  1. I forgot but he was hurt against UTSA then missed two games only to be hurt again versus OU. Is that right?
  2. You previously said 4 of 5 OL guys were back or something along those lines. Fryar and Jackson were #1 and 3 in terms of play snaps last year for your entire offense. One 3 -year starter, one a 2-year starter. As best I can tell, your 4 guys never started or really played at the same time. At DB, Williams for us prior to injury was heavily involved in the safety rotation for two years. Then McDonald as far as reps/years in the program tracks Mathews experience on your side. I did not see this clarified.
  3. If you are referring to The Seive, he got no snaps at Tackle last year. He played 17 versus Texas. All at RG. 1 sack, 1 penalty. The Sieve. 4 of his 6 best grades were in the first 4 games. In his last 5, he was in the 60s once, 40s once and 50s 4 times. Tegra was in the 70s twice. In his last 5 games, he was 60s twice, 50s twice, 40s once. Hinzman 70s once all year. Last 5 games, 1 60s, 2 50s, 2 40s. Montgomery was 70s twice all year. Did not play versus Michigan so last 4 games he was 70, 60, and 2 50s. He played fewer snaps and may be the best of the 5. Daniels. 4 games with more than 11 reps. 50s twice, 40s twice. Conner had a high of 80, no 40s. His last 5 games 1 80, 2 60s, 2 50s. Campbell all season had 2 40s, 1 80, 3 70s. Last 5 were 70, 60, 50 and 2 40s.
  4. I listed guys that I appreciated being here specifically at a position that was specifically referenced. They committed/signed under Herman irrespective of the things you mentioned. The big points in my post were factual but sure lean in to your feelings about Herman and interject points that I didn’t mention.
  5. Yeah that Moro Ojomo, Coburn, Sorrell, Broughton, Collins, Sweat and Murphy were pretty weak. Sark has and is doing a lot of great things. But set aside your flair for the dramatic and count all the DTs and DEs that Sarks staff recruited to Texas from the high school ranks - Simmons, Burke and maybe January. Then also consider that the portal and NIL have likely been advantage Texas. Herman likely never brings us to our current level. I also wanted to whip his ass a time or several. But there can be a bit of appreciation for the guys he brought to campus that have played a part in getting us here.
  6. I like it. Or maybe I wouldn’t if it was every play but still probably more palatable than being around me. But these days I’ve calmed and let the people above me be overly boisterous. I do appreciate that kinda passion.
  7. Jimmy, we’ve come along way since those days in section 109. You didn’t use to yell “drop it” when we kicked to the other team did you? As I think back on it, that dude was one my favorite fans. I’m not even sure he took offense to my antics. And, yes, I know I’m not making sense.
  8. His first game as a starter as THE starter. Or whatever.
  9. Some felt that Michigan was too often in cover 3. The first 3rd and long that was converted to Bond. Deep middle safety. If cover 3, the corner did an awful job. That was on him. The TD pass called back. Ewers broke the pocket. It was not really a play call or even an initial coverage issue. Same for the Helm TD catch. Ewers played well and made a few critical plays. Whatever Michigan ran, they mixed in 4, 5 and even a 6 man fronts before they dropped. It was more about our abilities and capabilities than whatever scheme Michigan ran.
  10. Yeah, I don’t get it. We will see if those guys working together on the 2nd team breeds some familiarity too. When your Oline turns over, this is pretty much the ideal scenario. It’d be more concerning if it were last years OSU DLine. They aren’t anymore blue blooded or experienced than we are.
  11. It’ll be interesting to see the reaction to whomever is the emergency QB.
  12. The grades of their returning Olinemen are not good. I think you could throw Hutson in there as far confidence level. On paper there isn’t a reason for them to be so confident. Think it was Montgomery that did best against us as far as there returnees. Let’s assume the Minnesota guy starts. If I’m remembering correctly our projected Ts have more plays at T than theirs do. Hinzman and Hutson have similar play counts. Campbell has more than any Olineman. Tegra T is 2nd on OSU with 850 plays and graded out at 58.
  13. I’m sure that’s the case, but they aren’t protected there. If somebody wants your #3, he’s gone one would think. Then if you lose your #1, you’re scrambling for a #2.
  14. I have not either, but it was previously stated that all AFC teams kept 3 last year. You can use the 3rd guy to get an extra active roster spot for each game too. You get to expand the GameDay roster to 49 for the 3rd QB and only the 3rd QB.
  15. It seems odd that any team would not keep 3 QBs. Odds are at least one goes down during the season so that 3rd guy will be active at some point. I suppose it’s that teams don’t view the 3rd guy as much. There’s talk that Sam will not make the roster. Obviously I’m a homer, but it’s difficult to imagine that whomever number 53 is proves more valuable than Sam.
