Well, you quite clearly forgot about the fact that one team played with a QB who is likely going to be in the NFL and the other wont, simply based on pocket movement and ability to look downfield, even though the play breaks down. I also dont get why you mention hurries specifically, the post you reply to doesnt even include the word "hurries" once. It clearly says "pressures" and theres a difference between the two. And yes, a pressure influences a QB more vs a sack. A sack happens three or four times a game, a pressure happens like 2x or even 3x per game more.
No, this is wrong. Less obvious passing downs are not decided by how much you ran the ball beforehand. A 3rd and 8 will always remain an obvious passing down in a 0-0 game, regardless of how often you ran the ball beforehand and how well you ran the ball beforehand. We ran the ball on 3rd and 7 and people went nuts. The main problem this team has is gaining yardage on early downs, because they have dumb playcalls, execute horribly or back themselves up with penalties. Run Game doesnt matter here and it certainly didnt for Bama, who threw the ball far better compared to running it.
Running the ball influences more in the College Game vs the NFL, however, a 3rd and 6+ is an obvious passing down and will always be one, unless you run out the clock. Bama ran the ball for one yard more on average compared to us although this board expected them to pound us into a submission.
Theres nothing to revisit, this O-Line continues to make the same mistakes they have done last season, plus one thing outside of their control, which is playcalling. Outside of that, everything about the O-Line play has been horrid, which I didnt expect and neither did Cribby, who has direct ties to practice. However, when you dont really practice live action and go at it in shells all day, thats what happens.
Oh boy, I had an expectation and this team failed me, please dont sue my *** and deport me. I better just bow down to your knowledge about the team with a golf clap, because I wasnt a miserable **** to start off the season:
