  1. Two problems with this plan this year... Because this is exactly what we did last year. People complained about Ewers average depth of target, but it was because we were getting the ball into the hands of playmakers quick and letting them make plays. First problem: Arch is not as good as Quinn was on ball placement on screens and bubbles. Sometimes his throws are high or behind instead of leading the WR forward into their stride. Second problem: up until this week, our WRs and OL sucked ass at blocking, so getting those quick bubble and tunnel screens to be successful is really difficult without good blockers.
  2. Not so simple answer, it depends on the depth of the route. Slant, comeback, quick crosses, etc., then yes, he can hit them on the numbers or in stride and on time. Not sure about screens and bubbles as Troy didn't run those a ton. Deep routes? I've seen him hit some really nice fades in stride. WR was wide open, so he had a big margin for error. Sometimes fails to see the safety coming across. Didn't attempt a lot of deep posts or deep middle third, so not sure. Can struggle with intermediate routes, tends to over throw the 15-20 yard routes.
  3. As probably the only person on this board who watched every Troy game last year, I can speak to his game a little bit. He started the year either second or third string... It's hard to tell because multiple guys were hurt and then QBs got switched in and switched out. Ultimately played in 8 games and won 3 of them (all of Troy's FBS wins last year). Played a decent game against Iowa. He's got good zip on short timing routes; slants, comebacks, etc. I think this is actually the best part of his game. (We saw that against Florida). Doesn't have great touch on the intermediate routes. Deep outs, overs, etc. I think this is where he struggles the most. Throws a really nice deep ball... Can get 55-60 air yards when he can step into it. However, he can get locked in if he thinks he's got a winner. Couple of his picks last year were from locking in on a WR and not seeing a safety come over on a fade or not seeing a corner drop back and get underneath a corner route. He's closer to Arch on the mobility scale than he would be to Ewers. Doesn't have the top speed of Arch, but has some escapability, can get out of the pocket, and has enough that he can threaten on a zone read. I worry about his pocket presence with this o line. A few sacks from last year, he would get to the top of his drop and would stay there while the play developed, which gave a better angle for the blind side DE to get to him... Didn't have the greatest feel for oncoming rushers and doesn't step up into the pocket a lot. Would prefer to escape sideways rather than step up. Can't speak to his post-snap processing as Troy didn't really ask him to do that a lot. A lot of their offense is pre snap identification of first target and then hitting timing routes. Not a ton of post snap read progression. He had some big plays last year escaping the pocket and finding his speedster down field.
  4. Concussions can be on a spectrum of severity. I've seen high school players be back at full contact practice a week later and I've seen guys miss the rest of the season. Repeated concussions tend to exhibit more severe and longer lasting symptoms.
  5. A buddy of mine invited me to go. RF, 3rd row....$1300 😬 and I've got clinic in San Diego Wednesday morning. No thanks lol
  6. As a Braves fan, God I miss him. I love Matt Olsen, but Freddie is just different.
  7. Before midnight on the west coast, so it's still tomorrow for the players
  8. Of course it's Freddie Freeman lol
  9. What a fucking pitch.
  10. Soccer knowers on the board, anyone have a dream candidate list? I'm sure the guy at TCU is an obvious inclusion on the list given some success and worked there under CDC. Who else who should be under consideration?
  11. He tore his ACL in AUGUST. I would be shocked if he plays anytime before April at the earliest. (Not accounting for however long it takes to get him back to to game speed)
  12. That's 100% exactly what I was thinking. I could be a college football coach apparently.
  13. Defense played their ass off and won the game for us. And Niblett. We only scored because of Niblett punt return.
  14. That's a win that feels like a loss.
  15. Ramsey Gary 😍 and everyone else too!
  16. Cloak Room is that way -->
  17. Son of a bitch. I live in San Diego and was really really looking forward to catching a game here.
  18. Avatar checks out.
  19. Don't know what class he actually is, but I do remember watching his dad play, so here you go.
  20. Question from the cheap seats... How is hitting percentage calculated? I assumed it was something like kills divided by swings.... But then how do you get a negative hitting percentage?
