  1. I agree with this. Quinn was bad, but I dont think I would give a C grade to any position group (maybe outside of Helm). OL was not 7 sacks bad, but they were not good either. WRs had velco jerseys on for much of the game and Georgia DBs out-muscled them all game. RBs missed holes and blocks (forgot who it was, but Blue or Wisner got airborne in bad way trying to pass block). This was not a QB friendly environment.
  2. Problem with all of this is we are thinking statically. I dont think anyone would argue that the Quinn that played the first few games is better than Arch. The Quinn we have seen the last 2 weeks is at least worth a discussion. On the flip side you have Quinn bashers running in here pretending the Quinn we saw the last 2 games is the guy we have seen his entire career. That is just stupid. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Quinn wasnt reading the field very well vs Georgia. He turned down several deeper throws for check downs, which makes no sense given the context of the score. Could Arch have played a better 2nd half, than Quinn? I have no idea. It is possible, not probable, but possible. There is a chance he could have adjusted to the speed after halftime. It also possible Georgia would have had his head spinning all game. Truth is nobody really knows how Arch would have played. Right now I am just hoping this discussion doesnt need to be had on Saturday
  3. These 2 posts back to back are fantastic.
  4. I wonder how many snaps Wingo got. I was at the game, so you miss a lot live. There was a lot shitty things going on with the offense. WRs were struggling to get separation especially in the first half. I would have loved to more Wingo. Just think Bond and Wingo on the field together would be a different dynamic
  5. When Baxter went down this was one of games people mentioned that Texas would miss him. This is not a swipe at Blue or Wisner. Baxter pass blocking would have been a huge asset. Assuming camp reports were correct, he would have been a guy to get you the tough yards. Unfortunately, the only RB that is really suited to run inside is a freshman. He can’t pass block, so you won’t see him vs elite defenses.
  6. Why does this keep coming up? Sark has never needed a running QB. Sark’s offense is not predicated on zone read. RPO isn’t based on QB run.

    Texas RB Talk

    I believe Gibson will get carries in this game. Texas came off playing 2 defenses that can get after the QB. Wisner and Blue have struggled in that area and Gibson is supposedly well behind them in blocking. Until Gibson fixes that area of his game, he is going to see a limited role.
  8. Vandy is not a great defense. It a good match-up for Quinn to get some confidence (in theory). They are not fast in the secondary and they have played like they know that. They play off coverage and concede short throws. Texas should be able to move the ball. Texas should get to 30 pts even if they are mediocre on offense. If they break some tackles underneath, Texas should put up a lot of points. The offense is a huge pain in the ass. They run every formation and every kind of offense imaginable. The whole basis of their offense is to mitigate their talent disadvantage. You have to play assignment sound. You cant let your eyes wonder and try to make plays. Pavia is the offense. 1Q will tell you whether or not to get nervous. If it is like 0-0 after the 1Q, Texas is playing Vanderbilt's game and you should stay away from the game thread.
  9. I think the point is that it seems unlikely that practice Quinn's mechanics look anything like what we are seeing in the last 2 games.
  10. it is much different. QBs dont get hit in practice. Not saying it is or not happening in practice, but it is easy to step into a throw when you know you are not going to get hit. I do agree that it seems more likely that it is in his head, than Sark is a blind donkey and cant see the poor mechanics in practice.
  11. that is the overall season grade, not week 8
  12. I looked at the first 4 series. Texas ran 19 plays by my count. They ran 6 true runs that gained 23 yards. I didnt add up the passing yardage, but given the Texas had less 40 yards for the half, it is probably safe to say that the run game was much more effective. In that back drop you have to ask Sark, why he was calling passes at over a 75% clip. It appears Georgia played Sark tendencies hard. They played the man, not the hand
  13. He is Georgia guy. There is a run play in there where is gushing, but Blackwell fails to read the DL and takes the wrong hole.
  14. I have said this is probably the biggest game in Quinn's career. He has to show something and he has to do it in the 1st half. Leash is much smaller today then it was 3 weeks ago
  15. This is the correct point. Its not like he just had a day where his accuracy was off and he faced pressure. It was a complete breakdown of his fundamentals. This is 2 games in a row. He faced pressure, but he probably created about 50% of it (random guess) with poor pocket presence. This is more about how he has looked, than the stats. Sark is former Qb, he did not want to bench Quinn. Last thing he wanted was to introduce the idea of Arch starting to the fan base. It was that bad. To be honest outside a brief moment in the 3Q, it really did not get better. The 4Q was brutal also.
  16. Vandy does not have the speed to play with Texas skill players. They are not a team that gets after the QB. This should be a game, where Quinn unfucks himself. But until that actually happens, I am not taking anything for granted.
  17. Right now I only care about the Vanderbilt game. I dont care about the draft. Care less about predictions people made about a player 2 years ago. I am just hoping he fixes whatever the fvck it is that is the root of his issues and plays well vs Vanderbilt, so I dont have to go through a bottle of bourbon watching a tight game. (Vandy is the SECs version of KSU. QB going to run around and they are going to bleed the clock, unless you can get up early on them)
  18. Baxter definitely would have helped. His biggest contribution might have come without the ball though. Guy was teh best pass blocker last year. He would be a massive step up from Wisner and Blue in that regard.
  19. Irony of this is OU and Georgia mostly sat back with 2 deep safeties to protect their CBs from the deep ball, so I am not sure how applicable this is to what we are seeing.. People are not walking up and daring Texas to throw deep. Quinn still needs to get his shit together, but the deep ball has not affected the way defenses play Texas
  20. At this point there is no perfect answer. I will say I like that Arch was stepping up to throw. His mistakes are correctable. Does not take a lot of scrambles to realize you cant out-run NFL Lbs like it is High School.
  21. 2 things. I liked it. I thought decent work of disguising it. More to the point, I think that was part of Kirby's game prep. Knowing where Sark/Quinn like to attack and putting a little twist to try and take advantage of their propensity to hammer the flats early. Rarely, do DCs game plan for the flats. It is usually an area of the field you are OK giving up and just rallying to make it a short gain.
  22. Damn it, RPO does not rely on QB running the ball. The vast majority of RPO's involve a hand off with a pass attached. 2ndly, the Texas run game was not that bad vs Georgia. The issue might have been how little Texas ran. Taking out the QBs, Texas had 17 carries for 64 yards. That is 3.76 per. Not great, but that might have increased if Sark tested it. The opening drive started out with 4 runs for 16 yards. The next drive 4 for 17. 1st 2 drives were at 4.1. Georgia response probably killed any chance of sticking with the run, but I suspect Sark wishes he ran the ball more throughout the game.
  23. I think it is time to adjust the opening script to get a little more balanced run/pass. You have a struggling QB and seems every opening script is 60/70% pass. I think the only time Sark got to around 50% was Arch's first start. I feel like the most unexpected thing Sark could is to start with 2 inside runs on the opening series
  24. The Arch sack prior to the strip sack was a bad Sack.. Arch made a freshmen decision to try to out-run a NFL LB. He needed to just throw that away. The interesting thing was I am pretty sure the sack was made by the spy. That is a big advantage for Arch. By the 2nd drive Georgia went to a spy.
