  1. Fire would be hyping his teammates up after big plays and lighting a fire under their asses when they’re getting their asses kicked. Arch laid it on the line against Florida, but a big part of being a leader is holding your people accountable. The coaches are responsible for that too, but it hits different when it’s peer to peer.
  2. Sark is either pissed or mentally checked out. He hasn’t won a title yet, so it doesn’t make sense to lose your drive. He probably realizes that his perceived big time talent alpha QB is actually mentally fragile and can’t handle being THE GUY on this stage. Arch is playing better, but this team lacks fire and that is exactly what Arch exuded last year. I expected some level of Tebowish fire from the guy, but instead we get timid/indifferent Hudson Card energy.
  3. The recruiting is an issue, but Flood made guys like Tope Imade serviceable and Christian Jones into a draft pick. The development has been lacking lately too, so it’s likely an overestimation of what they were working with. Big coaching error from Sark and Flood. All Sark can do at this point is manage an offense that doesn’t require more than 2 seconds of protection and hopefully find a running game along the way. We’re boned.
  4. Painful is people acting like there are no ways to fix these issues. We will invest heavy in OL during the offseason and things will likely improve to make the most of Arch’s final year (if he stays). We will likely pursue more speed in the offseason as well and let some guys walk who overestimate their value. Portal recruiting in the trenches failed this year, but that’s part of the risk in going heavy portal. How a freshman AA has such a hard time against the run is beyond me.
  5. This is the likely issue. We took shit for granted and lost our edge as a result. The talent is there to fix it at most positions, but likely not this season. Let’s hope he realizes the issues and adjusts before it turns into a tailspin.
  6. Not all 5 stars are created equal. DK Moore would be getting significant PT on our team right now. Dallas Wilson as well. Wingo played a lot last year. Wingo has always been more big, straight line athlete than refined WR. He has never played physically relative to his size either. Lockett is the only actual 5* we signed and he isn’t really a separation receiver, so he needs to add weight to not get bullied so much off the line or at the top of his routes.
  7. It’s never as bad as it seems and never as good as it seems. The worst part about yesterday is that it was a confirmation of many of the concerns that have been showing up to varying extents in each game this year. Sark gives a shit, and he has a lot of options to throw at the issue. The downside is that there are no gimmes left to workshop different options and we wasted many valuable snaps on Stroh and Hutson. That Cojoe injury hurts because he probably could have played LG better than that shit we’re seeing. Flood needs to simplify the scheme and get these guys playing aggressively. Find a blocking scheme Neto can execute consistently and let his aggression be the example for the others to follow. Arch is a playmaker/athlete QB playing in a strict timing offense. He’s probably not ready to execute the gimmes of this offense so everything looks even harder as a result. He looked mentally fragile again yesterday as well. He should have been lighting up his guys for playing substandard all game. Sark has significantly overrated the quality of his team on both sides of the ball. Too much pride/money on the line for things not to get better fast.
  8. I'll go back and watch the game once I get rid of the rest of the vomit taste from my mouth.
  9. Quinn would have taken 10 sacks yesterday, but maybe Sark would have been more willing to run more quick game with him back there. Why we didn't do more to get the ball out fast is beyond me
  10. Even last year’s highly talented, highly experienced, Joe Moore finalist squad wasn’t all that good at moving people. He’s gotta go this offseason for this offense to unlock its potential
  11. The OL and DL are the reason why this season is lost. At least they tried to address the DL, the OL is fucking abysmal. It’s only gonna get worse from here.
  12. MM is not a burner at all. Generally plays with good feet, physicality, and discipline though
  13. It’s more about getting your attention than putting out quality content
  14. My post assumes Stroh will play, because, you know, the coaches keep putting him out there. They also believe in OL continuity. He’s not great, but I’m choosing to be optimistic on his potential. I don’t think Neto is the solution, but as stated I would like to see others get more of an opportunity.
  15. I’m not a Stroh advocate, he’s generally bad with limited athletic upside. He’s very strong though and it shows up sometimes. I was a Neto believer, but he couldn’t beat out Hayden Conner and lost his inside track position to Connor Stroh. No longer a Neto believer. I’d like to see someone else get into the rotation, but I understand why that won’t happen, so I’m hoping for the best with the red headed kid with the gracefulness of a boulder.
  16. Neto has gotten multiple opportunities and has failed to impress every time. Hoping for him to get more PT is hoping his recruiting ranking would lead to better performance. I’m wondering why guys like Jaydon Chatman haven’t done more to push for PT.
  17. No idea, but he’s probably already ahead of schedule as far as his development. Cole Hutson is more than ready to be written off in my mind though. Plenty of time and game reps and he’s still average at best. Stroh could learn how to use his athletic limitations to be effective as he gets more game reps.
  18. Stroh is a first year starter with a real ability to move people. He also has horrible feet. Let’s give him a chance to grow before writing him completely off.
  19. I’m more of a chicken/seafood guy unless it’s prime or some level of Wagyu beef, but it seems like people will stop buying as much as the prices continue to climb and it’ll eventually level itself out. The NWS fly seems like a bigger issue.
  20. Believe it or not, but once you have enough money, other things, like prestige/legacy, begin to matter a hell of a lot more.
  21. Pretty sure Anthony Hill looks a bit less explosive this year. Torre Becton and the entire S&C staff must go now. Abject failure!
  22. I really dont give a shit if we blow them out right away. I'd rather see Arch make throws confidently, then hopefully eventually make those confident throws accurately with consistency. Don't worry about making big mistakes that potentially cost us the game. They won't. This is a win even with 2 pick sixes. Relearn your muscle memory and visualize the throws you wanna make where you wanna make them.
  23. Simmons has been getting pressure, just not sacks. The coverage isn’t good enough to make QBs hold on to the ball longer. Jaylon Guilbeau can’t cover and can’t really recover, so he plays off so he doesn’t get beat over the top. Not just him, but lots of space underneath where we just try to rally and tackle.
  24. I think he played high school ball as an 8th grader or something.
  25. Sark is not a sunshine pumper. He's a fiery guy. He's not going to publicly throw his QB under the bus in a harsh way. On top of that, Arch has shown himself to be mentally weak so far. The swagger he showed in spots last year has completely gone away and it is infecting the rest of the team. No one on the team plays with confidence because he looks fucking lost half of the time. I'm not even seeing players try to fire him up, almost like he's untouchable.
