    also, reminder that randi trew lost her job at frenship HS due to her verbal abuse of her kids, among other things. so if that’s really worse than drunk driving, then being so verbally abusive to the kids you’re in charge of that the school lets you go despite having just led the team to its best ever season says a lot about the poor, helpless, blameless victim of chris beard’s “abuse”.

    I witnessed Randi in action when she was coaching at Frenship against my daughter’s VB team. I knew the first time we played them, that she was certifiable. Crazy temper…it wasn’t pretty.

    Blue ans Baxter is going to midgole opposing defenses. We all knew once Blue got his chance he would explode. Seeing him show he Dan run north-south will shoot him up draft boards, especially with his hands. Fast, strong, quick, with incredible hands will make him a huge commodity during draft time next season unless he comes back, which if he goes for over 1300 yards with 8+ TD's, he shouldn't. Easiest way to keep selling the RB position. Choice is a wizard

  3. I just can’t believe Hunter has regressed so far. He’s so physically talented, but damn he has just totally lost it. 

    I really thought he was going to be a great player when he transferred in…very disappointing.

    Hell, I ain't black and I was stopped by police just the other day for driving through a neighborhood really slowly. They thought I was looking sketchy haha.

  5. Houston does a good job penetrating, causing our bigs to play help defense which frees their rebounders for good position for offensive boards. Plus they’re well coached to crash and be relentless on the boards. Seems like it’s a culture thing for them.

    ADs route running does not negate the fact that Quinn did not recognize the soft coverage with the DB 7-8 yards off the receiver and make the adjustment. The QB has to know that AD is open if he throws it to the pylon. The lob out of the side of the end zone was the wrong throw when it’s clear the adjustment should have been to throw it towards the pylon. Colt McCoy was even standing in the end zone and was like WTF dude why are you throwing it outside like that. 

    Last time for me on this play. 
     

    It wasn’t a great throw by Quinn but it was catchable in bounds, imo. He was under pressure and had to get rid of the ball where he could give AD a chance to make the catch.
     

    If AD breaks to the outside instead of doing a 360 degree spin he could have been in position to jump sooner, jumping at the same time the DB jumps and essentially “blocking him out”, like a rebound. He’s taller and bigger than the DB, so I think he wins that battle. The ball is slapped away right on the boundary line. I think if AD could have jumped straight up earlier he could have made the catch and gotten a foot in bounds. 
     

    Maybe Quinn was improvising because of the pressure and threw it to a different spot than AD was expecting, we don’t know. But, I don’t think the blame should fall all on Quinn for that play.

    It looked like a shitty throw from this angle. AD was already moving sideways and there’s no way he could have stopped and jumped vertically. Momentum would have taken him out of bounds. The throw is so high you can barely see it in the frame.

     

    This play has been nitpicked to death.  Quinn throws the ball to spot where he thinks Mitchell is going.  Mitchell  decides to turn his body to the left almost making a 360 degree turn, despite the ball being throw to his right shoulder.  The DB is squared up and in much better position to react/jump for the ball than Mitchell. So Mitchell is turning his body (the wrong way) to square up to try and make the catch and doesn't have time to get in a good position to jump for the ball.  The DB was in a better position when the ball arrived and made a good play, bottom line. Nothing wrong with the throw under the circumstances, imo.

    On at least a couple of those throws it felt like the receiver should have been ready. I clearly don't know what the play/route was, but they weren't out of the ordinary timing wise. 

     

    Maybe, but it’s happened several times this season. I think he rushes it too much under pressure sometimes.  It’s better than holding the ball too long and throwing it late.

    Ewers is throwing to a spot where he thinks Mitchell is going to be. You can see he’s released the ball before Mitchell is in the end zone and he’s getting pressured. He gave Mitchell a chance and their DB made a good play. 
     

    Imo Ewers biggest issue is releasing the ball too early at times. He had 3 or 4 throws in this game when the receiver didn’t know the ball was thrown their way. His timing can be a bit off.

    Also good scouting by Wash to have their dline get their hands up and bat passes. Ewers has a low arm angle.
