  1. Correct. It was mentioned that Banks was pissed on the strip sack too, thinking maybe QB needed to step up. Either way it’s something we can adjust.
  2. Yes, this it. Unfortunately, Golden is open for a big play in spite of the poor blocking. It was likely miscommunication between the two, but it wasn’t a stunt. It was straight up a crappy job. Both RT and RG did have hands on him. Arch easily escaped and could have thrown away. These two plays were easily the worst sequence. I wouldn’t call that a free rusher. He falls at Arch’s feet because Campbell has contact. If Arch rolls left, it’s likely a huge play in our favor. The crosser and the check down were on the left, the spy on the right. My overall point is clean pockets aren’t always there and that QBs can evade 1 man pressure fairly easily. Generally we are very good at both. Certainly not our best game and something we hope not to repeat.
  3. He came off the edge and not from the DT spot. He just flat out won. I was responding to the unblocked DT comment. This may have been the only game in the past two years that we lost many 1 v 1 battles. We for certain want better. I think the silver lining is that we’re better off for the remainder of the season.
  4. Yep. In several ways, my best memories are against the Aggies. You used to not even have to check the schedule as to when you played them. That only happens in rivalries.
  5. The NFL has made strides with this. This is one simple improvement. Do away with conference officials would help. And no need for the ref to gallop to the sideline for review. Let the booth call down and explain the end result.
  6. So you watch a Florida and Georgia against us and think they get that performance every week? Not exactly the way it works. Ole Miss sacked Beck 5 times. I’ve watched enough football to know every team, every player has ups and downs so the best judgment is over time and in totality rather than individual plays or games. By the way, UF had 4 pressures versus us. 4. That’s a pretty low number and at a percentage per throw that would rank amongst the very best in the country. Out of 29 dropbacks. We had 11 pressures on 27 drops not to mention two deflections that were picked. I’ll take our performance over theirs even if we allowed a free rusher to get a sack that once. The only free rusher that I recall versus Georgia was the CB blitz. I don’t think a DT for any of UGa, UF, or Vandy registered a sack. Hell, you can take it to the NFL. Watching the Rams last night, they didn’t block for shit. I remember 3 guys running free at #9 on one play. We may screw up a stunt, but it’s very uncommon for us to have 3 guys running clean to the QB. I’ll take a free rusher on 2-3% of plays than straight up whipped 35-40% of the time. I realize you watch the hell out of the Horns. I don’t know that you do everyone else.
  7. Back in the 80, the trips were to the Abilene area but never against El Paso schools from what recall. That’s a tough haul and seems odd they play at a lower classification school this week. Kinda crazy.
  8. Not sure those clean pockets exist in your world. It is a bit ironic that people give the pass protection hell on occasion then come back and changed their tone after watching it again and much more closely. Our poor games are a day in the life of many QBs. When we lose upfront, it’s often one guy. That’s much easier to handle that 2+ plus guys. It generally goes that as the Oline goes so goes the QB.
  9. This is a prime example of someone trying too hard to be impartial. Absolute gifts and assistance. The only holding call that led to a pick 6. The blatant holds that led to an injury. The multiple face masks committed against our dline (these aren’t subjective by the way). Oh but an official throwing a flag from 40 yards away on a borderline block in the back then picking it up = an absolute gift. What were the other gifts?
  10. Right now, your boy Poona has the 9th best PFF grade for interior linemen.
  11. This depth is unprecedented at Texas at least for 40 years. It’s pretty rare for any team in the past 40 years for that matter. And likely in the entirety of college football history. Probably the UGa and Bama teams of the past decade or so.
  12. That one I won’t take completely for granted. There was a free blitzer that sped it up a bit. Obviously a play the QB needs to make. Just thought the throw was easier than the quick decision part.
  13. Not if you have the old school T-bar. First game ever played in 7th. Ball thrown right between my eyes. At one point, the ball just disappeared then doinked off the face mask.
  14. Exactly why did that make you think he is now healthy? The best thing about it was the quick decision.
  15. Outstanding. Kudos to you for giving it a whirl. If I make it to a volleyball match in the future, I’ll look for you on the wall.
  16. Apparently. Where’d you play DB?
  17. In my opinion, the pace on that throw to Blue was more important than the location. There was some extra on it, likely intentional. That one happened to have zip and placement.
  18. What if it hits your face?
  19. That was one of Georgias better yards and points efforts on the season. The Beck picks were the problem. But I’ve come to learn we all define things a little differently. So 100% right you are.
  20. Alrighty. On UK I’ll take an alternate route. You don’t want to play our speed after not playing a legit D1 team in 3 weeks. They are a crapshoot. While they did well against Ole Miss and Uga, Auburn, Tennessee and Florida had some of their better games in terms of yards and points. I think their offense will mostly be dead in the water and ultimately their D craters. I am confident that our offense will be more difficult to defend than it was the first half of the season. We’re are healthier and a bit rejuvenated. Think the bye have is a slight internal evaluation too. A&M from a difficulty standpoint is likely the hardest for our offense to crack.
  21. Things were working well. Honestly, I think we’ll score at least 30 in the next 3. Rather handily at that. Particularly if the defense continues to get turnovers on the other side of the 50. We are too good. Georgia shook the confidence (if I’m allowed to speculate on that) with a bit of a hangover (more unprovable speculation), mid season road game the following week. We are likely healthier than we’ve been in some time. Arkansas defense has had some rough outings. We can overwhelm Kentucky. A&M is the most difficult, but they have not played an offense as capable as ours.
  22. Just for fun, I went back and watched his first 9 dropbacks. He has 5 completions, a sack (doesn’t look to be his issue), a scramble that did give us a chance to consider going for it on 4th (but it looks as though he passed on an open guy at the 25), a miss that Bond takes to the house if caught, and what should have been a pick. Two of the completions were passes that are caught damn near 100% of the time. On the season Ewers ranks 42nd in completion percentage (64th if you use adjusted completion %) behind the LOS to give a little context. One of those was on Wisners back shoulder. Another completion was for 4 yards. Only 1 was beyond 10 air yards. It sure wasn’t one of his faster starts. He certainly finished better than he started. So whatever you want to call it, go ahead. Oh and by the way he started 4/4 versus Georgia. I don’t remember exactly where it went from there, but I don’t think there was a mix of missed TD and shoulda been pick in his first 9 dropbacks. In any event, I’m done with it.
  23. Ok. Thanks for your genius.
  24. You did refer to someone’s else’s post as “shitty.” I never said I couldn’t engage in the drama and bs. Objectivity and opinions are not necessarily opposing views. I guess I’ll rethink whether confidence has any impact on a QB. Or any athlete for that matter. Thanks for pointing that out. We were simply discussing whether it was a fast start. An opinion. I gave you my thoughts. Yes, we had multiple mishaps throughout. I did not point those things. I also didn’t point out the wonderful routes and pass protection and catches that went into that 5/5 either. Did you? We succeed and fail as a team. I think we win it all. You? If that happens, I do not care about stays. You can extrapolate that to each individual game.
  25. We’re all limited without the All-22 so it’s difficult to say with certainty what we’re doing and what defenses are doing. It’d be interesting to get the insight on these considerations. I agree that we like the short stuff as running game extensions. But we were down almost 10% in the 10+ yards. That’s quite a drop over last year. Yesterday we were up approaching 15% more targets in those areas as compared to Ewers previous season totals. As for Manning, in my opinion, his sample size is too limited and sporadic to know. He does seem to enjoy heaving it at this point. I am not sure on the short range accuracy. It’s only the Longhorns that I see every play of every game so it’s difficult for me to judge how good others are.
