  1. Holly Rowe and Dee Snider had a tryst, and I can prove it.
  2. I would surmise that they are largely just ok with moments of excellence. Even steaks of it. Having Bijan Robinson covers many sins. And we’re going to need to figure out how to move the ball in the air against defenses that can take away Worthy.
  3. One might surmise that a defense that is weak up the middle and is defending the perimeter would be susceptible up the the middle. That the threat of our outside attack helped set the table for success inside. Unless you’re that guy. In which case you’d feature IZ, never establish the ability to reach the edge and beat your head against the middle of a defense who’s expecting you to beat your head against the middle of the defense.
  4. I’d love for us to come out in 21 or 22 personnel with Keilan as one of the backs, motion him out of the backfield to get a nickel or LB manned up on him and then tell him to run fast because the ball is coming.
  5. This. Where I’m at they’re ignoring beautiful 10 ft wide, largely unused hike and bike trails which I might understand if they looked like they could manage any speed at all to avoid pedestrian traffic. Instead its always a group of 10-20 wannabes decked out like they’re in the Tour de France, with guts that look like they ate Lance Armstrong.
  6. Or wherever the F he was before. The point stands.
  7. Arkansas runs the same defense as ISU. Our OL execution was abysmal combined with running into fronts that looked inviting, but were bait for hard charging secondary members. In short, it was very much a Big XII defense. Our guys were confused, executing poorly and being asked to do things they aren’t very good at in addition to all the pig emotion etc. Poor design, poor play selection, poor player deployment, poor execution and poor preparation for the kind of environment we were walking into.
  8. Probably why he wasn’t getting playing time at Alabama.
  9. I’d say the 2003 OL gained confidence because VY’s legs provided the constraint that GD couldn’t begin to think of, and they tasted success, developed belief and confidence and were able to win against honest numbers. Casey not self sacking, being decisive and his confident demeanor surely help, but we’re finally asking them to do things that they can do, and Bijan either makes the defense pay or makes less than perfect execution right with his ridiculous skills. And now they are tasting success, developing belief and confidence and Sark is going to make sure they they face winnable box counts or he’ll buttfuck them with the RPO/PA.
  10. Right down to the headband.
  11. Or maybe we just understand that running OZ well is a better option than running IZ poorly regardless of the opponent. Oh noes, we might face an athletic front!!!!!!!! How does we ever account for that????? STFU. You’re on the wrong side of this. It’s been clear which concepts our players can execute well since the end of last year. Same dudes playing this year. Same shit works. And now we have a one cut monster starting at RB. I personally don’t care what offense we run so long as it works. I am, however, good and damn tired of trying the force things that don’t work in the name of dogmatic BS.
  12. He always makes me think of Wasabi from Big Hero 6.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Calzada looks as Latino as I do. Which is to say “not very.”
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. So, uh, we wanna bullshit anymore about having to build our run game off of IZ?
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
