Had Enough

Volleyball is fine but I don’t have a long standing tradition of attendance. There are several elements that Baylor incorporates. And they did it before us.

But not calling a timeout left them the potential of a limited risk Hail Mary to end the half.

It may be part timing too. QE throws it a bit hot and let’s it fly early on occasion as well. If it’s earlier than expected, off a bit and coming quick, that makes catching it a little more difficult.

The play right after the penalty on the TD run for CSU the Colorado dude throat punched the C. No call obviously.

Same shit on offense since the crack back was disallowed. You often see WRs come inside and stand in the way of a defender. I’m not sure what you call that other than a block. I suppose if we wish to be literal, then I guess there no actual block.

Are you talking about the dude that didn’t run a real route, had no interest in looking like he wanted to catch a pass and blocked the defender?

No a 6 year career is not typical. But it’s not typical that a dude comes to football late as a high schooler, works with 2/3 coaches under 2/3 schemes and misses a spring/summer/parts of a season either. Then the dude gets thrown at LT before he’s even mastered the RT spot and faces off against well above average to great players in the Big 12. He was more productive as a run blocker than in pass pro. And his struggle was mostly against quick twitch guys. So you say 4 year guy, but it was really his 3rd year, which is typically the natural progression for many Olinemen. He was heavily ridiculed and overly criticized. So what you highlighted was those handful of plays and perhaps even the meaningless stats I quoted - 1 sack, 1 pressure. Again against an NFL caliber dude. But certainly with 600 yards of offense and 50 plus points he made some good blocks in that game. I don’t have the stats now, but there are metrics from 2021 that says the run blocking was damn good. We also gave up fewer TFL that year than our opponents per game averages in all but 2/3 teams. We faced 3/4 top 10ish teams in that stat too. They were a well above average run blocking unit. But yes kudos to both Jones and Flood for where we are today. I just wish Jones hadn’t been a little bitch two years ago. So there. Your final word if you want it.

A true leader wouldn’t seek permission.

Versus KU in 2021 he allowed 1 sack and 1 pressure. That sack by the way was by a guy that played in 16 games the following year for the Super Bowl bound Philadelphia Eagles. Mostly special teams. Musta been a shitty player. Oh and two games later versus KSU, future Big 12 defender of the year, future NFL first rounder going against Jones had a whopping 3 tackles, no TFLs/sacks. Jones was no doubt out of position at LT in 2021 but that run blocking unit was the best we’ve had since probably 2006. The pass pro of that same team improved quite a bit over the course of the season. The sonofabitch moves people in the run game. He’s done that for a long time but bitchass fans ignored the positives because of the 1/2 piss poor plays in the pass game. And just ignore the fact that the Big 12 defensive playmakers in the front 7 that beat lots of guys to the QB that year. I’m not an advocate of Herman and his crew, but the understanding of Jones and his development is poorly understood and told. That said I hope the dude does get a 10 year run.

You may be right.

I believe they speculated there was no flag thrown because the sack was made. That’s a reasonable and acceptable possibility. The hold and sack were as close to simultaneous as you can get.

That looks like a contested and not caught ball. Damnit Worthy.

I’m not sure we were figured out when we played Bama last year. Then teams determined you could attack the intermediate middle. Then I believe we determined that our LBs need to drop rather than attack the underneath routes/chase the RB to the flat. In 2021 and early 2022, we chased much of that underneath/RB flat with a LB drawing them out of the middle. The last Bama TD was the intermediate/deep middle. From what I recall, they ran the inside guy on a vertical to push the safety deep then ran behind the LB. Depth may have been ok if the spatial awareness was on point. I think we’re still vulnerable there. Lb depth is still a bit hit or miss. The awareness to get underneath in breaking routes is hit or miss too. Fords pick versus Rice was a pretty poor throw - a tick late, too flat. Safeties were relatively tight too so Captain Transfer couldn’t air it out. But LB pass coverage is tough and difficult to find great cover guys there. Probably some unrealistic expectations too. If our pass rush stays consistent, that’ll make a huge difference.

That was a bit different since Turner arrived late. Plus if Banks blocks his man, we probably get the first down.

That look/action on AJ Hawk is pretty funny. Dude is into the play. The more shots/times I see that catch, the more incredible I realize it was. The further you run and the further the ball travels the more difficult it becomes. He caught that what 65-70 yards from where he started, it was as much over the head as the shoulder and with arms extended. I’m not sure there are that many guys alive that catch that. Pretty sure I’ve never seen one like it.

Just out of curiosity, do you gots any experience throwing passes? That catch was hard as shit by the way.

Well he was beaten by 3 different guys on their way to the QB.

You’re probably the only person that ever lived to which this happened.

You shouldn’t have gone for the kill shot. And if you miss, miss to the inside because if you give Worthy another step or two, he might be gone.

Yeah, those aren’t comparable. He made shitty throws and decisions versus OU. They were beaten from the kickoff.

Cook 2 plays. Cain 5 plays. Neyor, Moore none. Campbell/Hutson 45/55 split.

Yes, I do.

He had about 2 poor throws and 2 poor decisions. One of those picks was a 2 man route. That was probably more about inexperience feeling he had to throw rather than reading the defense. Im guessing the first we fooled him in that he didn’t prepare for what we gave him. I’m having a difficult time reconciling Bamas QB play this year to last year. They scored more points. They had no long TD runs this year. Our defense is better. They didn’t block much in the passing game. Young made a dumb decision throwing on the safety-non safety call. It’s also forgotten the Jamison was a hair from a pick 6. And let’s not forget Jamison went out so even though Bamas WRs weren’t good, they played against frosh getting their first real action in place of Jamison. His late game run hold was not called. Yeah, no shit Young’s good. Just maybe it wasn’t all about the QB.
