Rumors of hernia confirmed by OTF. Not the injury. Just the rumors. Got it

Not arm or shoulder related. Not knee or last years injury related from what I was told. Some chatter about sports hernia ... but please don't go around saying OTF reported hernia.

How does that even happen?

It is the coach job to enforce his mechanics. As a Colt fan, Peyton would often confess in his early years that Frank Reich his qb coach (ex pro qb) drilled to fix his mechanics. The one guy that all the Mannings used was David Cutliffe. Peyton ran to him after his neck surgery.

Cari is a very impressive young athlete.

The OL's pass protection has been generally good. This was true last season, as well. I don't understand football well enough to understand how a decent pass blocking line is also a poor run blocking line. I have been led to believe [here] that Neto is a good run blocker but missed assignments as a pass blocker. Am I incorrect in having observed Stroh pass block well and run block poorly? That was what I saw on limited viewing. Is run blocking also a question of OL group assignment soundness, or is it a matter of pure strength and quickness? I hope someone here can explain.

Explosive runs are a product of wide receiver / downfield blocking. OL can get you to and through the second level then it’s up to those guys. How many WR screens have been blown up this year, already? 🤘🏻🤘🏻

CJ, this picture is our run game in a nutshell. Hell it’s our offense in a nutshell. It starts upfront. How does this happen vs a team like UTEP. I question the athletic ability of our OLine.

He didn't look like he was running, as much as he was shuffling out there. Then Baker, well I don't know what he was doing.

We suck

Can’t watch this and not get distracted by how slow Stroh is.

If you think that is what this is, you're not paying attention. Calling people fairweather fans for being critical of something that has been a consistent problem, lol. Come on man.

Write CDC a letter.

Searles did a pretty good job here I think. He inherited a horrible situation and actually made the OL the strength of the team in 2013 (albeit a bad team). It's actually insane that OP is 100% right, but nonetheless Flood is either the best or at worst second best (behind Searles) OL coach that we have had in the last 25 years. How Texas is so mediocre on the OL year after year is mind boggling.

This argument made sense against Ohio State but does not explain this game against UTEP whatsoever

Fair weathered “what have you done for me lately” types of fans on here

I'm watching some of his throws against UTEP and comparing them to these in the video, that are the exact same. It's like night and day. Here makes the throws, against UTEP he misses them (and against OSU and SJSU). It truly is baffling.

He could have this personnel and with the mistakes he's made this year, that would not make a difference.

Arch's default skill as a passer appears to be vertical throws aiming to a target while his feet are firm in the pocket. Sark needs to be the catcher that tees up fastballs and change ups around the strike zone. The curveball isn't even making it to the plate. Vertical throws on the seam like go routes and curls, wheel routes, or straight horizontal throws like out routes to the sideline seem to be relatively successful. Arch struggles beyond one-dimensional throws...throwing crossing routes leading the WR, throwing on the run or, heaven forbid, crossing routes on the run. These are his kryptonite. He's a stinking bag of hot garbage on these throws. It's like asking Verlander to make a cross-body throw on the run a la prime Jeter...everyone looks dumb while the ball ends up in the dugout. These are throws that Ewers excelled at, he was the SS that could throw with touch and timing.

Totally agree. Like most people i think he lost his mental after osu. There are a couple sidearm throws against ulm on short throws, but they're still in the right spot

Goosby is our best OL, but I just went back and looked at that play of his where he tried to chop block a guy one on one and Arch got blasted because of it. What in God's name was he even trying to do there? Get up on your man and do something, don't just try to chop block him...that had the to be the single dumbest thing I've seen an OL do and he's our best guy on the OL....

I just made the video to compare his play vs utep. But youre saying you predicted arch would play this bad? Somehow i dont believe that

Most of his mistakes have nothing to do with personnel. His mechanics look noticeably different and he’s completely missing wide open receivers vs G5 opponents. Matthew Golden and Isaiah Bond aren’t catching a lot of the throws he’s attempted so far.
