September 1Sep 1 Patricia may be a doofus and a horrible HC and OC but there’s nothing that says he was a horrible DC. He’s had a year and has shit down the best offenses in the NFL. He knows Sark well

September 1Sep 1 Watched on one of the sports shows how Patricia schemed coverages that confused Arch. Impressive stuff.

Yes, ESPN supposedly broke down in detail how he changed coverages and scheme post snap. This confused the heck out of Arch and Sark and is why there were receivers running open that he didn’t see. I don’t know much about Patricia but she definitely prepared a very good defensive game plan for Texas.

But a few posts back OU +10 was mentioned. Which is hilariously chickenshit as a cell phone flop out style challenge, btw. Texas +10, now that would take some brass ones.

I do it all the time or my phone will select the word/name it thinks I want. Hook’em!!!
September 3Sep 3 Its amazing how someone can go from the biggest dumbass in football to the Einstein of football in a week.

Ohio State did an incredible job of not giving their defense away" ~ @BruceArians #PMSLive https://t.co/r7fVnK7Ef4" / X

He avoided the NFL DC mistake of going complex blitzes. I think the biggest thing is he also has a really smart player in Caleb Downs that communicates really well, so he can get funky on the back end. Sometimes you have to just tip your hat to the opposition.
September 3Sep 3 The thread title should be changed to Matt Patricia is not welcome back to South Padre Island

I don’t know much about Patricia but she definitely prepared a very good defensive game plan for Texas. I didn't play football and I won't pretend to know much about schemes...but Arch made him look better than perhaps he should have. Throwing a football into the dirt when the WR is open and the QB has already identified him as open is not the skill of the DC. Happy to be blasted and corrected here if that take lacks football knowledge.

I'll make a bet with anyone that statement holds true. There is plenty to bemoan about the offense and the D had 2 costly penalties, other than that Texas D was absolutely the highlight and brightest spot of the game. As an OSU fan I thought the Texas punter was their MVP. He repeatedly boomed ball and pinned Ohio State near their goal line. Of course he was assisted by good coverage, but most of his punts were simply not returnable. Starting deep in their territory contributed greatly to Ohio State’s conservative play calls.

Every time the ball touched his foot, I got glossy eyed thinking what would have been with him on the team last year.

I’d have much rather he sat his Aussie ass on the bench all day(No offense, Mikey!). But yeah, when he was call upon, he certainly delivered.
