  1. This season Haynes King has a 'Time to Throw' of 2.65 seconds. Last year Max Johnson at LSU had a 'Time to Throw' of 2.73 seconds. So not only is Johnson immobile - he also takes longer to get the ball out.
  2. We're going in to Game 3 - what the fuck? I'm too old to try and process these changes in the middle of the season.
  3. What bullshit. That OL wasn't missing assignments - they were getting their ass beat 1 on 1.
  4. Out indefinitely with foot injury. Well, fuck.
  5. I think people are underestimating this Miami offense. Yes they struggled in the first half against Southern Miss - but they also were resting some starters and working back in a couple starters who had injuries. Van Dyke is a good QB and they have talent on the OL - especially with Zion Nelson coming back for this game. That aggy defense is not the same one that was shutting teams down in 2021 - Miami is going to score points.
  6. For those curious - no, being a graduate of a school does not make you a 'booster'. From the NCAA: https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2013/11/27/role-of-boosters.aspx#:~:text=Boosters%2C referred to by the,promoting the university's athletics programs.
  7. He's 51, has never been as much as an OC, and is from the area. Its possible if he waited he may have gotten a better offer - but there was no guarantee. Worst case scenario is he loses at Temple, gets fired, and then goes back to being a highly sought after RB coach at either the college or NFL level.
  8. That may be true - but the Miami D is significantly better and they are getting Akheem Mesidor back from injury. The right side of the aggy OL is a joke and I expect Miami to take advantage. On Offense their future NFL OT Zion Nelson got some snaps last week but should be full speed for Saturday night. Considering how piss-poor the aggy offense is - and their OL - good enough is all Miami will need on offense. That said - it is a night game at Kyle Field - weird shit happens.
  9. Yep. Those grades are - not good. Vs. Texas DL through two games (DL/ED who have played at least 10 snaps)
  10. One of the biggest criticisms of Card is that he holds the ball too long - and 'Time to Throw' stats from last year certainly back that up: 3.55 is ridiculously long time to hold the ball - especially on a team with a questionable OL. The Alabama game is a very small sample size - but it looks that Card has sped up his processing at least a little bit. Aside from the ridiculous arm talent - one of Ewers best attributes may be his confidence. He knows where he wants to go with the ball and is decisive in doing it. Card always seems to need an extra beat to make up his mind. If Card is healthy one of the things I'm most interested in is how quickly he makes a decision. Can he continue to speed up his 'process time', or does he revert to 2021 Card that gets stuck 'waiting'?
  11. Message board rumor from the last few days. Given how he played to finish the year - I hope they do put him on the field.
  12. McKinley Jackson was one of their 5 worst graded defenders (of every defender that played) last season. I don't think getting him back is going to be a net positive. Wykoff at OC has graded out better this year than Foster did last year. Also Foster ended last season looking terrible, and allegedly considered quitting the team this off-season. But leave it to aggy to think that him coming back is in some way a boon to the OL.
  13. Those defensive rankings for aggy are insane. They played SHSU and held them scoreless, awesome! SHSU played Northern Arizona last week and scored all of 3 points. It is the single worst Sam Houston offense in 2 decades. Then aggy played App St and held them to 17 points, awesome! Except that App St. held the ball for 40 minutes and basically did exactly what they wanted to do - the aggy defense couldn't make stops and couldn't get off the field. Who the fuck is impressed by their defense?
  14. Right - I don't think the people PFF hires to grade are 'football smart' enough to know where the play is actually supposed to go.
  15. Miami OL grades through 2 games. Their starting LT Zion Nelson graded out as below last year: Z. Nelson -- 73.3 -- 65.0 -- 85.3
  16. First time I've seen people in the seats in the South End Zone.
  17. Seems absolutely crazy that in a Jimbo offense RB/TE's have a total of 5 targets in 2 games. I guess Jimbo was honest that he was 'changing' his offense - just didn't explain that it was going to be worse.
