Horry was probably the most talented basketball player ever but had a shitty work ethic. In basketball you can get away with it when you have Olajuwon, Shaq, & Duncan taking you to the promised land.
If you replace Horry with Shaq then this all the sudden makes sense.

I was yelling at the tailgate that they should bench Xavier for a series punitively for some of the mistakes he makes. It’s hard to justify because when he does make the catch he is a dynamic playmaker, but his drops are a huge problem. In the NFL they wouldn’t throw to him over a more reliable target because that’s how many drops he has at this point.
I am super curious to what people are seeing in Maalik being immobile in the pocket or having bad footwork. From what I saw I thought he did great and showed a lot more settled feet and willingness to throw when he knows he’s gonna get blown up. It’s not atypical for really large body quarterbacks to look and play a bit statuesque in the pocket, they can often play through contact more than the smaller guys. This is obviously a category Maalik fits in. He’s the biggest human on the field most plays.
Worthy dropped at least 3 balls that I can remember. I am all for giving Cook some of his reps. I know a lot of people here think you can't take him off the field but Cook is pretty explosive, and getting him some touches might be just as good.
As far as Murph goes he was fine. We didn't help him with the pass blocking. A lot of times the IOL was in his lap. You want him to step into throws? Clean up his pocket. The thing with Murph right now is he is just throwing the ball and believing his guy is going to win. That is going to cost you here and there, I expect that kind of stuff from a young guy. He will get better with time. He has the tools though.

We need a catch all thread where Steve can see our disapproval on either the play call, play design, or execution. I have been accused of being a sunshine pumper when it comes to one Steve Sarkisian and his playcalling. Well, I am here to tell you that my issue with him isn't the playcalling per se but the play design/execution, or the lack there of. We are 8 games in so we kind of know who can do what, who needs to be coached up on what, and what to stay away from. Now let me preface this by saying we have scored in the 30's in every game this year, so this isn't to say we are doing a bad job overall, just sometimes we have wtf moments.
Take this clip where Murphy throws the interception. I know ultimately Murph has to learn to eat this ball but let's take a moment to look at all the dumb-fuckery on this play. There is a lot so hold on. I will put the still up then the gif so you can see how the play unfolded.
This play is dead from the start. Pay attention to BYU's defensive tackles. They have a 3-tech DT between Banks and Conner in the B-gap, and a 1 tech DT in the A-gap between Campbell and Majors. The red lines indicate what gaps they are attacking. The blue lines represent what we are asking our O-line to do. We are going to ask our gimpy center to reach the 3 tech all the way in the B-gap, our RG Campbell to reach the LB firing in the A-gap, Our RT Jones to reach the 1-tech in the A-gap, our two TEs to double team the DE, and our LG Conner is going to pull all the way around to kick out the edge blitzer. Banks has his DE and Brooks is going to chip him to slow him down. You are asking a lot of un-athletic guys to cover a lot of ground and still handle a guy close to 300lbs, hell bent on getting to the QB. What could go wrong?
The ball is on the 41. To reach guys in other gaps you have to give ground. So by the time MM has the ball the LOS has been relocated 3 to 4 yards backwards. Everyone except Campbell and the TE double-team is losing their battle. This puts MM into panic mode and he is looking to escape. Problem is the edge blitzer is right there and Conner, having to come all the way across the formation, is taking awhile to get to him. Now everyone at the same time say WTF is Worthy doing? Worthy comes off the line looking for someone to block. Except there is no one releasing behind him. MM is looking at Worthy like he is supposed to be running a route. Worthy never looks back until the pick happens. I think MM is trying to throw this away in the direction of Worthy but never sees the guy underneath. Bigger question is why are we asking our O-line to do this? There is a better way to handle this kind of blitz if this is simple play action, and what the hell was the play call and what went wrong?
The same thing on the goal line when MM fumbled. I am not going to draw up everyone's responsibilities because its much like the play above. The important part is we are asking Conner to come all the way across the formation and kick out the DE. It looks like we are expecting the play-action to make the DE freeze, but they aren't abiding by the rules. This is the play we ran where Worthy comes across like motion or possible jet sweep but quickly pivots for a rail route. The play was wide open, but we failed to get to the DE and he ended up causing the fumble. It's to be noted that Brooks did a horrible job blocking. He basically got out of the way.
I get this is supposed to look like run and that's why we are blocking it this way but at some point we have to figure out a better way to block it. When we get down around the goal line we need to throw out the slow developing plays. Rep the hell out of a smaller section of quick hitting plays until we get good a running them and use those. I am all for being physical. We just need to commit to it.

