BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
From my general experience with the game, I’d prefer larger, fatter guys to have to chase me around the field attempting to block me. That was always to my advantage. That’s a screen play. If I read it sooner rather than later, the play was likely dead. 2nd and 3rd level defenders don’t keep dropping after they’ve read screen. If you “know” it’s coming, then it makes blocking the defender incredibly difficult as you get caught between setting up the play and blocking the man. At least that’s my line of thinking.

BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
In order for a screen to work, the defenders have to be caught unaware. No matter the defensive play call. Blitz or not it’ll come down to play recognition.

BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
If everyone was expecting it, it would have never worked. It was drastically different than the Orlando call. One was terrible, the other overly criticized.

Patrick Mahomes
The Chiefs Oline was terrible the year the Bucs beat them in the Super Bowl. It’s not great this year. That’s somewhat of a recurring theme. As someone mentioned the Clyde Edward’s draft selection was awful. As for Worthy, he got hurt game 1 this year so that set him back. His contested catch rate is higher than Kelce and Rice. His drop rate is lower than Kelce and Rice. He’s 3rd in targets. Dude had 12 TDs and over 1,000 yards when including the playoffs. Hes not 100 catch, 1,500 yards, 15 TD kind of guy. He has had a disappointing year, but the team result isn’t about him. It’s a little unusual that they have duplicate parts in Brown, Thornton and Worthy.

Sark's Georgia Problem: All 22 Film Study
There will be debate as to how persons define a drop. For PFF purposes, I’m not certain whether they called it a drop or not. In any event, I reckon my point was more that, drop or not, his WR skills up to the point of the catch attempt made the catch attempt far more difficult that it should have been. Either way you end up at the same place. Incomplete rather than a huge play.

Sark's Georgia Problem: All 22 Film Study
I seem to recall a throw to Golden last year in which a poster labeled it a “drop” in the end zone versus the Dawgs. It had some modest similarities to this one. Wingo is an interesting WR. He has some skills but seems to lack the innate ability to just go get the ball. It would be curious if that shows differently in practice. I can only recall 1, maybe 2, passes in which he adjusted to catch the ball.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Agree. To an extent. They beat ND on a last minute FG at home. UF on a two game losing streak and reeling. Then USF on their game 3rd game of Boise-UF-Miami. Pitt is not good. One last point on the ACC as a whole, of those top 7 ACC teams, they were 1-3 versus the Big 12 with the only win over Colorado by 7. Looks like Miami didn’t leave home until October and only 4 road games. Not near enough critique of what they’ve done.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
And no one cares that Miami played 4 of 6 worst teams in the conference and only 2 of 7 with winning conference records. And collectively thst conference allowed Duke, 1-3 in the non-conference, to make the championship. Illinois beat Duke by 26 at Duke. The best teams they’ve played were at home, two of which were when that team was at their worst. It should be Virginia or bust from the ACC.

I’d just like to add that Kentucky beat Auburn by as many points as did A&M, OU, and Bama.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
Sure. Teams gameplan. Got it.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
You said week after week. It’s curious since he missed MSU and Vandy. The plays from Arkansas that were discussed was one in which it was not his guy. The other was him being overly aggressive. Arkansas attacked more a portion of the field or perhaps a position group. Georgia. Their pass game was bit overblown with regards to the secondary. In the 4th, they were attacking situationally and not so much our coverage. The big question was the Taaffe/Guilbeau TD pass. Their biggest pass plays were the blown coverage, the blitz/man versus McDonald, a 3rd down blitz/man versus Manny then an early zone coverage to the intermediate left. Back to Kentucky, they hit the short edges pretty consistently, but it was lots of dink and dunk. From my seat, it was a different approach each week with more based on what worked best for them.

