  1. Also, Bobby come on man. We fully understand Wingo is an integral part of the offense, but that doesn't mean we need to target him as much as we do, especially on gotta have it downs. If you remember back to 2022, we were targeting Worthy a ridiculous amount. The next year we relegated Worthy largely to plays around the line of scrimmage and the offense got better because of it. Some people just aren't downfield guys and that's okay. I'm just asking to cut down on the amount is all.

    There will be debate as to how persons define a drop.  For PFF purposes, I’m not certain whether they called it a drop or not.

    In any event, I reckon my point was more that, drop or not, his WR skills up to the point of the catch attempt made the catch attempt far more difficult that it should have been.

    Either way you end up at the same place.  Incomplete rather than a huge play.

    100% agree with you there.

    You could be right.

    This is not a dropped pass, but the more I see it the more I think it should be a catch.  You can’t make your QB guess where he thinks you’ll be, he needs to anticipate where he expects you to be.  With Wingo, it’s difficult to tell which one you get.

    A ball that goes right through both your arms without being touched by a defender is a drop, no matter how difficult a catch it may seem to be. Maybe its not as obvious on all 22, but on regular video this ball goes straight through his hands.

  4. Series 3-

     

    So now we are down 14 points. First drive was solid, but we got away from ourselves the second. We need to get things settled down and put a drive together to give our defense a chance to get it figured out. 

    1) 1st and 10. Sark comes back to 11 personnel in a 2x2 set, and then motions Endries to get a block on a second level defender. We pull 54 to block the DE. Tre bounces it outside and 54 tugs the jersey a little too long. Holding. 

     

     

     

    2) 1st and 15. We come out with the exact same set and motion as the last play, including motioning Endries. Field side Moore and Wingo run a switch release. Endries releases up the seam carrying the corner. Then we send Wisner in the flat. The beauty of this play is it isolates Mosely, a receiver, on Georgia's linebacker. Mosely fakes a hitch, and the runs a quick shallow drag and Arch hits him. Beautiful play design and execution. Why we haven't seen more of this I am not sure. Huge gain. 

     

     

     

     

    3) 1st and 10. We come out in 11 personnel with three receivers to the boundary. Sark is nothing if not predictable in these situations. Sark and Arch are like two addicts in a relationship. Sark is itching to call the deep shot and Arch is itching to throw it. This ball should not have been thrown. The corner was on top of the route the entire time. Regardless, we give our guy a chance anyway. Ball is underthrown and inside. Wingo runs under it but it goes right through his hands. Sark has to save us from ourselves here. These are drive killers. Sure there are two checkdowns where we could've picked up a quick 5, but Arch is a big game hunter. If you call it he WILL throw it. Stop. Also, for those counting, that is two drops by Wingo thus far. We have to stop putting him in these positions. We've thrown enough of these to where we know the percentage of completing them to him is slim to none. 

     

     

     

    4) 2nd and 10. We come out in 12 personnel with both tight ends to the field in a TE and HB look. Boundary side receiver runs a comeback, field side a speed out, and both TE's run hitches. Washington is open. We hit him. He drops it. Just like he has many times before. Why are we making football hard? Just two plays ago you ran a play that got your receiver matched up against a LB. Run it back and see if you get the same look. 

     

     

     

     

     

    5) 3rd and 10 and we all know what's coming. We line up in 11 personnel, in a tight 2x2 set. Georgia spins down to a 5 man front. They are about to bring 6. Moore runs an out and Arch hits him a little out front but a totally catchable ball that Moore drops. If I were to be nitpicky, I'd like to see Arch take a little something off these throws. Punt

     

     

     

     

    For those paying attention we have pretty much totally abandoned the running game. Also, I keep reading you can't blame Sark for lack of execution. You can when it's the same players over and over. Everyone is going to make mistakes, but at this point WE KNOW Wingo isn't going to come down with deep throws in traffic. We also know Washington has suspect hands.

    yep

    pretty silly to bash Sark for a WR stinking early in the game

    Either Wingo stinks or Moore stinks every game, we just can't seem to have both of them firing at the same time. 

    The QB power was not a great play call but damn every other play call in that break down we had the advantage. 

    Wingo is a multiple drop a game receiver. Moore is not. At some point you gotta understand that as a playcaller and stop putting him in those positions. I get you are trying to make sure he doesn't hit the portal for too little targets, but we are losing games betting on that dude. I'm about to put the next series up. Stay tuned.

    It's racism right?  If his name was Sheduer Smith and he was white this board would've gone crazy for him!!  He had an iffy game 2 but nobody really commented then either.

     

     

     

    I'll call it as  I see it.  Great game for Sheduer.  He's showing some promise.  He has this moxy about him on the field.  Excited to see what happens next week

    First of all, I think you are missing which name needs to change to make your point. 

