re: Ty Simpson

Ty us much better than Buchner but he isn't better than Milroe.
We have seen enough.
I don't know why it is hard for some to accept this because it's the reality at this point

Agree 100%. Saban took a (should have been) easily winnable game and let everybody see what we have at quarterback - fans and media, and importantly the whole team, most of whom have been supportive of Milroe all along. Milroe is a team leader. We do not have a great quarterback (or greatness anywhere on offense, especially on the line) but Milroe gives us the best chance, shaky that it is, in a big game.

First snap he got...buddy was in the backfield but somehow he got rid of it which was a heads up play.

Here it is right before the ball is snapped...



Name of the game is pre-snap read. You got 5 man rush plus two LBs that look like they mean business. As the QB, job #1 is set the protection. He knows from the play call he has 4 in the route, which means 6 guys to block 6 and Ty is responsible for the 7th. As you let this roll, our OL blocks their 5 man rush. Based on their movement, that's the call they got in the huddle. They're man to man with their 2 corners, 2 safeties on our 2 receivers, 2 tight ends. Here comes the D1 QB part. Ty has to make sure he and Roydell win against the the two in the yellow circle. With 14 seconds on the play clock, he's got to see them show blitz and send Roydell inside. He doesn't. Roydell ends up outside Proctor blocking nobody. If Roydell picks up the blitz it's a TD to Outz. Instead Ty almost got his head taken off. So I guess you could call it a heads up play. I'd call it a wasted down.

I don’t care if he’s purple.

There was absolutely nothing remotely impressive about 5 completions for 73 yards and eating 5 sacks in a half of football against a defense that gave up more points to Western Kentucky and Florida A&M than our puny effort. I don’t know how on earth people came away impressed.

I would rather be take Milroe’s explosive plays and hope you can coach away his mistakes than be Iowa for the rest of the year. We can make Milroe handoff to Roydell every time, too, if that’s the part y’all liked.

Golding isn’t going to lose a wink of sleep this week over Ty Simpson’s half against USF.

Too many people are emotional and they think a boom or bust QB is better than a steady QB who is inexperienced. Milroe is a backyard QB.

The left guard entirely ignores his rusher and doubles on the LT's man.

LINK

Roydell looks inside initially, sees the guard in the lane, and then shifts his attention to the outside rusher on the blind side who isn't covered. The guard shifts, never picking up the the free rusher and double teams 4. Proctor then disengages and double teams 5 as Roydell already had him.

Either the RB made a mistake with his judgement or the left guard fricked the play. The RB initially sets himself inside, so you can't point at Simpson and they also showed pressure from eight with most off the left side.

If either Roydell stays inside or the guard doesn't let his rusher go by him, then it's a quick dump to outz

I don’t think Ty played great yesterday but I also don’t know how to judge what he was thrown into. He obviously wasn’t expected to start or really play much. He didn’t get the majority of 1st team reps during practice. He got thrown into a game we were losing and the defense was pinning their ears back because we couldn’t block anything. I’m a perfect world he should have started this game and we could have seen what we have for ole miss next week. Buchner should have never seen the field period and we can blame Rees for that crap. But now you almost have to put Ty out there for Ole Miss. Give him a full week of practice with the 1’s and a game plan tailored around him and see what happens against an SEC caliber team. May cost us the season but I don’t see how Milroe gives us anything better right now. He’s the same guy he was last year against Arkansas and A&M. He’s gonna make big plays and then follow it up with game losing turnovers. If he could honestly just be what Jalen was in a 1 read and run QB, I think we could make it to Atlanta. But we all know once we play elite teams they’ll make our offense look as bad as it did yesterday.

I'm curious to see how he looks after a full week of reps with the 1s.

The same.

Milroe had two weeks of #1 game reps , Buchner one, and now probably Ty gets one and they make a decision this Saturday going forward

Don’t think they will stay long with
Simpson but he will have his chance to win the job .
