  1. Rewatching the game now, found where we ran a counter to the OZ at just before 5:00 in the 2nd QTR. Got blown up with a whiff by Hayden Conner, he makes that block, it is set up pretty well unless someone sheds a block.

    Play action passes are fine provided it's against man defense and it's a play designed for really only one WR/TE target.  On the TD pass to Helm, he was going to Helm or nothing.  He didn't need his slow brain, just a set of eyes to see where the defender is in relation to Helm.  Open?  Throw.  Not open?  Don't throw.

    If it's zone or NOT a play drawn up for a very specific WR/TE, then Ewers has to process information (what's the coverage and who's going to BE open...which is a future decision, not a "now" decision made with the eyes) and he needs every fucking millisecond for his brain to get rolling.  I think PA and other eye candy plays hurt him and should be replaced with shotgun snap, eyes downfield from the get-go.  

    His slow processing is why he can't work the pocket when protection isn't great and even a single defender is getting through.  It asks him to mentally multitask and he doesn't have it.  PA, or anything with his eyes not downfield, and a soft pocket results in a panic/surprise response.  He needs to be processing all of the time or none of the time (predetermined target).

    Take it to the Ewers thread whiny ass. He just won the game, have some respect.

    That’s what I remember and it’s when I think QE is at his best … well that and when our running game is humming. 
     

    I really think PA is a complete waste when the run game is stalled like it was. I also think sark needs to play straight up when he’s got the talent advantage and mix in the cute stuff. Spread the field, shot gun, 3 step, 5 step drop backs and sling the fucking thing.

    PA only works if the defense fears the run, they certainly didn't fear it.

  4. If you want to continue to run that OZ with the RB offset, you are gonna have to run some counter out of the same formation IMO. The OZ PA pass has been disastrous. I bet we have more sacks on that play than any other.

    Now it's second and 18. We are still in 12 personnel. ASU basically has 8 men in the box again. We run a toss to the boundary and we actually block it up pretty well. Our TEs double team the playside DE. Banks washes down the 3-tech DT. We pull Majors and Conner. Majors sees the backside pursuit shoot the gap and peels back to handle him. Conner takes he corner around the end. The problem is they just had too many hats. Wisner makes the 1st guy miss and picks up 6.

     

     

     

    One of the best runs of the day sadly, out of the pistol no less.

    One thing to consider is that they all stopped blocking, completely and turned around after the fumble. 

    I'm not defending the play, but the reality exists that Wisner called fumble. In which case, ALL players, including OL have been coached to stop whatever their assignments were and look for the ball.

    If you look closely, as soon as the ball springs loose, the stop blocking, turn and start looking at the ground. "loose ball drill" 

    It would explain why all of them, at the same time stopped their blocking assignment, turned around and started looking down on the ground.

    Bad play call, bad execution of a bad play call, great "tip" drill by Ewers to catch the ball in the air, look for running room. Good job of running the "ball" drill by the OL. Good choice by Quinn to manage a bad situation and not make it worse by just going down.

    Best result of a cluster fuck we probably could have hoped for in that situation.

    Could be true and might be probable but at this point we don't truly know. Kelvin Banks kept blocked and even he got shedded. Best case was 3 guys completely whiffed or bull dozed. That play was doomed. ASU had the perfect call.

    They weren’t respecting Quinn at all on the ZR and only keyed on the backs

    Exactly how many times do you think we ran ZR? I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure it was zero. If I'm wrong, it doesn't matter the number was so small it was insignificant in the grand scheme of the offensive game plan. It isn't and never will be a staple of the Sark offense with someone like Quinn as the QB.

    That was just Golden getting blown up. It looks worse when the RB get popped fumbles it 4 yards backwards to Quinn. 3 guys are coming from the outside that never would have made the play, if Golden didnt get destroyed and the the RB went A/B gap

    I understand Golden got blown up, he wasn't the only one and literally no one else was able to sustain a block either. The film doesn't lie. I know that is difficult in a loose ball situation but # 55 got pancaked into the backfield by his assignment not to mention the other disastrous attempts to block.

    Daniel Jeremiah (NFL draft analyst) was on a podcast I was listening to yesterday and mentioned he heard the oblique injury was much more severe than the team/Ewers camp let on. He said he heard there was a tear.

    It's going to be frustrating to read and see, but I'm sure once the season is over, there is going to be a lot of pushing from the Ewers camp to let people know how unhealthy he was to try to justify some of his poor play. I guess that is why these guys hire agents/PR teams. 

    Nah, he was just being a pussy.

    I dont think he makes it out of the end zone, but it was odd to go down. I didnt go back and watch it, but remember thinking why didnt make an attempt to get out of the endzone.

    Because he had 5 guys coming at him and the entire offensive line was turned around watching it happen.
