I keep hearing about how Wingo is elite in space. I have yet to see him be elite with the ball in space vs Ohio State and Georgia. You know, when we need him to be. What I saw was a guy who couldn't win against physical defense, falling with the slightest contact, dropping balls, and tripping on his own feet. I see a guy with a shit ton of potential but very little productivity. I'm mad at Wingo because he doesn't do anything we can rely on against quality competition. Again, we lost 3 WR's and 3 RB's. The powers that be would like you to believe it's a money thing. Meanwhile we run the same two back and 3-4 receivers all season barring injury. If you are outside of that you don't play. But yeah, it's about the money.
More maddening to me is playing a 6th round tackle when you have a 1st round tackle twiddling his thumbs on the bench, while you have a QB that operates at a high level with a cleaner pocket. We lost game because of that decision. But yes, watching Baxter run into the back of the line all year was frustrating. Now watch James Simon turn out to be a dog. Par for the course.
Is this amateur hour? "Nature of the position" Lol. Game after game after game with very few targets isn't the nature of the position. Nature of the position is Jeremiah Smith being bracket covered so we have to go to someone else. Nature of the position isn't being off the field for half the fucking snaps. Sark has a small rotation and it doesn't make a shit what you do if he has already had it in his minds who his rotation is. Lockett comes in the game goes and wins a 50/50 ball better than the 84 balls Wingo has been thrown over the last two seasons. You think we couldn't use that vs Georgia? Christian Clark just danced around defenders to the tune of 100 yards but sat on the sideline all season while we handed the ball off to Baxter. Sark had Brooks on the sideline and even started Baxter over Brooks. Sark had Wisner on the sideline. Sark had Cam Williams out there all season whiffing on pass pro and being the most penalized lineman in the country. Meanwhile we had Gooseby sitting on the bench, and then coming in and pitching a shutout in relief of Banks. We could've slid him over to right tackle and maybe we don't lose to Ohio State. One day you will see what's going on here. We don't make a lot of personnel or strategical adjustments unless we have to.
Bone to pick about this one. What DO you say when you have a coach who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder as a playcaller and is currently in Dr. Henry Jekyll mode? That's an awful lot to type. In his bag gets the point across nicely without the fancy medical terms.
The talking heads are trying to paint lil dude as a villain when he just wants to play. He is being pushed out but that looks bad for recruiting so the narrative is he is asking for too much money. He was getting less and less balls at the end of the season so you could see this coming. I would be pissed too if I caught two balls for 104 and a TD vs Arkansas and the very next week I got 1 ball for 19. Anyone who believes in themselves is not going to take that lying down. I hope he does well wherever he goes unless it's against us.
I forgot about Cam. True. He put the team on his back too. Just not as gracefully as the other two. Maybe is was harder to be shifty with all that money stuffed in his pockets.
I did respond to you. Probably because I find you to be the most reasonable, logical, and approachable of the ones I saw doing it. I would surely not approach the one that shall not be named. Lol.
Bro, that wasn't just directed at you. I've been seeing a lot of that and it's a little irresponsible considering I think VY is the greatest college QB to ever lace them up. That dude was superman out there. Closest comparison to that was Vick almost willing VTech past Florida State.
It was different . They both had 12 interceptions but about 8 of Quinn's were batted balls at the line of scrimmage like below. Rarely was he just throwing it to the other team. I don't know what was going on with the right side of our line but pretty much all the deflections and busted protections came from them. Maybe getting too much depth? I don't know. What I do know is Quinn was always a low interception guy, having 6 his first and second year. Then Cam Williams started after Jones left and all the sudden we are getting batted balls every other game from his side of the line. 47:00 mark Also, our resident PFF guys keep telling me that our line was great at pass pro but cut to the 32:15 Mark and just watch Cam Williams. This was a regular occurrence with that dude just like the Ohio State game. Sure we piled up great pass pro stats vs the nobodies but then this would happen vs the good teams. Between that and batted balls I am so glad that dude is gone.
It's not just pocket presence, the line just didn't have any breakdowns. Georgia had to bring extra men to get to him leaving them vulnerable on the back end.
Miami goes how Carson Beck goes. Beck goes through weird stretches of playing bad and there is no football reason for it. I think off the field shit is the reason because he has a lot of female drama. When he is focused though Miami is very good.
