    Our WRs will feel some pain catching his passes

    Great logic. Go make your case to Kevin Eltife and everyone else who believe otherwise.

    Teams improve over the year. It looked pretty bad early on, now, teams like ISU, KSU, and OKSt look pretty solid.

    This is wrong. This team isn’t 2006-2009 talented, especially not when banged up. Every game is gonna be a dogfight from here on out. Maalik also missed his spring camp due to injury, he’s had to overhaul his throwing mechanics, and learn a completely new offense on top of that. He was a complete project coming out of HS. He's likely not ready yet, but hopefully he knows enough of the playbook to keep defenses honest until Quinn comes back.

    Hopefully Terry Joseph coached walk-on Jafaar Johnson can cover our NFL receivers for the rest of the season.

    There are like 3 guys on headsets who have college HC experience. We have another guy as an analyst who has FBS HC experience. I’m sure game day duties are delegated and sark is probably the final decision maker on major decisions. His ability to call plays is his super power, and if he doesn’t have that then he shouldn’t be the HC.

    They had issues because the running game was less effective than expected. They also got situational pressure, and we don’t seem to notice the blitz pre-snap with any consistency. My biggest concern is that the running game has been effective because teams have been respecting Quinn’s ability to hit receivers downfield. What happens when they start making Maalik prove he can win the game?

    Spring game doesn’t count toward your redshirt count. Arch hasn’t played in a real game yet. If you play in more than 4 games, you burn your shirt.

    Ja’had Carter is the other safety we really went after. He probably plays, but he hasn’t done anything of note for Ohio state either. They should have been cross training guys like Brice, Guilbeau, Jordan, and Roberson this spring/fall.

    If Murphy shows better pocket presence, he’ll have a chance to look better than Quinn until teams adjust to Murphys tendencies.

    Talent is certainly part of the issue, but poor communication is directly on the coaches. Are Joseph’s recruiting connections worth his coaching deficiencies? The front and the back are showing more signs of disconnect as the season progresses. Injuries aren’t helping, but shortening the rotations on the back end might help bring serviceable play through reps as a unit.

    I'm with you pal, I wish Sark would just call the touchdown play so I can sing Texas Fight with my all of my friends.
  13. Atticus
    I'd guess it was around 90% once the game really got going, and there were far more UH fans than expected
  14. Atticus
    Taysom Hill is a 4.4 guy, Kedon Slovis is like a 4.9 guy who doesn't really look to run much.

    We are stopping the run. That was a huge issue before, now it isn't. Our guys aren't winning one on one when Sweat commands a double team. Blitzers aren't getting home or getting the ball carriers down to the ground often enough. Safeties are unable to guard receivers for even a little before turning them loose. They play the safeties way off because they can't turn and run at all. Even our former athletic corner-turned-safety, can't guard a slot fade. That was a pretty good throw though. They went after a few coverage safeties in the portal, but after Ja'Had Carter chose to sit on the bench at Ohio State, we ended up with an oft injured box safety.

    Quinn's pocket presence did him no favors, but checking the ball down is better than taking a sack. Maybe MM will be better at identifying the blitz and signaling a hot route. But realistically, his biggest concern will be the poor accuracy on his rockets. Quinn throws soft balls with pace, MM throws passes like ATL Vick did.
  17. Atticus
    I'd like to see how MM handles the 3 deep look. He seems to love showing off his arm, so will he be aware enough to take the shorter, high percentage throw over the highlight, lower percentage deeper routes? Can he throw catchable balls to the running backs and tight ends? Will his mechanics break down under pressure? What kind of pocket presence does he have? He's never been the most accurate guy, and I think that's part of why his rating fell so much as a recruit. Will improved mechanics improve that enough for us to take advantage? We really need to establish the run in this game, because KState is gonna have a field day if we don't.
  18. Atticus
    Guilbeau's poor play likely necessitated Barron's early return in the second half of the game. It's hard to see what went wrong in real time and it was hot as hell yesterday. His lack of communication and out of control nickel blitz led to the second TD.
  19. Atticus
    You serious Clark? How many defenses out there work without a pass rush? Our safeties are generally liabilities in pass coverage. They also aren't passing off routes well. No corner is gonna cover well consistently for 3+ seconds. We're tackling decently enough on the back end. If they saw the athleticism back there this offseason and didn't bother getting guys like Guilbeau, Jordan, Roberson crosstrained at the position, then that's a huge fucking problem. Maybe Gideon sees himself in Michael Taaffe, but Taaffe should be on the sidelines helping the more athletic guys make the right calls. Improving the QB pressure game will help the secondary, but there's a lot of meat left on the bone in the secondary too.
  20. Atticus
    I get you. I'm also not really emotionally invested in anything sports related other than Texas football.
  21. Atticus
    It helps with recruiting, so you should
  22. Atticus
    All of this. The OL, once again, failed to take advantage of a front they should have. Quinn has taken shots all year as a result. They had three safeties around 10-12 yards at the snap for much of the game and it was a dink and dunk fest as a result. At times, he had some receivers open downfield, but opted to take the safe plays every time. Against a better team, it is probably an issue, but we should have been running it on these guys with ease.
  23. Atticus
    The best way to look at this is now there is more available for high level portal finds. Including WRs.
  24. Atticus
    They’ll need to protect Robertson against Nwankwo or that could end up being an issue. He could choke out a drive or two.
  25. Atticus
    Yea, I'm pretty sure they didn't even try to play him because of the effectiveness of our gameplan.
