  1. Never said anything about a glaring weakness. My take is while I’m happy he hit on the deep balls there is still room for improvement. Both Worthy and AD made really good catches but had either one dropped those people would have come down on the respective receiver when Ewers could have given them much easier passes to catch. My take is I'd much rather him work to get better on his placement on deep balls instead of having the WRs have to make difficult catches as the former will increase the success rate. We also saw a number of "drops" throughout the game and I'd wager it's because those balls weren't being placed where they normally are during reps. I suspect the Bama WRs were able to make a number of difficult catches because that's what they are used to in practice.
  2. I believe one person said it was an awful pass, just about everyone else is saying he could have made it an easier catch for his receivers. This reminds me of last year when some had their criticisms of Ewers after the OU game and were told to shut up because he played a great game and then those same issues became more present the rest of the year. I’m glad he hit on the deep balls but I hope he continues to get better.
  3. Jerrin’s biggest mistake on that bomb to Burton was flipping his hips and losing leverage on staying on top of Burton. He had inside help from Crawford so there was no real reason to react to the inside move from Burton in that manner. And if Milroe wanted to try and place that ball perfectly between them then good luck with that, but you take that instead of letting him throw a layup.
  4. This was issue #1 for the Milroe camp. And this was issue #2 Both played a part in him decommitting

  6. Maybe you don’t fully understand what you are reading. I stated in my initial post on the subject the throws were an improvement and then someone replied and said at least one of them was a perfect throw.
  7. I don’t think you fully understand what you are watching. Worthy had to make a tougher catch but in both instances there was enough green grass for Ewers to make easier passes for his WRs to catch instead of the tough over the shoulder grabs. There is more to throwing a good deep ball besides leading the receiver. Again a prime example is Milroe throwing to the open space on the Burton deep ball instead of throwing it on a line and Burton having to turn up his route and make and over the shoulder grab.
  8. The deep ball throws for TDs were an improvement but they weren’t great and certainly didn’t make it easier on the receivers. As someone pointed out the throw from Milroe to Burton is what those passes should have looked like especially the first one to Worthy. Ewers seems to throw them right at his receivers instead of in the open space for them to go get. But whatever works, I guess. Also that pass that Mitchell dropped was late allowing time for the DB to recover but Mitchell should have still snagged that one.
  9. Anybody know why Catalon only played like half the game.
  10. It’s a 4th down thing to prevent intentional fumbles and it’s not specific to QBs.
  11. That was fun. Without reading this thread I bet a bunch of you pessimistic ass pussies conceited the game when we went down 16-13. Hell of a game and I wouldn’t even say that was our best effort.
  12. More Baxter and Blue and less Brooks please. Sark is calling a great game, drops by Worthy, Brooks, and a terrible missed block by Sanders is why we don't have 20+ points right now.
  13. Look for a note to come out this week, that the staff hasn't given up hope on Corian Gipson, and there is growing confidence we can flip him down the line.
  14. Pretty sure the info on Mack is not based on anything besides UF lost last week and we won.
  15. Surly being so down on this team makes me feel better about the game this weekend. This board rarely assesses anything correctly.
  16. Texas 33-13 Bama with 357 yards
  17. Idk maybe wait to see if we are going to actually beat these teams before making this thread. This has bad juju written all over it.
  18. When you hear a RB averages "insert number" yards per carry do you imagine that is how many yards they run on each carry? And if we take your small sample size as you are doing a RB running for 30+ yards every 5 carries is pretty damn good, and I'll take one yard on the other ones. Also the defense was pretty stout yesterday despite all the players we were rotating in. Not enough talk about that thus far.
  19. I guess technically that is a good shoot but I don't understand why a cop would position himself in front of the car in that situation. Also if she just wanted to plow over the cop she could have just mashed the gas and rolled right over him, instead she turned her wheel in attempts to avoid him. Didn't look too me like he was ever in grave danger but maybe he wanted to be certain he made it home safe that night. This is probably more of cops are very bad at their jobs than a bad shoot. I wonder if it was ever confirmed she was stealing.
  20. It'll be telling if Fong nukes his pick on this one come Friday.
  21. That kid is mentally ill, it runs in his family, and I am sure the staffs at LSU, Georgia, and now Nebraska are fully aware of such. Instead of getting him some help they'd rather gamble to see if he can keep his head on straight long enough to help win some football games. I know this is funny to joke about but that kid could have easily been killed in that situation.
  22. As much shit as we give Aggie for not landing Bussey yet, I feel like Black should be committed to us by now.
  23. Hoping someone is willing to outbid aggie.
  24. If your version of being funny is running the same tired jokes into the ground then you aren't really funny. This board would be a lot better if some of you stopped trying to be comedians.
