  1. That's kind of the perfect time to do it, if I'm correct
  2. The coaches just be trying shit
  3. To be clear, my theory isn't sandbagging. It's actually closer to the opposite of that. Trying to be good at everything early in the season rather than focusing on a couple of run concepts and knowing those like the back of your dick
  4. Something I've been kicking around in the noggin I wonder if Sark wants an offense that scales up to being able to hit the highest notes of game-planning against the best competition. He wants to be able to run just about every run play possible. Different runs require different techniques not limited to steps, rules, and angles, and there's a reason some coaches prefer to major in one type of run (whether it's IZ, OZ, counter, duo, etc). Because of the time and practice constraints in college, and because you're dealing with college kids, there's a true give-take between the quality of blocking for a given scheme and the number of schemes you're implementing. Also it's possible that working on a variety of runs in college leads to more of a focus on just getting your assignment right and "shield blocking" rather than aggressively displacing your man To start the season you're probably looking at being surface-level at a lot of schemes while hoping you have a couple of runs to hang your hat on; looking at a jack of all runs, master of some (or none). When defenses show unexpected wrinkles that you didn't rep that week, but you know that you've taught it in practice at some point, OL is a weakest link position, and it only takes one OL fuck up the play. To start the season, you're hoping that experience or young-but-bright OL grok it as much as possible, but as the season goes on your level of understanding goes up across the board. It's a process. You'd love to know which players get it in fall camp if not spring camp so you can start the building up process as soon as possible, but sometimes that just doesn't in the cards, or injuries happen. Sometimes your game-planning for week one and a player keeps fucking up his assignment against the expected fronts/stunts. Anyway, this is just a theory, but I'm hoping the OL individually and collectively gets better at the various runs as the season goes on. I think the passing game will eventually click at a high level that scales up, but I'm hoping the run get will get to the point to where it truly punishes defenses rather than just jabs them
  5. Hoping we can get an early multiview with the Clemson, Bama, Oregon, and OU games
  6. For those who like to use PFF as a bible, here's an example of the various services that NFL writers/analysts use that varies at a ridiculous degree for a metric And PFF's NFL stuff has much more money and eyes put on it than their college stuff
  7. Covering spreads like this generally depend on how motivated the coach is. Is he Kiffin/Franklin and cares about covering, is he Kirby Smart and doesn't want to embarrass overmatched teams, or is it a staff that's just working on shit? That's hardly a massive line swing. Doesn't even cross a key number
  8. I've been out of work for a few months I'm a reservoir/A&D engineer. Oil company sold in May, got a package. Have been targeting banking and PE technical roles, but also have applied to O&G companies when the roles make sense. Probably have averaged at least a screener interview a week. Have gotten to the final interview several times, and am waiting to hear back from one of them, but it's been a few weeks. I'd like to add more irons to the fire since this thing is starting to really drag on, and I need a job before amazon delivers burn through my severance. If any of you have anything that doesn't show up on LinkedIn (which I've already seen), or have a really good connection somewhere, and are willing to help out, please DM me Thanks
  9. The Rams stunted at a league high 30% They were in dime a quarter of their defensive snaps Houston had the worst starting position in the league, and on at least one of those drives (the first) they were then pushed back by a (bullshit) penalty Houston's 3rd to go was at an average of 10.7, which is terrible. For reference, last year they were 3rd worst in the league at around 7 yards and change The pre-game OL shuffle due to Ingram being out, then Robinson getting knocked out for a quarter and change before coming back in, and the center getting knocked out didn't help. Neither did being on the road against a talented defensive front against a creative and aggressive defensive staff that knows the new OC very well Baptism by fire for Stroud and the pass protection operation. Bowles also is aggressive, but he's a bit more obvious at least, and they don't have Verse
  10. This board is a beating right now
  11. They just be working on shit against these three cupcakes
  12. It's useful for personnel grouping and snap count stats, but I wouldn't masterbate over its grading other than using it directionally
  13. The fanbase will be checked in for Florida and OU
  14. They do have a bye the week before the game They might be more beat up than we are, but more importantly, they won't be able to save anything for our game, while we'll have a whole month to work on new shit
  15. It's a "name your score" line. Betting on this is better on whether or not the coach of the team decides to lay it on the opponent
  16. I'll be in for later Maybe post this link on the football board somewhere to get more traffic
  17. Might be a function of how OSU plays us. If they're sitting back in coverage because they're scared of Arch bombs and think we'll stub our toe on long drives, then white lightning is less of a factor than if they're aggressively stopping the run with numbers and are trying to end drives defensively asap
  18. Speaking of Brugler, he put out positional rankings among draftable players a few weeks ago. Top five overall for each position, and ranks draftable underclassmen and seniors separately. Here's Texas and OSU's Arch Manning #1 overall QB Trey Moore #10 senior Edge Ethan Burke #26 senior Edge CJ Baxter #4 third year RB Tre Wisner #6 third year RB Jack Endries #5 third year TE Anthony Hill #3 overall LB DJ Campbell #4 senior IOL Jaylon Guielbeaux #11 senior CB Malik Muhammad #7 third year CB Trevor Goosby #11 third year OT (this is a loaded class) Michael Taafe #7 senior S Deandre Moore #9 third year WR No DTs (only had five senior DTs for some reason, if he'd listed more I assume some of our transfers would have been listed) Carnell Tate #3 overall WR Brandon Inniss #19 third year WR Caleb Downs #1 overall S Ethan Onianwa #6 senior OT (oops) Sonny Styles #2 overall LB Arvell Reese #7 third year LB Max Klare #2 overall TE Caden Curry #25 senior Edge Kenyatta Jackson #5 third year Edge Beau Atkinson #10 third year Edge Davison Igbinosun #5 overall CB Jermaine Mathews Jr #10 third year CB CJ Donaldson Jr #11 senior RB No DTs or IOLs
