    Not trying to be an ass but did you play any football? 

      In practice you run through your routes and get on the same page. For example, when you run a 9 route for a fade, you are supposed to shake your defender but then you get vertical. Your DB is going to try and force you to the sideline. You have to lean into them and keep vertical. In the KU game Worthy got walked to the sideline which doesn't give your QB a place to throw. You can see this happening time and time again if you are looking for it. Quinn still hit him and he dropped it.

      There is an example like that in every game which is why you are hearing more and more people saying his his effort isn't there. I just spotted it earlier than most.

      Last year Worthy tried a lot harder, and if you watch his 21 highlight reel you can't find that same level of effort this year. Let me remind you that Casey Thompson was his quarterback. He has been checked out. To say it's anything other than that is silly. We see the same thing with NFL guys. Play hard to get a contract and then coast. Zeke Elliott is on that shit right now.

      

    If I told you what level of football I played you wouldn't believe me anyway so no point in going there. But from someone that has played football I can tell you that if you're expecting what happens at practice to be exactly what happens on game day then you are doing it wrong. There is some reading and reacting that needs to happen during the game. The QB nor the WR shouldn't think they can either run or throw to a specific spot just because they were able to do so in practice. That is a recipe for disaster. Yes there is generally a route that the QB should expect but if his WR is open 2 yards outside the hash instead of right on it he should be able to make that throw.

    For every little critique you have of Worthy I could likely match it with a critique of someone else on the team. But I'm really not in the business of continually shitting on one of our own and I'm not going to act like we are a better team without one of our best guys on it. But for every drop you can show me, I can show you a ball that was overthrown. And you still didn't answer why you think Worthy would play with less effort for the QB he personally went out and recruited to get and also made him his roommate? Why did he take on punt return duties and also wanted to do kick return? Why is he blocking downfield if he just didn't want to play with any effort this year?

     

    And if it's NIL related that has caused this heel turn on Worthy,  then I should also remind some of you someone decommitted from this team, reclassified and committed somewhere else for NIL purposes and then when in the transfer portal we had to outbid Texas fucking Tech for his services. But no smoke there huh.

      No I mean run the routes the way they are supposed to be run. Quit allowing yourself to be redirected. Jump for a ball. Dive for a ball. Come back for a ball. Stick your hands up for a ball. Don't drop the ones that hit you square in the hands. Run hard on routes. Gain a couple pounds in the offseason like just about everyone else does between their freshman and sophomore year. I don't know how you guys don't see how this kid in his current mindset is hurting the team. I am sure wherever he goes he will try hard again because he has to prove himself to that team AND most importantly its a draftable year. 

     

    Lmao at the notion that a WR that is more open than not, isn’t running good routes. Also Worthy is what opens up all the underneath stuff because more often than not he is taking a safety with him. And you are already hedging on him having a better year somewhere else, because you know what will happen if he plays with a more accurate QB. Funny no one was lamenting Worthy’s effort last year but all of a sudden it’s issue #1 for some of you. Do I need to remind some of you who was our biggest player recruiter for Ewers, and who is Ewers roommate. But yeah he is out there dogging it for his QB.

    I don't know what you mean by that. we want players that want to play or Texas, not players that hold the team hostage. His play this year has been less than energetic. he seems to lacks efforts. I say let him go if he is even close to pressuring shit. for fucks sake lets cater to players that give it all and bust ass and want to be Texas players. 

     

    Bijan , Rj and j wittingham among others

     

    Fuck 'em if you don't want to bleed Burnt Orange and white with the NIL we have here. FUCK THEM

    I think it’s stupid to jump to the conclusion that Worthy doesn’t want to play at Texas and it’s equally stupid to want to run off our second best player on offense. Also the portal works both ways, teams are going to tamper with Worthy the same way we tamper with players on other teams. I wish some of you would stop getting your panties in a bunch about it. Thus is the world in the NIL era. Also his apparent lack of effort is a matter of opinion and not fact. Some of you wouldn’t know an overthrown football if it jumped out of the TV and hit y’all in the face. We’ll be a much better team next year with Worthy instead of without him and it’s crazy some of you stupid fucks don’t realize that just because you don’t like the way the kid carries himself.

