Van Hiles Clip
- Thread starter El Gato Calvo
- Start date
This has been happening the entire season. People want to fire Hamdan, but our QB can't make the reads.
Seeing it broken down so basically, and realizing BV has seen this very scenario potentially hundreds of times in practice, makes you scratch your head.
Maybe in a perfect OL world he would be great but KY’s lack of protection has got him a bad case of happy feet. When he drops back he ready to take off is beaten and gun shy.
He had good protection that play.
Brock played well at times this year. Last few games though were bad. Yesterday was really bad. For whatever reason he isn't the player that started the season.
Boley is easily better. He has to play. No way around it.
Yep. We've all seen similar plays where guys are open and Brock just isn't finding them.
Brock has done this all year …maybe it has regressed the past Florida game to now….but he’s not throwing anyone open…a guy has to flush open and then Brock releases it.
But I won’t out this all at Brock feet….Bush is bush league OC and the Oline has been bad. But when your last in sec scoring…it’s any all system failure
Bush wanted Wilsatt in there
Bush didn’t get Wilcox the ball more
Bush called all these silly jet motions wr runs to nowhere
So this offense isn’t about Boley will make it all forgotten next year. Absolutely not

Long time until next season, UK fans have always supported the team during good or bad. I expect nothing different.
That review was like watching a replay of Will Levis live so many times .

So, QBs not being able to read the defense seems to be a recurring theme. It's not just Brock or only on passing downs (Boley, who played well, had an RPO in short yardage that he handed off but had a ton of space to run, and a RB on his side to pitch to, if he keeps it). But, Levis, Leary and now Brock have all had problems reading the defense, finding the open receiver, etc.
Is that a coaching failure, a scheme failure, a player's lack of acumen or what? It's disappointing to see Van Hiles break down multiple plays every game that are designed well but the QB plain doesn't recognize what he's supposed to do.
How do we fix this? Better evaluation? Simplify the playbook to concentrate on fewer plays we can execute well? Do more mental training in practice vs physical?

Hire More competent coaches .
One thing I noticed is that Burton was beaten in about .25 seconds.
Line definitely has issues but Boley was letting it rip quickly. No reason not to throw to Maclin who was also open right away
All systems failure that starts at the top.. It's a Stoops failure. Why does the head coach always seem to get the benefit of the doubt and pass the buck to assistants in this program? At the very least he is responsible for hiring these assistants and recruiting these players.
HC get a pass because they always have huge buyouts. Stoops has over 40mil securing his football future.
I have a hard time believing Boley would have missed this opportunity. This staff is poor at evaluating QB's...and coaching them up. I have a really hard time believing a good talent evaluator wouldn't have been prepping Boley to play a LOT this year. If he can show that well against the Texas defense, are you telling me he wasn't good in practice against White's soft zone? Please.
^^ Please , To Boz, Dumb comment , coaches with buyouts , large and small are let go every year .
every year !
every year !
Yes, Texas A&M made a good decision by paying and moving on from Jimbo to Elko, granted they have a lot more money than UK does.
Because we keep taking physically talented projects as transfers.
Hes terrible. No idea why they insist on playing him. He and eli are why we can no longer convert 3rd and short. Plus we cant sneak because eli comes out so high.
As i posted many times over the years, its amazing how much bad qb play makes the OL look bad. You saw it with levis and brock.
You saw the opposite with Leary and now boley.
I wish it wasn't true. Stoops is secure and everyone knows it. He will be back for year 13. Again, I don't like it, and I expect next season to be a car wreck. Time to call the "the hammer" or Morgan and Morgan.
Well every QB looks great or at least very good when you have all day to throw the ball
Says every QB we face. Ewers had enough time to order room service yesterday. Had a bum ankle and we still couldn't get to him or make him throw on the run. Just sat back, nice and comfortable and threw to his receivers.
Agree
With all of the stud DTs that we have, they never get any pressure on the QB
Surely it’s scheme?
Our DL did not give great effort yesterday. It was embarrassing how often guys were standing or walking. Ox was completely blown off the ball when he was in. He was literally driven back into the secondary s couple of times.
ILb didn't show up either. Thats why they killed us with that essentially stretch play because our ilb weren't reading and pursuing. Pop constantly slow to read which let their ol get to him. Even when he made tackles it was 4/5 yards downfield. Afari looked lost but its his 3rd position this season. Boy djack and his speed covered alot of pops warts.
After seeing their effort start to decline 2nd quarter, i was ready to see some young guys. At least they fought vs Tennessee.
Safeties weren't great. Max gave up that first big conversion but looked like Lovett was supposed to slide underneath there and was late. Lovett also gave up that first td by not being sticky. Poor run fits. Poor effort at times by bryant. Childress played hard and shot in several times but no help.
Cbs played pretty decent. Had some nice pbus on an island. Jq played too soft but what's new.
That’s why I’m not super worried about how many guys we lose on defense. They are good but kinda lazy. Part of it is that they are probably tired of the offense sucking so much
TBH, the run defense this year especially against Vandy, Auburn and Texas have been nothing to get excited about either. Texas ran for almost 270 yards yesterday, and had no trouble picking up short yardage when they needed it.
I think it was the latter plus the injuries. We saw great effort from guys up to the Auburn game.
Boley proved he saw the field better yesterday that’s for sure. He also was willing to put the ball in play when he recognized 1v1 and let the receiver attempt to make a play vs trying to throw the perfect ball and ending up overthrowing.
BVG is playing against our D in practice. I am sure they are in zone coverage and laying off the wr 10 yards at least, and BVG looks like Tom Brady in practice against OUR defense.
The majority of SEC teams play man coverage against us because they know they can get pressure on the QB with 4 rushers up front, and BVG can't react quick enough to what he sees to pull the trigger on the pass BEFORE the WR breaks open on the play.
Do you realize that Texas was probably running their 2nd string defense?
Yeah bc that’s what teams with the playoffs on the line do when they are only up 14 with 1.5 quarters remaining. We had a chance to score again to cut it to a single possession. They were playing who they needed to to ensure they closed the game out and didn’t open the door. Proven but the fact Ewers and Blue played the entire game offensively. 2 guys where an injury would greatly damper their national title hopes.
Yes. The 1st AND 2nd string received snaps….occasionally a 3rd stringer…that’s called depth and happens every game even in top 10 matchups that are possession for possession. Welcome to CFB basics.
Wow... I must of hit a nerve? Oh, by the way tell me how hard the SEC is again. Seems like the Big 12 might be hard too.
But I heard Jesse Palmer say Anwar Stewart is one of the best in the biz during the game yesterday. I about choked on my drink when I heard that. We have never consistently gotten pressure on the quarterback since he’s been here. And before anyone says it’s scheme and it’s designed that way, LeBlanc’s units did get pressure on the quarterback with lesser talent.
Not true, I think Brock has a shoulder injury that keeps him from making throws even if he has all day.
