Texas O-line talk
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.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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.

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.

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?

When did he look amazing last year? Seriously?

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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.

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.

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.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
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.

You can handle it big dawg.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
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.

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

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.

What is it you think Sark did different from last game to this game?
-
Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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.

We are 6-0 with Ewers and yall are still complaining he cannot hit the deep ball.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Bro. I honestly think this dude just doesn't know the plays bro. Lol. It seems obvious to me. Anything that dude can see or truly knows, like a deep ball, he is accurate as hell. He is accurate when its scramble drill time. He is only inaccurate when its in the confines of the offense. Anyone who played sports knew a guy who didnt have the plays down. Whether it was he didnt study or was plane just dumb. I honestly this Arch just doesn't know the plays and therefore plays with zero anticipation.

Here is the thing bro. I dont think its all that serious. I will post what I think it is in another post in a second.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Hard to remember that far back but I do remember his routes he threw to being high schoolish. You are right though. Certain routes need to be off the table. Maybe revisit it when his processing picks up but right now....nay

Roma, the dude is late on everything. He is late on his reads. He is late on coming off his reads. He is late on his incompletions and he is late on his completions. He is just late. Everything is so slow, and a large part as to why the O-line looks the way it does. Blitzes and rushes that should never get home get there because he cannot get the ball out. For example, the play where he got sacked trying to throw to Livingstone coming across the formation, Parker was open on the break and Arch waiting until he was well past the center to throw it. If he throws it right away the rush never gets there and Parker is running for a 1st down. Its like he doesn't have the plays memorized and it just out there throwing to whatever he sees open like back yard football. There is zero pre snap recognition for what should be open. Its all just wait and see.

I think you are 100% correct on your observation. But where do you go from here is the question?
-
Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
They had the box loaded up pretty good so I think Sark was simply playing the numbers. I dont think he truly has let it sink in that he just can't run the offense the way he wants to. He has to dust off his ole Jake Locker playbook. Spread. Rudimentary route combos. Run and run some more even with the QB. That is what Ole Miss is doing. I think he's had so much success that he expects his players to simply adapt to him and not the other way around. Its clear Arch cannot run his offense. So let's find out what he can run.

You are 100% correct and most of Surly just doesn't see it. Good screens require good timing. Don't look over there until its time. Accurate ball placement gives the runner a chance to make someone miss. We seem to look and throw too soon or throw something requiring an adjustment and thereby killing momentum.
