  2. Yes, arthroscopic-assisted ACLs are very different, as are rehab protocols now, than what was done a couple of generations ago. Technically, I would call the LCL (lateral collateral ligament) the anterior part of the PLC (postero-lateral corner, not to be confused with the PCL, posterior cruciate ligament). Depending on whether he avulsed (pulled off) or tore mid-substance on his LCL, he might have had different surgeries; with a high-level RB like him, my guess is that he had some graft sewn in there unless it was obviously strictly avulsed. I can't remember with certainty, but I think the early concern was that Baxter had torn PCL, too. Not tearing PCL and not tearing more of the posterior portions of the PLC (eg Popliteus) would take some of my concerns away regarding aggressive early motion in therapy and hence help him be better positioned for a potentially faster and more complete recovery. Once he is this far out, his recovery trajectory is more about how rapidly he can re-train and how well he re-adapts to full go.

  4. re: Baker A few good friends who have been to practices last year and since have become raving fans of the guy. Players and recruits love him. Good pick by Sarkisian that had a lot of us handwringing at the time because the dude was a relative unknown.

  6. I feel confident this Texas defensive front seven is going to prison rape the Ohio State offense. I don't know about the rest of the matchups, but entering the season that to me looks like by far the biggest mismatch heading into this game. Some points to consider: - The shuffling of offensive linemen two weeks before the game. I'm not saying Ohio State can't have a good OL by the end of the season, but it's obvious to me they don't have any easy solutions for their starting 5, much less consistent back ups. They brought in 3 portal OL this past offseason after relying on portal guys last year. That's a strategy of desperation forced on to them by inadequate high school recruiting and development. I watched Oregon get butt fucked early in the season along their OL, but by midseason they had turned things around and really had a decent squad there. Ohio State can do the same. But they need reps, they need stability, and they're not going to have it for the season opener. - Brian Hartline is now their OC. I don't understand what Ryan Day's role is going to be there after handing over all the responsibilities to Chip Kelly last season. I assume it's going to be something. He's a control freak (all head coaches are to some degree) but he figured out if he hired his mentor in Chip Kelly he could relinquish duties. Well, Hartline doesn't have Kelly's gravitas. He's wholly dependent on Day for his career arc, having been brought to Ohio State at the same time. How they manage their responsibilities will be something of a work in progress. Cracks in communication and the blame game aren't stress tested in the offseason. They're stress tested when things don't go well in the game, and the head person doesn't want to blame himself for the failures. Which isn't specifically a Ryan Day thing. It's a human thing. There's going to be inconsistencies in the approach, and an inability to have a convicted response when things go poorly. - New quarterback. They're saying it's a competition, but it's not. It's going to be Sayin. Day wants to keep Kienholz engaged and put a fire under Sayin's butt. Similar to how Sarkisian handled the Card/Ewers competition, when it was always going to be Ewers. It's a pretty common coaching tactic. I don't really care. I've seen both approaches work. I think people get too worked up about this stuff. But neither of them have experience under fire. That's going to effect how well the offense runs. - untested running backs. I assume someone they have back there is going to be uber talented. We know about Peoples from his time in HS. They like Donaldson, too. But the pair they had last year were special. I don't know how these two are going to compare to what they lost, but going into the game I'm going to assume there's at least a short term step back. ______________________________________________ Compare this to the other side of the LOS. - Everyone across the country keeps talking about the edge room across the country. I'm not going to go into detail with a Texas audience. You guys could teach me about our roster there. I'm just going to say this will be the best group of edge rushers Ohio State sees all season, including the post season. In their first game. This is not going to be pretty. - One thing that is being underestimated is our DTs. Now, this could very well be koolaid talking. It's happened to me before. Maybe we see a huge dropoff in production here from last year. The thing is, I assumed we'd see a big dropoff last year. I looked for signs of it, and was constantly complaining that early opponents had success running inside in ways that wouldn't have been possible with Murphy and Sweat in there the year before. As if it's completely normal to feature the two best DTs in the country on the same team. But the truth is, last year's DTs, while not as good individually, were in some ways better as a collective. It took me at least until midseason to begrudgingly admit I was wrong about the position in the preseason. Well, I like this group even better. Again, this could be the koolaid talking, but I think Breverd and Watson are going to be an outstanding pair of first guys in. I feel like they are going to absolutely rag doll the OSU interior OL. But then we're bringing in Shaw and January, and there's no real drop off. Kanu gets some snaps against his former team and quickly realizes he could be playing more if he had just stayed put. Sharma does Sharma things for a few snaps. Maybe Charles gets some time. The thing is, I feel like us hardcore Texas fans view the DT position as a source of strength heading into the year that NO ONE in the national media or on the Ohio State side is giving us credit for. I feel confident the DT play is going to be one of the biggest revelations coming out of this game. - I don't know if it should be combined with the edge players or not, but our linebacking corps is stupendous, especially in terms of being heat seeking missiles. Ty'Anthony Smith's emergence is just icing on an already well made Charlie Strong style cake. Hill is receiving as much attention as almost any defender in the country, so we're not exactly flying under the radar at this position. I just think it adds to the DLs coming dominance. - Kwiatkowski and the rest of the defensive staff. As opposed to Ohio State, there's a lot of continuity on the defensive side of the ball, especially in the front seven. Obviously we've seen a lot of changes in the back end, but I'm not talking about our secondary matchup here. I just think a lot of players know their roles. The ones learning their roles are doing so next to players who have been in the program, led by coaches who are convicted in what they're doing and know how to successfully convey assignments. Everyone understands their chain of command. When mistakes happen there's not going to be an overt or subconscious scapegoating as to who's fault it was. ______________________________________________ I don't think any of this guarantees a Texas win. I like our chances heading into the game, but shit happens. Turnovers. Hostile crowd. Ohio State has amazing players. Ryan Day just won a national championship. But I feel confident if the Buckeyes come out on top, it's going to be because they were able to overcome a complete annihilation upfront on offense.

