  1. I dont argue that is probably true, especially when Taaffe and McDonald were out. That said it is the coaches' job to make sure the 2 deep is prepared to play. No matter who is in they should not be busting cover 2 coverages to give Vandy's only legit threat a ~70 TD.
  2. is that allowed?
  3. Crazy part of this season is the offense has bailed out the defense the last 2 games. That was not expected. I dont think has happened since KSU in 2023
  4. Vs Vanderbilt there is a lot of irony to this. They do not have a bunch of speedsters among their skill positions. Vandy guys were just finding massive holes in the zones. . I was begging them to run man watching this game (Man 2 or 1 if you want a spy). Instead they went a lot of man vs Florida, who may not be a good team, but they have athletes.
  5. He is a a menace with the ball in his hands, but getting the ball there can be an adventure. He is a huge talent, but he is still an athlete playing WR. When he learns the details of WR position, he is going to be scary.
  6. The depth this year is nonexistent in the secondary. Last year Williams was the opening day starter. McDonald became a legitimate player by around this time last year. The safety was always had 3-4 guys that were solid contributors. This year it like falling off a cliff after Taaffe and McDonald. Gavin Holmes would be starting this year at CB. 3 CBs last year that were solid. Not even 2 on the team this year
  7. I wouldn’t say there is big drop from Makuba to McDonald. Both are NFL guys. CB position is a big downgrade. Manny isn’t Baron. Guilbeau isn’t Manny from last year
  8. This was 2 fold. The Vanderbilt DBs just could not tackle the Texas WRs. Look at the clips and see how many of those screens are minimal gains if the first Vandy player makes a tackle. Look at even the blitzes. There isn’t the immediate pressure we were seeing. I don’t remember a full on whiff in pass pro in this game. That makes things a lot easier on Arch when he is not having to move off his spot immediately. Compare the fake the screen this week to the week prior. Arch is standing tall with a clean pocket when he realizes the go is covered. He can easily just flip it to the flat. That protection makes a ton of difference
  9. I believe both you and I thought the biggest advantage on offense was our skill players vs their DBs. That proved to be the case. Vandy secondary really struggled to make tackles (apparently that was contagious, as Texas secondary forgot how to tackle also). It was a good game plan.
  10. 100%.. Texas wins easily if the secondary plays respectable “prevent”. Though I believe the long TD was a busted cover 2 (my guess live). I really don’t love that call there..
  11. Bobby has been running with the “top 3 safeties”, but let’s be honest about this. Filsaime is in the top 3, but he had a really rough game. The drop from Taaffe and McDonald to the next safety is a huge chasm. Derek Williams is a bit perplexing. I know injury was a legit, but he looks kind of lost out there. Very disappointing
  12. Not really sure, it’s probably just the secondary is not as good as last year and it’s easier to go after him. Most teams are attacking Guilbeau, Littleton, and the LBs.
  13. Plenty to be worked up about, the coverage bust is #1. That is the one play that made this an anus puckering game. You just cannot have a bust in that situation. I thought I saw Guilbeau pulled late and I did not see him return. Can anyone confirm?
  14. Rarely mentioned is this also makes blocking easier for the OL (not as easy to run games on them) and it they have to hold blocks shorter. Hated watching Sark run routes breaking at 12-15 yards on 3rd 7-8.. Given me a crosser in the mix where someone can run for the first
  15. perhaps, but the idea that someone was putting out was that Manning is praying the ball around in clean pockets. That is not consistent with the numbers, which I am sure you would agree with. His self-pressure numbers are actually very respectable. I think some the issue is people not understanding TTT stat and the variables that go into it. Even Sark has said that number is up based on his play calling, but few seem to understand that aspect
  16. That is a huge assumption. Like I said I have no idea about his injury or how Arch will react to it. Neither does anyone here, so we should probably just wait and see what happens on Saturday
  17. I know absolutely nothing about the degree of Arch's concussion, so I am will just wait to hear what the doctors say about it. They clear him, he should play. If they dont, he should sit.
  18. i do watch games and Manning has a habit of missing an easy one once a game. He also has a habit of making a few NFL plays. Yes, i quoted an unbiased source as proof. How completely insane of me to do that. I never said it was all Sark, but I do appreciate your brand of illogic ranting to attempt to argue something.
  19. Someone should have it, but I see a 87.3 clean pocket grade from PFF on Arch Manning in a clean pocket post OSU. So cool post.
  20. That is not Sark's M.O. You remember the KSu game? Maalik came out bombing away vs KSU. At halftime Surly was ready to shoot Quinn Ewers and enshrine Maalik into the Hall of Fame. KSU adjusted and Surly crawled into a corner.
  21. Yes.. Lot of misdirection and for the most part the Texas defense is sound. They can throw out DT after DT. Wouldnt be surprised to see the 3 DT set with Simmons on the DL. The offense is scary. IF this season has proven anything, you cannot predict what the offense will look like from week to week. I think it is all about the OL and the game plan.
  22. Texas outgained Vandy 392 to 269. Garbage TD at the end of the game. Vandy had 2 TD drives prior to that of 31 yards and 38 yards. Vandy was not successful with their usual efficient long drives and even lost TOP. Taaffe playing would be big to help with all the misdirection. Concerns: Vandy can get to the edge and Texas has been inconsistent, especially on the boundary. Texas has struggled with TEs, Vandy has a great one. Vanderbilt defense is not great, but they can cause havoc. That is not great with this OL, especially since you cannot anticipate Texas having any run success.
  23. Last I saw Arch was at 11% in self-pressures from PFF, which put him in the top 10% percentile among qualified QBs (very good). Quinn was the 11th most self-pressured QB among qualified Qbs in 2024.
  24. One thing to his advantage is he has not played behind this OL. I mean that seriously. He does not carry any of the scar tissue from being the most pressured QB in the SEC. We may see a more Quinn-like gameplan with him. Arch's ability to throw the deep ball is Sark crack. Even Sark has said he is throwing deep more this year. Calwell might not tempt him as much as Arch.
  25. Caldwell has looked good, but I have not seen him play with pressure. Behind this line, he will likely see a lot of messy pockets. On one hand he has looked good on limited snaps and on the other this is his 5th season, 4th team, only has 5 starts, and has never started an opening game for a team.
