  1. No, you sir, are the idiot. Go watch the play in motion again. The safety starts out moving towards Wingo but when he realizes Manning isn't looking there he stops. I am not sure if you are athletic at all or played ball with any high level athletes, but they cover ground really fast. That safety probably runs a 4.4 40. There are 6-7 yards between him and Wingo. That ball needs to travel 15 yards at that angle. He will get there when Wingo catches that ball. You see the reason why Ohio State was number one in the country defensively last year isn't because they called magic plays on defense, it's because they had bigger, faster players. They were the stingiest team in the country in the red zone for a reason. Because they can close on plays like these and dislodge the football. Later we are going to run this same play vs MSU or UTEP and Parker Livingstone is going to be open by a mile on the break, and Wingo will walk into the EZ on that rub. But on this day Livingstone was getting his pockets checked the whole way through his route and Wingo would've gotten hit as soon as he caught the football. The only way that doesn't happen is if Manning throws it as soon as the rub happens, but he smartly waits to see if it's man or zone since Ohio State fooled him earlier in the game.
  2. I am sure it was but he had a better opportunity. The problem here is you guys are judging in hindsight. The secondary can see where Arch is looking and therefore reacted to the outside throw the way they did. Now let him have turned his eyes toward Wingo and watch how fast that safety closes down on that throw.
  3. Riiiigggghhhhhtttt......A clean throw to the outside vs a throw over the middle in traffic? This isn't fucking UTEP. That's Ohio State. Test that if you want to. Good chance Wingo comes away unconscious.
  4. That's not the read. The read is the one he chose. You have to give that a look as soon as you see your WR win against the leverage upon release. He wins to the outside with an outside breaking route. What Arch didn't count on is the shitty route running by Parker, who just rounded that route off, allowing Igbinosun to stay in his hip pocket. He needs to stem to create separation there and that's a TD. He must be emulating Wingo and his shitty route running.
  5. Geezus Derka. Arch played a decent amount of snaps last year and all the things you saw against Ohio State were available for you last year as well. The throwing late. The inaccuracy. The throwing into double coverage. It was all there. Some of us were trying to tell you, but no, you went all in on the idea that Arch must've been on the bench due to some tinfoil hat loyalty to Ewers. When my own opinion was challenged I even put together some clips to point out those shortcomings which was met with vitriol and hatred, but now you are seeing what I saw. Arch will get better but he was not quite ready for the bigtime. I am sure he will go for 480 and 5 TDs this week and all will be good, but we need him to be better vs the OSU's and Georgia's of the world.
  6. Correct. Arch wasn't as much bad on reads as he was late or inaccurate. He gets a pass on this play.
  7. I know a little too much about Pimphand
  8. I will never understand these MAGA cunts. Celebrating as their country crumbles around them because the other side is unhappy. It's like two people getting in a car crash. Both cars are totaled. Yet you crawl out laughing because the other guy is Bob the accountant. Last year he fucked your wife and she left you. No matter how much you laugh you still have to deal with your insurance and the totaled car. Just like Bob does. And Bob is still fucking your wife.
  9. He's not open. A lot of bad can happen if you throw that ball. A couple years back Ewers threw that ball to Sanders. He got hit and the ball came out and up in the air. INT. Worse yet your number 1 receiver is out a couple games.
  10. They ran the same scheme they ran last year, an inverted Tampa 2. The extra pressure they got last year was organic. They didn't have to blitz. They were stouter against the run.
  11. If you understood it perfectly then why are you still talking about it? That particular route combo is timed so the deep post can clear out space for a route across the field underneath. A QB surveying the field is going to use the deep defenders to determine what to do. If opposing defenses are so locked in that they are rolling to the perfect defense for it post snap then it is on the play designer to have a counter for that. We've been running that combo for 3 years and I have yet to see something designed off that action that would tell me we are self=scouting well enough. Almost every team we play defends us with some variation of roughly the same defense. In this case Ohio State ran their signature inverted Tampa 2. A defense we saw last year but we had nothing different for it in the passing game. So yes, while a QB should know that he is going to get what is basically Cover 3 from OSU, the coach should stop letting his QB get fooled by the same defensive schemes over and over.
