It’s sarcasm haha.

Remember what happened when I said I thought the off-season Ewers is going to lose the job talk was propaganda from another fanbase.
Hmm I think your post history on Ewers might say something different than you think :lol:. Definitely a mixed bag

how's Devin Brown doing?

Honestly haven’t heard too much about him. I’m slightly disappointed with how the mop up duty has been going. I’m not saying the backups need to go out there and throw bombs but just handing the ball off for a quarter and a half isn’t helping with their development
 
“Oklahoma State’s Demarco Jones had one of the most heads-up plays of 2022 early in his team’s game against Texas Tech. And he may set off a wave of copycats over the second half of the season.

Texas Tech got the ball first and scored a TD on its opening drive. The Red Raiders then tried to surprise Oklahoma State with an onside kick. And it work. Texas Tech executed it perfectly and got the ball back.

Or so it appeared. Watch Jones at the bottom of your screen. He’s No. 22. Look at him wave his right arm.

According to the NCAA rule book, “a fair catch of a free kick is a catch by a Team B player who has made a valid signal during an untouched free kick.” Additionally, the rule book states that “during a free kick, a player of the receiving team in position to receive the ball has the same kick-catch and fair-catch protection whether the ball is kicked directly off the tee or is immediately driven to the ground, strikes the ground once and goes into the air in the manner of the ball kicked directly off the tee.”

What Jones did is genius. And it should be copied by teams in late-game situations for the rest of the season. All receiving teams holding onto a lead late in a game should instruct their players to call for a fair catch as soon as an onside kick one-hops toward them since the fair catch signal deprives the kicking team of the opportunity to recover the kick.

But we’re not sure the rule should stay as it is currently written. The onside kick is hard enough to recover as is. Receiving teams calling for fair catches off the bounce with regularity will only make it harder for teams to get the ball back off a kickoff. There should be some sort of clarification to the rule going forward. Especially if what Jones did on Saturday becomes commonplace.”

I thought the whole reason kickers kicked it into the ground was so that it can’t be fair caught? These writers just put anything on the internet :lol:
