Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Surprise! Issues exist)

[TexSon74]

Texas played in a national title game in 2009 with a bad OL.

I'll take Colt over Quin any day.

There is something intangible about Ewers that just seems off. Maybe it’s skipping his senior year in high school. Maybe it’s chasing money and fame at The OSU. Maybe it was the hair last year. Maybe it’s the Lambo. Maybe it’s having to coach him to be a leader. Maybe it’s having to calm him some at halftime as Sark said in his post-game interview on KVET. Maybe it’s the combination of all of that. Something just doesn’t feel right.

Seems a little fearful in the pocket. Think that affects his foot work on deep throws.

Ketch great 10 thoughts I thought one of your best lists but question have you ever seen the Tom Cruise football movie All the right movies I think it would qualify
As for Quin I think this week will give you a better idea of what he can do hopefully he has a big game & quits all the doubters.
Ketch do you have a top 14 Big 12 list I think top 2 are OU & Texas

 

[HookemChargers]

Let me know when you're going, maybe we can meet up for lunch!

I would love for them to play two QB if one is not on his game.

 

[Ketchum]

Would you rather get these issues fixed now or play Bama without them fixed?

Better not to have any issues at all but we are where we are. Campbell showed his potential between bonehead plays.

No real hope for Majors. Was hoping he’d show improvement this year but he’s simply not athletic enough-period. Hard work only gets you so far.

Jury is still out on Connor but not looking good so far.

That part of the line just isn't good and probably can't be fixed in a week.

 

[Ketchum]

Quite frankly, yes! Statistics are not made for small sample sizes like 1 football game. These sports rating systems are design for exactly like you said to trick you is instead of truly informing you. Easily the biggest misinformation campaign the last 15-20 years. All it has done is to make people who create them appear informed or intelligent, when in actually it’s misleading and pretentious. Projecting Ewers performance as anything other than blah, is not informing me…if I watched the game.

The eyes lie all the time. Important to note.

 

[Ketchum]

He could’ve? 🤔 I REALLY don’t think that’s the case, unless you’re aware of some contractual provision that allows such an out, in which case, why have we never seen it exercised before, by anybody?

It's a safety issues. Yes, it could have been heavily suggested.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum do you think there is a Mahomes effect on mechanics? Mahomes slings it, arm angles, no look passes, etc. Guys want to emulate the pros…Does this have an impact on guys like QE working on mechanics? Just heard a national guy on Sirius XMU say QE was 1 of 2 thinks he took note of in week 1. Basically said everything that’s been said about missing deep balls, footwork, etc ‘Needs to get corrected in a hurry…Missing deep shots even in conf play will hurt them…’ And why wouldn’t Sark demand QE work on mechanics if he’s a QB whisperer?

Yes, just like Steph Curry has impacted the youth hoops scene.

 

[Ketchum]

Sark has access to same numbers on QE effectiveness as passer on specific areas of the field as you do, so I blame him as much as QE for not making play calls that constantly take advantage of QEs strengths and the elite "separation talent" of his receivers. To throw the deep ball as often and ineffectively as it clearly has been, just puts the offense behind the chains. Me, I would rather take what the defense gives me, all day. With elite receivers, this should be a no brainer. Why keep banging the deep ball drum?

Sark would tell you it has to happen, for better or worse, no matter what.

 

[Ketchum]

I'll take Colt over Quin any day.

of course.

I definitely considered, but ultimately didn't think it was bad enough to make the list.

It's just a good movie. .

 

[Coelacanth]

Jonathan Brooks

under-appreciated & under-rated

Granted, he dropped that one pass. But he'll be our best RB this season.

Very possibly.

We suck until we don't

 

[Outkast22]

The eyes lie all the time. Important to note.

Sure. And the QBR sh*t never lies. Got it. So I should compile a list of all the qbr’s this weekend and that should tell me what I saw was right or wrong. All this time, 40+ years, I had it wrong.

 

[aarontxex]

IMHO, in addition to the whipped cream scene, seeing their teacher at the scrip club makes this a poor choice of a “bad” sports movie. I will watch it. Even the smart girl is hot.

Bottom line, if you don’t have an above average OL, you will never be an elite or top 10 team. Until we solve this riddle, who cares about QE not being able to throw 35+ hitting his receivers in stride.

That being said almost all of long throws force our receivers who beat the defender to literally stop in their tracks to either make an incredible catch or prevent an int.

Yeah, I think the interior OL needs an infusion of better talent.

 

[aarontxex]

Texas played in a national title game in 2009 with a bad OL.

Yes, this is true. Shows what a transcendent QB can do.

 

[aarontxex]

Give me more Jayden Blue

Fine with me--we're going to need both he and Brooks this weekend. I was pleased to see Baxter--really looks like he's going to be the player we think he is (I know it's rice and early) but he runs like a very talented back. Hope he's not out too long.

No. 10 - The List: Best Bad Sports Movies ...
This isn't a list of the best sports movies. You're not going to find any Rockys or Bull Durhams or The Naturals on this list.

Instead, you're going to find bad movies that turned out good for some reason unique to them.

These are movies that the mainstream has forgotten, but we haven't. We love them for reasons that don't entirely make sense.

10. Johnny Be Good

Anthony Michael Hall might be more nerd than QB1, but the way that the schools cheated in this movie to get him to attend their school was so on the nose that schools in the SEC didn't blush as much as they looked over their shoulders.

Great call on Johnny Be Good @Ketchum

One of the greatest pre game speeches in the history of cinema.
Best line "Ok, I'm done talking to God. Now I'm talking to you."

It takes time for talent to develop. In most cases 1 year isn't enough.

 

[Ketchum]

Yes, this is true. Shows what a transcendent QB can do.

No doubt.

I haven't seen this movie in forever.

He was back at practice today.

 

[Ketchum]

Wonder if back at practice is gully participated.

 

[Outkast22]

You do what you want to do.

No that’s the advice you provided, QBR guy.

 

[Ketchum]

No that’s the advice you provided, QBR guy.

technically, I'm passing efficiency guy.

 

[Type O]

Now let's not go that far.

Sam’s arm is/was weaker, and that’s a fact. Saw it his entire career at Texas. His footwork was better than QE, but not his arm strength.

 

[Buda Horn]

Lucas is a severely under-rated enjoyably watchable bad sports movie.

And the best part of Over The Top is the fact that the big prize for the winner is a semi-truck.

 

[Type O]

Smh

Shake it all you want…Travis threw the ball over 20 yards in the air ONCE the entire game. Are the FSU fans bitching today that they didn’t throw the ball downfield more? I doubt it.

 

[Ketchum]

Sam’s arm is/was weaker, and that’s a fact. Saw it his entire career at Texas. His footwork was better than QE, but not his arm strength.

Yet, he threw a better deep ball.

 

[Ketchum]

Is Lucas a sports movie?

 

[Buda Horn]

Is Lucas a sports movie?

I say yes. The central plot point is Corey Haim trying out for the football team and eventually making the team and getting to play in the climax moment of the film.

 

[wchi]

I will take QE over Klubinak. Sorry Ketch..

 

[Ketchum]

I say yes. The central plot point is Corey Haim trying out for the football team and eventually making the team and getting to play in the climax moment of the film.

I just didn't think it was a sports movie, even if the climax scene is in a football game.

Is Brewster Millions a baseball movie?

Is Back to School a diving movie?
