    My fault, got you and xcalibur mixed up. Your talent evaluation still applies though. 

    That's fine.  I will simply say that what happened in the NFL is the best way to filter the effect of them being wide open because their QB was such a running threat from how talented they actually were as WRs.

    Just went back and re-read your previous comment on Defense (below)

    " I didn't expect it to be as good as last year but I did expect it to improve some over the course of the year. Instead they've been pretty much the same. Hopefully a confidence booster vs Baylor and the bye will set the stage for the defense to turn it up a notch because the level they're at now will bite this team when the offense has an off day."

    Really good insight..... I had not considered if the Defense has been improving week by week or not.  Totally agree that the Defense has to keep getting better for remainder of the Season...... especially at DL, NB and LB.

    They'll look better.  Riley's offense puts a ton of pressure on the LBs and NB in particular.  It might be hard to tell if they are actually improved or just not getting whipsawed every other play.

    Holy shit there are some craptastic takes on the 2005 Longhorns in here. Do you even football bro? First off it's clear when you talk about talent, you're basing it off of what happened in the NFL. Billy Pittman, Limas Sweed, and Romance Taylor weren't average D1 receivers any way you slice it. The 2005 Texas offense was a points scoring juggernaut that had Vince came back in 2006 would've been even better. The only team that was able to slow down Texas was Ohio St. that had a defense filled with NFL talent and even that wasn't enough. Yes, David Thomas was an incredibly Tight End. Yes, the Linebackers were probably just above average. 

    With Jamaal, Vince, Romance, and Selvin Young toting the rock. And Huff, Griffin, Griffin, and Ross as the DB's not too mention having Tarell Brown as a nickel 2005 Texas wins this game going away. 

    Texas 42

    Bama 24

    I'm confused about what or whom you're responding to.  I didn't even compare 2005 Texas to 2018 Alabama.  At no point did I suggest, much less state that the VY led Longhorns would lose to the current Tide squad.  Please go back and read again.

    Passing rating, actually. No one is comparing him to Drew Brees. Stay on topic champ. 

    I'm attempting to illustrate a point using an individual case.  Having the highest rating doesn't make you the best passer.  VY vs Drew Brees is a perfect illustration of that point.  I'd think it was obvious and it's bothersome to have to explain something that should be self-evident.

    Sam may not be VY or Colt, but he's playing at a high enough level (coupled with an improved o-line) to get us to competing for the conference championship this year, which was a big goal this year and the right trend marker.  

    It's a tremendous relief to be able to beat quality opponents without elite QB play.  That's another big difference from the Mack Brown era.

    The idiot is you my friend. 

    No one mentioned Drew Brees. 

    You brought #1 QB rating into the discussion.  It's VERY easy to get to Drew Brees from there.  It's not 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

    I'm kind of amazed this story hasn't gotten more traction. This is a fucking vice president of business affairs who's over-ruling the calls of an entire on-field refereeing crew as well as the supposedly impartial central command booth. If anything, the referees should be in revolt right now.

    Exactly.  Calls on the field should never be overruled as a business decision.

    He led the fucking NFL in passer rating for a season...

     

    How quickly they forget

    VY could make opposing secondaries cover downfield for 6-8 seconds while being forced to keep one eye on the backfield..  That doesn't make him a better passer than Drew Brees.  To see what happened when he had to function as a pure passer, look at the results when his idiot coach forced him to sit in the pocket.

    Our merely above average passer had the highest passing efficiency rating in the entire nation at the end of the regular season.

    Sure.  Because the way we covered up that weakness was to suck the LBs and safeties up in run support because VY was a transcendent threat on the ground.  He was constantly throwing against single coverage on the outside and zone coverage isn't that effective when everyone focuses on the QB rather than the man running through their zone.  Also, one of the pass-catching TEs I've ever seen at the college level made a nice safety blanket, especially against LBs who were looking somewhere else.

    Yeah someone needs to call them out for kicking the shit out of every team on their schedule. Something just isn't adding up.

    EVERY team has weaknesses.  Our great 2005 team had a merely above average passer, mediocre WRs and LBs who tended to overpursue and were vulnerable to misdirection.  They simply covered those weaknesses with even bigger strengths elsewhere.  I see neither harm nor some failing as a fan in discussing those weaknesses WRT 2018 Alabama.

    Lol at all the Bama doubters in here. That team is an absolute machine and they'll easily walk into the playoff undefeated. How much of those rushing yards are given up by the backups who start playing in the 2nd and 3rd quarter? 

    We are comparing them to previous Bama defenses, not to OU's defense.  Saban played backups in mop up duty in prior years as well.

    Well we’ll all be alive when they fire jimbo and have to pay out the rest of his contract.

    The endless upside of aggy is that they will constantly make bad decisions because they will never realize or acknowledge that THEY are the problem.

    The 18 Wheeler used  a QB counter with the backside guard and either a pulling tackle or back as the lead blockers.  This is straight zone blocking, usually with a double team on the contain man and a kick out block by the back.

    I just realized that we used some of those down blocks with a backside guard pulling on a QB run.  It was on 4th and 2 in the 3rd quarter around the 12:00 mark.

    Wow...5'8 Jhenna Gabriel in for Shook....

    I'm surprised she's first off the bench instead of Fisbeck.  I guess Elliot trusts her since she's come in to serve in big situations.