I bet that TE give going in untouched works versus OSU right there.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Yes. Their 5* versus Manny, only Manny didn’t play. Shit snowballed on UF. I keep hearing that we had a bye. So did they. They needed it far more than we did. Lagway got mentally and physically tuned up. Neither Brown nor Wilson played AT Ole Miss. Their receiving attack versus us was gone. If you look at the bottom of the SEC standings, those teams had rougher schedules. It takes a toll, physically and mentally. It may not matter to us but Purdue , for example, would like a bowl bid, but they get served a gauntlet.
-
Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
It is a real thing and to say otherwise is stupid. In a month we left home as much as Ole Miss did all year. Bama never had back-to-back weeks away from home. It is an SEC issue that caused it, but we are judging teams on their season long performance and all that entails. If it weren’t that big a deal, you’d see more of it.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
We played 5 top 15 teams. We had 3 rival games. UF on the road. That is a lot of high intensity games. If you’ve played sports, if you’ve watched sports, you know that teams have let downs on certain days, certain games. And some games, you simply aren’t at your best. So throw out the 3 shitbird games. That leaves you Kentucky and MSU. i am not saying it excuses the performance but context surrounding the games adds some understanding. Kentucky had two weeks to prepare. It was a night game. It was a Stoops and all that implies. They never led. It was the 3rd consecutive game away from home. That is something no other contender in the SEC had to do. Bama never hit the road in consecutive weeks. That is an advantage for them, disadvantage for us. MSU. They beat ASU at home, took Tennessee to OT. It was our 4th consecutive week away from home. For a higher end team, I’m not sure there is a historical precedent for such a long non-home streak. We were missing an all American. If nothing else those wins speak to our endurance. So not only were we asked to beat more high-end teams, we were asked to beat our lower end teams under unusual circumstances. I’d be surprised if strength of schedule accounts for that. If not, it should and only strengthens the argument that our schedule was damn difficult.

Is that what Vandy and MSU did?

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I can believe this but out of curiosity is second hand knowledge, speculating or legit information? Ohio State was a combination of things. Turns out OSUs pass defense is pretty good. Gambling, Minnesota, Rutgers, Purdue, Michigan all had less than 100 yards passing. Ohio had 113 but 67 on one play. UCLA had 154 but 100+ after they were down 34-0. Only Altmyer had 200+ and 100+ was in the 4th down 24. OSU had good pressure too. So probably some confusion, add a little pressure and add in some self doubt. He played well versus SJSU and SHSU. UTEP was an anomaly from a run/pass ratio standpoint and his misses were different. The first 4th and 4, Wingo screwed that up. Then it was simply misses. The gameplan didn’t get him involved early. And he was working with many backups which made things worse. Protection was actually decent here. Then UF and up until Vandy is when the pressure cranked up. Lots of pressure. Quick pressure. Interior pressure. The A&M game was not entirely different than earlier games like OSu or Kentucky except we had fewer penalties and brought our run game. And of course we won so the misses and not hitting certain open guys were largely ignored. I’m not being overly critical cause I think that’s normal QB type stuff. There can be over coaching of the QB position. I’m still not convinced we didn’t see it last year. The pressure he has endured makes it very difficult to be consistent.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
That’s wonderful. That particular statement was not limited to SEC games. Throw in a road game against Ohio State. Throw in a neutral site versus OU. That 4th road game was against another top 5 team. I guess your implication is correct. 50% of our non-home games against top 10 teams is typical, and we should only play top 25 teams on the road. Go ahead and tell me how we had a bye leading into UF but ignore the fact that Kentucky had a bye, that it was homecoming, that it was at night, that they never led the game, or that we were coming off the OU game. Ignore the thought that OU had a de facto bye leading up to our game. Oh by the way, our 29 point lead versus Arkansas was the most of any SEC team against them. Our 21 point lead versus Vandy is their largest deficit of the season. Ironic they were both home games. And in spite of OU not needing to focus on Kent State, their 17 point deficit to us - also their largest of the season. The season is a grind whether you are in the SEC or not. No team gets up or plays their best every week. More games away from home. Length of time away from home. The more games you have requiring maximum intensity. All those things make the grind more difficult. This team will have had more of that shit than anyone.

