  1. You can't just turn and throw. Jesus. You have to turn. Identify your keys. Then throw. Those keys are where the DB/LB is and then you need a throwing lane. I know it seems wide open to you sitting in your God chair, but these are 6'5 guys you are throwing over, not middle school kids. You have to throw around people. You especially have to throw around the free rushing DE. Usually when you are running a rpo you belly the ball WHILE looking for those keys and decide whether to pull it and throw the slant based on what they do. He had his back to the defense, so he has to turn, identify, then throw. I get it. Was it the perfect play call? No. But I also understand why he ran it. He ran it to that side because those guys are the best at running those kinds of plays. He had his two best blockers over there to cave in the pursuit. We call a lot of different shit in the second half and it doesn't work because WE can't execute. We drew up a wide open X and he dropped it vs OSU. We hit Sanders over the middle on a well drawn up play and he let the ball go through his hands and get picked. We have a ton of second half penalties killing drives. We fumble. We allow free rushers when we have a man wide open on rail routes. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot no matter what Sark draws up. That's how I see it. People here simply complain about the call no matter what.
  2. Come on guys. As soon as the ball comes up these guys will retreat looking for the passing lane. To throw this slant you have to wait for the break inside and throw it inside of the free rushing DE. The lane you think is there may not be there 10 steps from now. Nor might Ewers even be able to get it off in time before the DE is on him. It's a dangerous throw. Over a lot of athletic people.
  3. Not sure why I said Worthy. My bad. I need sleep. lol
  4. We can't pattern match or pass off receivers. All you have to do is bunch your receivers and flood a zone and we fold. Hard to watch.
  5. I just wanted to point out that there is no way a QB should be 6th on our list but damn there he is.
  6. My guy, that is after the toss, so people are already flying to the ball. Now I want you to look at the action pic and tell me what the backside DE would do if it was pass? He is either going to destroy Ewers, deflect the pass attempt, or at the very least alter the pass. But on to the play. As I said, if Sanders recognizes the DB is the new edge and gets him turned inside then Jones and Hutson are coming around the corner free to punish the defenders scraping over top. Whitt is already pinning the outside linebacker inside. However, because they didn't handle the edge the pulling linemen got stacked up inside. Simple case of bad execution, something we've done late in games no matter the call.
  7. Bad job of defending our coaching? If you guys think a true freshman is supposed to come in here and contribute at a high level then I have some ocean front property in........
  8. Your counting is off. Hutson, Jones, Whitt, Sanders, and Worthy are all blocking that side. Once they set the edge the rest don't matter. If Sanders blocks that inside and then you can see Whitt is blocking down as well, the two pulling linemen are going to create enough muck to give Bijan an alley. The reason it all goes to shit is because they didn't recognize the DB as the new edge. Get his outside shoulder and Bijan is picking up the first. Simple as that. Everyone else is just chasing, and not going to get there before Bijan gets 4. If you are a playcaller in THAT situation with THESE players you cannot drop back and throw it. Ewers is going to go for all the marbles. He is a gambler and loves the big play like a lot of young guys do. Who do you trust to make a play? Sanders and Worthy have dropped game winning balls on you before. Whitt is a gamble on getting open. Even so they are coming pass or run, and you won't have a lot of time to wait for something to develop. Your surest bet is to get the ball as safely as you can in your best player's hands with your best blockers blocking. So you draw up a play with Sanders and Whitt as the key blockers that would isolate your best player in space. You say it was a dumb call because it didn't work, but then again all of you have said every call that didn't work was a dumb playcall as I stated. Sark is coming out and throwing the sink at teams but then once they've seen everything and adjusted its about player execution. That's where we faulter.
  9. Talent only matters if they know what they are doing. My daughter's vball team wipes the floor with all the inner city vball teams like 25-6. Why? They are all seasoned club vets. Training and experience matter. However, you give the same training and experience to that 6-2 inner city athlete and they are getting recruited by Texas.