    No. The pussy cunt bitches are the ones saying QE is "worse than Swoopes" and "a total bust" and that "Sark should be fired yesterday" and all sorts of panty-waste faggotry that beats everyone here to death. My guess is that's you. Have some fucking nuts.

    If I’m lamenting fans for being unnecessarily negative towards the team why in the fuck would you think I’m someone that is even more negative. Please explain your thought process to come to that opinion.  Are you retarded, like not even mildly?

    We're a negative fan base because of wandering the desert for 13+ years after a ton of success. So when we get a little success and take 2 steps forward and 4 steps back, we can be the worst of the worst. Myself included 

    Nah posters like you are really just self loathing pussy ass cunt bitches when it comes to this team.

    Sark's offense is the opposite of Jimbo's offense. Jimbo creates mid 90s NFL schemes where he believes the call will beat any scheme as long as the QB makes the correct (complicated as hell) read. Sark seems to run a lot of plays purposely schemed up to get one WR wide ass open ie shot plays. So if that WR isn't completely open then the options are limited. I love that aspect of Sark's offense in spurts, but he really needs to start gearing the passing game towards giving the QB more options. He's really addicted to designing plays that setup homeruns. We need more singles and doubles in the passing game. 

    I don’t think this is an accurate description of Sarks offense at all. Sarks offense is more of a progression read offense. There are multiple options after the first read. The issue this year is our QB isn’t going through his reads and there is a disconnect between him and his 1st read.

    Counter: good receivers bail out their QB's even when the passes aren't perfect.

    Anyone trying to say the first drop from Sanders is a tough catch hasn't seen that dude play this year. He catches that ball 99 times out of 100. And if he converts that 3rd down and we get out of the shadow of our own endzone early, who knows how that changes the game in the first half.

    That really isn't a counter, because I never said the receivers shouldn't/couldn't, in fact most of them have made tough catches this season. However the expectation shouldn't be that they will do so consistently. They aren't going to make tough catches 100 out of 100 of the times. And you are blaming Sanders on that play when there is no reason Quinn should have threw that ball to his knees to begin with. That is where it starts, it was a piss poor throw.

    Sigh. Listening to the Horns247 Recruiting podcast that dropped today and Roach & Standish are talking about they had multiple commitment stories ready to drop this past weekend. But the disappointing UT loss to TCU stalled those commitments from happening.

    Looks like getting Deuce Robinson is gonna be an uphill battle. When does finally offer the Pimpton kid from North Crowley?

    I doubt the loss really had anything to do with it. It was just their expectation with a win commits would happen. These remaining recruits aren't deciding based on who wins on a week to week basis.

    It doesn't make sense because I understand a little about physics.  I also laughed when the baseball players said the spin of the ball made Nolan Ryan's pitches go up at the plate. 

    I did rewatch the video, there is no push.  The guy has his hand out on/toward Worthy but does not push him or impact him in any way, there is no movement with Worthy's body or reaction to the supposed push.  There is no jersey pull as well from what I just rewatched.  

     

    Well I guess you are just blind. They aren’t blatant pulls and pushes more like tugs and guiding. Really good DB work from HT because you can’t even see it lol

    This doesn't make sense.  If he pulled his Jersey with enough force, he would go forward and Worthy would go backward.   This is not what we saw.   If he pushed Worthy off, Worthy would go forward and the DB would go backward relative to the direction of the forces.  This is also not what we saw.   Worthy simply failed to track and adjust to the ball on that play.  The DB did not. 

    I guess it doesn’t make sense if you don’t understand what you are watching. There is a video in this very thread with every throw to Worthy. Go watch that play and focus on HT’s hands only at the top of the route. He tugs at Worthy’s jersey to make up ground with his right hand and then with the left he pushes Worthy so he can undercut the route. They aren’t going to jump out at you and I’m sure seems negligible on TV but makes a difference on the football field.
