  1. Yeah, I can see that angle. If I’m McLaren they have 2 good drivers in the fastest car so no more papaya and let the best man win.
  2. I totally agree but the bold is where my head is at. If your Lando or Piastri in this situation, how would you be feeling as a competitor trying to win the title?
  3. What an awful feeling that must be for Lando and Piastri.
  4. That’s kinda the point though. It’s 3 points and McLaren is worried about who’s feelings are going to get hurt because they screwed up a year ago and don’t know how to handle the situation with any maturity. Maybe I’m wrong because I haven’t been into F1 that long but 31 points with 8 races left doesn’t seem like it’s a done deal for Piastri. All it’s takes is a Kimi kamikaze or an engine failure to make it close for Piastri. It’s a luxury for McLaren till it’s not.
  5. I don’t understand it. If McLaren was my team, I’d be frustrated as hell at the way they’re going about this.
  6. It was dumb in Hungary and they’ve continued to compound the issue now with Piastri trying to win the championship. They’ve consistently been shit at handling this.
  7. Seems weird McLaren is worried about a position swap with the points leader that late in the race. It just comes off as a manufactured title fight when stuff like this happens. What’s going to happen if Piastri has a PU failure and gets a DNF resulting in Lando catching up in the points? From that point on is McLaren going to let drivers deal with consequences of bad strategy or pit crew failures? If not, will Lando or Piastri be willing to do a swap later in the season?
  8. I don’t have 24/7 nor do I know what particular route he’s throwing in this image.
  9. I’m not judging in hindsight. I specifically said the picture going around would have gotten Wingo hurt if Arch decides to throw it then. He should have thrown the ball earlier when the rub/pick was set. The corner was trailing Wingo by his third step. Wingo had less reaction time with the safety screaming down on him on the seam route earlier in the game. We can agree to disagree on this one.
  10. In order for Texas to be successful they had to be lighter in the box to help contain one of if not the best WR groups in college. And yet, the Ohio st Oline was barely able to get a consistent push against our front, only rushing for 77 yards at 2.3YPC. Ohio st has a pretty good Dline even if it’s not as deep as Texas. Their edges and LB core also played good and had some unknowns that are now on peoples radar. And we all know how good Downs is in the box and sniffing out runs. So I just have a hard time believing our Oline played bad while getting 4.5YPC with 3 to 4 new starters and blocking for a running back coming off a knee implosion. Paul seems to always be hypercritical of the lines, whether it’s not being tough enough or going on one of his S&C tirades that he loves to do. The Oline could have been better in certain situations but there was stuff outside of their control that had a bigger impact on the game.
  11. Sark said post game the first read was to Wingo.
  12. If you throw that ball in the snapshot taken then yes, a lot of bad can happen. Wingo was open right off the rub which is the read and it gives Wingo plenty of room to not get decapitated. It’s a bang-bang play that Arch needs to be quick with trigger on. The ball to Sanders, are you talking about the one against Oklahoma?
  13. That would only make sense if Arch wasn’t able to make long, on a rope throws. The drop to Endries and the rope to Wingo in the fourth are good examples of throws that he would not be able to make if he was injured. He was also over throwing WRs with zip on the ball as well. Like I said, a common theme of his bad throws was bad mechanics from the ground up. All of Arch’s good throws had good mechanics.
  14. Not really. The majority if not all of his bad throws were mechanically bad from the ground up. If someone has a hurt arm their foot work shouldn’t be impacted on the majority of their throws.
  15. Agreed. His throwing motion is already a little wonky and him trying to do the side arm stuff is going to highlight that even more. Philip Rivers’ throwing motion was akin to the mechanics of a trebuchet and any time he went off platform it looked awful. Arch isn’t as bad as Rivers though.
