    I hate when our fanbase says “aggy” because it’s just as stupid as unfunny as those people they mock on SEC rant or Reddit. 

    Does anyone type it that way to be funny?  I don't know of any comedic value there, but I personally can't be bothered to extend my fingers around for the "right" spelling when aggy will do just fine.  If it bothers any of their supporters then I guess that's just an added bonus

    You consider that an actual jump with extension? His foot is pretty much on the ground as soon as both hands touch the ball. 

    Did you see those arms in the passing window?

    You could argue JT was trying to protect himself, but you expect your star NFL tight end to make those plays. 

    Perspective makes it look like the arms in the passing window had a chance, they didn't the ball was past them when the arms extended.  The timing was late, causing those defenders to be where they were at the time of the throw, and too high for Sanders to have a high percentage of success on the catch.  Quicker motion and on the money is what Sark expects with these plays.  Not a lot of margin for error, but when the dude harps on details, this is what he means

  3. Relying on a guy we all knew was made of glass to be the physical enforcer, paired with a guy that runs 4.7 or greater that is not stoutly built and has poor open field tackling ability, backed up by Dylan Haines but without the INTs, and a special teams contributor... then calling that a deep room where we are comfortable with any of them rotating in big games... that doesn't sound like a particularly bang-up honest talent evaluation.  We've had worse no doubt, but talking about championships and then running into a rival in year 2 that has Bowman and Bowen smells like an underperformance of where we should be in year 3.  IDGAF who the land thieves have behind those 2, but I just know they came up with goal line stops, turnovers, and limited YAC on what we expected to be a plus matchup with our WR.  Unfortunately, this isn't some vast overachievement on their part, if anything they'll be even better by the time we maybe meet for a rematch.  Is Texas going to be a force on the back end to subdue WR with physicality, speed to cover the deep ball, and discipline to sniff out athletic QB run by years end or are we going to wonder why goal line offense is such a challenge for us and why scrambling QBs get 100 yards on us?

      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.

    I'm only glancing at the gifs due to lack of time, but I see #2 as partly a footwork issue by Quinn.  Either his feet or his brain are too slow to halt the drop back at the moment he sees Sanders look promising.  Instead the pressure and footwork keep him moving back and just slings his arm forward hoping it gets to Sanders before the window closes.  He's deeply entrenched in his ball flip, and lackadaisical back pedal

     

    More I look at the rest, hitching and bad feet are affecting ball placement and velocity.  Also to his credit his feet are a bit faster now than last year, but still not good enough, and the ball flip is thankfully rarer as well.  Seems like we have a camp queen that's getting coached to be a proper QB, if he had simply been described as a high ceiling project as a recruit it would all make more sense to the cfb world.

  5. Among friends and family I would refer to the Texas - ISU game as the 'Tism Bowl during the Herman tenure, watching him and Campbell tangle was an excruciating watch every time.  Personally I don't know what it is but I cannot stand Campbell even in the limited bits I've seen of him, and it's puzzling to me how he managed to pick up acclaim.  Upsetting teams as an underdog can be done anywhere, anytime, by anyone, it takes belief and passion but it's not the worst place to be in psychologically in sports and particularly in college football.  Having a talented team and getting beat by the Ragin' Cajun and limply conceding defeat in the 4th quarter was enough for me to condemn Campbell as a HC at any serious blue blood.  Being bitch made on the field but coming at fans off the field is exactly what this guy has always been made of, and maybe he just didn't have the delusional self confidence at the start of his tenure to let it show.  He needs a small ish program with low expectations, forgiving sports media and that's the ideal pairing for a guy like this, ditto Herman.

    He's also a thin-skinned prick who runs a dirty program, so they don't have to change anything but the nametags

    Holy shit that conversation is a perfect illustration of the logical fallacies the typical Aggy and other rubes live off of, and they simply don't see it.  Reading it is almost akin to watching an alien lifeform behind a glass barrier and seeing it do some unexplainable shit.

  7. I'm glad Sark saw the lack of physicality too and is taking it personally (I hope).  I wasn't too disappointed by what I saw against Rice other than their lack of physicality on offense which really stood out to me.  They seemed shell shocked that a team was being eager to come at them, the OL, TEs and WRs looked like they wished they could play the game without violent contact.  All else be damned, if they're not chomping at the bit for contact in Tuscaloosa we're looking at a repeat of @Arky

    Greatest day of the year!

    Watching now and not happy with new 4k TV through YoutubeTV.  Thankfully still had my old plasma.  Hooked it up via antenna, and holy shit!  Smaller, but better.  (that's what she said)

    What's your Internet like?
