  1. It’s an unnecessary risk vs poor run blocking team.
  2. The funny thing is A&M and OU are the only teams the Texas can run on. Both employ a lot of movement up front. Texas hit a bunch of runs where A&M stunted a guy out of the play-side gap. It’s why A&M gives up explosive runs. They are not always sound. Both teams rely on playing aggressive to get the TFL, so they can get to 3rd and long and their blitz packages. They end up creating creases for an OL that cannot line up and win on the LOS
  3. I think the defensive staff needs to unfuck themselves. The defensive players need to focus on just doing their job. Scary to say this in week 12, but they need to simplify defense and let the Texas athletes on defense play fast. The slow confused version the last 4-5 weeks is not going to get it done.
  4. Their defense is a mixed bag. They give up explosives but are great on 3rd down. 1. They can struggle vs the run. Give up explosives here. It is probably not pertinent, since Texas struggles to run the ball and is on of the least explosive rushing games in the country. Moveable object against the resistible force 2. They will give up explosives in the pass game. This is where Texas can make this a game 3. They are 2nd in the country in sacks. Texas cannot protect the QB. This is the Longhorn nightmare, especially if Sark is hyper-focused on #2. If he has a game plan like Florida where Arch's average depth of target approaches 20 yards, this could be a 6+ sack game for A&M. Texas needs to stay out of obvious pass situations where Elko can send his exotic blitzes vs an OL that reads stunts and blitzes about as well as Stevie Wonder.
  5. the chant does not matter; I just want to hear one coming from Longhorn fans as the gun sounds.
  6. Hearing the over-rated chant Friday night would make me very happy
  7. Got to mix it up. I think Reed is a 1 read QB. If you give him his 1st read and clean pictures, he will throw for 300+
  8. That is another issue. Texas does a lot of contain rushes vs mobile guys and even some immobile ones (see Florida game). YOu need guys to stay in their lane, though I may just tell Colin do his thing. He is one of those players that can get away with breaking rules.
  9. That is the problem with bad coverage, sometimes you cannot figure it out. Still called that
  10. I think started 9 games, 16 TDs in 3 games, and 9 TDs in the other 6 starts (additional TD in blow out vs ULL). Weird stat line.
  11. I think Taaffe being aware of the call and situation made him look guilty
  12. I edited this prior to your response to this: I may lean to this is just a great offensive play call vs the defensive call. I think McDonald did what he is told. They are trying to show 6 coming and relying on the RB to at least chip there.
  13. Casey had 3 games that year with 5 or more TD passes (OU, Tech, and Kansas).
  14. That is man and I am not sure what the hell is going on. Looks like McDonald or Taaffe has the RB. No way McDonald can get there though from his alignment, but he feigns a blitz and takes off immediately after the RB. Taaffe goes but turns when he sees the RB pass him. You would think it is Taaffe's guy but I do not know based on how the 2 safeties reacted. I may lean to this is just a great offensive play call vs the defensive call.
  15. Believe that was Cover 3. That play is where the WR motions across. Assume Manny has the deep 1/3 and Taaffe would have the flat. Manny got over-aggressive without an immediate threat. Bit on the run fake and Ark slipped the TE behind him. He makes the OH SHIT turn when he sees it is a pass.
  16. not sure the play, but sounds like the base cover 3 coverage
  17. I am with you. You have Taafe, McDonald, and Manny busting coverages. If you saw 1 guy busting or maybe 2, you blame the players. When the busts are pervasive, it is a coaching issue. Somewhere along the way the communication is breaking down.
  18. their OL is very good. WRs are obvious A&M advantage. I think they maybe banged up at RB. Plus, Wisner just gets 100 vs rivals. There is no way to explain, but it is just what he does..
  19. They are a good offense. WRs are really good. It would be the anti-PK game plan to take away the short and intermediate game and dare A&M to beat the secondary over the top.
  20. I believe Bo Jackson starts for OSU now. I just said I am not sure a Texas WR starts at OSU. They are insanely loaded every year there.
  21. If I remember correctly Babers said the Ark TEs had like 140 yards. Texas had a middle of the field problem. The CBs were actually fine. This has been an issue since UK. TEs have been killing Texas. There is just too much space between LBs and Safeties. My big fear is the A&M game reminds us of the Houston game a few years ago, where they just killed Texas on crossing route after crossing route. A&M has really dangerous YAC guys at WR. I think their top 2 are both top 5 nationally in YAC yards. Those guys are propping Reed up. Cleaning up the middle of the field and tackling will be a huge key to this game. If Reed can hit shots down the sideline, so be it. Force him to make throw outside the numbers and 15+ yards.
  22. If you think of the context in which he is putting up those stats it is way more impressive. He is doing it with an OL in the bottom quartile of the SEC. I am not sure Texas has a WR that would start for OSU. He has 0 run game also.
  23. This is going to get very negative as the week goes along and people delve into the Ark game. The middle of the field was wide open most of the game. That said Kade Phillips was really good, despite the PI.. He was 2nd on the team with a 76.6 PFF grade (Colin 91.5). That is a hell of debut for him. OLB Colin Simmons, 43 snaps, 91.5 (overall grade) CB Kade Phillips, 51 snaps, 76.6 DT Travis Shaw, 16 snaps, 76.2 CB Graceson Littleton, 32 snaps, 72.7 SS Jelani McDonald, 48 snaps, 71.5 DE Ethan Burke, 33 snaps, 71.4 FS Jonah Williams, 21 snaps, 68.5 SS Xavier Filsaime, 34 snaps, 67.9 CB Kobe Black, 27 snaps, 67.7 DT Maraad Watson, 33 snaps, 67.6 CB Jaylon Guilbeau, 20 snaps, 66.4 MLB Liona Lefau, 44 snaps, 65.7 CB Malik Muhammad, 48 snaps, 63.8 DT Alex January, 33 snaps, 63.3 MLB Ty’Anthony Smith, 35 snaps, 62.6 DT Cole Brevard, 23 snaps, 61.7 DE Colton Vasek, 19 snaps, 61.5 SS Michael Taaffe, 62 snaps, 61.5 DT Hero Kanu, 31 snaps, 59.3 FS Derek Williams Jr., 22 snaps, 57.9 DE Lance Jackson, 23 snaps, 57.7 OLB Brad Spence, 22 snaps, 57.6 DT Lavon Johnson, 17 snaps, 57.2 DT Melvin Hills III, five snaps, 56.7 CB Warren Roberson, 21 snaps, 56.0 DE Justus Terry, 21 snaps, 54.4 OLB Trey Moore, 73 snaps, 54.0 MLB Marshall Landwehr, 11 snaps, 52.1 CB Wardell Mack, 26 snaps, 51.3 LB Elijah Barnes, 11 snaps, 47.8 DE Zina Umeozulu, 17 snaps, 36.7
