    I mean, it's not the play call! 

    Arch had plenty of fuckups in this game, no need to invent new ones. 

     

    The play call? The rush is coming. You can see it out of the corner of your eye. Get rid of the football. What do you think coaches tell you to do in this situation vs a blitz? 

    1) keep running the play and take the sack

    2)abort the play and throw the ball away

    3)throw the ball to the first available guy you see who is free

    This.  It’s the trap of being so committed to counter punching( taking what the defensive alignment “gives”) that you don’t develop a consistent identity(plays you execute with cutthroat skill) as an offense.  Sarks biggest failure IMPO

    Yep. Sark is most definitely a numbers guy.

    It's clearly a fake screen. Also Arch does looks at Wingo and gives a very quick shoulder fake, probably because the pressure was already coming, then he proceeds to get killed. 

    Literally a dead play because the OL got destroyed.

    You know you can throw that if its open right?

    At the 19 minute mark, im pretty sure that is a drawn up as a fake little screen. Arch is supposed to pump fake the screen (which is why Wingo jumped).  The TE pretends to block for Wingo, but then immediately takes off down field. No one bites because Arch never even looks at Wingo to draw them in. 

    Exactly. However, guess what you are supposed to do if the long route isnt there?

    UK did exactly what I thought OU would do to us. Pummel the A gaps. Lucky for us, Venables tried to get cute with different blitz packages.

    Venables fronts are undisciplined. You can bet that everybody we play will be playing contain on the edge and bringing pressure up the middle to prevent Arch from escaping. I dont forsee those LG and C PFF grades changing anytime soon.

    Arch flashes big plays. That's what shows his potential. But we haven't seen him really run an offense. I thought we got progress against OU, but a lot of predicated on a pretty super human performance from Tre. 

    Yep.

    3:30 mark-2nd and 8 we set up a 1/2 field read to the boundary. Arch has Wingo on a stop route to the outside if he hits him right when he breaks but chooses the harder throw to Washington that gets tipped. 

     

    4:16 mark- 1st and 10. Arch has Wisner on a rail route who has a step on his defender out of the backfield but doesn't see it. 

    4:48 mark- 3rd and 3 dumb flea flicker play call but Arch has the deep post 1v1 with a step but instead chooses to throw to the TE who is double covered. 

    8:06 mark- 3rd and 6 Sark schemes Wingo open on a cross and Arch misses. 

    12:25 mark- Mosely runs a crosser and is open on the break but we choose to target Washington who is bracketed left and right. 

    13:28 mark- 2nd and 7. We run the ole Shanahan fake stretch with a boot out the backdoor. TE is open immediately and if we hit him he can get his head around to handle the closing defender. Instead we run two to three more steps then pass it and he is tackled immediately. 

    19:00  mark- 2nd and 10 Arch drops back and Wingo is literally waving his arms sitting on the los to the boundary. Arch never sees him. 

    Thats just the first half.  I can keep going. Those are the plays we need in order to keep drives moving.

    comes off the bench for one 4th down play, drags his nuts all over a&m’s defense, breaks a tackle, shows incredible balance and athleticism in staying in bounds, tricks his way into the end zone for a huge TD. you don’t remember this?

    this is such a wild assertion to begin with. like we all weren’t jumping for joy when he improvised for that TD vs CSU? like we all just stayed seated on the couch and yawned when he sprinted for a 50-something yard TD and turned around and taunted the DB’s who couldn’t catch him? as if at no point during his 18 for 21, 5 TD game did he look kinda awesome. seriously?

    you’s a hater. 

    Wow plays are just wow plays Derka. Football is about stringing together 12-15 play drives. You can have the guy that does 2 amazing things per game. I will take the boring guy who moves the chains.

    Checks notes. UTSA, ULM, and MSU. A combined 14-23 on the season and 0-11 vs P4 teams. But keep fucking that chicken. Whats funny is I tried to warn you Derka. Some of us saw this coming. Some of us were seeing the holding of the ball. Errant passes. Inability to play inside the structure of the offense. But we were touted as haters. We even brought receipts in the form of video and was accused of putting together "lowlights". I was dead right about Arch Derka but now we wanna blame every damn thing under the sun in order to not have to own up. Its he changed his mechanics. Then its the play calling. Its the line. Its every damn thing under the sun but him. Caldwell comes in and gets the ball out. No sack or pressure. Arch comes right back in and is running for his life. You guys just refuse to take ownership of being wrong. We will probably light Miss St up again and everyone here will proclaim the ship lighted. Rinse and repeat. But you do you. Carry on.

    C and LG have been absolutely killing us all season. The other three are alright, and we'd be decent overall with even mediocre play at those two spots. Oh well, shoot for the stars. 

    Opponents are blitzing the a gaps and trying not to go past QB depth on the edge to keep Arch in the pocket. So all the cute shit is coming up the middle.

    We're gonna have to agree to disagree re: whether Manning would be better with a better line in front of him and whether he can make short/intermediate throws.  But I've got the tape from his two starts last season to back me up, whereas you have . . . your faulty recollection.  In that regard, I notice that you didn't bother to address the throw from last year's MSU game that I specifically called out.  That was a beautiful throw, and it's proof positive that he has the ability to do more than simply (as you contend) throw it deep.

    The two aspects of your post with which I can agree are your statements that "[h]e isn't just the problem" and that "he is absolutely a problem . . ."       

    @Dahobbs has the Georgia game. You know, the only game we got to see Arch play vs a legit P4 opponent. How did he look? 

