  1. Past hour
  2. I’m surprised that the percentage who don’t know or don’t have an answer is as low as 7%
  3. It's a weird disconnect. His last name is Manning and he's been in this offense for three years, and he's struggling with the easy stuff.
  4. You're just lucky I opted not to use the gif with his giant ass gyrating.
  5. Some of it is just a natural cycle. You lose that many starters including a top 10 draft pick you are going to take a step back. But the lack of improvement at the guard position in particular is extremely disappointing.
  6. I'm getting there too. Especially when the same issues have been persistent across his tenure: IOL losing track of blitzers and stunts, pullers not finding the right guy, lots of false starts and holding. Those have been a theme year after year regardless of experience level. I will say though, after a rewatch the biggest culprit for the run game being blown up a lot was terrible execution by the TEs. The OL did their job on a good 5-10 of the runs that got stuffed, it was just a TE either totally missing a block or getting thrown into the hole the RB was trying to hit. Not sure there is any benefit to going big in 12 or 13 personnel if they can't win against SJSU edges...
  7. Hopefully they'll try some new lineups the next 2 games and not just in garbage time. Wouldn't mind seeing Robertson at C and Hutson at LG. Or give Brooks some run at RT. What they trotted out against SJSU isn't going to be good enough.
  8. Just had this conversation with someone. A lot of people took for granted how elite Ewers was at hitting the short passes and screens in perfect stride. Arch may never be as good as Quinn was at that aspect of the game but he's got to improve significantly to make the offense go. Getting to 2nd and 3 will open everything up.
  9. Maybe that’s his kink sir.
  10. Is it bubble or tunnel screen?
  11. The L is a back row player only. When her position rotates to the front row and subsequently gets replaced, she has to sit one rally until she can come back in to replace and play her back row rotations. Hence the serving sub instead being a DS The exception would be a Mb who serves, like O’Neal, who plays 1 back row rotation. Believe Ames also served and played 1 rotation in the back at times last year
  12. Wingo and Moore look like 3rd option WRs. This Standford kid better be the next Golden.
  13. If I hear one more goddamn coworker not from Texas telling me they can't wait to pass through Austin to get some of that airport Salt Lick bbq, or worse.. Dickey's at Love Field... ugh.
  14. I think it's both this coaching staff's defining win, and something people are overreacting to compared to what it means for the season as a whole. They found a way to win against a talented (unprepared) team even though there were a ton of mistakes. There were something like 75 recruits in attendance, so this was very much a push all in situation that could have cratered their ability to even compete for the next couple of years. Also true is that the run game was uninspiring, zero turnovers caused, and there were receivers free that better offenses would have found.
  15. I listened to her on Amy Poehler's podcast a few weeks ago. They were pretty funny together, but I cannot listen to her voice for long stretches of time. She swears it's really how she talks, and I realize the irony of being from southeast TX and shitting on someone else's accent, but her voice is about 10 levels up from anything you hear in the Golden Triangle.
  16. Here is the headline on the website's version of the article. Dulled the edges a lot imo
  17. Year 5. And kind of agree. Things don’t look much better next year either.
  18. I try not to give too much unsolicited advice in here, just suggestions and ideas. That being said, if a personal trainer is telling you to remove an entire macronutrient from your diet without a legitimate medical reason why, you should run the other direction as fast as possible.
  19. Dammit. RIP.
  20. They are going to be stingy this year. Offense will need to be much improved by the time we play them
  21. Seems that way. Wtf is the point of signing these "large humans" if they can't do shit against a tiny sjsu front
  22. OK, follow up question: I don't understand this part. Why can't the L stay on and serve? I know we see L serving all the time, so what is the rule that applies here? (I really should know all this, as my capstone coaching course was volleyball, but it was also 30 years ago)
  23. Our offense looks a lot different this year to me. Way more running between the tackles. A lot fewer quick game actions to the perimeter. A lot more downfield attacking. Hardly any RPO's. Seems like Manning has already taken more snaps under center than Ewers took all of last year. The downfield concepts are essentially the same -- they run a lot of digs and underneath shit to put the defense in conflict and then try to get somebody loose over the top or on a wheel route. But everything else looks markedly different to me. There are going to be growing pains with this line, an inexperienced QB who has been surprisingly inaccurate and with more gunslinger tendencies than I thought on top of a receiving corps that isn't consistently creating a lot of separation. I *think* it's going to get better with more reps and experience and this defense should keep us in just about every game. The most concerning thing to me is the dumb penalties and generally stupid decision making -- roughing the QB and punter, taking kickoffs out of the endzone, the holding and procedure penalties and whiffs on the oline. Clean that shit up and the formula is there for this team to win : don't turn it over; let the defense and punting game win field position; hit some big plays when you can and let Arch's legs be a weapon when you need it.
  24. Discouraging. Hope the fixable penalty issues are addressed pronto.