  12. It makes perfect sense. Go watch the play where he threw deep into double coverage. He is seeing a single safety in the middle of the field but in reality that corner is responsible for deep. He is playing up because there is a route developing short. However he is smart and as soon as he recognizes the the route combo he grabs depth and cuts off the route. Manning didn't recognize the coverage. So he thought he had him open as there is no way that safety would be able to keep up Wingo coming across his face. This has happened to us many times in the past because we dont run a lot of route combos we just do it from a myriad of formations.
  13. Last year he was doing the same thing with that exact same route combo. Sark runs the deep post with a route underneath and trailing. Most times its a 15 yard dig. It's meant to put the defense in limbo, but teams run the flyover or cover three on us and our QBs think the post is going to be open because opponents are pattern matching, but smart defenses know how to hand routes off. The jig is up on us. Everyone knows how to handle what we do. We need to make some changes or it's going to be a long year. If you were objectively watching him play last year none of this should be a surprise.
  14. We lost to them last year because they were better off the edge than we were. If you trade their D-line with ours we go home with the trophy. Will Howard sat back and patted the football three times before getting rid of it. You guys talk about our talent but we weren't that talented where it matters. We had one decent edge guy, a rb who couldn't break arm tackles, and one receiver. I was told that Wingo was being held back by Ewers. The guy I saw yesterday was the same ole Wingo, losing physical battles with lesser defenders. Meanwhile I watched number 4 create his own separation. Great receivers don't allow themselves to be manhandled.
  15. We weren't as good as Ohio State from a roster standpoint. Ohio State is the gold standard. They were literally better than us at every level except QB. Teams like them and Georgia have been collecting top level talent for years. It isn't really that hard. We lost to who we were supposed to lose to if you look at it realistically. In 2023 we had no pass rush and so we lost to the two teams where lacking those things was going to hurt you the most. Last year WE lost to the only two teams we played with elite pass rushes who could simultaneously shut down our run game. Everyone else had a flaw that got exposed except those two. You can have 85 NFL level NTs but that really isn't going to help you against Penix or Gabriel. Just the same if you look at the OSU game from last year we couldn't get to Howard at all. Same thing happened today. We have holes on this team that really hurt us against quality opponents. Those holes have shown up consistently and they really don't care about our draft count.
  16. We had three skill position guys drafted. Our offense wasn't some juggernaut. Meanwhile look at the OSU offense. None of the top teams would trade their skill guys for ours.
  17. That's a shame
  18. This guy has resorted to quoting himself. Damn
  19. Not sure you noticed but we Bond was missing most of the season. We basically had Golden and Tre Wisner. Some of you have to get past this ide we were loaded offensively. We were not.
  20. This isn't true. That's why 3 high has worked so well against us because our receivers just keep running and their secondary can just hand them right off to the next guy. That's what happened on the double coverage throw to Wingo. Downs, playing the inverted Tampa, ball hawk roll, took him when he passed into his 3rd and then the boundary corner picked him up when he crossed into his zone. This has always been a problem in Sark's offense here at Texas.
  21. Alright. Just taking an unnecessary jab. You got me. lol
  22. He got a pass picked attacking the deep sideline today.
  23. Not the same defense my guy. Those two nightmare DEs they had are gone. Arch had a ton of time to throw. We didn't whiff on a single block on pass pro. Even with all that pass rush QE still threw for almost 3 hundo and two tuddys. Arch will get his shit together but you "we lost the NC because Arch wasn't playing" guys need to eat crow.
  24. Yeah, we have to make it easy on him. I am of the camp that thinks we make offense hard at times so we are in agreement.
  25. Yes. I tried to point that out last year but we were too busy hating on Ewers to hear it. Other teams have high completion percentages because their receiver run out and sit down in empty zones creating stationary throws. Sark doesn't like stationary targets and thus lower completion percentages. He needs to draw up more stationary targets and help his qb out. It's not hard.
