pretty heavily criticized. 2017 had Brandon Jones and D. Elliott. Thatās probably the duo right there.

That was overblown based on uninformed, biased opinions and unrealistic expectations. Last year, we played a high value slate of QBs that had a great deal of experience. And some very solid Olinemen. Solid skill position guys. This year, itās hammered dogshit. I mean Dillon Gabriel whipped our ass, right? He had 7 games with more passing yards, and it was his lowest QBR or rating or so on the season. The pass rush was largely ineffective. Team game. For 3 years now, weāre top 10 in DFEI with improvement each year. You canāt get there with a unit that doesnāt contribute. Each year the player fit, the cohesion and the consistency should improve. Thatās where we are now. We also have a front that makes those QBs uncomfortable. All 3 picks were effectively caused by those guys upfront to this past weekend.

Better at what exactly? Mukuba was MIA versus OU. Didnāt play versus Vandy. Taaffe is a pretty impactful player.

Retard, pussy, whatever. Iāve heard it before. Ive enjoyed his critique of Ewers to point. It has gone past that point however. -

You mean like when the UGa CB make the big play in the game? Mostly bring a smartass on this comment. More wideouts, likely more unidentified blitzers however. I donāt have the breakdown but Iām not sure 2 TEs hasnāt been more successful scoring points than more WRs. I do question a bit whether all the transfers have great chemistry with Ewers, could introduce some hesitation. -
A bit curious as to why Mukuba got on the Lott list over Taaffe.

Versus MSU our top 2 RBs were at 6+ YPC. Same for OU. Vandy was at 4.7. Wisner at 3.5 versus UGa. The mighty SEC defenses. Imagine how great weād be versus Big 12. We are winning the next 4. Georgia is anomaly in talent and circumstance. Vandy was a recovery and one game. -

I donāt know the specifics here, but this comp is potentially bogus. Players take themselves out all the time, particularly RBs. So if that was because he was effectively performing that role, itās a little different than a drop back passer. I wouldnāt expect the Qb to come out for such a reason but context is important. And I can tell you as one who once played QB and ran the ball, shit happens that makes talking in the huddle more difficult. -

This is some good stuff. An element of most everybody correct except a little over the top about it. Itās the YouTube effect. Everybodyās an expert now. The truth when watching live you donāt see all the action. People go off that feel, which generally most people are terrible. Then theyāre terrible after theyāve reviewed the film when talking relative terms. What is reasonable and what is expected. At the disgust of Hank Hill and @HenryJames, bless his soul, I am going to reference PFF. Pressure rates on QBs vary from a bit under 20% to over 40%. You may have a few outliers on the extremes. So the very best over the course of the season are allowing pressure quite often whether thatās a missed assignment, getting beat, maybe the QB missing the read. That Willisms play Id guess doesnāt even register as a pressure. Thereās no clear path to the QB. That happens all day, every day. When talking bigger picture, we are now talking that Ewers can light a defense up but needs protection. Thatās true for any QB that ever played. Play makers matter. Same for any QB that ever played. For me, Iām not a traits guy. Many of you are. Thatās what Ewers often is. He can sling it and he threw that no look pass once. But itās consistency of effort that he needs. He led us to wins, a Big 12 championship. All those other bums couldnāt. To compare those environments to this one is not comparable. To compare the talent is not comparable. The experience is not comparable. Sark as OC to his predecessors. Ok. Things like OFEI/DFEI and PFF are doing work for you. They are imperfect, but they tell you things too. And in relative terms for you to compare. Here is what those things have said. Our DFEI ranks higher than OFEI in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Yet the critique of the overall defense last year is less than positive, but you can argue from that metric that our defense was every bit the reason that we won a championship. As to Ewers himself, his grades and metrics relative to his peers shows that he was barely top 20 last year, lowest of the final 4 participants. Below all the first round draft picks. This year he ranks poorly including several horrid grades. The offense last year was absolutely loaded with talent. Like never before at Texas. The NFL draft told you that. Their recruiting profiles told you that. Their combine results showed you some uniqueness. The offensive line may not have been spectacular last year or this, but itās a very solid unit. The negativity is over the top. Weāre right in the thick of it. Weāve seen the most talented team, and we know there are opportunities. But Ewers also gotten too much credit given all of the above. It doesnāt mean he hasnāt had some great throws or games. At a minimum heās inconsistent and he hasnāt carried the team on his back at the end of games like Vince or Colt or Sam. Even Case pulled the rabbit out of the hat twice. -

Yes, the focus on the long ball is only part of the equation. Thatās 20 + air yards. Weāre not attacking that 10-19 yard range either. Every pass coverage you run has weaknesses and none of them completely shut off 10 yards and beyond. The closest would be man, and it sounds as though Vandy didnāt do that. Not to mention no one has that many good cover guys. Cover 2 sure isnāt taking everything away. Neither is Cover 3. 4/6 whatever. Good play callers know how to work them all. The long pass to Moore versus OU, the TD to Helm versus UM were off schedule plays so a portion of our big plays were not even play calls. If Sark is protecting his QB, thatās fine. I donāt blame him for trying the short stuff versus Vandy, but letās not act as though 17 straight completions is some amazing feat versus that defense given the nature of those throws. Many a college QB is completing 80-90% of those. We scored so thereās no complaint. The numbers can be parsed however but Wisner has a higher YPC than Baxter did last year. After Brooks went down, it was Baxter/Blue versus Wisner/Blue this year. From a sheer rushing standpoint, that shouldnāt be a significant decrease in production or ability. And for the record, that average depth of target is not low because of Georgia or Vandy, it was sub-7 yards before that game. Think it was 9.4 last year. Pass pro can impact that but again no one was touching Ewers early in the season, and it was down 25%+ from the prior year. All the offense can do better. The defense is good enough. The schedule is favorable enough. Man for man do better. -

