  1. OZ blocking and pass pro was fine. They were solid there last year. The line is better at screening people. They have struggled moving people, which is kind of annoying when I have heard about big humans for 4-5 years. We seem to be coaching toward developing screeners. The lack of aggression on IZ and gap schemes is noticeable. Flood is a size queen, but that is not matching his proficiency. The difference in physicality between the DL and OL is night and day. If we did not see for the last 4-5 years, you would swear a different staff is coaching the offense and that includes the S&C.
  2. I cannot imagine how much money I would have lost to you, if you bet me he would be the designated blocker this year.
  3. said this a week ago or something like that. This kid is physical. He gets after it, which is shocking based on his HS film. He still has work to do on blocking, but it is not for a lack of effort. Always thought of him as an athletic pass catching TE. Just like to see him get rewarded for the dirty work, especially since he is the most athletic TE.
  4. I wouldn’t read much into Ark. They are basically the Taylen Green show. When he is playing well they are dangerous. They are not good when he is off his game. He is also been inconsistent, but his highs are some of the best in the country. Ark showed some quit yesterday. They know their coach is a dead man walking. Ark is going to be a front runner team. Give them early confidence and you will probably have a 4Q game on your hands. Get them down early and your 2nd string will be playing in the 4Q. Hoping to see this play out with Florida on Saturday. They are on the brink
  5. I am on the other side of this. I think we are in the trough of the offensive cycle. Overall defenses are doing a much better job on things like RPOs that led to offenses having the upper hand. Feels to me like the team that can consistently put up 24-28 pts in the playoffs will win the NC.
  6. Biggest shock in that game was Bobo not using the QB run game much. Bama has really struggled with that. Georgia still ran the ball well. Might have led to a little more scoring had he paid attention to the scouting report early in the game. He wore that front down, but a too little too late
  7. Learned: 1. Clemson is not good. Maybe the worst of the preseason rankings. How did so many people get this wrong, myself included 2. LSU moving up on the back of Clemson win was bad. That offense has struggled all year 3. Things can change, but that Georgia defense isn’t looking like a Georgia defense. They are really struggling to get any pressure on the QB. Not sure if secondary is on par or that is result of the lack of pressure 4. Miss State is really improved. Just took Tenn to OT. Offense looks solid. 5. Offenses look behind defenses in general.
  8. Nobody argues that (well maybe a few here). I think people giving up on Arch are the minority. The counter point is that the majority of QBs that struggle in year 1 that end up as insurance salesmen. This is what makes CFB fun and infuriating at the same time.
  9. It can be a lot of things. Anything from the QB just missed, QB expected the WR to break at 10 and come back to 9 on his out and the WR broke at 10 and ended up at 13, to QB anticipated a different adjustment than the WR.
  10. We are not far apart. I just noticed the numbers and saw Manning to Wingo results as an anomaly and said I hope this gets fixed during the bye week, because it would dramatically help the offense. I wish I knew the answer. I certainly dont have the time to look into it. Perhaps @JBJ is on to something with the idea that Wingo is running more option routes
  11. I cannot argue that it simply is luck based on the sample size of 4 games. Worthy/Ewers had an issue I believe his second year. That was fixed the following year. Just might have been one of those anomalies. Like when a pitcher puts up an uncharacteristically high ERA and the answer is simply BABIP was high (ie the hits just found the gaps). I am just wondering why throwing to one of the most talented guys on the roster is one of the least efficient plays Texas is running and hoping it gets fixed during the bye week. I found DeAndre Moore's targets 2025 Season Targets Total Targets: 13 Total Receptions: 11 Receiving Yards: 115 at least that rules out the racist theory I do love your spin on things. It is always black and white, but that is your schtick. I do enjoy it
  12. When you see other starters catching 70% of their targets and 1 below 50%, it stands out. Perhaps I am overthinking it, but it seems incredibly simplistic to say Arch just throws bad balls to Wingo. There is obviously something off between the 2. I wish I knew the answer. Also wish I had the data on Moore as a comparison.
  13. I hate that play. When it works it looks so good, but it is also has been almost picked a few times. Tough play for the QB to see if the defense has sniffed it out
  14. That is complaint I see leveled at Sark occasionally. He does not run a college friendly offense. I dont have the playbook or ever been in a meeting, so I am just parroting. I believe Golden mentioned the issues he had learning the system. There are not a ton of easy spread offense stuff in there. Heard a lot of moving parts and adjustments to coverages. It is heavily influenced by the West Coast offense, so there are a ton of timing routes in there. I think that is part of the Wingo/Arch issues. There something going on there. Wingo is at 28 targets for 13 catches and 190 yards. That is 46% and 6.8 yards/target. Livingstone is 15 targets for 11 catches and 232 yards. That is 73% and 15.5 yards/attempt. Endries is 10 targets for 7 catches and 106. That is 70% comp and 10.6 yards/target. I am guessing there is fault on both side of the Arch/Wingo connection, but hard to figure out what exactly the issue is. I think getting that connection to viable level over the bye week would do wonders for the offense. (I found those targets using AI, so I am not sure they are 100% accurate. I could not find Moore.)
  15. I get it. A scale that essentially goes from 75 to 85 is just not intuitive. How much easier would it be for people if he went 1-10 on his rankings?
  16. This would be so much better if his grading scale made any sense.
  17. Strength of schedule is supposed to be emphasized this year. If Mateer comes back after this 3 game stretch and OU does well, the win is going to boost the Texas SOS. That is a fact, no matter how much Lucci bitches.
  18. agree. At least to me, elite is a very high bar. Anyone wants to say he a very good RB, I have 0 issues. Elite is different bar.
  19. I think he is solid. He has really good vision, but not a guy that maximizes runs. I think the recent IT review with Homer and Scip showed he was near the bottom of the SEC with under 1 yard after contact. Obviously small sample size and vs an excellent tackling team in OSU, but elite is a higher bar.
  20. Does not seem to be affecting the other TEs. I may have missed it, but I do not remember him getting a target this season. He is being used as a blocker and he is the most athletic TE on the roster. I love his willingness to be physical and take on a role that nobody expected from him. I would just like him to be rewarded for doing the dirty work. Your comment is probably more applicable to Wingo with 28 targets and 13 catches. That connection alone is 37% of Arch's incompletions. Hopefully, SHSU is the start of that being fixed.
  21. Towsend continues to be physical. This guy will be a beast before he leaves. Sark needs to reward him with a few catches. He is probably the most physical TE right now.
  22. It is Surly but I do not think people here will be overly concerned about the return of Michael Hawkins to the Cotton Bowl.
  23. UTEP ran a lot of 3 high vs Texas. Nobody has really come after Texas yet. OU might be the first one. Florida likes to run a lot of 2 high.
  24. I have Hero as the biggest surprise. Guy has an 84.2 PFF grade. That is #1 in the SEC among DTs. He was considered depth when he transferred. He is playing himself into an NFL draft pick. I would have Littleton and LeFau next. Perhaps, I had higher expectations for McDonald. He is exceeding them, but I thought he would good based on his play last year.
