  1. Reps are important. However, if you are the Chiefs, would you like to go back in time and play Mahomes immediately or are you satisfied with how his development played out? What about Rodgers? Now Richardson. He needs more mental than physical development. And his college career more than others shows he needs to learn to play the position. He wasn’t drafted to play 4/5 years for the Colts. The intent is for him to play a decade so playing the first year could go either way. The rush to play him this year is he is that good. That would be surprising to know this early. As for Minshew, he probably knew the deal. My guess is that he’d like to play rather than just cash a check, but that he’ll take the check rather than do something else. The NFL has plenty of failures at the QB position due to lack of patience. Some of that is starting these guys too soon. Part of that is not giving guys enough opportunity given their surrounding environment. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes not.
  2. The answer to this statement is the story. You don’t put someone in your will just because they went to your school of choice. You don’t siphon off thousands of dollars only to give back millions to that same person. You don’t give them millions without being “family” whether they were adopted or not. No shit if my kid was a big recruit with the NFL in his future, Texas would be the hope. But it’s hard for me to cross that bridge of bringing that kid into my house without caring about him personally just to get him there. I enjoyed the movie but I elect to see the positives in the outcome rather than picking apart that not all of it is 100% altruistic.
  3. I believe that was Sark playing for this year. He said Ewers was his guy before the season started so he rode him.
  4. Perhaps just me, but it would have been awesome for Roschon to play a little LB and RB. Then again, maybe we don’t win 10 games if he does.
  5. Just blame it on Majors.
  6. No one brings the good news like @HenryJames
  7. Well maybe get way up in that upper right corner for 10 wins this year. But damn if your comment didn’t feel like 2021. Poor 4Q offense and poor in one score games.
  8. I’m getting old but when did the “I” become a thing? I sure as hell don’t remember that from my youth.
  9. So why oh why are we the outlier?
  10. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38196581/rookie-anthony-richardson-named-colts-starting-qb Anybody else hopes this dude fails? They didn’t even give Minshew a shot.
  11. What can I say? He had hernia surgery for his appendix. I have all of mine. How ever many that is.
  12. Let’s just hope it’s not a recurring injury.
  13. Mackovic Baylor 1997.
  14. Individually everyone is starting to whip ass. Sometimes the D makes a play; sometimes the O makes a play. Not sure how we can lose.
  15. Clearly, it’s the one with the first pick.
  16. When Majors declares early, we will have no choice but to start a different C.
  17. Funny the Steelers came to mind. From all the way to Kevin Greene to Watt they’ve found guys to make it work.
  18. Every team has guys it doesn’t want to lose. With respect to Sorrell, he was nobody at this time last year. It’s not like he was all world coming out of high school either. Point being guys step up every year to give you some positive surprises. If he goes down, we should get some of level of production out of that replacement. That’s where we’re becoming so much better from a depth perspective. We’re closer to Bama/Georgia/Ohio State than we are to the Big 12 teams in the natural talent/depth area. On LB, you should feel comfortable with the guys in front and behind. Blackwell has made some plays. Gbenda actually has too. Maturity and experience should be theirs. I lean more towards what seems to he the NFL way here. We will find guys to make tackles. We need to square up the front end and the back end.
  19. The biggest concern with this team is that they have a head coach that hasn’t won Jack. But there’s dudes who have in their respective coaching roles. There is not a guy that we could lose and this go in the shitter. No, it wouldn’t be ideal to lose your QB or Banks, but it shouldn’t fall apart without them. If we lose them, we’re still more talented than our conference opponents. You can the practice reports with a grain of salt, but competition in practice sounds as though it’s breeding achievement over contentment. The youngest guys just need to do thing their thing because the frosh aren’t relied on to carry the day. Hill is in a place where he can screwup and you might not even notice because of the maturity around him. There’s no covering for other dudes. You do your job or you don’t play.
  20. I look forward to the kissing of PKs backside after this year.
  21. Yet we won 8 games. And many of the same guys won 5. Both of those totals were below their upside levels. It’s good I guess that people are on the development bandwagon, but one year of incremental improvement yet team underachievement doesn’t prove much. The talent, experience and depth is greater this year. Anything less than 10 regular season wins is a disappointment. Right now we’re healthier too. I’m not sure there’s more than one team on the schedule that can compete with us athletically. And it’s unlikely on the whole there will be many with more experience. I’m having a difficult time imagining how it’s possible we don’t win 10 out of 13 or 14 games.
  22. Msu, there was this guy named Sam……
  23. That’s harsh. For the right commitment, I’ll keep my yap shut.
  24. Little league is pretty thin these days. It’s not just select but Texas teenage or whatever other orgs out there trying to pull leagues out. I don’t have much context for how it once was so maybe it was never that big. This was several years ago, but I had some involvement in a district tournament and one of the top players missed some time due to some travel ball. Then within the last two- three years, the best kid on one team bailed on his team’s championship round. I’d assume the successful teams are pretty dedicated to little league. On the girls side, the path to the Southwest region seems to require going through fewer teams and in some age groups the teams are not good. But it seems last year Oklahoma or Colorado effectively got a bye on the boys side to advance to the Southwest regionals. Midway girls won many a title years ago then fell off. It’ll be interesting to see once this group moves on whether the run to the WS continues.
  25. I always feel the need to add some clarity here. Tech got away with several hands to the face/face mask penalties. Not “subjective” holding penalties but clear cut pulling defensive linemen by their facemask. The hold called on Ulatoski preceded a Tech pick six. The only hold called and was marginal at best, atrocious given the actions of the night. Even though we beat OU going away that year, it was only a 10 point deficit. Imagine if that’s a 21 point game. How does that play out come seasons end? If I remember correctly, this was the two faux roughing the punter calls. Essentially turnovers. Yeah, there were two borderline calls on Colt but they weren’t drive extenders/change of possession.