  11. Has this been posted? CJ Vogel: Scrimmage No. 2 Takeaways *** β€’ It was a much cleaner day for the offense. Across all three teams, there was only one turnover, which was on a bobbled exchange from the center and quarterback. β€’ The offense moved the ball much better, and quicker than a week ago as well. By all accounts, the offense won the day. β€’ Still, the defense had some success in the red zone against the offense. β€’ The field goal unit was much improved this week as well. Will Stone handled the kickoff duties. β€’ OT Jaydon Chatman was the first tackle on the field, over Nick Brooks, when Trevor Goosby left the scrimmage. β€’ RB CJ Baxter continues to increase his workload. When speaking with Steve Sarkisian post-scrimmage, it sounds like the training wheels are coming off and the Longhorns will be seeing much more of Baxter on the field to begin the season than anticipated. Sark referenced the RB position as "1A and 1B" rather than a first and second string approach with Baxter and Wisner. β€’ Freshman QB KJ Lacey received some run with the first unit in a 2-minute drill in which he moved the ball very efficiently. The offense ended up making the field goal. β€’ EDGE Colin Simmons "Dominated per usual" according to a source. β€’ There still remains no sign of freshman DB Jonah Williams on the field for fall camp. We might not be there yet, but at some point the long-term health conversation may come in to play here. Individual Moments β€’ Freshman WR Kaliq Lockett was on the receiving end of a double-move conversion on 4th down with the first team offense. β€’ DL Alex January was credited with a blocked field goal. β€’ WR Parker Livingstone had a handful of big gains through the air today. *** Tackling vs. Deeper Playbook Texas missed more tackles in scrimmage two than they did in scrimmage one. With a smaller crowd of onlookers, the bag of offensive play calls increased and as a result, the Longhorns were able to dial up some looks that otherwise be left tucked away with onlookers present. As a result, it was a strong day for the wide receivers. Ryan Wingo, DeAndre Moore, Parker Livingstone, Daylan McCutcheon and Kaliq Lockett were all mentioned as guys with strong performances. *** Malik Muhammad This was a big takeaway for me today. The Texas offense attacked Malik Muhammad this afternoon, all of which by design. Whether it be Livingstone, Wingo, Lockett or name a receiver, Texas was pushing the envelop on the 3rd-year cornerback and Muhammad stood tall. From what I understood, the idea was to instill the confidence of a true CB1, especially with the tall task of Jeremiah Smith looming on August 30. Muhammad withstood the final test he will see in fall camp and did so with high remarks. Really solid day for the Longhorn corner.

  12. Baxter will be a difference maker this year, if he can stay healthy. Couple reasons: 1. He was the best blocking freshman RB I have ever seen. Probably the #1 reason he started the season as freshman. Trust me Arch is elated to have Baxter blocking for him, instead of someone like Blue. Keep in mind many anticipate Texas to take more play action shots. I cannot stress how important a good blocking RB can be for the passing game. 2. Even if he is not 100% healthy. He has the size to be the effective short yardage RB that Texas desperately missed last year. Just falling forward for 1 yard on a play blocked for 0 would make a difference. 3. Not discussed much, but he probably had the best hands of RBs. I cannot remember him dropping a pass. You get his big ass rolling in space, he is going to punish the secondary He doesn’t have to be 100% to do that.

  19. Maybe he fell victim to unfair expectations, but I kind of thought Baxter was a bit underwhelming when healthy. The '23 team definitely looked a lot better to me when JBrooks was on the field. I'm not certain 80% makes Baxter a huge contributor. I also understand that it's possible for players to improve from their first year on campus. I hope that's the case here. Seems like an absolute stud as a kid and love his interviews, but I just hope to see a player on the field who has some burst when there's a hole to run through this time around.

  24. Texags thinks this meeting was most likely a success. Trump won’t reveal his cards (lol) so everyone just needs to give him time. Art of the deal means keeping the successful negotiation a secret for a bit longer. If Trump were president instead of Biden, the invasion would’ve likely never happened and this meeting would not be necessary. My personal favorite: Like any venture into that cesspool of a website, it’s a sad reminder that we share this state and this country with ignorant and gullible people who will shift their own beliefs and forfeit any inkling of critical thinking for the sake of staying forever loyal to their team politics. They are unfortunately not outliers, which explains why America is where it is today.
