  1. I mean, they can tread water with Ewers. They got him on the cheap. Today was tough going against The 11-5 Pats when you have a depleted roster and no line. Last week against a lesser team he was out there doing his thing. They are probably looking at it like use Ewers to rebuild and assess. Again, you got him for peanuts, and he will likely get a little better and is already serviceable. Might as well see what you got after a strong offseason.
  2. You never know how old people are here. I mean it's a message board, so you would assume people are ancient but there are some who were too young to really be able to process what they were seeing.
  3. You get Waddle, Achane, and Hill back. Use your picks and free agency to shore up the line and get some help on D. You could get to 9 wins or so. But you ain't winning that division.
  4. Listen dude. I don't know if you are old enough or not so I am going to remind you. In 2005 Vince Young Led the team in rushing with over 1000 yards at 7 yards a carry as a QB and led the team in rushing TDs with 12. He also threw for over 3000 yards as well at 65% with 26 TDs. All while playing for Greg Davis. I said that to say there was nothing sophisticated about our offense. Sark's offense has layups built into it. VY's offense, everyone knew what was coming and still couldn't stop it. When we stopped fucking with him and just let him eat, he was absolutely unstoppable. Literally.
  5. I mean, yeah. All they had was Waddle and Hill and both are out. Achane is out too. Starting TE is out. Lol. Couple that with a bad defense and this is a for sure loss.
  6. Yeah, watching their personnel, there isn't a name brand player out there. We are midway thru the 3rd and the Pats have 180 yards rushing. They are terrible.
  7. Trying to bite off more than he should. Rookie error. Just take the checkdown.
  8. Yeah, this is hard to watch. The Pats have 108 yards rushing and two TDs already in the 1st quarter.
  9. Who are you? Lol
  10. I thought it was known that if a player officially entered the portal (submitted paper work) Sark made it clear there was no returning to Texas. Which is how it has to be. And you would be 100% correct. So if that is the case why is he saying this at the 18:30 mark instead of the truth, which is if you go in the portal it's over?
  11. I will ask you since others haven't answered. What's Sark's policy on his players going into the portal?
  12. Thatguy replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    Lol. Dude, Moore isn't WR1. We threw 54 balls to Wingo and schemed the passing game around him hoping he would tap into that "potential". Moore was fine in the role Sark put him in, which was basically a security blanket.
  13. What is Sark's policy on his player's going into the portal?
  14. Thatguy replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    Moore is a solid receiver. We just didn't utilize him. Our second most productive receiver. Last year Moore had 7 TDs to Golden's 9 with 20 less targets. We worked him in the short game and he was solid.
  15. You are a receiver on the team. Early part of the season you are involved. Towards the end of the season your touches and time on the field drops. You are out of the starting rotation and are the 4th guy coming in. You can feel that. You can feel your role slipping away. You probably had a talk or two about what you can do to get on the field more. You aren't going to come in all cocky asking for 800k. It doesn't even make sense. Now it makes sense that Moore would do that, but a guy who has only played this year and a limited role at that? come on.
  16. Dude, I've addressed everything you've said. Given you scenarios. The player himself comes out and tweets. You are just going to call anyone that has that opinion a liar. You see, when the program says its about money it turns into he said she said and the player is the one who looks like the asshole. There is no proving it one way or the other. Dude played in the bowl game. 24 hours later he is in the portal and pissed off. I was told he was informed he didn't have much a role here. You were told he wanted 800k. Bobby says he was offered mid 6 figures. I guess RS Freshman Nate Kibble didn't like his money either huh? That's 17 kids that have now portaled out. From a blue blood that is winning with a top tier QB and one of the best DCs in the country. You check writers need to get to work.
  17. Yessa massah. I is powerful glad you set me straight suh. You write the checks after all.
  18. If a kid is told he 6 on the rotation of 4, regardless of the money you are pushing him out. You know he isn't just going to "not play". It's not even a conspiracy. It's what coaches do when they want to push people out. It's weird to me that you guys think 16 people went into the portal because they wanted more money. Lol. But I will leave y'all too it. This is why I stay off the recruiting board.
  19. That's not how it goes. You are part of an organization that does end of year evals. Your boss calls you in for yours and explains what they think your role will be going forward. They do this shit even at the high school level fellas. It's not rocket surgery. Don't you think it's weird all the other "want more money" guys already had their talks and were in the portal? Parker plays in the bowl game and then all the sudden jumps in the portal and firs out a "it wasn't me" tweet? Connect the dots Jimmy.
  20. Who the fuck are you? Hey @BurntOrange&White where these fuckin new guys coming from?
  21. We talk a lot of shit but you know I have no ill will toward you. Same with @Dahobbs. Truly, my worry is us being a revolving door where as soon as we get someone in, we are losing just as much or more. That's kinda what is happening. We came into this season with 3 decent LBs, Hill, Smith, and Lefau. Two left, and now even if we get one decent one we are still thin. Plus kids talk. Shaun Rogers daughter is a friend of my daughter and is at SMU playing volleyball. If the SMU program is bullshit and my daughter was thinking about committing Kennedi would tell her do not come here. Like football, all these kids been playing against each other or on the same club teams(7 on 7) since middle school and keep in touch. We've lost a lot this season for a blue blood program who had a strong year with a strong finish. We used to have people portal out, never to be heard from again. However, now are losing serious contributors at a time when we are winning and we just brought in one of the best DC's around. That's all I am saying. I've flamed this thread enough. Time to move on.
  22. Out of my depth? You just watched an entire season that went sideways because we didn't get kids properly evaluated due to small rotations and lack of experience. Yet you still don't recognize what is right in front of your face. So a few questions for you? Why was Arch, a guy who had been here two years already at the start of the season, not ready to go day one? Why did we not know whether or not we had a LG or C who could play coming into the season? Why were we playing Baxter all year only to find out that Clark can run the football? Why were there a ton of mistakes in the secondary when Taafe went out? For a guy who according to you is "pretending to know what is going on during a given play", I sure as shit have been right a lot on this board huh? I called this season last year when you guys were beating your chests about how 2025 was the year. Was it a lucky guess? Or was I telling you last year that Arch was staring down the deep routes, and the interior O-line has been a problem since Sark has been here? Oh, what? I was? Then shut the fuck up, because I don't remember you being the voice of reason AT ALL.
  23. I'm suggesting the chain of command doesn't have to report to you if it decides there was no negotiations to be had. You guys come into play when there is interest of working something out. You 9.95ers are something else man.