Iām not attempting to get in a big argument. Iām not advocating for Arch. Everything is front of this team. Ewers can be the QB for a team that wins it all. But this is an example of what he needs to do better. Heās done better. He can do better. He doesnāt need to climb the pocket. Anticipate, stand and deliver. Bolden is open out of the break. Maybe we need less play action. Maybe we need more reps together. We arenāt making enough of these plays whomever is at fault. -

Quick search using 20% of snaps as a qualifier, 9 QBs have a 90+ grade. 1 Olineman. So five times as many linemen on any given play. -

Had Enough replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
I use it for context. Context says grade QBs against QBs not relative to other positions. For example Gunnar often has poor scores likely because of his blocking which may often be against DEs. QBs donāt have to run the play correctly and beat their man like other positions. -

Something is different but when ācleanā per PFF, the ball is out from 2.18 seconds to 2.28 seconds over the past 3 years, but the average depth of target has dipped from 10.4 yards to 4.7 yards. His overall depth of target was down prior to Georgia and Vandy. Heās passed on some open guys this year but no idea how that compares year over year. I would almost wager that the Olines early season success in pass protection made his sense of urgency less and thatās working against him now that he is being rushed. On that corner blitz versus Georgia, I think in years past that ball is out of his hands. Even if he has another second, heās not making a completion because heās not ready to throw. It might also be that his WRs are all new so the trust isnāt quite there. -

That sounds good in theory. However, weāve played 4 SEC defenses. One terrible, one mediocre and one that was a Big 12 team. Then one known to be more talented than everyone else. Nevermind that we played Bama each of the past two years and accuses in pass pro. The sacks from Georgia largely came from two guys. One a LBer who attacked some from off the ball. Both top 15-ish draft prospects. I canāt say exactly where they lined up on the specific plays but all the Vandy sacks came from guys listed as LBs or SS. The 3-3-5 should be more multiple in bringing pressure and in coverage too. -

Yes, you fucking idiot. Iāve watched all the games for years. Damn near all of them again. Can you name one other Duke offensive player this year? Any of them run a 4.2 40? A 4.3? Any projected 1st rounders on the Oline? First RBs taken? #1 recruits at RB? TCU brought the wood? It was 26-6 at the half and after 3. Thatās bringing the wood. Please explain to me you cowardly chickenshit how that deathly environment didnāt kick in until the 4th? No, I donāt think Murphy is catching it like Mitchell caught it. But yeah he might have been able to throw that. Maybe he does not have to do it. As for ISU, they had 9 points thru 3 quarters. Comparatively speaking, our defense was better than our offense. Again, yes, we absolutely can win those games. No guarantees. I cannot prove you wrong thatās got certain. -

Have you not learned how one game is not transitive to the next? Ewers has turned the ball over 3 times in game yet he hasnāt done it every game. He did that versus OU. Had Murphy been the QB the entirety of the season, heās likely better than what he was with isolated starts. In spite of the KSU turnovers, one of which was Brooks and a completely missed PI on KSU that could effectively lead to the game over at halftime, we scored 30 points in regulation. How does that compare to the ISU and TCU games from a sheer point standpoint? Comparable metrics. DFEI ranks. OU 15 KSU 16 Isu 48 BYU 51 TCU 60 Because this metric says the KSU defense is considerably better than TCU and ISU. BYUs offense was terrible. Thatās why they werenāt any good. Interestingly enough, OU was 9th in OFEI, KSU was 10th. OU won 1 more game than KSU because they beat us. OU/KSU are comparable teams. Overall, weāre better than all those teams. When you get injuries different players take on more of the burden, the game plans change. Theres no guarantees, but we sure as shit were better than ISU and TCU. And both with young QBs. -

So he wasnāt 2-0 as starter? After 1 possession versus UH we were tied, and we won. He did a win a third of our Big 12 games. Again in my opinion, the KSU win was the most difficult Big 12 win that we actually got. I am not saying there was anything special about him or his play. By and large it was not a strong Big 12. We already had more talent than everyone else everywhere. We are beating the hell out of OSU in that championship game no matter what. But I suppose itās correct that Murphy, Sweat, Worthy, Sanders, Brooks, Ford, Whittington, Robinson, Mitchell all got drafted because they were mediocre talents. By the way, Iām not arguing against Ewers in any fashion. Iām arguing in favor of those dudes and the guys still here that were big contributors. We were a damn team last year just as we are this year. No reason last year or this year to concede anything to anyone. -

It could be an interesting debate. In my opinion KSU was our most difficult Big 12 game resulting in a win last year. Maybe a missed PI call from being a blowout though. If we donāt beat Bama, weāre not in the playoff. Or maybe we are in if we beat OU. We absolutely could have beaten every Big 12 team with Murphy at QB. Obviously not guarantee but if so, that gives us a chance. It was not one of the more difficult Big 12 schedules weāve faced. -
Arch has an average time to throw of 2.71 seconds at average depth of target at 10.7 yards. Last year Penix was 2.68 seconds. At 10.7 yards. Drake Maye at 2.79, 11.0. Nix. 2.44 at 6.8. McCarthy. 2.84 at 9.4. There are a number of variables and ways this is broken down. Iāve seen nothing within the numbers to indicate that Arch holds the ball too long. Iām sure occasionally, but that can be said for most QBs. There were comments about him not recognizing blitz versus MSU. Now we have the veteran getting tagged by an unseen blitzer. You can pretty much select certain plays from any QB that exhibit these same flaws. This week there have been several posters stating the Oline didnāt play as poorly as they thought. Point is that in real time its too difficult to see it all so perceptions can be distorted. In the end Arch hasnāt done enough of anything to know what heās capable of doing consistently right now.
