  1. On that fumble, if they get the backside blocked, he’s making a positive play out of it. Most of the time it was the 2nd or 3rd guy that got him. I’ll say it. There’s something there to work with. He’s had nothing but poor structure and poor Oline play since his arrival.
  2. No way you can judge Jones after that last night. Slide out of the pocket and hit Breida. He falls on his ass. He picks one snap off his shoes then immediately has pressure off his left side. Dodge 3 rushers, scrambles for 10+ plus and first. Holding. The pick was bad, but he and Campbell have only played 4 games together. It looked as though they weren’t on the same page. It was a bad decision no doubt. The pressure came off the edge. It came up the middle. It was consistent and constant. He was their leading rusher and 27-34. The RBs were 18-39. Towards the end of the game, it may have been Aikman that said the WRs don’t even routes at full speed. That’s very odd. Never heard that said in a broadcast.
  3. Funny how we went from they’ll screw both OU and us to now they’ll screw us. It would always be us if anyone.
  4. Ripping some dudes helmet off isn’t even subjective. Should be an unobstructed view. I’m not sure how you miss it.
  5. Well sure. Anything can happen. We didn’t play flawlessly yesterday and won by 26. I think Bamas opponents other than us but collectively finally scored more than we did. Ole Miss ran up 50 on LSU but only 10 versus Bama. Bama is good. Here’s what I’ve never seen in my 30 years of watching the Horns live. Never have I seen experimenting with defensive substitutions so early in games and early in the season. Our opponents have schemed to get one of our best players off the field. But it doesn’t help. So our dudes are competing for time. Every day. There’s likely no trap game by virtue of that. We can go heavy offensively and defensively. You have to hope your coaches have a great game plan. You have to hope you execute incredibly well. Then you have to hope offensively we are off. You will not have much room for error.
  6. You could play your best game of the season and lose by 2TDs. You can build it up however you like, but you’ve never played this Texas team.

    Out of curiosity, what is his speed? I remember when Cedric Griffin and Michael Huff were sophomores. Point being, experience matters.
  8. If we win it all, it won’t be hard for me to argue against it.
  9. I’d say not so fast my friend on that national coach of the year.
  10. Yes, we upgraded. You just never actually said that. The fact remains that defensively the players most important to our defense this year and this weekend spent a significant amount of time on the field two years ago. And gave up 57. I hope they remember it well. And play like it pissed them off.
  11. I always find these shitty posts interesting. I’m sure you were “embarrassed” losing to KU. That was a team loss yet you call out certain dudes like a simple minded gimp. Washington had 100 yards, 2 TDs in that game fyi. 350 passing for Casey. Of the top 10 in defensive snaps from that game, 3 are starters this year. 3 are NFL dudes. Of the other 4, the one with the least number of plays is the only one you mentioned. Of the next 10 in snaps, actually 11, 5 have prominent roles on this defense including 2/3 starters. Then 3 have seen some NFL looks. Objectively the defense was the biggest issue in 2021 KU. 8 contributors (not including Sweat or Gbenda even) for this year were materially involved. None of them were freshmen either. Interestingly enough only 3 guys that played offensively are still here then Bijan/Roschon. Agree on the KU run game. That’s the beauty of our depth. If it’s not your day, let’s see the next guy. Of those 10-12 guys you referenced, just remember, we got 8 guys in the front 7 for this year that played a part in getting their ass handed to them by Kansas. We’re gonna whip their ass this weekend. Their only hope is that their Oline can handle Sweat, Collins, Murphy and Broughton. Let’s hope those 4 remember 2021.
  12. On the Murphy sack I mean.
  13. Well except that the defense was screwing around then decided to shut OkSt down. So not sure that’s single handed.
  14. Doesn’t seem much mention that 3 BU Olinemen are running QB draw either. Or so it seems.
  15. He’s basically doing the same shit. Biggest difference is he is more mature and everyone on the team is doing their job better. Unless you’re going back to his DE days, which he was there due to more factors outside of his control.
  16. Yeah, that’s why I said upgraded to above average. If he came out today, he’s not the type of LBer that goes round 1 much less too 5.
  17. Average NFLer. You know since I said given their draft positions. He was probably above average in the NFL but did not produce anywhere near a top 5 pick. If you legit think Bama scores 0, then I guess it makes sense that’d be their only shutout. Jesus.
  18. This is a shout out to Jared Wiley correct?
  19. I’m not aware of anyone with advanced metrics other than PFF. I don’t know that they’d have over the top safety help as part of that. That’d probably be incorporated into the pass D grade for each player. Same for open WRs that the Qb simply misses. The grading is ambiguous so not certain how reliable that is. As for Catalon, he looks a little chunky but no idea if that’s normal for him. He hasn’t shown anything to say he’s a good pass defender. At least not from returning from his latest injury.. I’m not sure what KU will tell us because they might scheme themselves open rather than out athlete us.
  20. You damn dudes. They beat 7-5 Michigan in the game prior to the bowl game. Michigan lead into the 4th. OSU won 25-21. I guess we’ll just discount that cause rivalry. Yes, they were capable of beating USC. They also were capable of losing 10 of 10.
  21. His drop rate as a frosh was 5%. 11% as a sophomore with a broken hand. Whether you believe is accurate on the hand is irrelevant. that’ll be the story for NFL teams. Johnston and Flowers both had drop rates in the 9-10% range. They got punished in the draft. It only takes one team to love you.
  22. In their first 5 games, the most points they scored? 34. Big wins over Miami of Ohio and SDSU. Just lit their asses up. They scored 40+ 4 times against shitty Big 10 teams. Lost to PSU 17-10. So absolutely? I didn’t say they weren’t better than Bama. I didn’t say they wouldn’t win. But OSU did lose twice. To act as though Bama is void of talent is premature. There’s also a good chance that Bama defense would do well versus that OSU offense. Anthony Gonzalez, Bobby Carpenter, Ted Ginn. Donte Witner, All first rounders. None worthy. Hawk, Mangold, Holmes were all good but were all average given their draft positions.
  23. Gotcha. The staff will have to deal with that situation. For me, it doesn’t matter the safety but Barron is one of your best so get him out there. You could even put him at corner. It’s not a knock on other guys it’s that Barron is that good. There’s been so much rotation it’s hard to know what’s situational, but it’s apparent Barron comes out for the 3rd LB.
  24. This isn’t exactly right. Wyoming threw for 136. Their longest was 20 yards. You know the one right over Crawfords head. Their other deepest completion was Watts/Catalon. They did isolate Thompson twice for firsts. He also had a PBU on 3rd and the pick when attacking with quick outs. Baylor took deep shots on Taafe/Watts and Catalon/Watts. The staff has a plan, and they work it.
  25. You know Barron never comes off for Taafe right? Barron only comes off for the 3rd LB in heavy offensive sets. Maybe not always heavy sets but 3 LB sets. And if you think Catalon is one of our better players, then we’ll that preconceived bias. But absolutely Barron needs to be on the field. And people will shit all over themselves about this and that but as it stands now, offenses can dictate whether he’s on the field.
