  1. A man tattles on his interests when he posts this pic in this stance.
  2. So a question for my comrades. Why is it so much fun watching aggy lose? I mean, it's a better feeling than it should be.
  3. Still the same. That's why you get comments like 5 star culture and what not. They still get up tp play us. Take this game for example. Last week OSU receivers were catching everything. Now look at all the drops today.
  4. No one is going to roll over for us like they do for the no names. Everyone's best punch.
  5. Pass rush. That's what that looks like.
  6. They are dropping wide open passes. None of that last week.
  7. Like @Codaxx said, that's the worst pass pro we've played all year. Meaning that's the most legitimate pressure any Texas QB has been under this season. Real pressure. Not pat it a couple times waiting to get open and someone finally comes free. I mean, the guy never touched the dude or barely slowed him down and by the time QE hits his back foot the dude is a couple steps from you, kind of pressure. OSU has a legit D-line and the only loss they have is vs a team with a real athlete at QB.
  8. Like I said to Cman, in the second half there was a lot of stuff that happened that wasn't about QE. But if you pull Quinn then you start a QB controversy whether you want to or not. You also further hurt the confidence of your player. Jmo
  9. It's just as disingenuous to put it all on Ewers. Runs for 50 yards and a holding call brings it back. Hits worthy for a TD and he falls. Other stupid penalties putting us behind the chains. Auburn missing a kick. Sanders letting the pass go through his hands for the interception. The list goes on. Now as far as Card goes, we don't know if he has settled down vs aggressive pass rushes until we see him vs one. Bama wasn't abusing our line like OSU was.
  10. It's hyperbole buy you get the point. Your backup's skillset had to vote into the calculation too. They were in the pocket all day, so as a HC you ask yourself what the other guy would do differently that would make the situation better. You don't just toss him out there and hope he does better.
  11. You don't know what's catchable until you try. So say the kid goes all out for every ball in the video and catches two of them? We are playing a different ball game. But I am under the impression that with his athletic ability he can get hands on them. If the guy that picked the pass off caught it in front of his facemask with his feet about 8 inches off the ground then Worthy, who is 3 yards in front of him, could've touched it. That ball was on a rope, so it was probably 9 feet. Regardless, the kid isn't giving effort and he is the best player at his position so no wonder guys like Cain are out there loafing too.
  12. Man I hear what you are saying, but you have to work with what YOU have not an ideology. It's like if Bryce Young is having a rough day. Do you bring in Jalen Milroe? No. You know he is not capable of doing what you need done. With us we have a QB that is struggling because we can't block their D-line and its affecting him. So we bring in the guy who is worse when facing line pressure? Doesn't make sense at all. Did you see him last year vs Arkansas and did you see him last year vs ISU? This is his 3rd year in the program. We pretty much know what we have there.
  13. We ran different shit and it didn't work. We tried to hit on deep passes, intermediate passes, shallow crosses, slants, screens, and floods. We tried to run counter, oz, inside z, and unbalanced. The problem was in the beginning OSU respected Quinn, but then when they saw they could get to him they started playing all the short stuff tight and brought a couple more bodies in the run game. That's why they almost housed two short passes from jumping routes. They knew they could because QE only had a certain amount of time to get the ball out.
  14. You jump higher with a start than you do just standing, but I digress. So let me get this straight. You look at Worthy not making an effort to jump or even put his hands up on these throws and you shrug your shoulders at that? Is it your position that a world class athlete cannot react fast enough to jump for one of these balls and get his hands up when the lesser athlete who picked it off both jumped and got HIS hands up? The guy simply wasn't trying hard. They call it catch radius for a reason.
  15. Correct. This is what a freshman who has gotten by on pure athleticism looks like. They have to fail and fail miserably before they will start to listen to reason, because up until now they've always gotten by simply by being able to makeup the bad technique with pure athleticism. I went through that with my daughter at the end of last vball season. You would tell her something and she would go out there and do what she wanted. From the outside it looks like the coaches don't recognize it, but from the inside they keep making the same mistake after being told over and over. A kid like that you would normally sit but we are so thin we can't afford to sit him. sigh
  16. Word is J-Whitt was playing hurt, so maybe that's why they didn't go to him more. Maybe he is having trouble shaking his man. It's hard to tell without the shot of the play. I for one would give Whit a look.
  17. Before you guys watch this video I just want you to have in mind that this Worthy kid is an uber athlete. Kids who run like that also have a 40 inch vertical. Which means at 6ft if you throw a pass 3 feet over his head he can still catch it. Yet this man will NOT put his hands above his head nor will he really explode off the ground to get something. His effort level was terrible on Sat and I hope this video finds its way to him. He is just trotting around out there, not even running after the man who intercepted it. The catch vs Bama shows what he can do when he really tries. Its embarrassing.
  18. Thank you for correcting my typing. That's what happens when you type at 4am. He actually is slightly shaded to the inside if you look at his outside foot and draw a line to the receiver's inside foot. The problem is he waits til the receiver makes his break to even move instead of reinforcing his leverage by taking an inside and back step with his left foot. He lost at the snap of the ball thereby giving up an easy completion. This is an example for anyone here who keeps banging the "but we have more talent than them" drum. There is potential talent and there is usable talent. For example. There are athletes that aren't overly physically gifted but just busted their ass honing their technique and found a way to get a D1 scholarship. Then there are the kids who graded well above average physically but just out-talented everyone in high school. We get the latter and lesser schools get the former. So a lot of the time their kids can come in and contribute right away, as well as they don't lose as many kids to the league or portal.
  19. Yes. Meaning they didn't get to him and he was slinging it all over prior to when they finally did get to him. We have to realize that these kids watch film. He saw the pressure that OSU has been getting on teams before he even stepped foot on the field. Maybe he was already antsy.
  20. On both occasions the LB let's him inside on the release regardless of what the LB is doing. Head scratcher for sure.
  21. Bama didn't get pressure on him all game. OSU did. That's the difference. Sometimes we are looking for a complicated answer when it's simple. OSU is the only team to get to him consistently this season.
  22. Last year he lost the starting job. Then he lost the QB battle this year two when he had a year in Sark's system and Quinn was coming in fresh. Floyd never suited up for Texas but we did waste a scholarship spot on him. My point is that we don't have the talent that everyone thinks we do.
