  1. Cook drop hits both hands uncontested. Whitt drop on the screen uncontested. AD Mitchell drop uncontested. Only 2 of the 3 were contested.
  2. For real! People here should pay attention to how teams are playing us and what that says about what they think our weaknesses are. Teams are saying you can't play "take what the defense gives you" football, and go on a 12-15 play drive without shooting yourself in the foot somewhere along the way. We are going to have a procedural penalty. A drop. A bad throw. Or someone on the line is going to let a guy come completely unblocked at the worst time when we have a guy wide open in the end zone. This weekend we had multiple on the same drive to make sure we kill it. 1st series-We come right out and get a false start. Next play we throw a ball that's not at all perfect but hits X in the hands that he dropped. Would've been a 1st. Next play we throw the ball to AD that he dropped that would've been at least a manageable 3rd and we drop that too. 2nd series- We hit Krob for 16. We miss Sanders in the corner of the end zone. We get it to 3rd down and a rusher is completely unblocked on what otherwise would've been a TD throw. Ugh
  3. Number 2 Quinn has a D-lineman come completely unblocked so he just let it go off his back foot which is a bad habit Quinn has in general. His issue with his footwork is two fold. 1) Quinn has such a strong arm he hasn't really needed his feet to get the ball there. He can flick a ball with good velocity without ever even stepping into it. Which brings up to problem number 2. 2) His foot alignment doesn't always match his arm alignment. Think of it like a golf swing. Some people's swing path is aligned with the target but their feet are pointing somewhere else. Makes the ball do funny things. Case in point look at his feet when he overthrew Worthy here at the 57:17 point of the video. Feet are pointing north-south but throwing northeast. A 45 degree difference in the two doesn't help accuracy. Now, the ability to "Mahomes" the ball is what makes him special, but it should be an emergency thing he uses rather than the regular. He just needs to understand that he doesn't need to do it all the time and lean on proper feet/arm alignment and he will have less of these days in the future.
  4. Lol???? How many balls did Quinn throw that didn't hit receivers in the hands? My count is 5. Overthrow to Worthy. Three throws to Sanders. High throw to Whitt. Worthy dropped the RPO. AD dropped the slant. Helm dropped the pass up the sideline. Cook dropped the swing pass. Whit dropped a screen. That is 5 dropped passes that hit receivers in both hands. Now watch the teams we play. Who is dropping passes like that? How many passes did Bama's receivers drop? Milroe threw a ball so high the receiver landed on his head. No drop. Great receivers not only don't drop the ball consistently but they also win those 50/50 balls. The only player that has done that is Mitchell. Quinn struggles at times. We all see that. What I am saying is there are more factors than just "Quinn sucks".
  5. People on here are acting like Prime called in the death threats himself. This shit happens everywhere, but of course this means they are the new Miami Hurricanes of the 80's.....eyeroll gif
  6. Nah, bro. He is asking so he can see how you answer. It seems you like the "walk back to the huddle and do your job" kind of guys. No mention of anyone who has a big personality.
