Last year's offensive line was underwhelming, given the number of starts and the years in the program. This year's offensive line looks like one you find on a team with sanctions and scholarship reductions.
-
Ewers offense wasn’t very productive. At least as far as scoring points.
-
The signs have been there all along. But as with the above, easily dismissed until you had near 100% turnover in the personnel. I think it's the nature of these things that whether the blame goes on the QB or the OL for a sputtering offense can be a close, difficult question. Perhaps less difficult are red zone and RB struggles. But when you have a couple of RB that can make their own yards like Bijan, that gets masked, too. We've had somewhat similar nits to pick with the defense in terms of a little too soft in coverage, not getting home often enough with the rush, but overall one of the best in CFB.

Last year Texas was led the nation in passes behind the LOS. When the offense worked it was behind OZ and hitting some explosives in the short game mostly. This year the screen game has died. Sark is using more PA and targeting down field. Biggest issue is the OL cannot hold up and nobody respects the run game. Last year's offense was limited, because nobody respected the deep ball. This year's offense is limited, because nobody respects the run game and the OL cannot hold up in pas pro. Sark is going to have to develop a short passing game in a hurry

how do people post here this long and seriously not know the difference? from my avatars, to the fact our posts are nothing alike, to the fact that we’re both currently posting in this same thread, how do people still think that he is i and i am him?

I think he believes it will be like Panama or Grenada. It's scary because he really needs a distraction after he keeps getting embarrassed at home. He really wants to be a military strongman and he wants other nations to fear him, all the while he doesn't realize that Europe and China are starting to replace us on the world stage. This is what the real problem is (not the oil, although that will come into play) - it's in our backyard. I'm putting it at pretty good odds that we do something serious in the next few weeks.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again

Doesn’t seem to have much to work with but I guess he selected his players -
I doubt this is unique to Texas Football. The NFL is pretty lousy with MAGAts also. And baseball, and wherever undereducated white males gather.
-
these S&C coaches all do mostly the same thing at this level. their isn't some crazy secret sauce. the issue is coaching technique/scheme and not recruiting 3 stars across the board because they are large humans.
-
Last years OL was fine. They were excellent in pass pro. Mediocre in the run game. They could maul weaker DLs with OZ (A&M and Clemson). My complaint on the OL is that Flood has produced nothing but finesse OLs. They catch Dl and screen. They do not fire out with a flat back. Arch would kil to have last year's OL. What did Jammer say? I think something like this OL looks like traffic cones, except traffic cones dont get penalties.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
BurntEyes replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
It won't just be the OL botch, real questions have already started to surface about his approach to coaching QBs. If I as a dumb fat couch coach can see similar issues between a 5 star QB that consistently got worse while at Texas and a new 5 Star QB who appears to be horrible, so will the rest of the world. Sark isn't addressing issues and doesn't understand that in college you have to align your approach to the talent. The NFL approach of get the players to run your system just doesn't work. Clearly neither does the NFL practice methodology. We fans are complaining about the exact same issues on offense we did last year. EXACT SAME. Some want to throw Arch under the bus, some blame the OL, some blame the RBs, some point to pieces of each one, but when every.fucking.one of these issues were the same things we bitched about last year, it should become abundantly clear where the real issues lie. Hell, there is a 700+ page thread from last year here arguing QB vs OL vs RB vs WR and guess what, its the fucking HC and his shit staff. The writing was on the wall, and I admit I missed it. Tried to incorrectly blame the QB. However, even there I recognized issues with the game plan. Speaking if game plan. Two words to know how bad it is. Third Quarter But I'll add a single play to bring it home. Ballet 360 pirouette flounder, flounder fall. No? How about first down run up the middle with an underperformed OL and smallish RB that to date, I would guess has lead to a total of about 30 yards in 5 games despite doing it every fucking first down. What about so developing WRs routes with an underperforming OL and a young QB. That's brilliant. No man, the issues are and have been clear. Sark doesn't know shit about coaching an offense. Speaking of RZ, know how many times we've run a bootleg reverse at the goal line? Once, it was a TD for Arch. -
@PTINS may have the numbers, but it's a lot. And the two refineries on this map below Moscow, and the two near Sochi may have been hit since since this article came out in August. Ukraine Is Systematically Striking All Major russian Refineries At Distance of Up to 1000 km (Map) | Defense Express And the Ukrainians are putting pressure all across the oil & gas infrastructure - pipelines, pumping stations, fuel depots (Russia doesn't have as much static storage I believe), refineries, etc., so it's a lot of chaos- even if a refinery is up and running, it may not be able to receive enough to stay running 24/7 or it may not be able to push much downstream if the pumping stations or fuel depots are offline. And they will fall back to rail, but damage to railways/engines has been happening here and there and Russia can't get their trains too close to Ukraine these days.

This would be the first time in history, I believe, that a "sex offender" has been pardoned or had their sentence commuted, since that term and registries came into vogue. -

I want to believe. At the very least it would be great to see the defense come out and play to their potential from the opening whistle. -
It sure as hell beats the alternative of no jobs and still inflation

What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston? Non-CR thread

Many people don’t need their car for lunch. It can depend on walkable lunch options or if you take care of errands on the weekend. but I’m onboard with the idea that the mass transit options shouldn’t be drastically slower than driving. Then the only reason to use it is due to cost. Either you can’t afford a car, gas or parking costs. -

Ok wrong word then, but the data processing, which extended into April 2021. Although, again not clear who decided to do it or when. Apparently, as you drill down into the data for smaller and smaller units, ie congressional districts, the risk increases of revealing personal information. At some point someone decided that was bad and we should do this differential privacy thing. And that has been the subject of some criticism and also studies that it had no material effect. So, while this guy wasn't as blatantly wrong as the above suggests, this is more FUD conspiracy theory shit.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
BurntOrange&White replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I really don’t think it’s S&C because the other side of the ball is physical and generally dominates(the Florida game was their worst in 2 years roughly). If I were a betting man considering everything CTJ has said I’d wager sark called the shots on who played and overruled flood for that. -
The failures are due to some individual cells in the pack. Many of them get repaired by 3rd parties to use as things such as home battery systems. The functioning packs that age down their capacity are directly used for other purposes with lower performance requirements. The fully failed packs are recycled with 90-95% content recovery. So, still lower environmental impact than traditional vehicles that go to the crusher. The most common complaint I've heard about the Kia/Hyundai company is how terrible their dealerships are. My friends attest the same. It's a shame given how good some of their products seem.

This will hopefully piss off Trump since it's a jab at the US. A “Moscow Format” meeting is underway in Moscow with Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in attendance, his first visit since Russia officially recognized the Taliban government in July. Lavrov stated that any foreign military infrastructure in Afghanistan is unacceptable and discussed prospects for bilateral relations.
