Right tackle looks like me blocking Bruce smith in his prime

fourth sack 3:54 4th quarter
1st play after fluffs injury
they Run a twist

Cashius Howell had 3 sacks

 

[HailStout]

You just don’t understand how good we would be if they would just put Kevin Fant in.

 

[BreckyBratt]

Thought this thread was going to be about a new NIL deal for him***

 

[MagnoliaHunter]

Don't be confusing these dubmasses with actual facts.

 

[patdog]

Sometimes he does take unnecessary sacks by holding onto the ball too long. But on the vast majority of them, he just never had a chance.

 

[The Cooterpoot]

This is why Lebby is run heavy with his play calling but we can't run it with OL starters out, we got zero depth and too many young guys in it

Completely agree. But when you literally haven’t completed your 3 step drop and already getting hammered, not much you, me, blake shapen, or joe Montana could do

It's sad that a SEC program is this bad at the OT position.

The middle of that line has done pretty good.

How do we as a program seem to get offensive gurus as head coaches, that can't seem to figure out how to scheme up to cover a deficiency?

You can help one OT that needs it. Not sure how you scheme around having two OTs that need help, to say the least. This is a recruiting and development problem. Realistically, it's a development problem, as solid OTs are always going to be at a premium and we're not going to win very many bidding wars in the portal.

The non-blue blood P4 coaches that can figure out how to develop OTs that aren't lured away with a bigger NIL deal after the first season they show promise are going to have earned their money.

Why you think we run the ball 62% of the time? Because we can't pass protect well. But we also just played two of the best pass rushing teams we'll see this year.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

We need to limit the straight drop backs, especially in obvious passing situations.

This. It’s because they’ve always had elite talent at certain positions that has allowed their specific offense to work. The ones that have done well here are the ones who have done well at other players previously with lesser talent. And those coaches who have been successful at multiple places know how to scheme with deficiencies. In fact they’re used to it. Guys like Morehead and Lebby ect only know one way.

There have been games where Shapen holds the ball too long but some people embarrassed themselves without knowing they embarrassed themselves talking about his play at A&M. He had zero chance at success behind that pass protection.

 

[Deltaduckhunter]

One reason we beat Arizona State was Booth picked up a Defensive End that came in untouched. That was actually the first thing that caught my eye as that play was happening live.

 

[MagnoliaHunter]

Isn't part of the reason that Shapen holds on to the ball a little because the offensive philosophy is "Score From Far"? I've heard the coaches say it several times. Its a risk you take. I think we need to change it a little until we get some talent and/or experience on the OL but I think that's where its coming from.

I'm no Shapen apologist. He definitely holds onto the ball too long. The 4th down OT play against Tennessee is a great example. He had a guy coming across the goal line if he cuts it loose but he held it and allowed the LB to fill the pass lane and he had to go through the progression.

That said, a lot of the criticism of him is unfair. He's rarely given a chance to throw the ball, and when he does, he's rattled because he's expecting to get hit.

I don’t disagree with this, but a lot of quarterbacks can be guilty of that

I’d argue our best 5 aren’t that bad
Not great but decent

WE HAVE ZERO DEPTH

 

[paindonthurt]

We definitely have to get creative

 

[paindonthurt]

and Lebby ect only know one way.

this is idiotic

Lebby has shown he can generate offense here

he does have to adjust this year but we are 4-2 and everyone would have taken that at the beginning of season

if he gets to 6 you should be force to blow him

And he’s still pretty good considering all of that

@bulldoghair you laughing bc you are so dumb?

 

[Baddog11]

Can you explain this?

Offense has quit on Shapen

The neutral TV announcers said it was because Shapen got mad and yelled at them and then tried to go back and apologize to them….

 

[bulldoghair]

@bulldoghair you laughing bc you are so dumb?

Your last sentence made me laugh. It was funny.

Btw I don’t see 6 wins. Would be a miracle in my eyes. Before the year I had us going 4-8. After we beat ASU, I had us going 4-0, and then finishing 4-8. We shall see. I’d love to be wrong here.
