Any body that can't see Stroh isn't ready tells you all you need to know about their football knowledge or lack thereof. Nice kid but not a P4 starter anywhere on a contender or even an average team. Neto may or may not be the answer , but this is on Flood and all the powers that be. Not to bring in portal OL is criminal and it is showing period.

On ESPN Greg McElroy says Carson Beck is playing out of his mind. I heard that right now. He meant on a good way. Yet against UF he was at 56%, 160 yards, no TDs, 1 pick. He was pressured 19% of the time. On those 6 pressures, he was 1-5 for 9 yards and a pick. He completed 64% otherwise at a depth of 3.4 yards. But I suppose no one was open and UF was playing with 14 guys but against us, oh they were awful. Or maybe he said, “screw my game. I’m relying on the defense.” Maybe the WRs took the day off.

The Neto situation is bizarre.

So, what is the fix for this? Is it Arch in general or is it his development has been lacking? I'm a bit confused on that part. Not sure if he's just flustered or if he really isn't seeing these things. I remember that play against UTEP or one of those teams, where it was an out route (I think) to Livingstone on a 4th down in the red zone and he rolls out and is starting right at Livingstone who's open for the 1st down and he keeps staring him down and then reverses field and throws an INT straight to a DB in the end zone. That was such a bizarre play by him. While I don't think he's the biggest problem on this team, his development compared to say a Julian Sayin or that kid Kiffin has at Ole Miss who was a d2 or d3 QB, is baffling to me.

He’s a moron. On that screen, there was a guy in the first window, a guy in the second window too. In all his arrogance, he tells me it's to be thrown immediately until I show him the screenshot with two guys squeezing Endries in that window so then he says the 2nd window is open and that the defender is too locked leg to the play. The absolute risk is a tip and pick. His actions were completely reasonable. So every time you get a screenshot, every defenders reaction is based on the action to the point. If a QBs head, shoulders and feet are down the middle of the field, then certainly in a non-man coverage situation, the defender will act accordingly. So, if that Qb shifts to the right flat, like in the Endries Ohio State shot, then defenders will begin to move so 15 yards of space when the QB is not ready to throw and has to throw it 30 yards, the pass catcher has to catch, turn and run isn’t as open as he appears. And sure, that curl right, imagine the corners reaction when he sees those shoulders and hips turning that way. He has help deep, he has help to the inside. There’s no threat underneath. It is entirely possible the QB identified that early and went to the other side of the field because the numbers were more advantageous. The last one before the screen. If that’s the play I think it is, there is a similar if not identical to the right. There’s absolutely no way to know which side will be open initially. But you can imagine that a right handed QB may look right first. You can pretty much do this all day, every day on zone coverage. There will always be missed QB opportunities. And you’re pretty much a moron if you think on 5 man routes the QB will find the first man open or the only man open every time.

This is true, if Cristobal doesn't got to Miami with his OL coach who's still with him there, Banks and Williams stick with their Oregon commits, imo. Not only is Brockermeyer starting at C, he's excelling there.

After Playstation Vue shutdown it wasn't on any of the other streaming services and I wasn't going to go back to paying over two hundred a month for cable

Ahhh....there you are, just like clockwork.

We've seen for 5 weeks now, this OL continue to struggle. No push against UTEP, SJSU or SHSU. That should've been a warning sign going off in the coaches minds. But because we put up yards and won those games, it slipped past. Even Stevie Lee kept saying so on the live streams, that the OL and DL's are getting pushed around and not playing well. How did the coaches see that and think that everything was fine? I'm not completely sold on Arch, but he's not the biggest problem, imo. Seems almost like Sark completely changed his scheme/offense for this year, thinking he had what he wanted in Arch? I'm not really sure, it just feel different and it certainly looks different. Don't get me wrong, Sark's O has been less than impressive for most of his tenure but this year, I don't even know what to call it. At this point, they might as well just go 5 wide and let Arch be your RB lol. Just joking, but if they want to have more success, he needs to get Endries more involved in the O and stop having so many long developing plays, you don't have the OL to hold up and it's causing Arch to hold onto the ball too long. Get your guys the ball and let them make plays. Screens, hitches, slants, etc. They have to find a way to move the ball more consistently. Give your OL a chance and help them out. Make the reads easier for Arch because for being a QB guru, Sark sure can't see that he is struggling at times to read whatever it is he's calling. It almost feels like he reverted back to his '22 self and started using that playbook again.

