Takes a ton of practice and sound assignment football.  Lot of options no pun intended requiring the QB to be really cerebral and "quick". I dont think that plays in to Arch's skill set.  Arch is more power and not twitchy , plus it requires the OL drive block and sustain the block one on one, we dont really do anything like that with our schemes.  Our go-to is outside zone.  From what ive seen of Coastal Carolina who also runs it, is they have/had more athletic QB's.  Vince ran it.

Yeah I think something like that requires you to practice it in the off season not just implement it on some random week. But what do I know? Very little. I just watch this sport.

Arch can be a fast runner if he wants to. Since the OL is not maintaining a clean pocket, I feel like taking Arch out of the pocket and making the defense have to pick their poison between Arch, the runner, and Niblett just might work. I don't mean this as our go-to play but perhaps sprinkle it in from time to time when we need short yardage for a first down. We don't seem to have a short yardage 3rd down play in our playbook right now.

There was some game in 2010 where we were down like 7-3 at the end of the second quarter. The guys behind me had been screaming at the D and Muschamp all game up to that point. The D gave up a four yard rush or something and one guy yelled out "Get your head out of your ass Muschamp!", and I turned around and said "It's almost halftime and we've given up 60 yards of offense" (or whatever it was). His reply was "Yeah but we're losing". I think these people are just morons. 

Yeah, now you’re making me feel bad for flame broiling that other hooplehead’s ballsack with defensive data.

I heard some SEC chucklefuck spout off today about Arch’s mechanics and throwing off his back foot.  That’s so low on the list of Arch’s problems right now.  I forget that so many people are just drooling mongoloids.  Like, we used to need ditch diggers, but soon we won’t. What are we gonna do with these simpletons?

Are you suggesting that Sark should find a way to revert back to his 1996 self and secretly play in Arch's place? I think that would work.

 

 

I wonder what he would think/how he would feel if he had to play behind this line?

Calling out the defense for KY is certainly a take.  I'll repost some of a comment I made on the game thread post-game

Football is complementary. You think for one second PK doesn’t know what’s going in with the offensive side of the ball?  He absolutely does, and so he knows the one thing he can’t do is allow the opposition to get quick points in buckets early and bury things before they ever really get started, particularly when we are on the road. So he sets up the defense to prevent that. The expense is that you get a lot of the dink and dunk and underneath stuff that KY got tonight (and Florida got at the beginning of that game, and hell, OU was getting early as well). You then tighten up as the field shrinks, as we generally have and hold them to minimal points for their efforts save Florida. 
 

Setting up a defense vulnerable to tons of big chunk plays and sudden scores would be a fucking disaster for this team. 
 

PK is the one coach who seems to know what the fuck he is trying to do strategically, given the abilities of his unit and the overall team.

You're describing Landry's Flex Defense, which as I recall, took us a long ways back in the day.

Fred was rarely in a 3rd and 13.

Fred had me when he talked about playing OU; "They better have their head gear strapped on tight!'"

 I think this needs to be the staple of the offense, to get Arch in motion, by design, and away from a "pocket" that looks more like a jail break. I would think in HS he threw on the run a lot and is more comfortable when he's moving, by choice.
