Austalgia

Getting out ass kicked .i said don’t let them hang around.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but this is no Iowa State 3 high. This is a bye week installed 3 high that we ought to be able to figure out how to exploit.

Recipe for a defeat. Let inferior team hang around and keep a hostile crowd in the game long enough to give hope. Need to optimize possessions and stay in front of the chains.

And receivers wide open with his head down.

Stupid play call

Short and intermediate passes. Deep ball a wasted play

Just stop throwing deep ball with Quinn

48-13 good guys over swine

I probably should rewatch 1st, but it’s not just the mechanics. The play calling was elite, and Quinn executed it like he should have. So, there’s that. And that is all he can do, but when the pocket was a little sketchy, he can’t handle it. His completions were screens and short scripted passes. That’s fine, just doesn’t say he’s back to pre injury status. And.. again he didn’t have to be. We won, I’m happy with that.

You’re right, something happened since Michigan, maybe the injury lingers or it’s mental, and can’t fault a kid for that. However, while yesterday’s raw stats might elude to Quinn being back, most of the plays were distributing the ball to elite athletes. Again, that is fine, but it’s not a sign he’s back. Throwing over the middle and the seam more accurately, maneuvering the pocket, setting his feet and throwing the deep ball would be a sign that he’s back. That didn’t happen to a great extent. Now the Deandre Moore ball was good and dropped, I’ll give him that. It has yet to be seen that when the screen game isn’t working can he pass is to a victory. Not that he has to impress or prove himself to us, but looking at the stats closer it doesn’t say that Quinn has gotten over whatever he is going through.

So right. That’s what I was arguing weeks ago about the NFL. Everyone then was popping on the Oline (and they should play better), but if you watched closely the play where Kelvin Banks battles at the goaline with that crazy good Defensive end ( forgot his name, and please no one remind me, don’t want to remember) That was a positive play for Banks. He was sliding and punching with that guy at a speedy athletic level. Guarantee that will be a positive play in his film. But everyone was saying how even Kelvin Banks gave up a sack. If you watch an NFL game that is what the rush looks like everytime. It’s a coming ! And you have to step up or get rid of the ball every time. Not hating on Quinn, quite the opposite, wish him all success, but he has to produce that before going to the NFL.

I think the thing is expectations rose when he played so well at Michigan. Then he stopped doing some of those things. The regression made people nervous. Not necessarily for the present, but for what it takes to win championships. Just like Carson Becks interceptions didn’t bite him right away, but they were going to at some point (Ole Miss); Ewers lack of pocket presence and giving short fields and stalled drives with sacks will come back to bite the team when we are playing a better team later (and bit us with Georgia, that was a winnable game). This team can win with Quinn distributing to talent, but if he could win games himself as well, we would be in a tier above the parody we now see in CF. No one is mad at his average depth of target, but the argument is that that is not a testament to Quinn’s talent, rather him being a distributor. When that doesn’t work, like what happened against Georgia, can he step up and go off script and get you a game.

That game was so awesome. Walter Peyton was unstoppable. And can’t remember, but one of the teams had a pass that was un defendable.

Man, Gibson runs so hard. Not harder than the other backs, but dare I say with more talent. He gets a little more than the play is blocked for each time. If he can cure the fumblerooskies (technical term), he might be the missing link to open up the offense.

My brother played against Drew Brees and Westlake. He was a runningback for Pflugerville and they got lit up by Westlake. He was a couple of years behind me. I have 2, I fumbled on the 5 yd line at House Park on a give me touchdown to go up against a rival. We turned it over and didn’t score. However, the worst was I played fullback and linebacker, and we were driving down the field for a go ahead score and I got my helmet locked up blocking a linebacker and he hit hit me after the play while our face masks were connected. I pushed him back pretty hard and separated our helmets and he fell down. I got the 15 yd penalty because they saw me, and we lost the game. I still remember my coach red as a beet and little pieces of tobacco dip flying in my face as he was holding my face mask and yelling at me on the sideline.