I’d love some

amazing examples thank you

Take a look at all the grades from the games you cherry picked from and then tell me you think they’re accurate. You also said “the film matched up”. Which film? The all 22 you’ve made reference to? Got a link?

Cherry picking? I'm providing a list of the top 100 players according to PFF last year, that isn't cherry picking. That is providing detailed data that shows their rankings highly correlate to success and future NFL potential. Conversely for this year Connor Stroh is ranked in the bottom of PFF starting p4 linemen and that correlates to what we've seen on the field. So laugh at PFF if you want but it gives you a baseline of grades to see if the film matches what the grade is, sure it may not be perfect but most of the time the film definitely matches the grade.

You’re cherry picking. They get laughed at the other board. But, sure, Neto is awesome! No wonder a true freshman lapped him.

Can he play LG? Asking for a friend

Free too.

I have full confidence that he will eventually get there with his reads and check downs but it has certainly been difficult to watch. The short and intermediate doesn't come naturally for his eyes or touch right now. Caldwell knew what the defense was throwing at him, where the pressure was coming from and to get it out quickly in space where only his guy has a chance to make a play or nobody does. Wingo converted the 2nd and 22 a crucial clutch play in the game. Aaron Murray did a good job breaking down some of the concerns with Archs eyes and decision making in this breakdown of the Florida game. All of the tools are there, hoping the mental speeds up for him sooner rather than later but I do believe it's coming. Quinn's pre snap check vs AZ St, even when the OL had a penalty to make it 4th and 13 -- was crucial to winning a playoff game. The little things and subtleties a great QB does need to be developed and improved but should come with experience. I thought he'd be much further along mentally as far as clock management, coverages, protections etc but still believe he can take us to the promise land eventually. https://youtu.be/2hMMqc6Soes?si=jKdG0rUPZ5UbDTZT

Laugh at PFF all you want but just look at their top players from last year and you can see it's pretty much all elite NFL quality players https://www.pff.com/news/pff-college-101-the-top-101-players-from-the-2024-college-football-season

PFF?

PFF Grades vs Ohio St 65.6, Neto Umeozulu 58.3, Connor Stroh vs SJSU 64.3, Neto Umeozulu 47.6, Connor Stroh Graded out higher and film matched. But you continue to be wrong, why am I shocked.

Do you excited that he has committed to Texas? Interesting.

Please keep any opinions or thoughts related to politics out of the thread, please.

Yellow check down, red is right read Last year vs Georgia, two guys open - This is thrown to the receiver in middle of field vs Ohio St this year - The throw to wingo in double coverage vs Florida, everything deep is covered and it's obvious early, he should know to go to Moore Jr with the ball. he waits too long and steps up and gets hit and lets off a funky pass late. This curle is wide open split between two defenders, a ball to the chest of the receiver is a catch for a 1st down, instead this is a sack This was a sack as well even though there is a guy wide open if the ball comes out on time Here is that funky screen play that was called that was fit into a 3rd window which should have either been thrown immediately(potential second window) or to the checkdown out in the flat that was wide open with defenders 8-10 yards off and 2 receivers up top Like I've been telling you all that the plays are there to be made but Arch isn't seeing them under 20 years or check down routes. He's too focused on his deep concepts and plays. These are just a few screenshots from different games, there are tons more of the same stuff. Now I'm not asking him to be perfect but these are basic QB plays and reads. As you can see in a lot of these screen shots he has the time and that's a recurring theme amongst the plays not pictured that happen as well. Yes our OL is playing bad and not helping him but he is also not helping them either.

Or, Neto is even worse.

Are you destitute and homesteading an abandoned trailer in Brewster Co? It was easy to get if you cared enough about UT sports other than football.
