  1. Rattler wanted no part of any contact there, LOL. Went down like a stiff dick touched by Rosie O'Donnell.

  3. In Card's defense, he hasn't started in forever. Maybe his rudder will get a little more steady with more reps.
  4. Beotching about their team and coaches the last two pages. I didn't dig any deeper than that.
  5. This. Love Bijan but there have been some games where he could/should have been spelled with Rojo IMO. Not just for rest, but Rojo adds a little something all his own.
  6. Marcus Washington has improved the last couple of games. Not lights out performances but making more plays. Josh Moore is Jekyll and Hyde. I'd have him on a short leash if I even played him. I agree. Think I'd insert Money over Moore.

  9. The team has struggled against every single defense with a heartbeat -- Arkansas, TCU, OU and Ok St. Knowing that OK St has a solid defense, I was not surprised by the outcome of this game or against OU. The team struggles because the OL CAN NOT hold up, especially against stunts and blitzes. Casey does not handle it well contrary to what many would like to believe. So now tell us who the talent on the OL are that aren't a problem? In my opinion Kertstetter and Angilau are pretty solid pieces. Majors is a work in progress but should get better as the season progresses. Would be nice if he had another year of physical maturity and strength already. FK Tom Herman for not having any better options at center READY after Shackleford left. Ghirmai ManTitties? Come on now. An OL is only as good as it's weakest links and that line has several weak links. Karic and Conners are another pair that will probably be OK next year. But they're light on experience right now and Karic is also light in the pants as of yet. The OL was rearranged with only a week to prepare. OL's don't progress that fast unless you have studs to plug and play with. The jury is out on Flood. He seems to have a great resume, but doesn't have the talent to work with here he did at Bama. Not even close, which really makes it hard to grade his coaching. I don't see any of Iowa St, Baylor or WVU being gimme's either with this OL as it is.
  10. All good questions, but I will counter with this. When one is fatigued, he doesn't think or execute as crisply. No one will gripe more about a lack of fundamentals than me, especially as it regards tackling. It is difficult to quantify the degree to which exhaustion affects the level of play but it unquestionably does. Just watch the difference between a gassed fighter vs his early rounds. It would be nice to have that kind of defense that plays with resolute effort keeping an impotent offense in the game until the bitter end. I don't pretend to know how much of this is mental toughness, conditioning or the degree of coaching and reps these guys are getting on fundamentals. Just one example though -- BJ Foster. Someone wroteup how he was an exciting assassin to watch his freshman season, and has regressed ever since. Well, yeah, he was aggressive and a great athlete. But he never tackled correctly. He was always hunting the big hit with his shoulder bump or missile launch. To__ Orlan_o did him no favors. Mr. Just Put Your Foot in the Ground and Swarm to The BAll. OK. Great, yes, lots of bodies towards the ball. See ball, or what you think is the ball (misdirection/fake handoff anyone?) and everyone swarms to it and increases the odds of getting the guy down. But no fundamentals. Is BJ too stupid or stubborn to learn? Has anyone ever really made a solid effort to emphasize proper technique? Are his bad habits just too ingrained? Wish I knew the answer. I think it's far too early to call for either Sark or PK being changed out. I do have some nitpicks and concerns. Keep in mind though, that when there are a lot of things to fix, you can only fix so much week-to-week.
  11. Players have to execute. Not that I don't have any criticisms for Sark. I question why at times he won't put Roschon or Keilan in more often for instance. I speculate he wants to feature Bijan for the Heisman possibly. Or maybe he just has that much faith in him, but it seems at times Bijan shows some fatigue and a fresh set of legs and change might be a good idea at those times. Frankly, I think Roschon is good enough to be a starter on most teams.
  12. Coincidentally, all of those defenses made the OL struggle. But I'll go further and say there were 'signs' even against Tech. Many of his off throws or failures to see open receivers in that game were him losing composure due to pressure in the pocket, even on plays when the time and protection was there. Would Card have done better if Sark had stuck with him after Arkansas? It's anyone's guess. You pick a guy you feel gives you the best shot to win and hope he progresses. But Sark should listen to his gut and be ready to put whoever the backup is into the game at some point and the last thing he should worry about is what the fans or the guy he yanks think about it. Give Riley credit where it's due. He's shown he knows when it's time to switch horses.
  13. Can only imagine what it's like as a HC facing the press after a loss. Nothing they say will satisfy fans or dooshbag reporters.
  14. Congrats on the win. Your defense is pretty good. If you just had an upgrade at QB. Good RB too.
  15. Colt and Shipley masked a lot of issues to the casual fan.
  16. amazing how they were all in the backfield in 1 second You can lead a horse to water ...
  17. If we could pick only one thing to fix on this team it should be the OL. No, the D isn't great, but they could probably do what's needed if the OL could just be average.
  18. Card didn't deal well with pressure against Arkansas. But Casey hasn't really shown to do any better against similar pressure.
