  1. After rewatching I'm feeling a lot better about how close this offense is to being very good. Arch settled in and started showing command in the 4th, and throughout the game he showed a nice understanding of coverage. He just made the wrong read a few times and had bad mechanics making a bad throw too many times. But he knows where to go with the ball. And there were 4 or 5 times where he makes ridiculous throws. It'll just be about tightening it up and learning to control the adrenaline in pressure moments. On the TD play he does a fantastic job. He recognizes he has man across the formation, and motions the back in to max protect. He knows he'll have Livingstone 1 on 1 if he can look off the safety, but he'll need the time. Great recognition. He looks the safety off left then makes an NFL quality throw and Livingstone fights off the DB for position and the TD. Screen_Recording_20250903_003429_YouTube~2.mp4 This one was earlier at the beginning of the TD drive. Once again he checks to keep the back in for max protection. He reads zone, possibly single high, but he does a fantastic job manipulating the safety. First, he identifies the safety bailing out to cover middle. Then he looks the safety over before snapping back to Wingo and delivering a strike where the safety vacated. Great recognition and throw. Screen_Recording_20250903_005211_YouTube~3.mp4 This was the best throw of the game by either QB. It's a 3 x 1 vert with the slot running a post or seam (wasn't the best route), Wingo wide running a deep seam, and Endries running the wheel under it. OSU DBs play this very well, notice at the snap Arch reads the half field safety to that side turn and bail deep. At the beginning of the progression Arch sees the corner sink onto the wheel, which makes that wheel a very tight throw to fit in under the deep safety. He said "fuck it, I'm Arch Manning" and throws a got damn laser from the wide hash to the opposite sideline on the fucking money. Not many QBs can do that. That's shit that will keep DCs cursing at their screen in film review once this guy puts it all together. I did not appreciate this throw 10% as much watching it live as I did on review. Screen_Recording_20250903_010526_YouTube~2.mp4 We all know later in that drive he misses the throw to Wingo and that was the shot to get the game tied. That's the consistency factor that needs to be overcome in this next month to take the offense to the next level. The line can play. The receivers can play. Endries can make tough catches. Baxter and Wisner are plus pass blockers and get you what is blocked, but hopefully Clark can show he can be a back that can juke a safety or corner and get you extra. This offense is close, but still just a bit doughy in the middle and needs a little more time to bake. We'll get there.
  2. Can't completely answer that here, but those people are no longer in football. Once they do that stuff and get caught they're gone. There's morons that find joe rogan entertaining as well.
  3. Can't think of a worse piece of shit in football. Some are up there with him, but damn is this guy a giant piece of shit
  4. This should be a make or break year for Milwee. If Sark is really listening to him and cares as much as he says about getting a title. Milwee should be the first guy pushing on Sark to change up the calls and not be so predictable with route concepts. I think Arch will be fine, he didnt look anything like that on his snaps last season. Dude was just too hyped then once he started with that bad pass to start the game he snowballed into collapse.
  5. You have to be very careful about clips showing a receiver running free late in the route. Most of the time the ball is out and the defense is rallying to it. From what I've watched I didn't see him free much when tbe QB still had the chance to read his way
  6. They did some disguising, but nothing too crazy. Whatever they showed pre-snap turned into cover 3 60 percent of the time. Arch was just phased by the environment and wasn't trusting his line or his process. The other problem is Sark was too predictable early and really didnt fully adjust to the cover 3 until the 2nd half. He needs to switch up what he comes in with to start games. Good defenses have him scouted and bagged. If you want to see something he could do, watch the film breakdowns of FSU. They used the threat of Castellanos running along with jet action or some type of horizontal threat to keep Alabama's LBs guessing. That's the shit we need to see incorporated into what Sark already wants to do. Now, if you want to feel better about what we have, that film of the Alabam defense will do it. Whatever was coached into them by Saban is gone in 18 months time. Poor gap responsibility, LBs and DBs guessing, not setting the boundary to force the ball into help. You name it, they fucked it up that game. I don't know who DeBoer brought as his DC, but if this keeps up he better fire that mofo and go get some old Saban dudes back or he's going to be cooked.
  7. Of course he lied. So what? That's required in this game. Dak lied to get his extension, started talking about being in a different uniform. What you're missing is greed is the culture set in the organization by the Joneses. Winning on the field isn't important and the players know that. Making money off the field is their idea of winning. So why wouldn't the players follow suit? And how in the hell could you blame them for trying to milk every penny they can out of this organization? You need to take your head out of Jerry's ass and see the reality of this organization
  8. And you think the Jones family wants to take a penny less than the maximum they believe they can rape you to get?
  9. So did dipshit actually make an appearance? Or was it announcing meaningless space force bullshit by CGI?
  10. GTFO with that teeny bopper garbage. This occasion calls for the Godfather
  11. Niblett just seems like a dude with speed who sucks at football. At this point I think he's pretty much useless. Probably need to swap Littleton and Jaylon G and see if he handles that corner spot as well as he handled nickel this game.
