  1. Thinks can obviously change only one month into the season, but.. #1 feels pretty wide open to me right now. Mendoza, Sellers, and Moore seem possible, although Moore's lack of starts has to be concerning, also curious to see what he actually measures at. This could be a year where a combine measurables monster at DL or OT jumps everyone. An elite CB, WR, or DT from past classes could have potentially gone #1 in this class, but I don't think there's that guy at any of those positions this year Downs is awesome, but if you're going to take a safety in the top five, you probably want someone who gets interceptions, although this isn't your normal top five A LB won't go #1, but Arvell Reese looks like a monster, and he's seemingly already passed up his teammate, the Georgia guy, and Hill as the top LB, and I wonder if he'll sneak up into the top five. He's sneakily one of the best players in the country, and he's also projectable Kenyon Sadiq should probably go in the top ten in this class. People love the high end receiving TEs, but the ones who can block at every level while being very good WRs rather than elite are becoming more valuable now that the name of the game is punishing light boxes and creative defensive looks in the run game
  2. Brugler has been down on the top of the draft recently, talking about how the QBs and some of the other previously graded/mocked top three types have mostly disappointed. A few weeks ago he talked about how it might be OTs towards the top, and now he's saying while it's a deep OT class, those guys are mostly good rather than great Here's a new mock by Tice and his buddy https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/2026-nfl-mock-draft-10-an-edge-defender-goes-no-1-and-4-qbs-follow-him-in-the-top-10-220558890.html
  3. I'll need to go back and look at what all I've watched when I find some time. Weapons was an all-timer for me, and Shrouds and 28 Years Later were great. Together wasn't for me Bring Her Back was solid, but this is cool https://www.blackangeltapes.net/
  4. Hell yeah! Fuck field goals!
  5. What time to the SEC Wednesday injury practice reports typically come out?
  6. Do any of the PFF bros here have the participation charts by game for Florida?
  7. I think they can try it. Go with a three deep safety look and spam sim pressures, and hope that the Texas run game isn't too efficient or explosive. Hope for some redzone stops. Won't stop us every time, but probably will lead to some OL busts and Arch mistakes If they just do what they've been doing all season (sitting in match quarters), Sark will probably have a conveyor belt of quarters beaters queued up, assuming Arch/skill players don't fuck them up or the OL doesn't allow too many quick pressures
  8. I think the Texas offense will move the ball more than fine on a play by play basis, just need Arch to not shit his pants on 3rd/4th downs and score when they get inside the five. Need Arch to not fuck up the initial couple of scripted drives due to being too amped up or whatever, and need him to settle in at some like he did vs SHSU after he got hit running up the middle. It'll be interesting to see if they junk up their defense and throw something new at us after a bye week; this has slowed down Sark offenses in the past, but leads to defenses being susceptible to mistakes Florida's offense is a train wreck but they'll probably still put together a couple of sustained drives. Similar to in the paragraph above, the Texas defense will just need to keep them out of the endzone when they do have longer successful drives Keep in mind Billy Napier will try to lose this game with game management decisions. Mario Cristobal thinks Billy Napier is an idiot game manager
  9. So Circa's line for the game remains the same as the open line; -7 But the O/U has dropped from 47.5 to 42
  10. Just piggy backing here, but playing armchair sports psychologist, they lost to South Florida and then lost to two rivals in LSU and Miami. Then a bye. Now they have Texas at home followed by traveling to A&M. Not sure if there's a spike in motivation here, especially with a road A&M game next. Seems like just another tough game in a tough as shit schedule after they lost to a shitty in-state school and then two rivals.
  11. If you watch the Miami game, Lagway didn't look right physically or mentally. He looked injured and slow running, and he looked completely lost trying to read the defense Their one good drive was almost exclusively running the ball, but if they fall behind the chains in a series they're probably fucked
  12. No mention of defensive tackle Caleb Banks, probably their best player. I'm assuming he's out
  13. We'll find out if he's practicing early in the week
  14. Seemingly half of Baltimore's starters weren't playing about halfway through the KC game due to injuries, including Lamar leaving with a hammy Obviously his status is a major deal, but that of Ronnie Stanley and Nate Wiggins is too
  15. Fanduel and Draftkings have Texas -7.5 this morning, and a couple of other sites have -6.5 He's been practicing after spending last Sunday and Monday in a precautionary boot
  16. Why don't you think he'll play?

    This is one of my favorite shows, and was watching live from the beginning Whenever I recommend the show, I make sure the person knows the first chunk of season two functions as a weed out class, but eventually it flips and is worth it
  20. That's kind of the perfect time to do it, if I'm correct
  21. The coaches just be trying shit
  22. To be clear, my theory isn't sandbagging. It's actually closer to the opposite of that. Trying to be good at everything early in the season rather than focusing on a couple of run concepts and knowing those like the back of your dick
  23. Something I've been kicking around in the noggin I wonder if Sark wants an offense that scales up to being able to hit the highest notes of game-planning against the best competition. He wants to be able to run just about every run play possible. Different runs require different techniques not limited to steps, rules, and angles, and there's a reason some coaches prefer to major in one type of run (whether it's IZ, OZ, counter, duo, etc). Because of the time and practice constraints in college, and because you're dealing with college kids, there's a true give-take between the quality of blocking for a given scheme and the number of schemes you're implementing. Also it's possible that working on a variety of runs in college leads to more of a focus on just getting your assignment right and "shield blocking" rather than aggressively displacing your man To start the season you're probably looking at being surface-level at a lot of schemes while hoping you have a couple of runs to hang your hat on; looking at a jack of all runs, master of some (or none). When defenses show unexpected wrinkles that you didn't rep that week, but you know that you've taught it in practice at some point, OL is a weakest link position, and it only takes one OL fuck up the play. To start the season, you're hoping that experience or young-but-bright OL grok it as much as possible, but as the season goes on your level of understanding goes up across the board. It's a process. You'd love to know which players get it in fall camp if not spring camp so you can start the building up process as soon as possible, but sometimes that just doesn't in the cards, or injuries happen. Sometimes your game-planning for week one and a player keeps fucking up his assignment against the expected fronts/stunts. Anyway, this is just a theory, but I'm hoping the OL individually and collectively gets better at the various runs as the season goes on. I think the passing game will eventually click at a high level that scales up, but I'm hoping the run get will get to the point to where it truly punishes defenses rather than just jabs them
  24. Hoping we can get an early multiview with the Clemson, Bama, Oregon, and OU games
  25. For those who like to use PFF as a bible, here's an example of the various services that NFL writers/analysts use that varies at a ridiculous degree for a metric And PFF's NFL stuff has much more money and eyes put on it than their college stuff
