  1. He's one of our best blockers hands down. Huge reason he's starting as a true freshman
  2. Speaking of LBers, very glad to see the amount of rotation on the field vs Rice. I have yet to see anything from Gbenda that makes me want to see more of him. I know it won't happen but I would like to see what Ben Davis looks like at that position
  3. Coburn has literally always underperformed, except this year he's coasting like a senior in high school. Also lost TQ Graham. Not the most talented guy but showed more effort in more games than some of his colleagues. Ojomo is the main holdover from last year that is helping the line not be absolutely terrible this year. Wait... 2020 didn't happen did it?
  4. Arky being out of sync in the first half of the season was the fluke. Or are you saying because we're beating up Rice with a 3rd string QB that we should have won last week? Have you seen our OLine?
  5. It's fucking Rice y'all. Any QB takes need to wait until Tech
  6. The linemen look weak and flabby goddamn... Where are the roids??
  7. Any team knows to put Foster in conflict and/or needing to make an open field tackle and they'll gain yards at will
  8. Wouldn't surprise me to see a similar approach from Tech's defense that we got from Arky. Getting them at home will help a lot to defuse the energy guys like Merriweather, Jeffers, Morgenstern, Monroe, even Schooler have when playing Texas

    Or you know, lacking recruiting chops to land top level talent and settling for backup options that are shitty evals that leave you with CJones, Okafor, Angilau, and to a lesser extent Majors, Kerstetter as your "best" options without even mentioning the real scrubs like Ghirmai. Other talent like Karic, Hookfin, Tyler Johnson would potentially satisfy a Herman offense but the coaches from Bama on offense want the body types they are comfortable with, who coincidentally are just bodies and no talent for their positions. Either that or they need each several years to gain competency in what is envisioned of them, so one summer and 2 games leaves us with what we saw last night. Conner instantly in the 2 deep tells you how bad some of our past OL evals have been. The development was obviously lacking but it always always starts with the eval. The overall recruiting class ranking means jack shit. Go look at OL recruiting over the past decade seriously it's ass especially if you're Flood and Sark and want to play like they did at Alabama
  10. As hard as it is to kick start a team that is getting whipped up front, give Barry Odom credit, he wasn't going to give Sark an easy in to get going. Once I saw Okafor, Jones, Angilau whiffing and getting tossed around... If we had a TE worth a shit then maybe we could work something out but of course we don't
  11. The defense never shut down the run, from beginning to end, despite trying to. That's a recipe for a loss all day every day. I'm angry at the offense too, specifically the O line and receivers, but I've always been pessimistic about where we were gonna be offensively this year anyway. Bitching about which QB to play when they've both been neck and neck all camp is asinine seeing where we really lost this game. We want to play and defend in space. Arky made this game about constant impact, hard and constant whether on the attack or on the defense. We didn't have the makeup for this type of game and the coaches just found that out. If we keep butting our heads against the wall for the rest of the season I'll get on the Sark sucks train but not right now after seeing tonight
  12. So we score quickly with Casey if he connects those deep shots. Congrats we're still getting worked on the ground. And that's probably the last deep shot look we'll get
  13. What I'm trying to say is the coaches didn't roll over, they just learned the hard way what their own team is made of, seeing them against a confident opponent that saw what we did against Ulala and attacked the way we gave up yards on the ground vs a midmajor. The problems start when coaches react to hardships poorly and the team never recovers the rest of the season. Tune in next week
  14. The linemen and backers got physically worn down. Not a surprise, the past regime built the roster to compete against the B12 offense and this staff wants to play like the roster is up to par with defending a blocking oriented play style. Get over the QBs, Casey wouldn't have won the game for us. The defensive roster got worked and we never have a shot winning vs 350 rushing yards
  15. The Casey should starts reactionaries gotta keep in mind every last damn QB that comes in late against a prevent D riding an insurmountable lead while their O is running the ball AT WILL... Is going to score some trash points. This is a data point for Casey to glean little if anything from
  16. Real lack of talent on D. Be real and think about Jacoby Jones, Luke Brockermeyer, David Gbenda, Brendan Schooler, BJ Foster, Anthony Cook...and how integral their positions are to what the DC wants to do. Think about those players and try to imagine why playing a Line that is all 300+ that ISNT FAT, with big receivers that love to block. Way too many weak spots for a decent game plan with balanced personnel to exploit. OTOH, how do you get on track vs a strong line and good linebackers, when you have CJones, Okafor, Angilau playing like little pussies, while counting on green receivers. Whittington just can't be your #1 guy. He's a Swiss army guy to use creatively while your main WRs draw attention. This team this year is in full rebuild
  17. C Jones needs to be dropped stat. The "he just needs a good coach to develop" crowd has ignored the apparent truth that he simply doesn't like to get aggressive. Being soft inside and out isn't a coachable trait
  18. Gaoteote looks slower than Brockermeyer.
  19. I'm seriously looking forward to Aaronson drinking some milk one of these days
  20. I wouldn't wait. He, Sands, and Adams have been among the poorest out there tonight
  21. But can we all agree he will generate some buzz?
  22. But will he show out?
  23. Like I said earlier, he should look into a lacrosse school
