  1. perhaps, but the idea that someone was putting out was that Manning is praying the ball around in clean pockets. That is not consistent with the numbers, which I am sure you would agree with. His self-pressure numbers are actually very respectable. I think some the issue is people not understanding TTT stat and the variables that go into it. Even Sark has said that number is up based on his play calling, but few seem to understand that aspect
  2. That is a huge assumption. Like I said I have no idea about his injury or how Arch will react to it. Neither does anyone here, so we should probably just wait and see what happens on Saturday
  3. I know absolutely nothing about the degree of Arch's concussion, so I am will just wait to hear what the doctors say about it. They clear him, he should play. If they dont, he should sit.
  4. i do watch games and Manning has a habit of missing an easy one once a game. He also has a habit of making a few NFL plays. Yes, i quoted an unbiased source as proof. How completely insane of me to do that. I never said it was all Sark, but I do appreciate your brand of illogic ranting to attempt to argue something.
  5. Someone should have it, but I see a 87.3 clean pocket grade from PFF on Arch Manning in a clean pocket post OSU. So cool post.
  6. That is not Sark's M.O. You remember the KSu game? Maalik came out bombing away vs KSU. At halftime Surly was ready to shoot Quinn Ewers and enshrine Maalik into the Hall of Fame. KSU adjusted and Surly crawled into a corner.
  7. Yes.. Lot of misdirection and for the most part the Texas defense is sound. They can throw out DT after DT. Wouldnt be surprised to see the 3 DT set with Simmons on the DL. The offense is scary. IF this season has proven anything, you cannot predict what the offense will look like from week to week. I think it is all about the OL and the game plan.
  8. Texas outgained Vandy 392 to 269. Garbage TD at the end of the game. Vandy had 2 TD drives prior to that of 31 yards and 38 yards. Vandy was not successful with their usual efficient long drives and even lost TOP. Taaffe playing would be big to help with all the misdirection. Concerns: Vandy can get to the edge and Texas has been inconsistent, especially on the boundary. Texas has struggled with TEs, Vandy has a great one. Vanderbilt defense is not great, but they can cause havoc. That is not great with this OL, especially since you cannot anticipate Texas having any run success.
  9. Last I saw Arch was at 11% in self-pressures from PFF, which put him in the top 10% percentile among qualified QBs (very good). Quinn was the 11th most self-pressured QB among qualified Qbs in 2024.
  10. One thing to his advantage is he has not played behind this OL. I mean that seriously. He does not carry any of the scar tissue from being the most pressured QB in the SEC. We may see a more Quinn-like gameplan with him. Arch's ability to throw the deep ball is Sark crack. Even Sark has said he is throwing deep more this year. Calwell might not tempt him as much as Arch.
  11. Caldwell has looked good, but I have not seen him play with pressure. Behind this line, he will likely see a lot of messy pockets. On one hand he has looked good on limited snaps and on the other this is his 5th season, 4th team, only has 5 starts, and has never started an opening game for a team.
  12. I think Texas has an advantage outside. This is game I would expect Sark to test the Vandy Dbs with some screen action. Vandy is going to probably run a bunch of stunts and zone blitzes to confuse the OL, because I do not think they believe they can hold up in coverage. OL issues could be a bigger issue in this game. I do not know Caldwell's game and we have not seen him play with pressure, but there are not many Qbs that will stand in the pocket and take a shot like Arch does. Caldwell has to take care of the football, which has been a problem for him in the past.
  13. i did not think I would see someone say Arch has bad pocket awareness and Quinn's pocket awareness is something people aspire to duplicate.
  14. We definitely do. When I think of game manager it’s a guy that can run the system and take care of the football. Why the 20 TDs and 15 ints does not scream game manager to me, but as we agreed nobody knows until we see it
  15. Might happen, but 20 career TDs vs 15 ints is not screaming game manager. I am just saying nobody knows how this will work out, but some of the comments I see are detached from reality
  16. Pavia has thrown for over 200 yards vs a P4 opponent once in his career at Vandy in 14 starts
  17. Vandy is smart KSU. If Texas plays a good game, they will win. Texas has a big talent advantage.
  18. that based on Caldwell's 5 career starts? Nobody knows how this will work out but lets not pretend he has an illustrious resume. He started 5 games over 4 seasons at 3 schools.
  19. He started 5 games over 4 seasons at 3 different schools. If he turns out to be really good at Texas, they will make a Disney movie about him.
  20. that would be a big move for a player that did not start the opener at Troy last year. Not saying it is impossible, but that would be a hell of a story
  21. Just not how Sark works. The Sark offense is typically a grab bag of plays that are intended to open up a shot play once or twice a quarter. Probably a big reason the OL does nothing well.
  22. Taaffe is huge, especially with Vanderbilt coming up. He will be helpful with all their misdirection.
  23. Feel like this played out already, but we will never learn. Remember losing 3 OL to the NFL and believing run blocking will improve? or Stroh needs to be replaced, he is terrible. Brooks, " hold my beer!" That is not true for every replacement, but it is probable the guy the on the bench is worse.
  24. Vandy is 13th in the SEC in QB rating against, 10th yards per attempt. They are 8th in rushing yards per attempt. Better vs the run, but nothing scary. They are good at causing havoc and the Texas is always willing to allowing it. https://collegefootballdata.com/metrics/season Front 7 Havoc rate (SEC) I do wonder if having a QB that throwing deep is not a strength will have Sark dusting off the Ewer's game plans
  25. there is no logical reason to believe the Texas offense will be able to run the ball on Vandy, but the best run results vs P4 competition were against OU (#4 nationally in yds/carry against) and OSU (#10) and worst was vs Kentucky (37) and Florida (26). It was 2.25 yards per vs MSU (#79). The offense has shown that the opponent does not always matter. Vanderbilt is #35.
