pussy

That must have been the game I watched then. tbh I thought it was kinda a cool tradition.

Do they still throw a penalty flag on the visitors to start the game that home team declines for these?

Almost...pussy, amirite or amirite?!

So the answer is "no" then?

Huh? Is there any evidence of this or is it conjecture? I can think of a much more logical answer, which is that Trump is stupid and entitled and walked out the door last time with what in his mind were "mementos" of his time in office that he wanted as keepsakes. That doesn't make it any less illegal, but there is a pretty big jump to "he was selling national secrets to Russia." Is there some other evidence of that I missed?

What pussies! And to pre-empt the lame "you're comparing QE to Montana?" response, NO - I'm illustrating that every QB from pop warner through NFL HOF goes through runs where they have bad play, and that doesn't make them "pussies."

Every single person on this board has taken actions in their life that other people would say "that was really pussy." Does that make everyone here a pussy then? No, because the sum of a man or woman is more than a few actions or a few football games. To label someone a pussy because they aren't playing the way you like is simplistic and lacking class. Unless that is you're asserting that you know enough to actually say QE is actually a pussy?

There is a sizable difference that you majorly gloss over here between "QE is playing like a pussy" and "QE is a pussy." I'd halfway agree w/ the first. The 2nd is stupid and out-of-bounds and I'd hope someone who is so involved in paying players NIL would know that.

People zipper in too early, then get mad that other people are "cutting the line" by not allowing people to merge at the proper zipper point.

I just want to know who sucks more, Quinn Ewers or Chris Beard? I'm going with Beard, he REALLY sucked.

Friendly reminder to all that Sark said Xavier Worthy was fine all year and then we find out later he played the year with a broken hand. Coaches lie.

Wadlington thinks he is much, much smarter than he actually is

*Top 11 but yeah. I still have scars from Barry fucking Switzer announcing OU squeaked by Texas by 0.00000001 point in the BCS back in the day so I'm gonna expect disappointment until shown otherwise.

Good news is by the time we hit aggy we will be really accustomed to seeing blitzes. We're about to get a ton of live game reps.

Prefer not to rely on that and back in on the strength of our "brand."

If we take a loss to aggy in the last week of the season there is a really good chance we'll be out.

First, fake internet points are dumb. Second, RE: your context point, it illustrates that there are a lot more people out there who agree with @Thatguy, or at least that while QE has been sub-par we shouldn't pull the trigger on Arch yet. And, there is a super-vocal minority of some size in the camp of "QE is a total pussy and the reason we suck," "Put in Arch because he's gives us a better chance to win now," or "This year is sunk anyway let's write it off and get started on next year with Arch now." The first camp will rep posts they agree with but don't want to expend the mental energy engaging in a pointless slap fight with the other camp.

Should be but usually they were coming from a LB at some type of depth so it was fairly consistent and QE seemed to have a mental clock for it. I don't recall a bunch of DB or safety blitzes that got home on us last year.

My theory on this is that in the Big12 we saw more 3-3-5 so it was less pressure coming from the D-line, and pressure that came via blitz from the LB was easier to see/diagnose and get one extra beat to react to. In the SEC the D-lines are bigger and faster, the coverages are more multiple with better athletes, and the pressure is showing up faster making it harder to read/react. I was watching a QE's high school highlights again: Watch the first 10 or so throws on the tape here and you're going to see a lot of the same issues we see now. I see a TON of back-foot throws, and also not climbing the pocket. There is also some dimes in there too. But if you look at the >20 yard throws, many of them are either 1) the WR is wide-ass open, or 2) it's a lob that the WR wins. In college you don't get hardly any of #1, especially on deep shots. And for #2 the CBs are such higher level how and the safeties so much faster that those lobs turn into picks or breakups - which is exactly why he isn't throwing them. It's almost like he's using a 9-iron angle on those throws when he needs a 3-iron. When he attempts to lower the angle, he overthrows it. For all the touch he has on the short and intermediate he doesn't have it on the long ball. Sark and QE have to figure it out because it's pretty obvious what defense we're going to see the rest of the year: Pre-snap show 2 safeties high Post-snap rotate one safety to close the middle of the field to intermediate crossers Blitz a LB to create pressure, or simulate blitz often Show man and switch to zone or vice versa, QE has trouble (like many QBs) when a pre- and post-snap read don't match up Deploy a shallow zone and expect the check down to the flats Keep it all in front of you This plan basically forces QE and Sark to do what they don't want: attack the sideline downfield with long throws, or go over the top. Normally the counter would be run the damn ball and force them to shift, but we apparently don't have the horses for that.

QE reduced the reverse bailouts from the pocket and I did see him climb into the pocket and deliver on-time throws down the middle several times. He still was way too cautious and his deep ball is bad. The O-line took many pre-snap penalties and holds, but the worst were the busts. There were at least 3-4 instances where an unblocked defender came in while we were double teaming someone else. Conner missed one, I think DJ missed another. They weren't all blitzes either. That's not a QB issue, or a lack of running game issue, it's a protection/communication issue in the O-line. You could put Tom Brady back there with a defender in his lap at the go and he's going to have trouble (on THOSE snaps, not a get-outta-jail free card for QE's performance).

I'm convinced that imma and blacklab have implemented a function in this site called DerkaBot AI. Whenever it senses engagement falling off, it posts to get people riled up.

Burton made an allusion on a podcast a week or two ago that his blocking wasn't up to par with those ahead of him and he was skilled but getting outworked.

In watching the Film Guy on YT, opened my mind on a few things: Yes QE could have played better specifically in faster processing and willingness to go to the 2nd and 3rd reads before checking down and stepping up, and, Yes the O-line saw a level of athlete they hadn't encountered before BUT, the receivers were blanketed. And not just because of superior athletes - it was because they were extremely well coached and knew our tendencies and routes really well. It's not like there were regularly multiple open receivers running free. Usually the first and second option were covered, and the 3rd had either a small window requiring a quick trigger or QE would have had to feather the ball between a LB and a safety - doable but a NFL-level type throw. If we see UGA or that skill level again, Sark needs to get deeper into the bag and/or introduce some new concepts they haven't seen on film. See this play:
