That’s my greatest hope. That we have someone who can run a functional offense, and not depend on the QB’s legs to make things right time and again. Being able to make things happen is a good thing. Having to make things happen every down is backyard hero ball.

It’s like people haven’t watched this movie for years. OU looks exceptionally mortal early, either we step on our dicks or they skull fuck us in Dallas, and then they get their shit together and win out for another title. WVU would have won if their offense were only mildly terrible. It is nice to finally see the OU offense cycle like most normal programs.

The is the same sumbitch that was swearing up and down that we couldn’t run outside, that our inability to run inside was an attitude thing and that we’d just have to accept the coaches running dumb shit because that’s how you build a team. He hasn’t showed up to eat crow there.
-
I understand your reasoning. I’m saying that virtually every other area of our strategy and execution was so sub par that it probably wouldn’t have made a difference. Casey has played well the last two games, but our offense in particular has decided to playable feature non regarded football. That wasn’t the case against Arky. Might we like to see than again at the end of the season? Maybe? Is that our KSU 98 game where the team gets trounced, picks itself back up and makes a conference title run as the offense gets its shit together? Sure. Need the defense to play non track meet football against an opponent with a pulse first.

Well, the staff still chose to feature the inside run game, the ol’ Barry Odom is waiting for you to make that mistake strategy, the OL still was out their fisting itself for 3 quarters on national tv and wundercoordinator dc still planned to defend the V/S with honest boxes against a QB who reads defenses at a remedial level. So don’t beat yourself up wishing Casey would have made the difference.
-
Some non meathead stopped and asked the following in a staff meeting...”So what if we run the plays our players are good at instead of what we like to run as coaches?” After a solid 90 seconds of stunned silence the OL coach said “Whoa, that’s deep” under his breath, and Sark decided to accept the challenge of tailoring his offense to be based on OZ.

Calzada looks as Latino as I do. Which is to say “not very.” -
It looks like Jamison might need some help over the top, and apparently the soft gooey middle of the defense in zone was something PAC-12 QB’s weren’t overly familiar with.
-
And miraculously, once our OL had some success and tasted aggression, we were able to get some movement inside against a whooped ass defense looking to defend the perimeter. Oh, and you can still play pass off the lesser used inside run game just fine.
-
So, uh, we wanna bullshit anymore about having to build our run game off of IZ?
-
Your premise is flawed. 3 of our 5 starters are what they are at this point having been in the program 4-6 years, and are on their second and third staffs. They’re not getting coached up. Christian Jones might get there one day, but his current developmental path isn’t congruent with success this year. The guys who can get coached up are either not on campus or are decorating the sideline. Anyone who’s paid attention took the preseason news of the deployment of our OL with a grain of salt. We’re past game three and it was justified. I agree that Sark wants to have backside protection for his RPO’s and Play pass stuff, and that he doesn’t like using OZ and wide concepts because the backside defender is free. He’s on record as saying that. Tough shit. The preferred stuff isn’t isn the cards at this time, and he and the OL coach need to get over the fact that one of our five best OL isn’t the NFL ideal, and accept what he and others can do. There’s a lot of hay to be made with a mobile OL and our RB room. It needs to be made. We’re not doing the whole build it back up over 4-5 years patiently thing. This thing needs to be humming in the next two given the conference shift. Sark was gifted a talented enough roster, recruitable school and transfer portal to make that happen. We need to win now. It needs to get rolling now. We don’t have Alabama’s OL group, but it’s far and away better than the unmitigated, fiery shit shows that Strong and Herman inherited.

Doing things right? Here’s what’s right in football. Do something well. Preferably a few things well. Build constraints off of those things, and do the constraints well. And then adjust each for specific opponents. Or we can do it the meathead way and fail running inside trying to teach ourselves to run inside so we can then suck at the constraints built off of running inside, because it’s not especially hard to stop in the first place. No one is saying abandon every run inside. Just de-emphasize them until we have the players that can execute them, or the coaches can coach it up in practice. You act as though fanatical fans haven’t watched the same players fail to do the same things under 2-3 coaching staffs now. Sorry, these aren’t blank slates. On the sidelines or on the field. Tom Herman is an appropriate example of what not to do. He spammed inside zone for years despite our never being particularly good at it. According to you he should have been successful since, ya know, it’s the building block of all offenses in your eyes. But, in a point in both his and my ledger, he figured out LJH was nigh indefensible in the slot on option routes, and kept calling it’s number. It probably kept him employed a year past his expiration date. It’s real simple. Have some success doing what we are capable of, or bash our heads against the wall doing what we wish we were capable of. I just want to win as much as possible. Attempting that through forcing shitty line play in the name of multiplicity is a poor strategy to apply to that whole win as much as possible thing. Btw, winning as much as possible usually earns a staff the right to attain players who can indulge their dogmas. And then you and the coaches can get hard thinking about success up the middle buoying full field RPO’s.
-
Poor analogy. Sports are not academics. The goal is to win the game. Not beat yourself up trying to be well rounded at all aspects of the it. Simply being really good a few things will suffice until the do it all studs can be recruited. Running what we want to run whether or not we can actually run it is a fine way for a coach to find themselves in a nice comfy analyst position in the near future.
-
You know what obliterates your playbook? Getting IZ blown up play after play and ending up in third and Orlando so that we can show off our dismal pass blocking. Running outside with half field RPO’s will keep the staff employed long enough to recruit players that will allow them to call the plays they want to instead of the plays they have to. Every running play need not be a sprint to the sideline. There’s plenty of things you can counter with once you’ve established your ability to get wide. But this offense needs some bread and butter to build an identity off of, and the coaches can jack off to their multiple offense wet dreams another day. OZ right, and boot against it left is a fine cornerstone on which to build a foundation.

Bobby_Batronic replied to satyanash's topic in Football
Mainly just quoting Sark on the matter. The larger point being that it’s difficult to create a pocket for the RPO with OZ or wide runs. And as you said, Sark doesn’t care about the ZR aspect other than as the occasional silver bullet/change of pace. -

Eggzactly. Looks like we’re trying to run 20 different concepts, most of which weren’t our strengths to begin with, and are running them poorly at best. We’ve seen what Flood wants the line to look like. Big, ugly, mashers. Problem is we’re mostly just big and ugly. Running wide negates much of Sark’s RPO game because the backside end is usually free, but that may just have to be the price we pay until we can add marginal ability to run block inside a part of our repertoire. Maybe even get crazy and use that orbit motion to influence the end by actually getting them the ball or some 20 personnel counter draw action. Something where the line can do what it usually does and one or two players doing something else blows up the defensive keys or out leverages them. Ya know, coordinate and offense or something. -

It’s pretty simple. Sark’s offensive foundation is various forms of inside zone, and the RPO and PA game off of it. He will run some gap schemes and OZ as well, but those are largely complimentary. He doesn’t like the wide stuff because the backside end or contain player is often unaccounted for, and this makes it difficult to build his RPO and RPO looking PA passes off of them. There are a few in the Bama highlights from last year, but they are always completions near the LOS, and often the pass is completed around the arms of the free backside defender. Sark will also run counter plays, but much of his counter action and pulling gap stuff is largely eye candy for the defense and his RPO/PA game with a solid pocket being formed. I can only imagine that an RPO game built off of OZ would require consistent use of an arc blocking end, influencing orbit motion and or boot action for the QB. I’m sure there’s hay to be made there, but perhaps not the quick hitting candy with minimal decision making and coverage reading for the QB. There are no offenses that work well with an inept GCG combo. That must be shored up, and the run game simplified if it’s too complex with too many concepts imoho. Functional and reliable if not overly fluent should be the order of the day imoho. And then hold on until more athletic bodies that match our OL coach’s ideals are recruited or transferred in. -
The point isn’t caring if you win big with lower than anticipated yardage totals. The point was that Sark, and one of the more productive offenses in CFB history, struggled against a bad Pig team. It’s apparent by comparing their output with how they fared against other opponents, and with just using your eye to watch the damn game. The larger point being that it appears Barry Odom’s defense presents some questions that Sark may not have great answers for.
-
Maybe a typical Bama game from 2012. Jones and Young attempted 33 passes for 230ish yards and 0 TD’s. They rushed the ball 38 times for another 210 yards. This game was their 3rd lowest offensive output of the year, and second worst 1st down and YPP game. All while Pig self destructed on offense. Arkansas had 4 turnovers. The only other two teams that challenged Alabama like that were ND in the playoffs, and the first game of the year with a new QB against Missouri.
-
Final scores are not always indicative of how the game was played. Alabama struggled mightily to move the ball while Arkansas essentially imploded on offense.

They’re quite nice, but a distant second to fruity pebbles.

Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.
Bobby_Batronic replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
In every instance of my dealing with Medaire, who we use to defer liability for decision making, they have told us to continue to our destination. I don’t feel they’re overly interested in stepping out for liability themselves unless a xenomorph is emerging in 23B. On the gate the plane is under the control of the gate agent and company, and this douche wasn’t registering on the threat matrix diction tree. So he came along. I think they ought to at least charge them for the fuel. Miracle flights are domestic as well. Well known between anywhere in the NE and Florida. 20-40 who need special assistance to pre-board find 3 hours in a cramped metal tube sufficient to enable them to walk. -

We had a guy feign a panic attack as we took the runway to try and get a row to himself on the way to Cancun. Officially counted as an aborted takeoff for the FAA as we took the runway to depart even though we immediately exited, and a gate return with paramedics waiting. We wanted him off. FA’s wanted him off. Paramedics said he was fine, Medaire ( doctors we can contact on the radio) said he was fine, and the gate agent/company said to take him. Hour plus delay, a not insignificant amount of fuel and a general paperwork circus ensued. He was a model passenger for the actual flight. -
Looks like she got her pants down and was finding someplace for her purse before she dropped those granny panties and the port tipped to deliver the goods. Or was in the reverse of that process minus the reveal.

I think just plain “flakes” suffices.
