  1. And yet Trey Owens has apparently reached the point where they don't trust him to be 2nd or maybe even 3rd string so they took an emergency QB from the portal. Good job Milwee
  2. Dallas should haved kicked this. Not joking as a neutral fan
  3. Same for QB coach. Milwee ain't it
  4. I want to know who is actually doing the QB coaching. Sark or Milwee? My guess is more Milwee since Sark has so many other responsibilities. Because yeah, the mechanics and the seemingly mental struggles of Ewers and Manning are eerily similar. Might be time to hire a better QB coach
  5. All these recruiting/high school related takes ignore the fact that Arch looked very damn good last year. Not perfect but accuracy was not an issue. Something has changed in the past 8 months. My guess is it's purely mental OR he unwisely tried to change his mechanics.
  6. Well that escalated quickly
  7. This is what I don't get. He was nails last year in his 2 starts. Yeah those were weak opponents but so is UTEP. Either he's hurt (doubtful), he has the mental yips (likely), or his mechanics got fucked up over the offseason (who knows).
  8. Not a rhetorical question - How much time do we think Sark actually spends coaching the QBs? Like, is he in the meeting room with them every day or is Milwee leading all of that? I suspect the latter given all the other head coach responsibilities. Also - yeah Guilbeau has been the biggest weak spot on defense by far. Teams aren't even throwing at MM and Littleton has been solid. Guilbeau has been overmatched every game. Maybe the other backups suck but sure seems like Guilbeau should move back to slot behind Littleton.
  9. QB, OL, and WR are all very inexperienced right now. Not too surprising that they're all up and down. I was surprised WR and even OL depth weren't addressed more in the portal this offseason. The upside of that is that they should improve more rapidly than normal.
  10. I'm on the Kaliq Lockett train. Would love to see him get more snaps next week
  11. SIAP but what's going on with Derek Williams? Saw him out there with the backups at the end of the game and otherwise nada. Thought he'd be a major contributor this year
  12. He looks as good as any of our backs running the ball. Dude just needs to learn how to hold on to it.
  13. Forgot one more pro: NO injuries! That's pretty awesome for a tough game like that.
  14. I'd rather keep him healthy and focused on defense tbh even if he is a little better than Niblett at it
  15. Anyone else getting ads about Polymarket being legal soon in Texas and know any details about that?
  16. I'm pretty convinced that good NFL coaches are miles ahead of most college coaches. An average/good NFL coordinator usually seems elite in college..
  17. Did any of the journalists ask Arch why his mechanics were so different? I saw one Sark quote about footwork on crossers but that's it. Seemed like the issues went well beyond crossers to me..
  18. This is exactly what I'm talking about in terms of QB sneaks being a skill. Statue Tom Brady would have known not to just plow right at that those dudes in the middle. He would have signaled at the line and taken one step left to wedge himself right behind Stroh/Goosby
  19. This is one of the problems with your OC being HC. It's pretty simple. When the defense/ST is on the field, the HC has to be paying attention to what's happening on the field. With a pure OC, they can spend that entire time watching tape, talking to the QB, and planning the next series. I guess AJ does that stuff but he's not the QB whisperer Sark is supposed to be.
  20. This. QB sneak, especially with a guy like Arch, should be near automatic for half a yard. The execution was the bigger problem imo (which is on the coaches too to be clear)
  21. Pros: Aussie Jack at punter Run Defense was exceptional The inexperienced new OL held up really well in pass pro and run game Littleton Run game was better than expected considering the opponent and new OL Endries looks like a player at TE Cons: Obviously Arch Obviously red zone, as always Pass rush - big shocker to me. I get OSU didn't have many long dropbacks but it seemed like our guys were stonewalled every time I watched them closely. 1 TFL and 0 sacks. Baker's penalties and that final missed assignment but like others have said, he gets a pass given the circumstance and youth Stop returning kicks from 7 yards deep you dumbasses Neutral: DBs got outmatched by the OSU WRs overall but that's probably the best WR corps in the country and they still held up ok. OSU didn't open it up a whole lot though either. Hard to judge the WRs from TV I thought Niblett was fine. He just played it pretty safe which I'm ok with.
  22. I watched the video and I know he said that, but if you watch his 2024 highlights someone posted, Arch seemed to be perfectly fine with touch throws. I don't agree with #6. Otherwise a solid breakdown. I'm not confident enough in my eyes or football knowledge to say definitively, but it sure seems like his 2024 highlight throwing motion was very different from yesterday. Hopefully just nerves but we'll see
  23. Tush pushes should be way more effective than ours were when you have a guy like Arch in there. They need to teach that shit better asap. There's a reason Philly and Buffalo get a guaranteed 1-2 yards every time against NFL defenses. It's a good playcall and major weapon IF the players are well-coached on it. Even Tom Brady had like a 90% success rate on QB sneaks and that dude moved like molasses
  24. Well said. Idk why people feel the need to pick sides and only blame one. Arch played bad. Sark sucked in the redzone again. If either one were better, it might be a W. My main concern - I'm not an expert but why were Arch's mechanics so much shittier than last year? Maybe he was just in his head and will settle down, but if this is a new throwing motion he's using, that's a problem.
