  1. Wisner averaged 5 YPC against tOSU and you guys are bitching? It was great to see Baxter back at that caliber so soon after the knee injury - but Wisner was clearly the better back on Saturday.
  2. It’s definitely a misread. The play is designed to go to Wingo and he is open.
  3. Lol…. No. Down, distance, formation, alignment, player tendency all can dictate plays and known route combinations. It’s exactly what teams study, practice and scheme for. Your team also has to know what to run, be comfortable with what they run and be able to execute what they run too. Football isn’t played in a vacuum or a madden screen. Shit, our first play of the game is the same play we have run for each of Arch’s starts, (tOSU must have known that) and it was wide fucking open and Arch shot putted the ball into the dirt. When individual play limits what you can execute schematically, magically shit doesn’t work as well. Ewers struggled with the deep middle/post routes, and excelled at the mid and short passing game. Thus, our game plans and execution reflected that. On Saturday Arch did not do anything well. We ran him, we moved him out of the pocket, we gave him short throws, long throws, throws over the middle, play action throws, etc….. nothing sparked him. Saturday was not his day, and our offense reflected that. If Arch was just “bad” instead of “terribad” on Saturday, we win that game.
  4. The film guy breakdown is good, but I feel the general theme is being missed. Yes, Sark has some tendencies, literally every team/coach does. tOSU is really good on defense, Caleb Downs and others are really good at football. The general theme, and what is true, is Arch was bad. Mechanically he was bad, timing was bad, reads weren’t great…. All types of throws/plays were attempted and called and he did not excel at any of them. Even if he was like 20% better we might when that game still. The next 3 games will be good for him to get through progressions, get in rhythm and generally play football with confidence…. Which was clearly lacking on Saturday. Get feeling good about yourself rolling into Florida/OU.
  5. I mean it makes a difference when your QB is having as rough of a day as he did. There were several explosive passing plays that were open, we could not get the ball to the players in question. Extremely rough day for QB play. That might also be the best defense we play all year.
  6. There is video floating around of the head of SEC officials explaining (with video examples) what would and wouldn't be a penalty. I think it may be tough for officials to discern, hopefully they are willing to pick some of these up if the line judges get trigger happy - overall I think it's an "ok" addition if it able to be enforced how they explained it.
  7. International Players Anthem…. Fuck yeah
  8. QE is the 4th or 5th best player on that list, in a vacuum. But QB carries more weight...

  10. I have somewhat of the same issue. Something that I just saw/read about that I am going to try and see if it has any effect is the principle of parallax in the golf swing. Look it up, plenty of YouTube videos on it. I’m going to set up some alignment sticks to if this can help.

    We probably should be on the lookout for a body in the lake this evening
  12. Guys, just to be clear, you are engaging with a person that honestly believes there is a world wide conspiracy to hide the proof/existence of aliens.... While maintaining he doesn't trust politicians at all ("they are on the take") but having voted for and is actively supporting "the most on the take" person to ever hold elected office who is actively dismantling the government to get things he wants/his way, because that is "why we voted for him".... all the while not reconciling that this man he supports blindly is a politician and the government he supposedly so strongly distrust.... except he doesn't.
  13. lol what? Mixon was the best player on offense outside of Nico….
  14. The coaching tree is fine. We need a better situational play caller and a group that can fix the worst interior line play I’ve ever seen. Get a couple of new IOL bodies, some new direction on that front, and a better play caller and we will feel a lot better about the offense.
  15. I am counting on pressure, being a competent zone defense team (vs man), and fucking up Will Howard. I think the offense will be able to move the ball. I don't think these guys are Georgia on defense and in the SEC championship, we actually moved the ball decently. We obviously can't turn the ball over and we can't give away points (i.e. missed kicks, lost possessions from fake punts/4th down conversions, etc.)
  16. Whom we nearly beat with a dogshit team ourselves.
  17. #1 prop/tie breaker - 437 yds I will come back with score prediction in a bit.
  18. lol… no. He is nothing like Milroe. Milroe is bigger, a better athlete and has a cannon…. Now maybe he likes throwing to the other team at times but he is everything Leonard wishes he was as an athlete.
  19. Who the fuck is that guy? lol that is a trash list. Leonard… Gtfo out of here. Have any of you watched him play…. You have to be able to pass the ball. Will Howard…. Gtfo out of here. We have seen him enough to know who he is. Gabriel is going to get knocked on measurable. Very good player. If that is the list, QE is going 3/4 depending on Gabriel.
  20. It’s not an “ace.” You guys act like any special teams “play” is a special thing. Every game punt blocks are formulated to blocking schemes and tendencies of the team we are playing. Just like literally any other play design (offense or defense). They clearly saw a tendency on film and decided they were going to attack it. A punt block there is a huge statement and probably adds to what should have been a blowout. You can tell by the our actions all through the 1q we we’re attempting to destroy these guys. There is literally nothing wrong with being aggressive. i am all willing to bet block or no block if Blackwell doesn’t dumbass it up, we run the pressure more than once that game. The point is, this was not a trick play, it was deliberate, straightforward attack to the Arizona St. base scheme.
