https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/aj-mccarron-sounds-alarm-alabama-nil-reality-after-florida-state-loss Bama is the #2 team in talent composite with 14 former 5* and 50 former 4* on roster. FSU is 19th with 1 former 5* and 36 former 4* on roster. It ain't NIL or recruiting. He's just sad that it would cost $20 million just to have the RB depth Bama used to have. That's a Bama education at work, folks.

I guess you have to have a subscription or something. Can’t find that. It would be interesting to track though. Thanks

That’s a manly throw. Don’t think Patricia is getting enough credit for causing Arch issues. That was a helluva game plan Arch was navigating without any tape history of him at OSU.

Good stuff by Chase Daniel to breakdown the quarterback position this weekend.

Bro I don't want to argue or debate with you. I'm whatever you say I am. I lack whatever maturity you think. Have a nice day🤘🏿 You're right. That works for you?

Wanted to share my final thoughts on Arch Manning ahead of the non-conference action over the next three weeks. I think Arch Manning will be fine. The quickest way to elevate his game is to truly trust that offensive line which played admirably against Ohio State last Saturday. Trust in the offensive line will do a few things: 1. Slow down the game, allowing Arch to read his keys instead of skipping chapters to find a check down. 2. Allow Arch to play comfortably within the pocket, cleaning up the mechanical issues we saw due to a sped up internal clock. 3. Provide opportunities for routes downfield to develop and come open downfield, something that happened on Saturday but was not given a chance as a result of some skiddishness. Three weeks to improve and as a betting man, the one thing I am not going to do is bet against Arch Manning.

ou tickets are sold. Sorry, unable to edit original post.

You respond originally with a dissertation(but you’re not defensive lol) that includes questions and as a courtesy I address them but you’re maturity says to reply so that you can insult the perceived length and close with a cliche? 🤣😂 You are a hoot.

I think we lack the short area quickness, burst, “make a guy miss” element but not necessarily the straight-line speed element. There is no J.Blue acceleration on the current team. There is no S.Bolden zero-to-top speed in a blink guy either. Nor is there a guy with the speed / cuts of route running that we had in Bond or Golden. That is how you get open most of the time. D.Moore may have 10.6 speed, but he doesn’t have great quickness in and out of routes, nor great deceleration (stop-n-start). He’s a straight line guy. Wingo has elite straight line speed (10.5), and has great burst / acceleration, but he runs upright and kinda stiff. He is a guy who can win in wide space, but not short area space. I would not call the 2025 team a bunch of plodders, but they are not a team of guys who win with quickness / burst, not make you miss elusiveness.

ssshhh. Don’t tell bama

Gruden would be as successful as Bellichick.

I have a feeling North Carolina's season will largely dictate how many opportunities long time NFL coaches will get to coach a college team moving forward.

I think Gruden would be a disaster at Alabama and pretty much any other big time college program.

Sark said on 3rd and Longhorn (and I believe him) that the Texas job is the best college job because of everything that you have, including the city of Austin. Financial resources, fan support, recruiting base, Austin having both big city as well as college town feel, no pro football team, the list goes on. Felt like as he was talking he truly believed it makes his job easier because recruiting to Austin isn't as hard as say college station.

They couldn't use the correct icon/emoji for Texas? A cow really?

Nice pocket passer. 😆 I hope his offensive line does better and that he scrambles more to get a pass off and not just run so that it will be easier to evaluate him. But, boy can he run.

Cool story but I'm not reading all that. Let's just agree to disagree and I wasnt defensive about anything.

FWIW

I don't know if these are the same clips, overlapping, or different but here's an extended version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYDjuferfmY I agree with what Dan's saying. If Arch completes his short throws underneath or hits the open receivers, his game looks much better overall. For instance, 3rd and 3 from the 9, stood out on rewatch. Spencer Shannon runs an opposite crossing route to Wingo. If Arch does hit Wingo, it's likely a first down. Ty Howard locks onto Wingo and leaves Shannon running across in the opposite direction. But IF Arch hits Spencer Shannon in space, in stride, he might be able to turn up field and get in the EZ.

Hoped you wouldn’t get defensive but alas. Not a strength and little push. If this were accurate we score at least twice in short yardage. They gave us rushing between the 20s because we don’t have the backs to make them pay. Most of the rushing was empty calories between the 20s. Taaffe can’t compete physically with Downs. They’re in different zip codes. Much of the freedom to run the different disguises/defenses is the versatility of Downs. Love Taaffe and we’re lucky to have him. Zero coaches in the history of ever would take him over Downs unless he is an enormous debit in the locker room of which I haven’t heard. If you measure anything by I saw it happen, insert low number, then you could say you’re right about everything. Arch had a crap game. Even Quinn, often to self sack, stepped into the pocket. It’s what you do once you’re there. 3 times as validation is super funny. Saying a coach tailors a plan for their player says nothing. The outlier is the one that doesn’t and in this game, Sark intentionally tailored it to the short and intermediate game and not the deep pass so you were absolutely wrong. Now you’re extolling your prognostication expertise by downplaying the risk at Florida. I think loud crowds impacting games are largely mythical if a team is elite. Strong O/D lines with good backs are a real threat especially with our primary backer still struggling with run fits. OU after isn’t ideal either. If we’re competing for a championship this season, we should win but that doesn’t eliminate that they’re one of the teams we need to take seriously unlike the next 3. Spare me the coach talk about every team gets our best. Have a great day. I’m not going to reply to anything else. I’m happy that you enjoy and support the team. I apologize if I originally rankled you. It just tickled me. 🤘🏽

You say after beating LSU like that’s something that will happen. Florida goes to Death Valley the week before and takes on the same LSU squad that just handled Clemson in the road. It’s very probable that Florida is coming off a loss at Death Valley when we play them.

A different perspective from Dan Orlovksy. Dan says it was not Arch playing poorly as much as Matt Patricia dialing up NFL concepts that Arch had never seen. It is a good 2min 30sec video. Instagram link