This. I need to check the PFF numbers, but I don’t think we played the jumbo package, with Agbo at TE, at all against BYU. It’s been one of our most productive packages but I don’t think Sark wanted to put anymore of it on tape before Kansas St.
We ran it some, and I think we scored out of it.

Could've been the wheel to Brooks that was initially called a tuddy but got reviewed and put on the 2. Only thing i can think of.

I don't get paid millions to coach, but I kinda of understand the philosophy behind this.
"Sometimes the best way to get rid of any of the jitters that a guy might have is let him go play," Sarkisian said. "When I was a quarterback, my first time I went out there, give me some throws. Don't make me wait until it's third-and-9 and now I have to throw it to try to make a play."
That's because it's solid. Good post.

I'm more than happy to move on from Quinn. Dude has never been the answer and probably never will be. Him being out for the season and moving on to the draft probably advances this program in the right direction.
There has to be something personality wise you don't like about Quinn, because you are off the rails about this one. Maybe the Southlake doucheyness?
Everyone wants to see Murph successful, but he did nothing that Quinn hasn't done. He rifled a slant pass to AD that was impressive. The throw to AD deep was late. The throw that Sanders high-pointed and held onto through contact is the same throw he dropped and got picked off from QE during the OU game that would've been a TD. Tonite BYU loaded the box to stop the running game. QE gets those defensive looks and he throws for 350. We get the same defensive and special teams performance and we score 50. MM is going to be good down the road but he has a lot of work to do. Right now I just want the young fella to take care of the ball and make a couple "you better respect the passing game" throws when asked to. He can most definitely do that.

I’m not making any Malik vs Quinn argument. I’m making the argument that Quinn needs to play better
Quinn is fine. Our o-line needs to play better.

@Thatguy gracias! Normally, it’s a bunch of posters hating on me for being a chick. You and I disagree on certain things, but I’ve met you and you’re a cool guy and legit. You take a lot of crap to make your point and I do making my point but what’s cool is we know who we are and where we stand. You’re cool!
Yes. It was nice to put a face to the name and despite all the bullshit you are a solid poster. Keep at it and ignore the haters.

perhaps if he'd read the defense faster he wouldn't have been hit
Sanders whiffed on the block. QE never had a chance. Tonite we had a kickoff return for a TD and 3 takeaways and we still only put up the roughly the same points QE puts up when he is running the O.

Hahaha at you fucks expecting a guy with 8 passes to come out and light it up in his first start. He did what he needed to do. Bunch of fucking snowflakes around here. @Nicole44 has more testicular fortitude than most of yall.

quinn makes a lot of bad decisions and is slow to read the defense. one of those bad decisions is why he's injured.
You mean the bad decision where Sanders missed a block and Quinn got sacked and landed on his throwing shoulder?

imma's a Maalik fanboy. It's the old thing; backup QB is always the most popular player on the team.
I mean, I like the kid too but that was an awful take. lol

Maalik is far more confident over the middle of the field and in the pocket than Quinn. Long ball is tie. Ball security is a tie. Progression reads are slight Maalik favor because of his pocket presence, but early cuz byu sucks.
What? lol

Sanders made that great catch early in the game.... Just going over times our receivers have made a tough catch where they battled a defender this season.
Two times. The other was AD vs Bama.

Gotcha! We are 13th in the Big 12 through 7 weeks in RedZone TDs because of that. It’s brilliant! Sorry lolz
It's a good chance to see if your guy can run a pass play down there. BYU can't move the football. If that's OU that's different. Not all game situations are the same.
