Sark has talked about Tau and Mac. He said Tau was great in the RPO game. He had to dial it back for Mac and went more play action. The Sark offense isn’t always the same offense. Arch offense will be more play action with more shot plays. Quinn more RPO. Texas is lucky the bye week came now. There is a mess of issues. Just a few off the top of my head 1. Wingo needs to learn to stop, when he sees a CB blitz 2. Quinn’s footwork and pocket presence need to improve. He has to better job of identifying blitzes. Not sure I have ever seen him change a protection in 2.5 years of being the QB. Like to see him get deeper in his reads 3. RB blocking is a roll of the dice. 4. Love Helm, but he is a bad pass blocker. Sanders was bad and got Quinn knocked out of the Houston game. Either teach it better or find another way 5. when Vandy is blitzing the Nickel relentlessly, don’t run condensed sets. Make him come from farther out. Love condensed sets, but there is a time and place 6. Pre-snap penalties have to stop 7. Finally came out running the football more vs Vandy. Nice balance between man and zone blocking. Let’s continue that.

Vandy blitzed the living sh!t out of Texas. It was the highest blitz rate Texas seen all year. Much of it started in the 2Q and beyond. They were not hanging back. It was a constant barrage of the NB and CB blitzes with the occasional A gap blitzing LB. Texas won some and lost some, but it kept Vandy in the game. Texas just isnt dealing well with it

So 3, cool!! Texas is now 33rd in the nation in long scrimmage plays (using 10+). Miami and Arkansas are averaging 20+ a game. It is pretty simple. Quinn's ADOT is the lowest in the P5. As Texas plays better defenses, those big gains on short throws tend to decrease. Decent SEC defenses are going to tackle better and just have better athletes. Outside the 2 vs OU, the run game is not created many explosives all year. Keep in mind Texas has already played the 2 shittiest defense in the SEC (DFEI #120 MSU, #80 Vandy)

No, I was breakign balls. Mostly because you came looking to pat yourself on the back, despite misidentifying the play which I though was funny.

I guess you consider turnovers explosive plays. Texas is 82nd in the nation in 10+ yard runs. Texas run game has never been efficient, but Brooks and Bijan used to rip off some long ones. Texas is 21st in explosive pass plays, but that is been falling fast.

Another big issue is Texas has not been explosive the last 3 games. That is a huge problem, when the crux of your offense is underneath throws. Inefficient and non-explosive is not the combo you want

little surprised you put this in there as they completely disagree with your "he didnt ride the RB, so not a RPO"

See lot more deep concepts with Arch compared to Quinn. I believe Sark used the Vandy game as a "get Quinn right" game. I believe the first 14 plays were runs or passes inside of 5 yards. Ran some double moves vs Georgia. Either not enough time or Quinn turned it down. They will come back I think the running game is a bad marriage. Conner's biggest weakness is moving people. Texas is a pass 1st team, so I assume coaches prefer pass blocking over road grading. RBs are not really suited to run in between the tackles for 20 carries.

That shit happens at every level. Teams bust pass protections, coverages, blocking schemes.

That depends on what team you go to in the NFL. If all NFL OLs were good at pass pro the bust rate on QBs would be near 0

that really shouldnt have been such a big deal, but Quinn struggles with his gap escapes and in this case his feet. Just saying both players get a D+/C-.

Not sure anyone said Williams was better. This is what I meant about my "switching from MSNBC to FOx" statement (edited after your response). Not sure why every play has to be Quinn was awesome/someone else sucks or he is completely incompetent/everyone else is great. Sometimes it takes 2 guys not being on point to screw up a play

YOu keep saying Quinn isnt perfect, but you expect everyone else to be perfect. Cam got beat for moment and was too deep, but he recovered and had that guy locked up. Wasnt ideal but take a few calm steps and that is all good. Tripping over his own feet made that a much worse situation. It's OK to critic both players. This place is like switching from MSNC to Fox.

He could have handed that one off, not a fake hand off. Pre-snap that is a hand off. Assume he sees the blitz and doesnt. Not sure why he didnt just throw it at the feet of the WR, cant take that sack. WR also has to see the blitz and make an adjustment, though I havent seen a WR adjust to the Cb blitz the last 2 games. Poor play by Quinn and the WR.

More talking about the depth of the passing game

tip of cap to the ref

Did he really pick a play from the 11 yard line to talk about where the Safeties were playing?

I think that is the ADOT (average depth of target). Ewers is at 7.4 per attempt (65th) and Manning at 9.3.. Texas averages 12.35 per reception

Lot of talk how Baxter looked much better in camp, but we will never know. I am not sure Blue or Wisner are even 200 pounds and both listed at 6'. They just arent built to pound. That's one reason I would like to see more Gibson after the bye. Games like Georgia and A&M are going to require a back that can take and give some punishment. I typically dont love big RBs, but there is a time and place for them. I would also add that the play book looks a lot different when Arch is the QB. There is a lot of work for the offense during the bye week.

Its the latter. Sark is making that a black and white question. There is a different between having your QB have the lowest ADOT in the P5 and going mad bomber. Even the intermediate game has largely disappeared. That offensive game plan isnt transferrable vs higher end defenses.

I dont think Sark has a legitimate choice. You have to have some balance in the offense. I thought it was noticeable in the Vanderbilt game that Sark was committed to running, especially early (that is not usually a huge factor in his opening script). You can argue his best calls were the 2 runs on 3rd down (think 3rd 6 and 3rd and 9). I think Sark is doing the best he can to try and get Ewers to look like pre-injury Ewers. He was definitely trying to protect him and restore his confidence early in that Vandy game.

100%. There is better shit for the pro-Arch to come up with than a deep ball was throw a couple yards short, but catchable. Most deep shots are going to require some adjustment. I dont see the college numbers, but anything over 40% is elite in the NFL. Next Gen Stats' top 10 NFL deep passers of 2022: Geno Smith, Tua Tagovailoa excel at airing it out

Too early to tell. He was rocketing up draft boards until Georgia. Now moving the wrong way. He could rebound with strong finish.

Texas definitely ran well enough vs Vandy. Texas ran for 3.8 vs Georgia that might have looked better, if Texas was able to stick with the run game.

One criticism of the Wr room is they seem to make 0 adjustments to the CB blitz. Dont see much reaction at all to it.