    I don't know if it's racism. I really don't. What I do know is this dude is not a 5th round pick. He threw about 4 balls in that game that most QBs don't throw. The out route to the TE with the DB draped all over him, the over the shoulder throw to Fannin up the sideline, and earlier one Fannin dropped was equally as good, and the throw to Jeudy up the seam were beautiful balls. All behind that offensive line. How the hell this dude fell that far down people's draft boards is beyond me. Gabriel couldn't make those throws if his life depended on it. 

    Anyway, let the masses here get back to shitting on him. I am sure a bad game is in his future. Lol

    I'm curious to see how this develops through the rest of the game and how we did nothing with our run game outside of the first series 

    Exactly! The people upthread with something to say forgot how the rest of this game goes. We already called 75% of the runs in the game.

    One of Wisner's moves that he excels at is hitting thin creases, and dodging solid hits, which makes him difficult to bring down when he's a solid target and there's no where to hide.  When people talk about wiggle or being shifty,  Tre has it.  He's not fast, but can operate in a phone booth.  I don't know that he's particularly explosive, but he is able to one cut and turn upfield.  This is something Baxter lost, he doesn't have that extra gear or spring right before contact, or ability to cut and go.  It's not just being able to run, it's fast twitch that just seems to be missing.  

    Tre is an excellent change of pace back, that gains as the game goes on and players wear down.  This at times was also an indictment, because Sark would go away from plays there were working.  Also, running takes time for backs to build a rhythm and settle into the game, which is difficult to do sporadically.  

    All 22 really shows that we are shit at blocking, and Tre is still finding a way to make chicken salad anyway. Amazing to watch the kid work. The way he sets up blocks and squirts through gaps that you didn't even see until he did it.

    Bowl practice is going to give someone a shot to move up in the spring practice order.

    Every rep counts.

    There is always a camera. 

    If I'm a freshman or sophomore OL that didn't get to play this season, I'm kicking everyone's ass that I can, because there are spots available and I'm taking one.

    Hell, if I'm a QB, I'm kicking asses today, because Arch is a headshot away from potentially clocking out. Hell, let me bust ass enough to sit his ass down at halftime for this real football game, because in January, I'll be in a vest and not even have a shot to climb the chart.

    I swear, man... Some of y'all have the fucking losingest, weakest, presumptuous, entitled mentality about Texas football. 

    Get up and win the next rep. I don't care if it's in shorts and tshirts... COMPETE.

    The days of football will end for everyone, and most of us don't even realize, "that was the last play." 

    Embrace the game. If you love it, you won't turn your back on it.

    10 years ago, we were 5-7 and didn't even get invited to play in a bowl game.

    Texas vs Michigan in 24 days. Get your fucking mind right and stand the fuck up.

    Big Dawg came in swinging his dick around. Love it! 100% correct too. Another thing people don't get is that young people getting reps in a bowl game because a starter sat might be the difference between them not portaling out.

    This response is still disingenuous. Wingo is boom or bust I can admit that. I can also admit taking him off the field likely makes us even worse on offense. Also Sark calls a play and the team has to execute it. Arch has numerous passing options on said play. He threw the ball to the guy that got open. I doubt very seriously Sark is telling Arch to throw the ball to Wingo in the headset.

    It's a mesh concept specifically intended for Wingo, the number 1 receiver, to get open vs man. I don't disagree that Wingo has to be on the field. I do disagree to the amount of targets or us choosing him as the guy to go to in these gotta have it moments. In my opinion, this has to go to your hands guy. You are fully entitled to your own opinion though. I respect that.

    So you get on your soapbox to call others out for pushing agendas just for you to turn around and do the same thing. We get it, everything is Sark’s fault, including a WR inexplicably tripping over his own feet on a play he has previously executed numerous times and in another instance dropping a routine catch. 

    When a player keeps dropping the ball and you keep putting him in crucial situations where you need a play, who's fault is that? Wingo has suspect hands and you keep going to him on 3rd and gotta have it. I am not one of those that wants Sark fired, but I am going to be critical of him. 

    Plenty more to go in this game so sit tight.

    Good play analysis.  

    You intro it, though, with criticism of Sark.    Yet, for most of the plays, you praise Sark or blame player execution for the failure.  This is, I believe, the only specific Sark problem you mention:

    Sark, what formation or down is causing them to line up like this? Because if we can trigger it we can run on them. Georgia is far more difficult when they are attacking. 

    Of course, to one degree or another, player execution or lack thereof, is Sark's fault, as are the more systemic problems like OL and blocking scheme.

    I'm sure there's more.  

    Twice, its the first drive bro! Plenty of plays to go.
