  1. Can't fault the decision making process too much but the decision itself was a shitty one for Ewers. We'll take him though. Hope he doesn't compound the bad decision through general prolonged indecision on actually portalling. Stroud was one of the highest performing QBs at his Elite 11 among some other really high end players, there's every reason to have expected him to be the starter and he is. Either Ewers severely overestimated himself or he underestimated his opposition especially when the big money would come at a number of other schools with a bigger need for his talents
  2. I cheerlead for Cooks during his recruitment because I was smelling disaster at LB coming and we needed takes. Not because he was some transcendent player. Morice Blackwell has played on special teams and came inches away from a punt block return TD. If Cooks can't put the time in and has momma cheering him to move on then that's the type of player entitlement that isn't doing the team any good
  3. Coburn was the weak link in 2019 on a 3 man front of Roach, Coburn, Graham. LSU 3rd and 17 only works because he's giving up ground and spinning like a top in front of the center. He's been pretty consistent in that regard throughout his time here
  4. Herman would be running Card on QB sweeps to the left side of the OL and we all know it. Mix in some nice Moore blocking for Whittington screens and there you have it. Until the urgent comeback attempt in the 4th and you would see Bijan with his 9th touch of the game on a throwback screen for some nice yardage to give us a little cruel hope. Oh and Hand would still be sitting at home with a deep freezer full of meats and a warm grill waiting to host some JAGS and then dust off his Oakleys for the photo shoot
  5. He's been going for the hurdle this year like it's on his bucket list or something
  6. Is there ever a losing team that wasn't out-coached? It's such a lame fucking phrase... Any team in the country in the top 40 could get a guaranteed 100% td on us in the red zone by asking questions of Brockermeyer, Schooler and/or Foster. Any team in the top 40 could stop us on critical passing downs by covering Worthy and seeing which shitty throw on a shitty read is made by Thompson to a receiver with shitty hands, unless they have a DL with a pulse and then the pass isn't even being thrown in the first place. I guess we out coach every team that we have out rushed in the past. Preparation for Texas at this point is about masking our glaring deficiencies on both sides of the ball, there's hardly enough time in a season to do otherwise. The insider lead up, however bland that information is, mentioned Texas coaches seeing opportunities to turnover Bohannon, and you can see that emphasis more or less. Too bad we turned it over just as much. It was said Baylor just knew they could win by playing hard for 4 quarters. Oh yeah Aranda is a fucking genius by preparing his team to shut down Bijan. Such a monumental task. I'm not trying to say our coaches are performing excellently, it's just the tautology of the out-coached excuse after every loss is grating. When you have a bad team, especially with first year coaches, results are almost always terrible
  7. Top100 is pretty funny. Moore found himself looking for a spot late in the cycle and there we were to take him. Despite the yoakum twins being overrated as hs sophomores, they didn't drop quite enough considering their weak ass competition. They looked meh in camps and most just shrugged and said, put some meat on them bones and he'll be great! The rest of the 2018 and 2019 classes are sprinkled with similar stories, Herman and the first squad of assistants were dogshit evaluators and there's mounting evidence. But yes, Coleman is also ass
  8. Cristobal? Fucking Banks? There's a few that would cause an uproar around here
  9. The We're Texas crowd will experience a pretty rude introduction to the realities of playing in the SEC soon enough. Perhaps after going 0-3 against aggy and these socialites actually feel their status being measured against the insufferable bleats of victorious ags in their own communities they'll feel inclined to suddenly care about the product on the field. Lacking a serious in-state rival has had a neutering effect on Texas football passion over the last decade of mediocrity. I hope this is in some way correlated and not just circumstantial... Time will tell
  10. Shit I would take Gideon in a heart beat and possibly even Haines... Can't believe I'm saying that
  11. Ok, this falls in line with my personal feelings as a fan. The O line generally did improve over their play vs OU, but neither me or anyone else can say whether it had to do with personnel, or simply a different set of opponents and challenges, or both. Either way, I felt the game vs OSU was lost at the QB position, and the 2nd half offensive struggles came mainly from Casey not mentally recovering from the pick six. Combined with a very active and veteran linebacker group smelling blood in the water, and good field position play by OSU, we would have needed exceptional play from the line, and that's a tough ask at this point. Also, good tight ends do absolute wonders for an offense in this position. Herman fools gold strikes again
  12. First off, I'm not a big stats guy and I don't pay much attention to PFF. Seems like they're good for adding information to a discussion, and that's it. Some of my comments on what you stated though, as much as we all love Bijan he is average to below average in pass protection. Maybe a lot of it is communication with the QB on protection sets, but bottom line is the starting RB position isn't adding much on passing or play action. He has to see the field though so let's work around all that somehow. Another nitpick is he moves early on nearly every snap and it's starting to get egregious, but I digress. Tight ends are also very spotty across the board... Nothing new there. And the skill players like Moore had bad drops cuz he kinda sucks and Worthy well he got blasted on several screens probably because the OSU corners were way bigger, and older. Idk haven't looked at PFF I'm just posting while sick and should be sleeping As for your 2nd paragraph, OU is flat out superior to OSU on the DL... Doesn't that factor in to why guys are grading out worse vs a better opponent? Or is that supposedly accounted for? Truly not sure what or how PFF arrives at their numbers Lastly, what did the QB get as rating?
  13. Nothing about the quote restricts it to 2022, could be 2021, like Casey Cain
  14. Pretty much everyone is right to some degree. Overall the talent and roster holes have hamstrung both sides of the ball because we have system coaches, asking them to not be what they are for their entire careers is folly. Maybe blame the geniuses at the very top that fell for the "3 straight top 10 classes" fools gold that Herman left behind and then hired these guys. As if we have NFL players in the rough lying around and just need a good playcaller to make it all hum. Probably a waste of time. The truth has always been rebuild to win and especially just to compete with the upcoming SEC move. As for the OSU loss, the red zone pick six is FAR and away the biggest reason we lost, and having thrown 2 red zone pick sixes since April is kind of a major deal. Institutional pressure to win at all costs in year one probably fueled a premature QB change and now we're pretty screwed. The best incumbent quarterbacks in the league would get benched with a quickness by their coaches if they threw red zone pick sixes in a critical conference game, at home no less. Will we? Seems as though we are now ride or die with Thompson. I see more 100% to 0% swings for the offense, and a defense that fulfills their individual and collective responsibilities in part and never in full.
  15. I'd love it if he could even have Case's midrange accuracy
  16. Agreed on Weigman, although the Ewers mess convoluted all of that for long enough that Weigman got taken off the table. Plenty of posters on here as well keep bringing up the MLB draft bullshit, but of course, that will prove to be hot air. I do like Murphy, I think he's a better take than the last several Herman takes, but the lack of dominance in HS has to be accounted for. If Devin Brown flips, and the Manning sweepstakes continue to trend well, then I would say he has surpassed 4 years of Herman in the QB front in less than a year
