  1. Arch was unexpectedly and alarmingly bad. Concerned with his mechanics. Odd side arm pushing motion vs his quick release. I was calling for arch over quinn last year. Super concerned that sark new manning wasn’t better than an injured quinn. We were worse than they were good. Also our backs have zero burst. I don’t get why we wouldn’t try a different back. There were holes missed because we were dancing and/or weren’t fast enough. Love wisner but he is not a rb1. Baxter is a good story but he’s running in quicksand right now. Looked good in pass pro at least. Maybe manning was a one-off. Not giving up but about as a bad loss for considering his arch looked.
  2. Lots of OSU won’t do well because… Set your expectations against their best game versus counting on underperformance. We’re either the better team that can handle their best shot or we’re not. Sayin throws darts. Quick release and accurate. That’s a great skill to lean on as a young qb. We’ll have to take away his first read or we could have 4 Reggie Whites and it won’t matter. TE leaking and quick slants/outs will also wear us out. If we do the 10 yard cushion crap, he’ll Colt us all game. Disguise, discipline, and force him to throw where we want. We’ll have to overwhelm him early and often to shake him mentally vs hoping he forgot to throw or that he’ll sit back and survey. They may no huddle to offset our coverage and rotation of fresh bodies. I loathe osu because they always get a cheap and lopsided whistle while having elite talent especially at home. Be ready for a dog fight and if Sayin or the current guys happen to not be ready, enjoy it.
  3. Nice try buck-o 😉
  4. I don’t know CTJ but I appreciate the passion if not the delivery. Objectively, CJ has a long way to go in his reporting. It’s rarely nuanced and imo he blurs his opinion and sourced information in his delivery. At times, conflating the two. This is observational not critical. It’s impressive that he’s done so well this early into his career but his style strikes me as someone that thinks they’ve arrived versus being on the curve. He also seems selective with whom he responds but that again comes with experience. Interacting effectively with an audience can be as important as the information being delivered. I hope behind the scenes he is absorbing all he can from the eclectic group he is with because there’s a ton of wisdom to be gained. All CJ had to do was what Bobby, leading by example, did and include a plausible option as to why the changes took place in the initial post. This is not for any one poster’s sake but we all gain from a thoughtful or thorough article. Again, experience matters. Not dumping on the dude and I believe he has the talent to get there if he has the willingness to learn/grow. I do think CJT took the article way too literally and since he is apparently well connected, knows there is a limitation as to what is known but also to what “can” be shared. I absolutely get his frustration with the canned phrases and asleep at the wheel replies. He was seeking clarity and got magic 8 ball replies. It has to be frustrating having real skin in the game when most only have skin on a keyboard. Kudos to Bobby for the context and perspective. I really like him giving CJT is due without selling out team or being defensive as most other site mods(people?) would. We all benefit when we listen to understand vs waiting to respond. And, 💯 on 🎯 about counterproductive. TL;DR 🤘🏽
  5. Higher collective or maybe consistent floor with a lower ceiling unless someone breaks out. The oline fatigue may make the lower ceiling moot if we truly have 2.5/3 waves of solid floor to bring in.
  6. We keep saying this but we have no depth and 4 question marks heading into the wonder-kind’s first season as a starter. It’s all relative but Flood has gotten a pass in my opinion. It’s incredible that we have this line for that QB. I don’t want to hear how long they’ve been here. Very few meaningful snaps save for Goose. Well, DJ but he hasn’t shown enough at this point to not be a question mark imho. We’ll see but the last thing I expected was uncertainty at oline during the Arch period. 🤷🏽‍♂️
  7. For those of us that only know you’re, do you have a bio somewhere? I checked the profile but didn’t see it.
  8. What is the Tx class equivalent please? 5a?
  9. 2 different things here. Very low probability of anything happening. 101% was hilarious. If he actually gambled and there’s objective proof, he has to go. It doesn’t matter if he actively shaved points or anything else. He opened the possibility of it. It’s still a nefarious world. If you don’t preserve that part of the game, bring in Vince McMahon. We don’t get to pick and choose how we feel about the rules. We enforce them. If they no longer make sense, we legally modify them, or stop having them. It surprises me how many people want to inject their feelings, beliefs, or gut on rules.
  10. Uh oh, corners of mouth look dry. Grab that ad and drink it… 😏
  11. Point is that they’re trying to protect his career not appease ausmojo. Why do pro teams add missing pieces for the stretch run? Let em wait until next year…
  12. They’re strong in the trenches and lagway is a deep ball nightmare. That’ll keep us in an honest box and they have very good, maybe great backs at what they do. Their secondary was decimated by injuries last year and ours lost 2 NFL picks. Too many unknowns for all this 16-0 nonsense. Our line also hasn’t proven anything and is very inexperienced in meaningful snaps. We might turn out to be great but we have a lot of unproven at key spots. Florida is a dark horse if lagway stays healthy.
  13. I keep forgetting about Terry. Positions aside, what do you see elite about his skillset. I feel like I haven’t read much about his potential. I think I’ve unintentionally summed it to jack of all trades, position of none, tweener.
  14. Maybe the most important or irreplaceable person on any team.
  15. Partial to the crescendo of welcome to the jungle. It’ll amp you up but maybe that’s not what you’re looking for Gerry 😴 Hamilton. Just having fun.
  16. The song is terrible. Slow and sleepy. Remove the video and its audio melatonin. How does the king of crotch clipping choose this…
  17. They should never feel like they’ve arrived because the destination changes every year…
  18. This isn’t the flex he thinks it is but oh well.