  12. Watch the film breakdown. WRs were not the problem. When the safeties are literally sitting and positioning pre snap to take away the crossing route they know is coming against the grain? That's a scheme issue. That's being too damn predictable and not throwing enough sliders to get people off your fastball. Their players knew time and time again, from the very first snap of the game, where to position themselves to attack what was coming. The same concept of running clear out routes to have someone from the back side cross in against the grain. He even pointed out that every first snap of the game Arch has taken at Texas has been the same play. And OSU sat on it.
  13. No offensive line is going to win in goal line when the defense knows exactly what play set is coming. OSU had zero doubt Sark was going to run it inside 4 straight times from the 6. They sat on it. Day at least gave Texas different formations and looks with a credible threat to roll out the QB in goal line, and it still took them 4 downs to get it in. That problem isn't the line. It's Sark being too damn stubborn. Scheme to win the snap, not to make a statement.
  14. Exactly, if he thinks our Oline got dominated that badly, how would he describe the OSU Oline? In contrast, Day should be downright panicking that his offensive line sucks big chocolate salty balls after getting stuffed for barely over 2 yds a rush by a defense having to scheme to defend a great receiver unit.
  15. No one will go into the first snap at Florida confident in what we'll see. But this offense desperately needs this next month to go back to the drawing board and get their shit together. It's like a 2nd chance at a fall camp after another top tier program just exposed your offense. Sark needs to look in the mirror and realize defenses are sitting on all of his stuff. Most don't have the talent level to completely stuff it, but people we have to beat to get a title like Georgia and OSU do.
  16. I didn't make a comment on the quality of the throw
  17. Jesus Christ these 9.95 cunts like to exaggerate to stir up the fan base. The line was nowhere near that bad. Even in a dominating performance there will always be instances where an individual gets beaten on a given play on the line. On the whole, the line got a push against another top tier program, opened plenty of holes, and kept Arch clean for enough time to make plays. Arch was just too out of sorts to make them. The running backs not making anyone miss is a much bigger issue. A Bijan or even Brooks runs for 200+ with the defensive front and blocking they saw in that game. Any game against a top tier program will have wins and losses at every position during the game. In both Rose Bowls we had plenty of individual losses. Same as all 4 playoff games we're 2-2 in. I'm getting really sick of these people like Burton and this jackass blowing shit out of proportion just to make money off our team. Accurate reporting should be expected, and that was not an accurate assessment.
  18. Stewart Mandell is one of the biggest morons in an industry filled with morons. I don't remember a single bad drop from a receiver. I remember Arch throwing behind or way out in front, or worm burning it. The only one that could have been reasonably caught but wasn't was Livingstone in tbe end zone, but that wasn't a drop. It was a difficult play to make trying to pull the ball off the top of the turf.
  19. If you want to get an idea of the tape on that performance. From his viewing of the All 22 and game film it seems the problems were Arch's uncharacteristic poor mechanics, Arch pressing and not processing and releasing quick enough, and Sark being way too damn predictable. Last season after Georgia stomped the offense in Austin several Georgia players said they knew what was coming based on film. This makes it clear OSU knew the same things. If Sark doesn't start changing things up a lot more, and putting in things to punish teams for sitting on his normal stuff, this offense will struggle against well coached defenses with top level talent.
  20. We need to talk about Parliament literally fucking his own face
  21. Not surprising. We won the trenches battle on both lines. We were the tougher team. We lost because our QB couldn't complete passes and we stupidly tried to battering ram it in from the 1 with the most predictable calls ever that OSU was sitting on.
  22. Young and sitting on the bench. I think the first thing that needs to be tried is Clark. It's fine to have one of Baxter or Wisner getting big carries, but not both in the same game. Clark reportedly has a lot of that Bijan style burst and quickness/elusiveness to his game. If so, we need it from that position. But he's behind Baxter and Wisner from a mental/pass pro aspect. If that means taking off a receiver and going 21 personnel at times is the answer then scheme it up. Other than that, it's freshmen like Lockett and Townsend that have the more explosive athletic traits. We still don't know what Mosely can do so we'll have to get him back to see. That said it was only 1 game and Arch wasn't the only one with big nerves. Last year our defense brought it every single game and kept us in every game. This defense looks like they picked right up from that, but may be even better against the run. That should have us right in position to take over every game we play of we get competent QB play here on out. We have 3 puppets to work over and destroy while working on getting tbe fundamentals tight then a bye week. Over a month worth of time to have another crack at the drawing board. That's another full fall camp worth of time with 3 scrimmages to work with to get it right and figure out who our weapons need to be. We better walk into Florida a fucking machine.
  23. We weren't beating the 2023 Michigan team with that defense they had. Their secondary was dialed in like a pro secondary and would have eaten Ewers alive, and our pass defense in 2023 was poor. Washington got easily handled by them and they had a better offense and QB than we did.
  24. My concern for this team is Sark called this game like he had zero confidence in his 3rd year QB and the offensive ability to run a more complex scheme. Looking back at the first 2 quarters and this shit was vanilla. Very little motion. Basic 11 and 12 personnel sets. Nothing challenging OSU's defense as they sat back and played in a coverage shell. Ap the question is why did he not trust this offense? And it's extremely concerning if a 3rd year QB can't be trusted to run it.
  25. Fucking Arch gave them nothing to hate.