  16. Cody Simon moved on to your Arizona Cardinals. They undoubtedly have talent, but they lost more on defense that we did. Collins, Broughton were 1 year starters at Texas. Makuba a half year starter at Texas. Sorrell may have had more starts than the others combined. For example, their departing secondary starters logged over 6,500 plays. Ours about 3,300. Their 4 Dline guys that left had 7,200 snaps whereas ours were 5,200, although that didn’t include Lole and Norton, but they were only here a year. They lost more experience at LB too. Thats 15,000 game reps that walked out the door. So they get younger, less experienced and a new DC. It’ll be disappointing if they transition into the new year better than we do. So we have more play experience returning with a massive push to fill our DT rotation to offset the losses there. There may be an acclimation period but not sure that’s wholly different than OSU with a new DC.
  17. It was 4th down. Let it rip.
  18. But those final two possessions down 57-0 technically does.
  19. I was more following the conversation to which you responded. In reading their fans perspective, they have a heavy focus on what they’re returning rather than what they’ve lost on the Oline. The original statement from fell side that LT, C and RT return from that game is not accurate and distorts perception particularly given what we can bring off the edge. Their only returning reps at T are from transfers or Moore with 31 reps. Daniels has 4 games with significant reps. He graded poorly in each. Sounds as though the Rice guy is disappointing. I am hard pressed to find a more definitive edge anywhere else in this game. On either side.
  20. Per PFF, both RT and LT against us and throughout the season are gone. Siereveld only played G, logging 17 snaps against us. So he had a limited role against us and at a different position. Burke is no slouch either and if they go quick game, his size could cause them issues there too. We’re hopeful our inexperienced guys come thru. They’re hopeful their dudes rise above and do shit they haven’t really done or seen.
  21. Jones likely fits in just fine on this roster. Foster came in firing. I’m not certain what happened with Foster, but he competed upon arrival. It would have been interesting to see them in this environment. I think they’d do quite well actually. It is much different when you can play to your strengths and your weaknesses are somewhat hidden. That’s where we are as a program. Nevermind that the Big 12 was much more offensively oriented right down to the holding which allowed extra time for receivers to work and QBs to find them. It’s a little humorous how we went from Taaffe never should see the field to All American. It wasn’t all about him maturing or his skill set becoming well defined either.
  22. Sounds like a Texas One Fund fundraiser waiting to happen.
  23. So you previously said the change will matter. Now you are saying it could or should and maybe nothing happens. Let’s keep in mind that change in the parameters was not discussed so we don’t whether it’ll result in a 1% difference or 10% difference. I agree they’ll have their justifications in order. It doesn’t sound as though our objectives are ultimately different or maybe even our reservations. But damn don’t make me threaten to whip @jimmyjazz’s ass due to such hostility.
  24. Actual results that prove it. Take your Baylor. They lose to Auburn then lose two more in the Big 12. Does 9-3 Baylor go over 10-2 Indiana? If Baylor loses out, then there’s a chance they think twice when scheduling future games. They don’t know they’re out or in at 10-2, but they do know they’re out at 9-3. Also with the loss to Auburn, they’ve now opened the door for a 4-loss Auburn to knock them out. Some ADs are willing to risk that; others are not. The Texas, the Ohio States will always have room for error more than others partly due to conference affiliations. Outside those two conferences, stacking wins is more important. And it’s incredibly difficult to imagine an SEC conference championship participant not get a playoff invite in favor of a non-championship participant. So what about a 10-3 Indiana as compared to a 9-3 Texas? That would imply they lose to OSU too or made it further in conference. A 10-2 Texas is getting in over a 10-2 Indiana is the scenario you presented tweak to the formula or not. They can justify at that point before the additional data point. I do think the media hype is a big deal and more impactful about getting big games than this is. Im an advocate for scheduling the good stuff but not all those with authority will view it the same. I’ve already got plans to watch us play at Oregon. My argument has nothing to do with how I feel but more of how others may act.
  25. In theory it’s a big deal, but will it matter? I’d assume we’re going to line up all the P4 one loss teams then the two loss then three loss. Figure out where to slot the non-P4s. The SEC and Big 10 will continue to assume their schedules are worth 1 or 2 more losses but know they won’t get all the slots but will work to take all they can get. I do think that we’ll end up at the front of the line of our loss category with our schedule, which would likely be with or without this adjustment. From a scheduling standpoint for 90% of the teams, a loss would be more detrimental even against a high quality opponent than a win over a middling opponent. They’ll never have the depth to sustain over the long season if scheduling hard. Whatever rationale they currently have, they’ll still have. In the end, I think you’ll have teams scheduling based on their own perspectives with this having a limited impact.
