  1. I tell you what....when Bryce Young gets on the podium at SEC Media days and praises Sark ....well that cannot hurt. When he goes on to say Sark was the reason he went to Bama...and that he learned a lot from him in the short time they were together...

     

    I doubt Saban wanted to hear that and I know Jimbo damned sure didnt....

  2. everything about last year was a clown show. I think we were having team meetings in the girls shower or some such crap. PK was the last defensive coach hired wasnt he?..How was he supposed to get it right when he didnt even know who he was working with? No such excuse this year. I just hope Coburn is under 335lbs....same for Sweat.

    I dont give a rats ass about 3-3 4-3 2-2 or any of that , I just want to see the cb line up closer than 15 yds from the receiver....

    Some team notes from the Brainiacs, with mentions about the newcomers . . . paraphrased of course.

    No leadership yet in the LB room. Jaylan Ford has been putting up great testing numbers since January. He's the most physically gifted LB in the room. Tucker-Dorsey has pushed the group a bit but a leader needs to emerge.

    Overshown has been getting reps at Edge. Not sure how much he plays there. Coaches want as much speed on the field as they can get.

    Byron Murphy has looked best out of all the interior DL.

    A trio of freshmen have been performing exceptionally well. J'Mond Tapp, Kris Ross and Justice Finkley.

    Finkley's body has transformed since arriving in January. He's living in the weight room and it's showing.

    Ross has put up the best testing times for anyone at his position. He's been very impressive

    Sark has a pretty serious heart condition. I hope he wins a couple and hands it off to a successor in the next 10 years.
     

    This isn’t an easy job. Mack aged about as rapidly as a US President. 

    say what? I never heard a whisper about that. Fact is I am close to calling bullshit on that.

    Thx for this info @oldhorn2

    A couple of practice notes from TFB . . . . 

    Devon Campbell brought his lunch pale to Austin with him. He's really impressing. He is the fastest OL we have, true athlete. Both he and Banks are standing out with their athleticism, which Texas has not had in years.

    Cam Williams has been working over the summer. He is down below 360 now.

    Connor Robertson, TFB says, will one day take over the center position. When he does, he'll be the most athletic center we've had in a while. Needs to spend more time in the weight room though.

    Encouraging feedback on Cole Hutson and Hayden Connor. Connor will see lots of PT this season. Hutson is now almost 6'5 and 320 lbs.

    hey...my stolen stories are your stolen stories....

  5. maybe this will help...

    Hopefully Arch has spent time with Peyton and Eli learning how to read defenses and understanding the weakness in the pre snap alignment and looking for tendencies of upcoming opponents.

    nope....preposterous idea. Why in the world would a kid dreaming of starring in the NFL someday ever watch a game with his two super bowl champ uncles? Hell, I bet they never ever threw the ball around either....

  7. ok....we have QB's with all the arm talent one could ask for. Supposedly both have super high football IQ's. The one ingredient we will not know about for some time is whether these guys are great "generals" on the field for lack of a better word. Perhaps Leader would be better. In my opinion the  two best I have seen in my lifetime were Vince Young and James Street. Vince with that calm, confident manner that helped the whole team to relax knowing he had their back....The way he led the summer workouts before that Natty year....He put up a bulletin board saying to meet him everyday that summer on the practice field.....if they wanted to beat OSU!

    James Street the way he took the team and never lost a game. The way he stayed confident no matter what....and when fate came calling facing that 4th and 3 or 5 or whatever with DKR telling him to run aPASS PLAY???...a long one at that....He even came back and asked "coach are you sure?"   DKR waved him on....he goes to the huddle like he called the play himself....he looks at Spires and says..."Randy, listen up. I am looking at Cotton, but I am talking to you. You are gonna be a hero"....He then goesout and dropped a dime between double coverage and the rest was history.

     

    I want a guy that can recognize his moment and then grab it by the throat!...............goddammit I am worked up!...Hookem!!

  8. this is all well and good, but I am curious.....which is considered the better prospect? Who is the most accurate and has the stronger arm? Frankly, I am still pissed at Herman for cheating us out of Ewers in the first place. We could have used that damned recruiting bump 2 years ago that we expect we will get now.

    We have two QBs that are significantly better than Colt. We have two VYs but with significantly better NFL prospects. 

    .....ehhhh....you might slow your roll there. Garrit Gilbert was significantly better than Colt until he got into a game and we found out he wasnt. Better Pro prospects thanVY??? Better than ROY? Fucked up coaching killed VY's career, not his prospects....

    You’re getting at least 2 out of each of them and probably 3 out of at least 1. 

    this is a whole new situation. Neither guy has to go to the League to get paid. If they are having a good enough time playing school, one or both might just hang around....

    I think Ewers will be better than Arch, but Arch will be more than good enough to win us a ton of games. Plus the recruiting bounce he brings will be great. Looks like we have the QB situation figured out for the next 4 seasons hopefully. Ewers will bounce after next year and Arch has the 2 years after that before he’s gone. Window for a title is now. 

    ....maybe....somehow I have that little niggling concern about our Oline and Dline being championship ready right out of the gate. Maybe by the end of the year with no major injuries( has that ever happened?) we might be pretty good. However, sometimes you have to go undefeated to win the Natty....

    Jeff Fisher is a worse professional football coach than Barry Switzer. Change my mind. 

    Fisher actively lowers his team's win probability with pussy decisions. He might be decent with a decidedly inferior roster because he coaches to lose by as little as possible. He doesn't coach to win. He is not a championship coach almost by definition. He's a loser. 

    Switzer was an incompetent boob as an NFL coach but he let his players play and got the hell out of the way. 

    best line ever by a sports writer came from Dan Cook of the San Antonio Express when Switzer got hired by Jerra....."Switzer coaching in the NFL? The NFL is a passing League. The only thing Switzer knows about passing is that his teams couldn't do it"