The FSU loss happened after 9 months to prepare. No road games for a few days. UF also had a bye. So our bye is more pertinent than their bye? They were in desparation mode which allowed them to regroup. They had 5* WR play his first game. He took advantage of our missing CB, our best CB. We at least had the ball with the opportunity to tie in the 4th, albeit a small chance. They took both Georgia and Ole Miss to the 4th without the full services of their top 2 pass catchers versus us. FSU lost to a team that beat San Jose State on a last second FG. The last possession Bama had to tie or take the lead was midway thru the 2nd quarter versus FSU. They went 3 and out. But sure that’s a way better loss. Yes, if Bama wins the sec championship, they are clearly in. They are in if they make the championship for that matter. We have played and competed against more high level teams than anyone. We’ve also done it on the road or at a neutral site as much as anyone.

No matter the outcomes this weekend we have a better resume on the difficulty end of our schedule. Bama cannot have more games against top 5, top 10 or top 15 opponents than us. I don’t think it’s possible they match us when considering home, road or neutral. The FSU and UF losses are very similar on the pitiful scale. In the Georgia OU, Bama, Texas quartet, Bsma got a home and lost. The only home loss of the four. Texas and OU did not get a home game. Bama never had two road games in a row. We had 4 of 5 and 42 days between home games. If strength of schedule, FPI, FEI doesn’t consider that element, it is lacking and needs to be introduced into the discussion accordingly. Bama has 7 home games. We have 6. You’re basically saying their road wins over Mizzou and South Carolina are massively more impressive than our road wins over Kentucky and MSU. Keeping in mind that our two games were the 3rd and 4th games consecutively away from home.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
Thanks for walking this thru. Taaffes actions were interesting. At the snap, he’s rushing as though there’s no chance the RB releases even though that’s his intent the entire time. Pretty great anticipation with the play call.
-
Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
I think we got outsmarted here. Petrino does some nice things. He got the TE isolated several times. Notice our edge guy up top. Unblocked. I’d wager we expected the Oline to block right with the back picking up backside. Maybe we were hoping to iso our bigger guy versus the RB. It is too coincidental that McDonald backed off immediately then chased. It probably was his man but was in an incredibly difficult position.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
That might have been cover 3 so maybe the CB. Or maybe S. The opposite Cb looked to be over the top. Lbs were not aggressively attacking other eligible receivers. I question whether he’s trying too hard to be Troy. If he’s busting zone coverage, he has always had to do that except to the extent that we’re less dominating on the interior than we’ve been in several years. Plus this years offenses are far more competent than last years regular season opponents. The RB release mentioned above was my thought on Taaffe. He’s Troying it. At some point he realized the RB released, but it was too late. Point to a single play in which speed has anything to do with it. Several years ago people blamed him for shit that likely wasn’t his doing. That may be some of that, but it’s more likely this time around that he’s been too aggressive attacking the run. So, yeah, maybe he’s trying to do too much, but speed has nothing to do with it.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
A couple things to hit on here. Defensive snap counts. This isn’t really an issue, at least over the long haul. The guys that have logged the most snaps individually have missed time. Hill, Taaffe, McDonald, Manny and Guilbeau. Simmons has had some high snap counts but if you were to compare versus a guy like Jack Sawyer last year, it’s not out of the norm. With our schedule, we probably missed some brutal heat intensive games too. We’ve had two bye weeks. What is likely happening is that we’re playing teams with talent and experience along with some solid QBs. Mix in a few injuries. I don’t know that we let off the gas defensively, but Vandy was a screw up or two. Then Arkansas was tons of rotation. We saw the same last year. When we played quality, they had some success. Without breaking it down, I suspect we play a lot of matchup football on defense. Respect the speed on the outside versus MSU. Versus Arkansas and their 7 yards per carry, you have to prepare for the run, particularly given your big LBer is out. Georgias gameplan was quite good. Two TEs, some 4 wide. Vandy is multiple. I haven’t checked this week but Vandy and Georgia were #1 and #2 in OFEI last week. Even Kentucky has found some offense with their QB.