  10. You guys are hilarious. Last game OSU loaded the box. We threw it and dropped it. You guys were all over the coach about not running the damn ball even though they had the box loaded. Fast forward and the coach runs the damn ball, just like you asked, and you are now pissed because he didn't throw it. So basically if he makes a call and it doesn't work it was a bad call according to you folks. Just blows my mind. Now let's talk about the play. You have 8 in the box and your idea is to throw a slant into the teeth of that with a freshman QB and a 160lb receiver? You saw the hit and subsequent fumble earlier in the game on Worthy right? And that's if he even tries to catch it. Let's get into the play call. The picture you put up doesn't show the whole deal. We have 6 blockers to the boundary. You can't see Sanders but he is over there. If blocked correctly you get Bijan in space against a DB who is just as far off the LOS as he is. The middle to left side of their defense doesn't matter. This is pin and pull. You set the edge and pull blockers out in front of Bijan. Everyone behind the play has no chance and the toss ensures that. If we block it right its a great call and could potentially get housed. However, no one accounts for the blitzing DB and he and he alone blows up the play. I am not sure who was at fault, but it wasn't blocked well. Chalk that up to an inexperienced line. There are rules for what people are supposed to do if they are covered vs uncovered in pin and pull. Once the DB spun down and became the new edge the blocking rules changed......but our line didn't recognize it and adjust. Everything that isn't executed well looks like a bad play call. Welcome to 2022.
  11. We are tied for 63rd in sacks. That's the stat that matters.
  12. Not the same team. Page me when Max Johnson has a team 7-2. What's funny about @lilMAC25 sucking Brian Kelly's dick is that they are only one game better than us and our starting QB was out for 2 of our 3 losses.
  13. If we had a pass rush none of this would be a concern. We would get up on teams early and then sack and turn them over. The lack of pass rush is the real problem.
  14. They have different personnel than when the Ogre was there. However, you know what's really funny? Ed Orgeron went 15-0 in the SEC and you make it seem like it's unthinkable that he could win again.
  15. Also do remember who was quarterbacking them and who is now?
  16. I saw the number 4 come flying in. Didn't see the 1. Losers never get those balls. Against OSU we had about 3balls hit DBs and none could come down with them. Those kinds of plays are the plays that winning teams make consistently. Look at our season. We had a chance to make a play or two like that every game this year. The missed sack vs Bama. All the plays missed vs Tech. Dropped balls on both side of the ball vs OSU. Then tonight we were at it again. We fumbled two balls and lost them, while causing two of our own and not recovering them. Finally someone made a play. That's what it takes to finally break out of losing. If we just made a couple more plays right now we would be undefeated.
  17. It sure can. In 2019 those guys were the young guys. Now they've grown up. They still have confidence of knowing they can do it. They just had to learn a new system. Meanwhile our guys have ALWAYS been failures, losing cl9se games dating back to that very same LSU team that we are speaking of. So when they get in tight games they draw on the times they've lost as opposed to being able to draw on positive experiences like those LSU players. Did you ever play sports? You seem to not understand that concept. No children that play sports? You can see it happening. No matter the call everything seems to go wrong. The ball seems to always bounce the wrong way. That's where we are. In those moments it's almost like we are cursed and no matter what we do doomed to fail. Those moments happen every game and we don't have the on field leadership to pull us out of it.
  18. There are 10-15 guys that have championship rings on that team. That leadership is huge. Their upperclassmen won a championship. Our upperclassmen are perennial losers. Players are not robots. Confidence matters. Having older guys to lean on is huge for young guys. We have none. Today was a fine example. Upperclassman Rojo fumbles going in. Upperclassman Jamison tries to pick the football up instead of falling on it. Upperclassman Sweat knocks his own player off the fumble recovery. KC made a play and it took some freshman named Austin Jordan to finally fall on the got-damned football.
  19. Big difference between a team a couple years removed from winning it all and a team who hasn't had real success since 2009. But we are Texas right? Lol. I swear you love to be miserable.
  20. What happens when you have 9 guys in the box and you drop back to pass on a critical 3rd down? Let me answer for you. A free rusher on a slow developing crossing route. Ball has to come out fast and there is a lot of traffic across the middle so that's not an option.
  21. They do. Ewers takes the deep option instead. He is a freshman who believes in his arm.
  22. When you have 9 in the box you pitch it outside the tackle box and tell your RT to block inside so Bijan can get outside vs DBs. All Jones has to do there is invite the rusher inside and Bijan walks to a first down. Like I said, players here make mental mistakes at the end of the game. We ran the same play and got big yards earlier when they stacked the box, but you must not have seen it.
  23. It hasn't mattered what we've called in the end of games. Our guys play tight because they aren't used to winning/don't believe they can. Someone always makes a crucial mistake or doesn't make a play when someone needs to make one. Again tonight we start making mental mistakes in the second half. Penalties galore on both sides of the ball. Fumble. Inability to get on their fumbles. Missed blocks. On the 3rd and 2 call Bijan has to hit the hole hard. Instead he stops and looks for a hole and gets hit in the backfield. When you are losing like we do by struggling in the second half it takes someone to finally make a play. Loser teams fold at the end. It's what they do. Someone has to finally bow their back and say enough is enough. This could be the game that breaks us through. We will see.