  7. You are looking at those after the ball has been thrown 1) Double slants but defender is sitting between both AD and Whitt. With either slant if he throws it ahead of them he will be leading them straight into a defender for a "Travis Hunter". Quinn throws it on AD's back shoulder, hits him in the hands, but AD drops it. Looks like he was expecting him to sit the route down. 2) This was a solid read Quinn just put too much air under it. Anytime he is going to get sacked he just throws what he sees developing early but with a lot of air under it. He did this a couple times during Rice. He needed to rifle this one in there but if he stands in there to make the throw he will get sacked before he can get rid of it. Banks followed the guy looping around to the inside and left the dude on the edge untouched. I can't see whether or not the LG had a man but if not Banks should've passed him off. 3) This one is subjective. Before the release of the ball the corner passes off Sanders and sits in his area. He is underneath the dig Whitt is running. If Quinn were to look there its likely the corner drifts backwards right into that throw. The throw only looks open once Quinn lets it go to Worthy. 4) This one is a misread but Sanders may not be open either. In my opinion, whoever this ball goes to is going to get popped by the same guy who is sitting over both routes. The routes they are running makes it easy for him to defend both options. Once again, we are only saying that Sanders was open because he looked open after Quinn already threw it. What really bothers me about each of these is they all could've been easily avoidable if we were using sight adjustments. We are shifting and motioning almost every play. That means these guys should know what they are looking at based on how the defense reacts to a simple motion man. As soon as you see that your route concepts should change. Instead of running a man beater/rub route like the one in the third example, we should be sitting in zones and letting Quinn deliver the football. You can see Sanders run his route at the slot defender as if he is trying to pick him. We need to get that shit fixed. It's not hard at all, and our lack of adjustments against the looks we are getting is why we struggle. That last frame doesn't look like Tampa 2. It looks like the same 3 high we always struggle against. Tampa 2 usually the MB carries the deep middle. Anyway, if both receiver and QB understand what they are looking at they would know that Sanders is going to get passed off and become the safety's responsibility, and that area in the middle of the field in front of the safety is wide open. A dig there would be open. Instead Sanders runs a lazy vertical route 6 yards apart of Helm. All the safety has to do is position himself in the middle.
  8. I don't know why you guys are trying to reason with me. Try reasoning with Sanders. He is the one who applied for the job and didn't get it.
  9. I agree but that's not how he feels about it. You do a lot for the U and then when you need something from them the door slams in your face. Unless you are VY.
  10. Yeah, Charles once clocked bottom 10's in the 100. Charles was track fast that actually translated to football. Worthy is fast though.
  11. I look at things a little differently. If I got snubbed for the job at my Alma Mater I might be a little pissed off too. This isn't a new thing, just one of the highest profile people to do it. There have always been guys taking shots at their old college when they got a chance. If you remember a lot of guys would never say what college they went to when they did the Sunday night football lineups, they would instead say their high school. All Prime is doing is recreating the USC experience under Pete Carroll. He understands what kids want and how to get kids interested and its working. Stadium is packed. Stars on the sideline. Lil Wayne doing the intro. Our dumb asses up til 2am watching a CU vs CSU game. What 18 yr old doesn't want to play in that environment. The crazy part is there is still no real pressure to win because they only won one game last yr. Sure, everyone is now moving the goalposts with every win, but all he needs to do is get bowl eligible. It's genius and I can appreciate what he is trying to do.
  12. My bad Slorch. You too. I almost forgot you are Tech since y'all been trash for longer than us.
  13. All that would be valid if Chewy hadn't been here already for years to the tune of 5k posts. What makes this board great is it has drawn fans/alum from all over. @aggie08 is a solid poster. @Sbbruin is too. We have people from everywhere and it keeps the conversation interesting. Its not just a Longhorn echo chamber.
  14. Now you don't go getting uppity boy. Know your place.
  15. Agree 100%. They are just running their route instead of breaking it off and sitting in the open spot. A lot of people here don't seem to understand those are sight adjustments that are supposed to happen. Couple that with outright drops and you have what you have. Quinn's biggest technical problem is he doesn't like to get hit. So he won't stand there in the face of a free rusher and make a throw. He is always retreating in some way(throw off back foot). Teams know this and try to get Blitzers up the middle to affect him. He needs to get that sorted. I will have to go listen to the presser.
  16. Weird that you wrote this post in a thread called "Colorado vs Colorado State-ABC". Seems you care enough to be up past bedtime posting in a thread that has shit all to do with Texas or anyone we play actually.
  17. Wait- kid has thrown for 1261 yards at a 70% clip with 10 TDs vs just 1 pick and you don't think he should be in the conversation?
  18. Some of what you are seeing isn't what you think you are seeing. Those throws "behind the receiver" early were window throws against zone coverage. Receivers are running routes as if they are going against man. Quin is throwing the ball in the window. If he leads them its either picked or they get their clock cleaned. Most likely they are supposed to recognize the coverage and sit down in it. Did he have some bad throws? Yes, but not everything is what it appears to be. We have struggled against the type of defense since Sark has been here. We have to get it sorted.
