  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. They’re quite nice, but a distant second to fruity pebbles.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I think just plain “flakes” suffices.
  14. We fired a coach who struggled to win 7 games with his 2020 squad. His Mensa ass would still be here overthinking questions, undercooking food and sitting on single digit leads in the second quarter if he had managed to win 9 games last year.
  15. Can something without a soul be woken up?
  16. Just remember that women would be the nastiest creature on the planet if they weren’t so lovely. They’ll out fart you any day of the week. I’m pretty sure the ladeez room looks like post nuclear Hiroshima when a group of them goes to powder their noses together.
  17. What’s nice here is that he had choices. He holds the ball a half a beat longer and one of the slot receivers was in the process of getting very lonely in the corner of the end zone.
  18. What’s with the gap?
  19. Now This has a new handle?
  20. I guess no one is going to mention that they snuck Kareem’s Abdul Jabar in on the far right as their token black guy?
  21. Do you hope they’ll dance…..
  22. It’s 15 feet above the lake so it should be fine. I think I saw the storm surge was in the 10ft range.
  23. The video feed showed cars driving. Hopefully emergency services, but it wasn’t clear.
  24. Mine are East of there in Washington Parish. They should miss the worst of it. Just had a whole house generator installed with about a week’s worth of fuel stored so they felt confident. I asked them what would they do if a tree fell on it. Blank stares in reply. Tried to get them to leave before the final path was better known, and they declined because they were worried about taking their cats. SMH.
