    Oh hey, thanks for sharing this guy from the Texas internets to the literally savviest fan segment of the Texas internets. None of us have ever heard of this guy before, what a discovery! Unrelated, have you heard of this Bijan Robinson guy at RB? I hear he's pretty good. 

    * at returning kicks IIRC

    The narrative of "Casey didn't get to run the full offense" just makes no sense.  Card had 21 attempts in 3 quarters - a whole 7/qtr.  Thompson had 5 attempt in the 4th qtr when we had a significant lead.  Any team with a 3 score lead is going to run more than throw unless Mike Leach is the coach.  CT ran the offense that the game situation dictated.  As many others have pointed out,  he would not have seen the field at all unless we were up by 40 under our previous 3 head coaches - and then he would be handing off to the full back 3x until the punt team came out.  

    I believe that CT will be a great teammate this year and perform whenever called upon.  Then portal into a starting job for next season and I'll wish him all the best unless he goes to OU or aggy. 

    I have always been a firm believer of if you bring in backups keep running the offense, you either switch to run heavy or 2nd string but not both.

    It's not just Leach who does this BTW, it's Saban, Dabo, and other championship type coaches because it is what prepares the team for any situation that could happen during a season.

    Now if someone is up by 40+ then almost everyone does both but that wasn't the situation Saturday.

    Sark did the appropriate thing to put the game away.

    This wasn't turtle Tom, we still played, but there is zero sense airing it out for no reason and risking a TO and quick score by a QB who has had more issues with ints during camp.

    As Sark has said multiple times, it's his job to do what's best for the team, not to appease an individual player.

    He brought Casey in the game for a significant part of the second half. Casey led a TD drive running the full offense, and then another fg drive. At that point, in that game, there was really only downside to doing anything else.

    If Casey doesn't like that, he's putting his pride before the teams best interest. I'm not saying he is, btw, but since a lot are speculating he's pissed about it, that's what it would mean.

    I disagree, just the fact that you correlate interceptions and airing it out reeks or turtle tom type attitude.

    And no there isn't only downside, the backups were in and getting them proper experience running the full offense serves the team well if they ever need to come in and start.

    Again suggesting that there is only downside is exactly turtle tom fear driven decisions.

    I keep hearing how there is only half a quarter separating time between the two, I am okay with this but keep running the same offense.

    21 attempts to 5 attempts with only a half a quarter difference in field time is not the same offense, we've been sold on all gas no brakes and that was not what happened.

    I thought Casey looked great when he played. Very crisp and you can tell he knows the plays. Kind of a bummer they didn't let him air it out a few times though. Probably would have had sark known Napier was going to be a cunt and call timeouts with under a minute left. 

    This, we paid them 1.5M to come in a take a beating and then started handing off once CT was let in the game.

    Letting him come in for mop up duty isn't going to make him feel any better if we don't keep running the offense.

    Man I love me Vince fucking Young. And I still hate the Texans for passing on him. No, I'll never get over it.

    Same, I always wonder if his career would have turned out differently if we would have drafted him.
