  1. Off-ball linebacker means a linebacker who lines up off the line of scrimmage behind a DL (usually called an inside linebacker but could also be an outside linebacker in a 4-3 who is off the LOS and behind a DE), which is different from an outside linebacker who plays edge and lines up on the LOS, like a defensive end. Since there are so many different formations and schemes these days, outside linebacker can mean a lot of different things, so people have started using off-ball LB and edge as a way to clearly describe a player’s function regardless of formation/specific terminology.
  2. So far, the type of fans this decision seems to alienate are JFCKFC, Loop 1604, Westcott Eberts, and BWG. In which case, it seems like a real win-win.
  3. Lol wut. You listed 5 guys and said we’re good. 1 of them is coming off a major injury, 2 are true freshman, and 1 guy has only stayed healthy in 1 out of 4 seasons. We absolutely still need a portal WR.
  4. This was my point. I’m not saying it’s impossible to replicate, but a guy who’s only been in it one year who has as unimpressive of a resume as Huard isn’t going to be able to do it successfully.
  5. This is way off base. Riley’s offense is drastically different than Leach’s and Leach’s other offshoots. just because he’s part of the Leach coaching tree doesn’t make it the same offense. no one else in the country runs Riley’s offense, because it’s complex and difficult to replicate. Hiring a guy who was selected as an off-field assistant by Riley one year ago to replicate Riley’s offense would never work. And Jimbo would never agree to that big of a change in offensive philosophy anyways. Jimbo’s hiring him because he was recently a GA at A&M and Jimbo knows it’s someone who will do what he tells him to.
  6. And they went 2-8, and finished last in their conference that year, so he’ll fit right in with this A&M squad.
  7. *NIL Youre really going to confuse the olds if you start mixing up those two.
  8. That’s like saying a post is really stupid even for the Football Board.
  9. Don’t count out Oklahoma. They’ve been pooling all their resources to get back in this.
  10. I just love that an old white dude who is nicknamed “The Choater” is killing it in recruiting in the year of our Lord 2022.
  11. You edited your post and you still spelled season with a k. @SydneyCarton would be proud.
  12. Your posts are wrong about the timing. If she submits an affidavit of non-prosecution, then the DA usually drops the case and doesn’t indict, because they already know the witness won’t cooperate. So her submitting that could get the case dropped quickly, regardless of when they would actually need her to testify.
  13. UH and Tech in back to back weekends? Sure seems like the actions of a guy getting processed.
  14. TIL being selected as one of the top 10 LBs in CFB means you’re mediocre.
  15. If you’re including portal guys in that, then you need to add more spots for portals.
  16. Holy shit. Literally everything about this post is wrong. We don’t have good IDL depth with a lot of last year’s takes being questionable if they can play inside, and we don’t have anyone on the roster right now who is better than Ojomo at his spot. Collins could be next year if he takes a big step forward over the offseason, but that’s a big if based on his history here. I know some thought we’d pass on him once we got Hill, but I really hope we go full out on him. He’ll be one of those guys who turns into an all-conference player at TCU in 2-3 years. He’s got a ton of positional versatility and it wouldn’t shock me if he turned out to be better than Hill by the end of his college career.
  17. I think the switch from Yale to aggy broke his brain and then it was just all downhill from there. It’s truly mind boggling to think he turned down Yale to end up getting a degree from San Jose State and never even sniffing professional football. Where the fuck were his parents when he was making that decision?
  18. I have no clue if they’ll flip the TE, but it’s hard for me to even imagine what it must be like for that kid mentally grasp the switch from Stanford to aggy. That’s like breaking up with Olivia Munn so you can date KKL.
