QB1 Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet

[Jkwellborn 6895]

I would bet Arch throws it very soon.

I bet he throws it on of the first couple of times he touches it on Saturday.

An unsung hero: The TayCo AthleticX Brace

Yeah, I don't understand how it works or why it works, but I was impressed with Quinn's mobility and the confidence he had. Given the 9.95 rumblings about how his sprain hadn't been healing as quickly as we had hoped, we probably should give a healthy serving of credit to the equipment team and the people who helped him regain a significant amount his athleticism compared to how he looked in that second half vs. Kentucky.

Shouldn't that thing be illegal to play with? He looked slow all year and suddenly he's outrunning our defense with that "brace" on. -aggy, probably

No pressure on that play. Just threw it a bit early and behind.

 

Good point. Ewers is not under any pressure at all. Safety is gone. Give Helm another half second to look up and you've got a 88 yard TD pass, assuming Evers doesn't throw the ball three yards away from the receiver, which is what he did here.

 

[bad_teammate 13328]

Quinn needs these on Saturday.

THE WHEELS ARE FOR ANKLE RECOVERY OK!?!?!

What I'm really suggesting is that if Sark wants to put Arch in only in critical or special? situations - which is kind of weird if you think about it - then he needs to let Manning throw the ball, probably half the time.

re STeams, I'd give any fake FG that Manning is a part of about an 80% chance of working. The guy makes things happen.

This board is going to be a super fun place the next couple years. Arch is already bill brasky. He better go 42-0 the way you guys are sucking his dick lol.

Ready to blow Helm up if QE waits another second to throw that. QE read that perfectly, the LB covering Helm was covering for the LB that blitzed on Helms side. He's having to come across the entire formation and there's no way for him to get there in time. If Helm would have read his guy blitzing and realized he was the hot read that's a first down and a big play if he can make Anderson miss.

Its Cover 3 and Gunnar will get hit. Quinn saw 7 defenders on the OL and assumed the jailbreak blitz (2 backed out and it was picked up). He threw it early and behind. Not catching if he turns he his head sooner anyway. He turns his head 4-5 yards within the LOS. There is timing on these plays. Bond is the hot route running to stop on the  outside. Sark grabs Quinn and has a conversation right after the play

This is point guard Ewers.  When it works, it looks great otherwise WTH.  He’s anticipating Helms move but Helm is not anticipating his.  He’s likely going off script because he knows Helm catches it and gets upfield for the 1st.  I think he’s right except Helm isn’t on that off-script play.

If that's cover 3 they do a really shitty job at running it because all the defenders are locked up on their man & turning and running with them instead of covering their zones. One LB blitzes, one races to cover Helm, one stays to check the RB. If he reads the blitz then he doesn't run his route full speed but is instead looking at Quinn throw it to him. Looks like a great read to me & the 1/2 second you see of Sark talking to Quinn means shit unless you know what he said. For all you know he was telling him good read or telling him he missed the 1st down read or keep your head up or any number of things

Bond is the hot route, running the stop vs cover 3.

Bond ran a 12 yard curl. That's hardly a hot route vs a blitz and, as you can tell on replay, Bonds man had turned his back and was running with him. Either they ran a shitty cover 3 where everyone looked like they were in man with a single high safety or they were in man and blitzed.

I’m not talking about a designated hot route but more of a head nod to Helm to say it’s coming your way.  In the end, they weren’t on the same page whatever the reason may be.

itd be great to hear a specific discussion on the play.

I am assuming he is racing zone. Sees Helm and runs underneath, exactly what you are supposed to do. Would be odd to have him man Helm from 5 yards inside (he is on the LOS in the A gap at the snap). Single High Safety.

its 8., He breaks off right at the first down marker. None of it matters as the ball is thrown behind Helm

If I have learned anything it's that the guy you're arguing with KNOWS for sure his posts are right. Hell, he even knew sark pulled quinn aside to tell him he fucked up, weird that he was in the headset with them but whatever. I don't think they were running a zone either. It is what it is though.

I said we would beat Arkansas, kentucky, and aggy with quinn. I told you to quit being a bitch and worrying about aggy. How is any of that wrong?

Multiple people critical of Quinn have admitted they were wrong on some occasions with analysis of him.....yet when they put forth criticisms with correct analysis you or ThatGuy can never do the same. You move goal post, provide strawmen, and shift blame every time. 

We will see what Quinn we get vs Georgia and I hope it's not what we had last time we played Georgia.

