  1. What was absurd was saying you can’t see how we improve from last year. Just playing Ford over Brock all year would immediately be an improvement. Jabril Cox went from FCS All-American to starter at LSU and was good enough to get drafted in Round 3. Guys can immediately produce, especially a guy who’s on his sixth year in college and has produced at a high level for two straight years. On top of that, DTD had a good amount of P5 offers, so it’s clear other coaches also felt he’d be ready to make an impact right away. Based on that alone, it would be pretty ridiculous to not expect him to be an improvement over one of the worst LBs in all of Division 1.
  2. I mean this is absolutely absurd. You can’t see how DTD is an improvement over Luke Brockermeyer? He’s way, way better than Brock. You seem to be way too hung up on his HS recruiting ranking. And Ford was showing marked improvement at the end of last year and was our best ILB. It’s pretty easy to see how he will continue to improve this year going into year 3 and taking starter reps When combined with DTD, we’ll be much better at ILB than last year. Not good mind you, but much better than last year.
  3. That’s a pretty hilarious way to try to spin things. We averaged giving up over 31 ppg. That was 93rd in the country. Teams were absolutely scoring at will on us. The only reason more teams didn’t get over 35+ on us is because they were controlling the game by running it down our throats. And it had nothing to do with number of plays. We were 93rd in points per play and 100th in yards per play.
  4. Sark and Flood used Billingsley in 12 for the entire second half of the season when he was only a second year player and had the best offense in the country.
  5. Sure but that doesn’t explain why he’s so much lower comparatively for On3 than the other sites, which is what OP was asking.
  6. This has been a string of really dumb takes by you. You’re objectively wrong. Michael Thomas is in the 91st percentile of NFL WRs for athleticism. It’s obvious you’re basing athleticism solely off of 40 times, which is a really dumb way to measure it.
  7. Makes sense. I always tell people I’m Nicolas Cage with acting skills. It shouldn’t require Ethan Burke getting reps at edge to realize we really fucking suck there. We have Ovie, Sorrell, Dorbah and true freshman. We’re probably in the bottom 10-15 of P5 schools at edge right now unless one of the freshman is an absolute phenom.
  8. Well, besides actually winning football games of course.
  9. Shout out to Tex-19 and his ilk who live and die by every 9.95er report and make this thread insufferable for everyone to read. I mean you ate up the bullshit FCB spews and managed to compliment his track record of credibility in the same post the day before the other QB was named starter. Bravo, sir, bravo.
  10. You gotta hand it to him. He just keeps doubling down no matter what. He’s been dead wrong this whole time, but he still insists he was getting good info all offseason. Personally, I might question the credibility of my info at this point, but I guess that’s why I’d be a bad 9.95er. So your take is that the news of QE starting, which all the 9.95ers got completely wrong, doesn’t change the credibility of those same 9.95ers practice reports all offseason? I guess this helps answer the question of why 9.95ers still have subscribers.
  11. The fuck are you talking about? They haven’t seen shit. They’ve watched 10 minutes of warmups of a few practices, the spring game (where Ewers was better) and a single open practice. That’s it.
  12. Stop right there and delete your post next time.
  13. This is a very, very stupid post. We had like 5 defenses in the top 25 of DFEI. Except he basically never makes a play in a game, just gets blown up. Broughton has always been soft. He’s a basketball player in a football player’s body. It was obvious in HS he was massively overrated and soft as fuck. Him being what he is isn’t a surprise to people who were paying attention. He plays high, has a weak lower half, so it’s no surprise he’s soft and can’t anchor. Collina is a disappointment, but it sounds like he just hasn’t put in the work.
  14. I see you’re still fucking this chicken. I’m sure the season will play out to your expectations. I don’t think a single person on this site has ever said that, but it’s not your fault. You’re way too busy cashing this fat checks to actually read Surly.
  15. Actually it’s stupid as fuck to think we have any shot at having a shut down defense this year.
  16. Lol wut. These kind of takes will go better for you on TexAgs.
  17. These two could only dream of limiting a team to 7 YPC on outside runs.
  18. No idea where you got this from other than just pulling it out of your ass. I haven’t seen a single source say anything close to that. By all accounts, Hutson and Banks are the ones pushing for playing time right now, which isn’t surprising since it’s the only EE and the best player of the group.
  19. It’s not slander if it’s true.
  20. I’m really not sure where you’re getting this from. Gbenda almost always looked lost when he played and there wasn’t a noticeable jump in performance. Ford was the one who improved as the season went on.
