  1. In his post he clearly said in “the CFB playoff”, which is true
  2. Obviously Simmons will be an issue for most offenses, but I think Texas is going to have some killer sim pressures this year featuring Hill and the DTs that could be almost as problematic Simmons should require two blockers on obvious passing downs, but the sim pressures really fuck with your blocking numbers even if you block them up, and those two in combination could make it difficult for offenses to get as many guys out on routes as they’re hoping for
  3. Their playoff OL was helped last year by the best running back room in the country and a QB that could run
  4. Odd that they'd rave about someone starting for the Vikings, but whatever floats their boat
  5. Their OL got worse over the course of the season because it got injured over the course of the season, and probably bottomed out against Michigan. They got good enough for the playoffs though, in large part due to Donovan Jackson holding up at left tackle
  6. Flores was actually relatively successful in Miami and is now arguably the best DC in the NFL
  7. Baker is an improvement on Cam Williams playing on one leg at right tackle
  8. They played him all over the place, and he was good all over the place. On our first drive alone, he plays "big nickel", tampa two inside linebacker, overhang, and deep safety in a two safety shell
  9. Back to +2.5 https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/las-vegas/
  10. Even when I agree with what he’s saying or find it insightful, his long winded delivery is a tough listen for me. It probably comes with having to fill time on a solo show that he built from the ground up, but I do a lot of x2 speed and 30 second skips until he talks about the big games of the week There are only two sports podcasts that I speed up (because I’ll typically just stop listening instead), and the other is simply because every pod is 2-2.5 hours long (Sam Vecenie’s) instead of being annoying
  11. I like his gambling stuff I listen to his oped CFB news takes on 2xs speed though because he requires 10 minutes to get a 1 minute point across, which gets old fast on a one-man show Also he visited A&M a few offseason ago and got VIP treatment, and he’s treated them with kid’s gloves ever since
  12. Sorry, I meant that the guy who'd been practicing at LT all offseason (the Rice guy) recently got moved to the right side (both RG and RT), and the guy who'd been practicing at RT (Siereveld?) is now their starting LT
  13. What the fuck does this have to do with KSU vs ISU you menstruating man-fish
  14. Moved the RT to LT, and the Rice guy is competing with someone else to start at RT. Sounds like the Rice guy has been a bit of a disappointment One of the most common Texas specific posts you'll see is their concern about blocking Collin Simmons
  15. I think on the road week one against arguably the best team in the country, they prefer experience if given the choice
  16. I think length is probably the biggest issue, similar to what @SydneyCarton struggles with
  17. I'd guess that it'd be that combination in some order. Could then be Baker to LT, Neto to LG, and Hutson to RT. I'd think they want experience/seniority in Columbus
  18. You could keep Baker at RT since that's where he's been excelling, and then Hutson at LT, which isn't ideal, but he probably won't straight up suck Maybe Hutson-Neto-Roberson-Campbell-Baker?
  19. So an 8-seed implies losing to Ohio State, Georgia, and one more? That's possible, but I don't think probable
  20. Listening to some national voices this week (also locally, Ian Boyd seems to be in this camp) on Texas, I think many of them are really missing the boat on the transfer additions. For instance, Bill Connelly has been on multiple podcasts talking about how Texas is basically starting over on both lines (which isn't true, there's multiple returners on both sides) and needs Arch to be special to justify being the best team in the country, but fails to mention that Texas brought in five quality DTs, the worst of which is probably a starter for an average P4 team, and the other four can play for anyone in the country to varying degrees. And given the amount of attention Simmons and Hill require from the offense, the DTs don't even have to be particularly special to be a problem I think there's a chance that the Texas defense might be the best side of the ball in the country, and I suspect that Sark is looking to compliment that with an NFL-style under center/pistol early downs running/play-action offense (as opposed to an RPO shotgun early downs offense) that'll both help out the OL in the run game and help scheme WRs open into space, and then on 3rd and long you have Justin Herbert Arch Manning hero ball. Add in a high end punter, and this might be a 2021-2022 Georgia / 2023 Meat Chicken murderball squad
  21. It's -2 or -2.5 depending on the book https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/las-vegas/