That is just my guess. I can not see the other side of the field. You have a single high safety (that is obvious). Both LBs bluff and drop (obvious). You can see the other backer jogging around aimlessly at about 5-7 yards on his drop.  I can not imagine a coach asking a LB to Bluff A gap blitz and cover the TE man. Any out-breaking route and he is just cooked, 0 chance he can cover that. So I assume he going to his drop and does a good job identifying the threat and busts his ass to get under the route (that is what you are supposed to do, dropping to a fixed spot should end after Pop Warner). The CB is giving ~7 yard cushion to the WR, which would make sense if he has deep 1/3 responsibilities.

 

As far as Sark, that was on the TV screen and you can see on the Texas clips video of the game. No idea what Sark said, but coaches generally dont talk to you after a failed play to say they like your haircut. Best guess was he just said settle down and dont anticipate the the pressure, but it could have been the haircut thing.

I want to say it was soft man free on that play with 1 high safety. Anderson was the lone deep safety on that play. 

 

 

IMO Quinn was correct to get it out early given this is what it looked like early. Gunnar should be looking for ball and Quinn should be throwing it on him right here which he does but it's thrown a little behind and Gunnar doesn't see it.

 

Kind of an exotic blitz using the linebacker to come cover the tight slot on short side of the field. I guess they watched film and decided to go blitz on tight side. Watching the corners/nickel footwork shows their man'd up

Lol wut. It was a shitty play by aggy that was suppose to be man. Sark could have said “what did you see there” or “why didn’t Gunnar look for the ball” or “codaxx is gonna bitch about this play later”. You made it sound like for sure it was Quinn’s fault and sark wanted to tell him that.

To be fair it was a bad throw but Gunnar also wasn’t paying attention as quickly as he should have.

You cant see what the Nickel is doing. He could be in zone. For all we know they have a split field coverage, so I would never say it is 100% this (especially with a pass thrown so quickly).  Again asking a LB mugged up in the opposite A gap to cover a TE is one hell of a tough assignment. That is just unsound. He runs a quick out, Bond runs the CB off, and it is nice explosive play.  I cant imagine Todd Orlando doing something that stupid, let alone Elko. He has multiple players in better position to man up the TE,

I’ll give you that but bad throw in the sense that it could have been better. Not bad throw as in it was uncatchable and if Quinn (or any qb, on any team, ever) puts the ball near you…catch the ball. Bond had the same head scratching play right before the blocked punt. Quinn has some glaring holes but we can and will continue to win with him.

I’m not guessing. I’m telling you it was man. They tried to get exotic with their blitz/coverage on the tight end with bringing number 3. On snap all their coverage guys except Anderson square up on the receivers. Anderson is the safety valve for Helm if their linebacker can’t get there. If he’s paying attention and Quinn throws a better ball it comes down to 1 on 1 with Anderson and a long long gain.

It’s pretty uncatchable honestly. It’s thrown behind Gunnar who is streaking up field. He’d have to stop and do an amazing contortion to make that catch on a ball that’s coming fast . If he pays attention and Quinn puts it on him then it’s a first down or much larger gain if he can make Anderson miss or run through him.

It's something like this that tells me you either saw the play once and haven't watched it again to check your initial diagnosis, or you have seen it and are just digging in your heels while knowing you're wrong. LOS is the 12, first down is the 20, Bond turn at the 24-1/2.

All DBs are turned to cover their WR, one LB blitzes, one LB races to cover Helm, one LB sticks around the LOS to cover the RB. Bond is 12+ yards down the field & QE never once even acts like he's supposed to be the hot route. He looks immediately to Helm who either doesn't diagnose it as quickly so he wasn't ready for it or was suppose to stop because he was the hot read and his guy blitzed. Maybe it was an off script split decision for him to throw it that soon and QE was hoping Gunnar would turn a beat sooner to be able to adjust to it because if QE leads him he gets blown up by the S or the S makes a good break on the ball and knocks it down or picks it off.

If helm turns when he’s suppose to that’s a catch even with the ball thrown the way it is. I’m not sure why he wouldn’t see that much open field and not turn to look at Quinn. I like helm a lot though so it is what it is. He is a big part of why we are 11-1.

I thought bond broke it off at the sticks. That is my bad. I saw both LBs dropping. I assumed to the Hook/Curl, but yes he could just be on the RB. I assumed that would be a green dog situation and would fire with the RB blocking (though that might have happened in another second)

So were you a TE or what Mr. College Football?  I’m genuinely asking with a hint of smartass.

Using the UF TD as an example, I’m not sure he got his head around as quickly on that TD as the ball was released this time. I’d venture to say that ball was out quicker than you typically see.

