SC should run Spider 2 Y Banana. What could go wrong?

Jets and Miami (sadly) have to go QB and are probably picking 1 and 2. I could see the Raiders and possibly the Cardinals resetting as well. They'll be picking in the top 10. I don't know if Ty wins the Heisman but through 8 weeks he's QB1. The command of the offense. The pre-snap processing. The feel in the pocket. The accuracy. He'll be 23 before the season ends. It's the same arc as Cam Ward. Get a good look at him. He's gonna go make 50 million dollars.
i see barn and mizzou attempting to set a record for most pandas humping and alligator.
playing to triple zeros or thirsting for garbage points? seems Heupel had a ticket somewhere with the over.
man, we got to get some dudes on d line.
the dogs went upstairs. don't think they approve of my behavior. feels like judgement.
spider 2 y ba-let me get that!!!!!
Theres no Will anderson on this team. No Tim Williams. At this point I’d settle for Ryan Anderson. But given the talent and stage of development he’s making do.

You can see the philosophy. Feel out opening drive a la game 1 Lebron James. Make an adjustment. Bend more often than we break. Create an opportunistic turnover. Hang on for dear life. Maybe less than ideal. But if someone told you in August that exiting week 7, these guys would be 17 ppg with 12 turnovers you would have cashed those chips and sprinted out of the casino.
Had drives of 16 plays, 12 and 11 all ending in scores. One 3 and out. Even in the absence of a dominant ground attack, i'm starting to see an identity. A deliberate offensive approach. Ball control with some explosives mixed in.

We have the best QB in the country. He forced one ball on 4th down, deep in their end on a play that should have fooled the defense but didn't, with nowhere to run. That's the closest thing to a critique I can come up with through 5 football games. Find me one instance of somebody running the 2 minute like Ty's last 3 drives going into half.

We also have the best receiver room, a lead back rounding into form and at least 7 OL that I trust.
Note: we're 2-3 weeks away from seeing Proctor in orbit motion.

Defense doesn't blow anybody away but you see the vision even if it's not pretty. Keep the ball in front of us, rush the passer with discipline and try to force a mistake. The coaches know what we all know. There's no Will Anderson walking those halls. Still have to find 11 guys that can fit the run.

The defensive depth is underrated. I'm really starting to like 11, 17, 90 and 94. I love 5, 12, 21 and 41. All those reps will be really valuable in a month. And don't quit on 42. He's going to be a somebody before it's over.
Ty Simpson did not win the job. Two coaching staffs determined this. Two years ago he got what few backup QBs ever get. He got an in season opportunity to wrestle the job away from the starter at USF. He had a golden opportunity to send Milroe to the WR room. He came in in the middle of the 2nd quarter and stunk less than Buchner. He was slow. He held the ball forever. He had no idea what he was looking at pre-snap. He throws a much better ball than Milroe, but he wasn't ready to play QB at Alabama. And I think the first person that would agree with all of this is Ty Simpson.

You don't grow into being a D1 quarterback in season normally. It's going to be hard for Pierre to grow into a Sam linebacker in season. There's simply not enough time to teach a player to recognize coverage, defensive fronts, know what protections match the personnel...etc and install a gameplan.

Ty getting his time right now might be the best thing that ever happened to him. He wasn't ready last year and neither was the offensive staff. The offense has been so dysfunctional going back to Bryce Young's last year. No run lanes. No separation. The slowest developing plays you've ever seen. Now look at it. It's not just that Ty is better. It's not just that he trusts his eyes and is processing pre-snap better than anybody in the country. The play design is better. The O line is in sync in pass protection. Every week a different RB makes an instructional video in blitz pickup. Most important, we've got open receivers plural every other play. The play where Ty hits Horton in the hole up the left sideline, Ryan Williams is just as open up the right hash. Everyone is playing faster and surer. And this kid is going to NYC the 2nd week in December.
I think it was noted American philosopher Mack Wilson who said it best…

Lock them gates!!!
Bama 52
Vandy 24

Miller runs for 88, TD air and TD ground
that should tell you everything you need to know. if Ty was processing pre and post snap two years ago the way he is now he would have beaten Milroe out easily. He didn't have it yet. It was all over the tape the game at USF. Now this kid isn't just playing quarterback, he's commanding the offense. Which is good and bad news. Incoming hot take. I think we're about to witness a young man play himself into a day 1 draft pick this spring. You heard it here first.

ultimate team win. some kids showed up tonight in ways that won't make the highlight reels...

I had to look up Justin Hill. I didn't expect his number to be called and neither did he. He had no idea what he was doing and played his butt off anyway.

Edric Hiil was stout inside when we had to have it. Ok he blown off the ball a time two, but he did just enough to keep the LBs clean.

How about Dijon Lee. Kinda been on the shelf for a bit. I think they finally figured out we were getting beat up on the edge in run support. What a physical kid.

1. Move the chains. No pre-snap penalties. No negative plays on 1st down. We got a qb that's on a Steph Curry-like heater. And that Goergia secondary is a little bit leaky to put it in polite terms. Lean on what works, the pass game, and see if we can bust 2 or 3 runs off it.

2. Mix in some tempo. My god, we snap the ball with milliseconds to spare every play. Makes the offense predictable.

3. Get Stockton off schedule. 4 sacks in 3 games. Minimal pressure. That ain't it. Wommack has to get in his bag and generate some pressure. He has to factor in Stockton having decent wheels. I suspect they're going to keep dropping Russaw into coverage instead of just rushing him off the edge, so I'll stop whining about it but somehow we have to make these guys uncomfortable.

4. Get off the field on 3rd down. This will be the most telling stat. If the defensive snaps are in the 60s it will have been a good day. If they're in the 80s, there will be hate mail.
I would give almost anything to never see Russaw drop into coverage.
