  1. He lost $30M guaranteed from the Raiders, another $12M guaranteed from the Patriots, and potentially another $1M with the Bucs. He's kinda sucks at "getting away with" bullshit.
  2. Arians was the OC in Pittsburgh for awhile, but I'm not sure if he crossed paths with AB during his tenure there.
  3. He previously tested positive September 25th so it was over 90 days when he tested positive again.
  4. I believe Cooper gets a 90 day reprieve from testing due to having Covid. I forget whether or not Lamb already had before.
  5. His kid may mess around and get a tennis scholarship. It would be funny if UT was his best offer.
  6. Sarunas Marciulionis is actually credit for it even though there is footage of Dr. J, Elgin Baylor, and other guys doing it as far back as the 60s.
  7. Who did he get the 4th win against. I count only Indy, Tampa, & Arizona. Baltimore doesn't count because the record above is for +.500 teams.
  8. Febres had microfracture surgery and only came back the last 3rd of the season.
  9. Why are people posting in this thread instead of creating a game thread?
  10. I like the purposefulness of the offense to start out.
  11. Has recruiting ever been this concentrated amongst just a few schools? I don't follow it as closely as I did in the 00s, but I don't remember a time when 3 or 4 schools routinely locked up such a high % of the top 100. Bama, Georgia, & Ohio St dominate recruiting like no other period of time before. They get 3 or 4 five star players seemingly every year. Then throw in another 15 years of SEC propaganda and lesser teams like Kentucky tend to recruit way above their historical weight which hurts schools like Michigan and Michigan St that recruit Ohio kids who dont go to Ohio St.
  12. I remember Anthony Johnson but had no clue we ever had a Charlie Williams as a WR coach. I would've lost money on that trivia question.
  13. So 2 of the 5 teams were within the top 40% of D1 basketball in terms of pace and another was essentially smack dab in the middle (358 teams in D1). All things being equal most fans prefer an aesthetically pleasing style of play, but we prefer winning over any and everything else. Beard is my archetype of a college coach in terms of his personality, urgency, organization, and even marketing acumen so I'm not going to be too critical of his preferred offensive style of play. I mean it would probably be too much to ask for him to hit 10 out of 10 on my dream coach checklist so I'll settle for 9.
  14. Weird that it's showing up blocked when I can see it free and clear. Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQxp-A5uvkA
  15. I've watched that highlight a million times and have seen a screen shot of the moment before Romo flings the pass. Beasley is wide ass open over the middle for a first down on that play. But in all honesty I loved Romo for attempting plays like that and it's what made him a favorite of mine. He was just snake bitten. I imagine Cowboys fans a bit older than me feel the same way about Danny White. Here's the play here: Beasely is lined in the slot on the right side and you see he's wide open.
  16. Forget about the Dez' catch the real turning point in that game was DeMarco's fumble. Not only was it a momentum changer, but Murray was going to go 59 yards on that run and put us up 21-10 in the 3rd which would've given us a 2-score buffer for the exchange of TDs between the 2 teams over the next few drives. Could've sworn the Rodgers on one leg game was during the 2016 season playoff game with Dak at the helm?!?!?
  17. All the best WRs in the NFL right now fit the Xavier Worthy profile as opposed to the Julio Jones profile. 5'11" to 6'1" with great route running, speed, and quickness. Obviously if you find a unicorn like Julio Jones you take him, but he better be worth it in terms of his athleticism.
  18. A team with a deficiency in talent should play slower and limit possessions and vice versa if the case is the opposite. I don't know whether Beard played that way due to preference or as part of a strategy to compensate for the talent gap. Time will tell, but at Texas he'll often have way more talent than his opponents so playing a style of play that increases your chances of being upset doesn't seem like the best strategy. Regardless his defense is suffocating enough that we'll always be competitive irrespective of how slow we play or how much talent we have.
  19. I'm just glad we've finally entered the modern age of football and stopped chasing after 6'3+ WRs who cant get a sippy cup open. You would have thought our 2007 through 2009 WR core would've taught us a lesson about what works for today's passing games, but it still took us another decade plus to process those lessons.
  20. Yeah he's a kid I wondered about after Beard took the job, because he originally committed under Smart as a preferred walkon with potential to eventually get a scholi. Glad he still came. His high school highlights looked like he had good potential to turn into something worthwhile.
  21. If it we played at a quicker pace, resulting in getting more shots up, it would probably help to mitigate some of the issues with the number of capable players we have.
  22. Oh it would've eventually happened, however, given all his personal failings Herman is a good coach. If he were ever to overcome his insecurities, overall hubris, and the personality quirks that hold him back he'd be a great coach.
  23. Herman is/was an asshole, but does anyone seriously think he gets fired if the EOT stuff never happens. Just having a controversy (made up or otherwise) like that in the public space did as much to kill recruiting momentum as Herman's personality.
