Are the Texas receivers just running bad routes?

I watched this video, and the first two plays, it looks like receivers are bunched up down field.

I'm not defending arch, but maybe the plays suck.

Sark is the most overrated offensive "guru" in the sport.

Max Browne does a good job with that. I didn't know he was doing this now.

And Arch just looked bad in that analysis. There were some really open plays for him to take and he chose terribly.

Kid is garbage, I’m tired of ESPN shilling for him because he’s a Manning

If they are, which very well might be the case....that's on the coaches.

Was he supposed to get the pass off before they bunched up?

Were they not able to run their routes fast enough or effective enough to get open?

Does Arch just suck and maybe the coaches too and perhaps the entire offense?

It is possible that the receivers, Arch and Sark all 3 suck.

Yep even in our game with TX last season Arch didn't see a wide open Wingo on a few plays even when he had some time.

When you draw up routes while on Xanax and Percocet it’s gonna look like a bunch of squiggly lines

Hard to say. Could be bad routes but I agree with the film guy. He just throwing to the wrong guys. That 3rd play was all missed timing.

All those things happen when the QB’s eggs are scrambled. In this case I think the pressure to perform is getting to him

I’m just glad they felt like they didn’t need CJ Baxter this season.

Stupidest move by Sark. CJ Baxter is a beast.

Sark is overrated as a QB whisperer and Arch is the worst of the Manning talent tree. Many things can be true

Of all the Offensive Coordinators Saban had over the years, I thought Sark was the best of the bunch.

Maybe better at that alone than dealing with all the new NIL head coach roles too.

I'm also not sure there's any coach that's worked with more QBs that were drafted and had at least some NFL career. Must be 8 at least. Not saying he's the best but quite a resume.

Baxter is a beast but he would look just like our current RBs behind our Staypuft Marshmallow arse OL. Smart of the dude to GTFO of Austin

They’re trying to help him with those plays. He can only process one side of the field. Some of it is protection too.

If you watch the video, it's pretty clear that Sark's plays were just fine. Arch can't read defenses. That's the problem.
