  1. The effectiveness of the interior OL in the running game is still a question to me, which is why I think spreading out to short/intermediate pass vs those defenses is what we major in. If we try to run down their throats, odds are drives will become tougher due to too many negative plays
  2. You can shred these defenses if you’re efficient, and I think Texas is potentially very efficient with three strong chain moving options in Sanders, Mitchell, and Whitt, along with potential game breakers in Worthy and Neyor. The higher efficiency should give more opportunities for explosive passes to those Quinn showed considerable process in the bowl game at spraying the ball around in the short and intermediate passing game My top concern is cashing in the redzone. What’s our money play there?
  3. Why wouldn't it make it "through the body of the DL and OL" considering it was released from a three quarters arm slot? How do you know it was late? It looks like a timing route hitting the WR in stride. Was the WR late too?
  4. There are some interesting nuggets in here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bill-connelly-on-predicting-college-football-in-2023/id1173754914?i=1000623870092
  5. Talking Ewers at the 53:03 mark https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prospects-to-pros-2024-qb-class-early-look-caleb-williams/id1528622068?i=1000623894413
  6. I think it's a four year trailing average, which should give an approximate roster strength, especially pre-portal
  7. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep23-04-roast-mode-the-weak-spots-for-each-top-10-team/id1584008032?i=1000623686601
  8. His biggest strength is pulling and second level blocking, imo
  9. Dusty only started Diaz in 1/4 games in this series
  10. The guards were significant worse than Majors last year
  11. If our guards suck again, we’ll be a bad run blocking line again
  12. Sure, they can get better. Thanks for clearing that up
  13. Sure, but that's because the entire defense was in conflict due to Georgia's running/short game (which was also schematically out-flanking TCU), which they weren't going to be able to hold up to. Our interior OL and 2nd TE aren't quite there yet
  14. I think TCU's defense was just physically overmatched, and Georgia executed (no pun intended) It helps when you have Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington
  15. It's what much of the Big XII does. It's also what much of the NFL does (two deep safety shells, not so much three safety).
  16. I'm assuming teams are going to sit in two or three deep safety shells and dare us to march down the field through execution, while counting on a negative play derailing the drive, usually via attacking our interior OL through simulated pressures/games (our interior is the weak link). I think Texas has several great reliable chain movers (Sanders, Whittington, Mitchell) if Ewers can find them accurately who can eventually force defenses to change their strategy
  17. Ewers' performance in the bowl game was promising in regard. He regularly hit chain moving timing passes that he struggled with or passed up earlier in the season. He did miss a couple of deep balls, but he also had two dropped by Worth and another broken up by a ref not calling a defensive hold
