I think we're going to find out at some point that power conference officiating has a significant number of Tim Donaghy types in its ranks. I think the majority are honest but it only takes a few well placed crooked officials to make some sport book a ton of money. I'm not certain of what kind of co...

[quote]That was a zone blocking scheme and those Broncos OLs were always among the lightest in the NFL. It seems that DeBoer prefers the smaller, more nimble type OLs, so we shall see if it gets better in the long run. This lack of running is certainly a source of frustration for many of us. [/quot...

Our interior OL has not lived up to the preseason hype and the right tackle is a liability but not to the degree his backup has proven to be. We just can't move bodies consistently so our run game is heavily predicated on pin-and-pull, counters, misdirection, etc. I love those runs but I don't t...

Alabama has 1 really tough game and 2 sneaky tough games left. If they win out, they will have earned an at-large bid honestly. Oklahoma looked a good bit better on offense after firing their OC. We'll probably end up playing in a chilly Fall early kickoff with 30 mph winds in Norman. Auburn i...

And another thing, teams are playing Alabama to take away the shot plays that Milroe does so well. That means Alabama is going to have to score on drives where they string 5 or more plays together far more often than they were earlier in the season. When teams do this, you have to out-execute th...

[quote]Offense was 2 for 9 on 3rd down. [/quote] Alabama has got to get better on 1st down. Particularly when they decide to run. However, we had a 1 or 2 of 2nd-and-on-schedule downs that got wiped because of a procedural penalty. The combination of penalties and production is putting the offen...

This team ain't so dominant that you can't enjoy a 34-0 win over an SEC opponent. I'm happy they won. Glad they did what you hope to do with a team limping into your own stadium: mollywop them and move onto the bye week. It is important to understand it doesn't create any sweeping projection...

[quote]Saturday didn't prove much [/quote] I think there were positives but it didn't make me reevaluate the season's trajectory all that much. I don't have a ton of confidence in the trip to Baton Rouge. More worried now since they're a cornered animal too. Our defense is a far cry from TAMU's,...

re: We just beat a top 25 team

I think Mizzou’s backup QB is what broke them but regardless Alabama had less than 100 penalty yards (sad that is an accomplishment) and no turnovers. So we didn’t frick around and let them ever have a shot once Cook went down. It’s a small win but a win...

[quote]So it's not terribly surprising that we've struggled running the ball consistently. The good thing is that it can be corrected/improved.

[quote]If Milroe plays like he did Saturday we have a good shot, but it’s Death Valley at night, I expect penalties and mistakes.[/quote] Honestly, we are still having problems in the passing game. We need a bye week because the qb and receiver are still not on the same page sometimes. Bad routes...

re: Props to Justice Haynes

Posted by Diego Ricardo on 10/26/24 at 11:44 pm
Tend to agree that some of Jam and Justice's problems are use. The QB makes poor reads at times on the zone read option. Accordingly the backs are sometimes getting the handoff when they're running into wall with the ends pinching down on them or coming out of the mesh empty handed when they have gr...
Watching the replay because I missed a lot of this game today. And Milroe missed the read big time around the 7:30 mark in the 2nd quarter. Milroe got a modest gain but Jam had an opportunity to make an explosive if he had handed it off instead. ...
