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

[Rotarran9116]

For all of the conversation about Worthy as a player this off-season, he was without a doubt the player that Sarkisian is still directing the passing game though.

That was 2021 X out there Saturday. Thats what we wanted to see and Im glad that guy is back.

Solid movie list. Very solid.

 

[Ketchum]

This. What’s frustrating is we have the skill position players to scheme around bad interior OL play. Sark needs to exploit it.

agreed.

 

[HookemChargers]

Wasn't listed on the participation chart.

So did I just see

I have no idea. He had 18 snaps per PFF.

So did I just see it wrong did QE have a good game? You gave him a B but it felt like a C -. Watching him reminds me of Garret Gilbert. I had such high hopes and then dud. I watch Washington, Colorado, FSU all have QB make big plays and our seems to be a bus driver. Hudson also had a good game this week. What is easiest fix the QB or the IOL?

 

[sodiumacetate]

You ever considered maybe this place isn’t for you? Maybe you’re a little too soft.

Oh, it probably isn't for me anymore... not enough football intelligence and way too many betas and trolls... but if I were soft then I would be the one throwing tantrums and making up derogatory names for the Texas players on gameday.

 

[HookemChargers]

agreed.

I would put Neto and Cam in at OG and then make a change at Center.

 

[troopergojo]

You can fix Ewers footwork

They had the latter half of last season, spring, summer, and fall workouts, and here we are.

 

[Type O]

Seeing Johnathan Gray on the bottom left was disappointing.

Maybe the most overrated high school RB ever.

It's literally the same place it's always been.

He's got the best quarterback coaching that money can buy.

Ewers ain't no Colt

Ewers, to date, is mediocre on his best days

And Colt could hit a long pass

 

[Jeffreyb31]

.. What is the lure of watching Yellowstone on CBS if they take out all of the cursing and violence?

OR the nudity. Why would you want to rewatch Yellowstone on CBS without seeing Beth's incredible rack?

 

[RoaringHorn]

It was tough to watch. Ewers needs to loosen up and have some fun. The whole team does.

 

[AmitySurfClub]

This is why I can't take your real sports takes seriously. You have not just Necessary Roughness on your bad good sports movies, but also Teen Wolf? Sigh. Whatever.

 

[Malibusmostwanted]

Nothing changed in my book.

I see a 9-3 team until proven otherwise.

Are we one win better than last year without Bijan and Roschon? Im not seeing that.

 

[Ketchum]

More like great bad movies.

The interior line play will determine our season. It is so disruptive on offense when the defense can create penetration in the middle of the line. It will also define our ability to be two dimensional on offense, as if we can’t run the ball it places all kinds of pressure on the passing game in short yardage and red zone situations.

Our immobile quarterback(s) doesn’t help either. Even I can game plan against this offense.

 

[Czechdoc]

This summer Did not an OB analyst use his numbers to state we had a very respectable year along the offensive line.. I Countered that the offensive line was average in the bit 12 for which I got a lot a of grief. Where can this thread with its crow eaters be found.?
thanks

 

[MauiHorn]

Agreed…but my point is you can win without throwing it down the field.

Totally agree
.

 

[wfoot1]

Saying Quinn struggles to make deep connections is very kind. He does not make them. Period. New paragraph.

 

[RCPERK2]

Seems like a 9-3 team. Hope it is good enough to get B12 championship game.

 

[sodiumacetate]

You completely missed the point and haven’t looked at the numbers…Ewers is great at the short and intermediate passes. We have the RBs and WRs to exploit it, so do it! We don’t have to throw it 6 times 20+ yards down the field to win.

FSU just spanked LSU with the game plan I’ve been touting, and their OL was just as shaky tonight.

 

[qwanseeker]

Man, that hurts the eyes. You need to enable dark mode.

 

[wfoot1]

Wyoming's QB Peasley will be lucky to leave our game still standing if they use him as they did against Tech. He took a beating. No one can withstand that kind of abuse week after week.

 

[Type O]

Sorry, but that isn’t derogatory to me, and I normally agree with your takes. This is football. You, the players, the coaches, everyone…need to be thicker skinned than that.

 

[sodiumacetate]

Man, that hurts the eyes. You need to enable dark mode.

I go back and forth... issue I have with it is that it makes the orange look too much like Tennessee orange to me.

Ketch is referencing Peyton Stearns, the Texas Ex who played on the two-time, national champion Texas women's tennis team last season. Peyton also won the US singles title last season. She decided to turn pro after her sophomore year. Stearns has advance to the top 16 players in the US Open. Tomorrow she takes on #9 Marketa Vondrousova from the Czech Republic.

Although she will have her hands full in tomorrow's match with Vondrosova, Peyton is fun to watch. Intensely competitive and a high motor. Here's a good interview where she discusses her rapid advance up the charts, a little shout out the Texas fans at the Open, and her time at Texas.

Peyton Stearns Interview

Got it, thanks. I am guessing the first picture of "Burgers & Cheesesteaks at Meat + Cheese Project in Houston" was supposed to be a pic of Peyton making the round of 16 at the US open?

 

[HookemChargers]

why does he remind you of Gilbert?

why does he remind you of Gilbert?

I had high hopes of him being the next great one with his high ranking and then when you watch you just get so frustrating and leaves you just shaking your head. I watch Colorado, A&M, OU, FSU, Washington, North Carolina, USC, Purdue, all have QB that made easy thows. Some of it is the IOL but he has to make those around him better. He does not play like the highest ranked player of all time. He plays like a 3 star. It is hard to believe the guys behind him cant make those throws. When your guy has someone beat by 5 yards you just lay it out for them. Sam would have hit that throw.