  11. 13 minutes ago, BurntOrange&White said:

    So how does his experience last year show this year? I’m not seeing much correlation here. But sure, let’s keep talking about last year because it’s definitely helping him be one of the worst p4 QBs. 

    Give it up Burnt. None of these dudes learned their lesson from the Mack Brown days where we hung 60 on UNT and everyone was chest bumping until OU hung 60 on us. They seem to think what we looked like vs teams that could barely win a game all season hold any merit for how we played vs anyone with a pulse.

    Don't be fucking obtuse.

    26/31 for 325 yards and 2 TD plus another on the ground.

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401628378/mississippi-st-texas

    You realize Miss St won two games last year right, and neither was a p4 win? They didn't win a conference game at all. If you watch the Georgia video you see exactly what you are seeing this year. Im not being obtuse. I just dont give a lot of weight to tomato cans. 

  13. 1 minute ago, BurntOrange&White said:

    Can we stop talking about Arch last year as if it has any fucking relevance to the piece of shit product we’re seeing this year?

    I just wanna know what they are talking about. Are they really talking about the sacrificial lambs we played leading up to playing real opponents as evidence? 

  14. 1 minute ago, UTEE97 said:

    When the OL is not blocking anyone, your throws are rushed. Arch looked amazing with much better OL play last year and he sucked when the OL didn't hold against UGA. It's hard to draw a conclusion on how good or bad Arch will be in college when you have virtually no OL. These big humans are confused and letting a free rusher or two by on every down. Fix the OL first because no other QB is going to light it up with this OL.

    When did he look amazing last year? Seriously?

    What’s the downside of that offense? Or in other words why is Sark running offense A while Kiffin runs offense B given they both hung out under Saban?

    People like what they like and believe what they believe in. Why did the pirate like the air raid? Who knows. I think Sark sticks with his offense because kids like to play in the pro style because they believe it will get them to the league. He has changed it in the past if you know his story.

    Damn I saw the stats and thought he came in and played ok

     really it was one prayer that got caught eh

    Lol. Thats how averages work Zeus. Funny. When Arch threw a deep ball against MSU while getting hit we were told that it was something Ewers would or could never do. Then Ewers does it in the NFL and its a "prayer". Lol.

    I’m fascinated by the contrast in situations between Kiffin at Ole Miss and his QB, vs Sark and Arch.  

    Every play, Kiffin right before the snap tells the QB where to go with the ball. If the defense doesn’t completely disguise its coverage, presumably the play has a high chance of success. Ole Miss is scoring points. 

    However, to win a title your QB needs to be able to read coverages, because sooner or later you will run into well disguised defenses. I don’t know why Smart did so poorly at it yesterday. 

     

    4 and 5 wide make it difficult to disguise defenses. The defense has to get to their assignments with so many receivers on the field spread from sideline to sideline. Thats why offenses like that have such high completion percentages.

    We are 6-0 with Quinn Ewers, 3 NFL offensive linemen, 1 NFL tight end, 1 NFL running back, 3 NFL wide receivers, and yall are still complaining he cannot hit the deep ball

    Lol. So there are no future NFL linemen, receivers, TEs, or backs on this roster is what you are saying? We lost NFL guys in 22, 23, and 24. Each time we retooled with lesser players and each time we continued to win. We started the season with an underwhelming Ohio State that scored 14 points and a loss to a Florida team that just fired their coach. We haven't even gotten to the good teams yet but we are supposed to believe that there is no way Ewers could win behind this line. Completely silly. I want Arch to play but part of me wants another guy to come in just long enough so you can see that this line isnt nearly as bad as you guys think it is.

    That’s a bold statement when you throw in probably 7-8 more turnovers minimum on self sacks fumbles, just sacks with a lot of extra yards lost with him back there, definitely more int, with this line.  

    A bold statement? Lol. You guys act like every week we are playing the 2000's Ravens defense. Then the very next week that same defense gets shredded by a much worse team than ours. You want teams to stop blitzing with reckless abandon? Get the ball out quickly. You know who does that? Quinn Ewers. We had a shitty line last year too. LG was an issue. Cam Williams was a turnstile at PB and only got drafted because he is a physical specimen. Most of Ewers sacks came in 3 games and even then he was a superior QB to what we are getting from 16. Last game you saw what a serious effort to get the ball out can do to help stimy a real good front 7 and then you act as though the guy who lived off of the quick game would somehow struggle against a worse Kentucky team than we played last year because of what Arch did. Come on bro.

    I'm sorry you can't look a little deeper into it. 

    Arch is a part of the problem. But he would have to be elite for this offense to be functional and consistent. There is so much failure and lack of execution all over the offensive side of the ball, and two things can be true at once. 

     

    We had the same problems last year and we blamed the quarterback. 

  21. 2 minutes ago, TwiceHorn said:

    I understood.  Thought it was an interesting point and very possibly valid.  Every now and then, things line up for him and he executes a pretty great throw.

    I know you did Twice, but a lot of lurkers may not so i chose to elaborate. And you are correct. When things align for him he shows his abilities.

    And instead of working off the successful game manager performance, Sark went back to hero ball and set up Arch to fail again, outside of a few crucial open throws he absolutely needs to complete. 
     

     

    What is it you think Sark did different from last game to this game?

    So, is he a football dumbshit or over-coached.  There have been some allusions to all the coaches in his ear, relatives, private coaches, our staff.

    I dont mean he doesn't know the plays at all. He can call the plays. I mean he doesn't know them so well that he can see them in his head during the game. He is calling the play and then walking to the line and seeing blank. He doesn't see a defensive player moving and say to himself "that means x or y is open". He cant recall what x or y was supposed to do until he sees them do it.