I actually did spend time as a TE at Mary Hardin Baylor, which is light years away from how good Gunnar helm is haha. When he started his route he immediately saw Anderson deep and nobody else close…that should have caused him to at least check with Quinn earlier in his route. 3rd and 7 with 7 people on the line of scrimmage. I could be way off based but a guy as good as helm should pick up on little moments like that and use them to hurt the defense. 

[BurntOrange&White 40546]

Speaking of tight ends this guy probably doesn’t know shit about football. 

[Irish Wrist Watch 1413]

Based on this shot, Helm's head is turned. The ball is thrown three feet or more to his left and a foot off the ground. Helm just gave up. The pass was uncatchable. The safety was a non factor.

If indeed the safety was in full sprint (which he wasn't), I could understand our shell-shocked QB throwing it away, however this is where experience is supposed to kick in. If the safety is coming on that strong and we know there wasn't much pressure, a quick pump fake, the safety commits, and it's an 80 yd TD pass. 

Quinn managed 17 points that could have easily been only 6 points. SC scored like 44 against the Ags, Auburn 43. We scored 17, with a rock solid running game and kick ass defense. Wisner had 186yds on 33 carries. We've got a fly in the ointment, so to speak. (The phrase seems sort of appropriate)

Appreciate the response.  I’m curious about people’s experiences in that we could actually learn from others.  Know quite a few UMHB folks too.

[msucolt45 4177]

The Ewers that I saw did make some quality throws on a dime. He ran for a 1st down on the play Banks got leg whipped. Quinn also had his 4-5 WTF plays! Red Zone errors are killers trying to put a team away.

We’re used to the Hot/Cold Quinn, but damn man, I wish him the best in his future, but I really think he isn’t going to be in a Longhorn uniform next year. Quinn needs to finish this season strong, or I think next year won’t be in the NFL, but somewhere like Michigan State.

Hook’em!!!

[StassneyHorn 6703]

If Helm is looking up and keeps his  depth instead of trailing inside, it’s complete. Quinn recognized it quickly

Damn, imagine Texas going 11-1, with Wisner rushing for damn near 200 yards, and yet still being salty that we aren't winning with the type of QB play that you'd prefer.

That's because we are winning in spite of Ewers due to our defense and OL/running game. Without the #1 defense, we'd likely have 3-4 losses right now, just because you want to dismiss the most important position on the field, doesn't mean the rest of have to do the same.

[Hank Kingsley 21150]

I've obviously been critical of Quinn, but this is the week for him to step up and really get this offense going. I can't imagine Kirby will be able to manufacture the chip on his team's shoulder compared to our first game in Austin. We will be much more prepared for their defense this time around. And we've actually located and implemented a solid running attack after that loss to UGA. 

Though the game ended up being less stressful than anticipated, getting through the A&M is big. Now we can let loose a little and focus on bigger prizes. 

Come out and establish a running game, and have Quinn throw vertically down the field. Be aggressive. Let WRs make plays down the field. 2022 Alabama game 2.0. LFG.

Yeah I’m with you, I like the banter. I was a part of the program when we played for our first national championship game in program history so I’ve seen some top notch football, albeit Div III. We ran a straight smash mouth football offense but we had a couple play action passes that were lethal and our starting TE that year ran the play really well. Helm is going to make a good NFL TE real soon. I think had he looked back that he would have slowed down slightly and that ball would have been catchable. Quinn was just looking for the easy first down IMO.

I've obviously been critical of Quinn, but this is the week for him to step up and really get this offense going. I can't imagine Kirby will be able to manufacture the chip on his team's shoulder compared to our first game in Austin. We will be much more prepared for their defense this time around. And we've actually located and implemented a solid running attack after that loss to UGA. 

Though the game ended up being less stressful than anticipated, getting through the A&M is big. Now we can let loose a little and focus on bigger prizes. 

Come out and establish a running game, and have Quinn throw vertically down the field. Be aggressive. Let WRs make plays down the field. 2022 Alabama game 2.0. LFG. 

 

 

Yes. Sark has basically gone to playing Akers football. To beat Georgia the passing game has to be better. Texas is averaging sub 200 yards the last 3 games. I would love to see it, but I doubt Texas can just line up and run for 200+ vs Georgia. Would be nice time for Quinn to hit 270+ yard mark

Speaking of tight ends this guy probably doesn’t know shit about football. 

He’s not wrong, should have pulled away in the second half.  I’ll take the victory all day but the offense will have to get a full game or two of being consistent to win it all and the reason it’s not is mostly on the QB.

We’ve only scored 17 second half points in the last three games. That has to improve.

I hope so, I like him. Just win, baby!

His acting sucks, but he's a UT man, so he's good in my book.
