      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.

    You're digging very deep to make excuses for poor qb play, which hasn't improved much from last season. If Quinn were a moderate 3 star talent coming out of hs, most fans would already be clamoring for one of our backups to play. This team has enough talent to win the big 12 and contend in the playoffs. Quinn's play is ultimately the biggest limiter on how far this team will go.

    If you read FCB's actual article it sure sounds like he's not basing this on any actual info and is only using the quote from Patterson when he left where he said he might give Sark a call if he was bored in August.  It's most likely bs for clicks.

    I really hope there's more to it than that. I don't think Patterson's been given enough credit for the drastic improvement the defense made last year.

    But he would have had just as good if results in the Tech and Rice game. Casey's TCU and OSU game were low bars to clear so why not pulled Thompson since he's put up 9 bad quarters since the Tech game. 

    There is literally nothing we’ve seen to support this assertion. If anything, we’ve seen that Card is clearly not ready and way too hesitant to make plays when needed right now. Ignoring the Arkansas game and pretending it never happened doesn’t discount the fact that Card played terribly that game and couldn’t move the offense at all.  
     

    And trying to argue that Thompson has played 9 bad quarters (which is incorrect), while ignoring how well he’s run our offense for the majority of most games is very short sighted. You’re better than this.

    Anyone tried the Old Ezra 7 Year Barrel Strength? 

    Yes and it’s outstanding. Would highly recommend picking it up.

    The play in overtime vs Oklahoma State should and better not ever happen again in Sams time here.

    Or maybe Herman shouldn’t be playing a freshmen who has suffered obvious head injuries 2 weeks in a row?

    The narrative that Sam makes bad judgments when the game is on the line or doesn’t have sufficient ability to quickly process things based on how the OU and Ok St games ended last year is ridiculous. Sam should never have been put back in by Herman at the end of the OU game, and it was even more mind blowing when Herman kept him in during the Ok St game the following week after yet another head injury at the end of the game. Herman did a piss poor job of looking out for Sam’s health and best interests last season.

    1) Tornado

    2) Seasoned Wood

    3) Four Grain

    4) Rye

    5) Single Barrel

    6) Barrel Proof

    7) Small Batch

     

    I haven’t tried the Cured Oak or Sour Mash yet. While I love high proofed bottles, for whatever reason I’m not huge on the EHT Barrel Proof. 

    This is very helpful, thanks Pappy and BigDHorn. Will be on the lookout for your recommendations.

    I finished off my EH Taylor set.

    Could you please provide advice on which of these were your favorites? I've been wanting to try some EH Taylor for a while now, but could use some advice on which ones to look for.
