Even with momentary help, I do not there is any way Brooks could handle him as he is already across his face. Now if the play was coming his way yes. These kinds of things are the reason for a lot of out failures along the o-line. Just making shit difficult for no reason.

Man I really wish I was at the house for this so I could show clips. As @BurntOrange&White said, basically the guys are being asked to do shit they arent capable of. Sometimes its a strength issue. Sometimes its technical. Let me give you an example of what he means. Cut to the 7:20 mark. There is a DT playing 1 tech(in the gap between the center and guard) in the left a gap. We are handing the ball off to the right and we are asking the left guard to reach a DT with the playing going away from him. Not sure how he, or anyone, is going to do that. In the Arch thread I used the phrase systemic issues. This is what I mean. https://youtu.be/a6zEo6IBzs0?si=1FZvFzKk24TVdzzV

As JBJ here said, BV struggles against stretch/WZ/OZ. There are different types of fronts. Florida is a big, physical front that ties up your O-line and doesn't allow blockers to get to the second level. They are gap sound, so they just lean on you and no gaps are available for backs to dance around in. Meanwhile Oklahoma's front gets it done by being athletic and disruptive. Shooting gaps, and causing havoc is what they do. But that favors a backs like Wisner. Wisner will intentionally step into a gap to make defenders commit then bounce to another one. He understands how to sell his intentions and overly aggressive fronts like OUs pay for it. In the passing game we just got the ball out quicker. Simple as that. We increased the amount of screens we ran and it looked like someone really got in Arch's ear about finding the checkdowns. Long developing routes were still there he just wasn't taking them. Everyone wants to credit Sark as if he really made some big changes when Arch should get the credit for coming into this game determined to not hold the ball. Dude completed balls for 166 yards. Thats under 8 per catch. To put that in perspective, Quinn Ewers, Mr Dink-and-Dunk, averaged 11.89 per catch last year. Arch is still missing reads. He was just listening to his bio-clock this game.

100%!!!! There is nothing wrong with a sidearm throw. Most QBs these dys are taught to change platforms. Of all the things to complain about with Arch this ain't it.
-
Yep. He was awful last year too. People just weren't paying attention. Seem like we should be able to replace him but here we are.
-
The crazy part is this offense IS built for him. Let me explain. Outside zone is what made the Shanahans famous. Faking that stretch play and the QB boot out the back is what we were opening up games with like 4 games in a row. And because its OZ its easy to wash down the defensive like on the zone read leaving the QB with only second and third level guys to worry about. I think once he has a full command of it people will love what we are currently doing. He can run or throw off of it really well.
-
Of course you cut off the rest of my comment. Again disingenuous.

Lol. Here we go...

Black people are 53% of all US murder arrests is a stat. But another stat is black people are 7.5 times more likely to be falsely accused, as well as black people constitute 55% of the exonerations. A person could shout the first stat from the mountain top while ignoring the other two that tell another part of the story. That is what you are doing here, Derka, and its disingenuous.
-
Stats say whatever you want them to say Derka. For example the stats say that Ewers was mid on intermediate routes. Then you watch a game and see him intentionally throw two balls out the back of the end zone and then another two into the stands to avoid a sack and there goes his percentage, right? Truth is if you watch him he wasn't missing a bunch of intermediate throws. The stats count those throwaways just the same. The stats also dont take into account what you are being asked to do, meaning not all intermediate throws are the same. A receiver driving 15 yards down field and sitting down is not the same as a 15-20 yard dig. That dig is a big boy throw, but it counts the same in the stat book. Sarkisians offense requires big boy quarterbacking as his routes are almost always on the move. We haven't had a great O-line. We couldn't run the ball vs talented fronts, Cam Williams was a turnstile, and we had left guard problems even then. What a lot of people dont understand is the issues are largely systemic. We've consistently asked people to do things they cannot do. Like we run this play every game and its stupid. We run a play action pass where the line blocks just like its split zone. In case you didnt know split zone is inside zone but where the TE comes from the Hback spot all the way across the formation to block the backside DE. Probably a 1/3 of Ewers sacks came from that dumb ass blocking scheme. Slow devloping ply asking a guy to do something he cannot. We had one great lineman. Guys like Cam Williams got drafted on measurables. If he was good he goes in the first round. Everyone else was adequate to bad. Ewers just learned to get the ball out quickly. Again, we had one freakish receiver and a bunch of other solid ones. Like I said, if your receivers are going to the league it means the QB is playing well. Quit making it like Ewers didnt help get them where they were. He had a huge hand in that. Have some respect.
-
That's what pissed me off the most. Ewers put the ball on the money. Rarely did guys have to twist, turn, or even break stride on everything intermediate on down. He was so quick to pop a ball out to his check down that he had people here thinking "that was the play call". Sure the freaks like Jeremiah Smith are going in the first round no matter what, but when you are getting all your pass catchers to the league it means your quarterback is playing well too. Matthew Golden doesn't go in the 1st round if he stays in Houston. We took Ewers for granted. Hopefully one day he is appreciated for his time here. Back to back CFP and 2 and 1 vs OU is nothing to sneeze at, and was 1 minute away from Pete the Great status.

Yes sir. Again, everyone was do upset that Ewers was checking down and favoring shorter routes. Its what had to happen in order to mitigate negative plays.

The football gods are righting the ship. Let em cook.

Im just going to say it. This staff needs to quit trying to feature Ryan Wingo. -
Yep. We were shitty in pass pro too. Ewers just got the ball out so it didnt seem bad. Yesterday Arch tried to take one deep shot and coincidentally was sacked.
