  1. If memory is correct it was Cover 3 and he just got beat, which is really bad given it’s 3rd and 17. Situational football and all.
  2. Maybe I have things mixed up, but I thought Black got roasted by Wingo down the sideline in a 3rd and ~17. Also you have to given Holmes a little slack, Bond almost ripped his helmet off on his long TD. Without the blatant facemask, I am not sure that play ends the same
  3. https://www.on3.com/teams/michigan-wolverines/news/michigan-cornerback-dj-waller-enters-ncaa-transfer-portal/ Says a back-up CB that was expected to compete for the #2 CB spot. Based on him entering the portal, it’s probably fair to say the competition did not go well for him
  4. I think it is fair to say something is not clicking with the secondary. They have struggled consistently with switch concepts and things like leverage (spring game being the latest example). Rob B has been droning on about that stuff for basically 3 years. While I agree that the secondary was lacking in athleticism. This was not just a case of being out athleted. I believe it was Sark that came out talking about leverage in the secondary late in the season last year and we saw a change (right around the ISU game). I dont know who is responsible, but getting your secondary to understand the coverages and communicate is on the coaches. There is just far too many breakdowns happening to say it is simply a lack of speed.
  5. According to Bobby this sounds like a decent player wanted star NIL money and Sark said no. Perhaps Sark said "No, that money is slotted for Tacario Davis". Welcome to the new world of college football
  6. His talent is undeniable. I am not goign to say he has to start, but Sark needs to get him in the rotation. The delta between 1st string WRs and the rest was pretty wide last year. That does not appear to be the case this year. Wingo looks like he can be special. It will be interesting to see how big the rotation is at WR this year. I am pretty certain it will extend beyond basically 3 last year, will it hit 6?
  7. You have to add the 11 rushes for 71 yards and 2 TDs.
  8. Not a lot of LBs that have a chance to run with Blue. That is just a mismatch.
  9. It was a mixed bag. Kobe Black having a rough day. Filsame putting his helmet in his hands after taking a poor angle on Thatcher TD (which was funny). Those are can be chalked up to youth. Brooks blowing a coverage and Taafe having some rough moments are concerning
  10. Already buying my tickets to Canton to see Arch’s Hall of fame entrance. Vasek looked really good. Edge is going to be a strength.. Wingo is going to be really good. January flashed. Savea was active. Washington going to be a very good TE. Secondary struggled. I would blow off the poor communication, but saw to much of that last year.
  11. That was my 1st thought, but we havent seen what Bryant or Mitchell look like. Until we see the product on the field it is hard to really question. This is Surly, so I am sure if they struggle on field there will be plenty of comments about it.
  12. PFF grades on interior DL last year. #1 T Sweat (91.7). #2 B Murphy (91.1). #60 Alfred Collins (79.9). #270 Bill Norton (70.6). #312 Damonic Williams (69.4). #393 Trill Carter (67.2) #398 Vernon Broughton (67.1) #788 Jay Toia (56.4).
  13. I think the issue is this group is different. This group is missing that guy, who you trust to anchor vs the double team. I dont see a 2 gapping DT that is ready to see a ton of action this year, but maybe Sydir or January surprises. That does not mean there isnt talent on the DL. This will likely be the most athletic set of DTs Texas has had in some time. PK may just have to tweak the approach this year. Be more aggressive upfront to take advantage of that athleticism, since there is no immoveable object on the DL like Sweat. I believe the back end will be better this year and that should help in the run game also (bringing down a safety more often).
  14. I have heard guys liek Gerry and Bobby talk about this, but I doubt any actual research has been done on this.
  15. Most times when they check that box, the destination is already done. It is isnt 100% accurate, but I dont get my hopes up on a kid that has the no-communication box checked (unless the Texas rumors have been circling for awhile)
  16. I wonder if he checked the box for open to communication or not. (which makes me laugh. If you check the no communication box, it is basically admitting to tampering. not that the NCAA cares)
  17. That battle will come down to who develops the most this off-season. I doubt that it will be settled prior to September. Baxter needs to work on keeping his feet moving through contact. Blue needs to prove he is more than a speed back. I hope both fill the holes in their games this summer and this fight goes until both are drafted.
  18. I didn’t say it was a bad thing, that is your assumption. I just said they have growing to do. It’s not unexpected.
  19. Blue is in year 3 and Baxter is in year 2. I said I don’t think either have hit their ceiling and the one that does will take the job. I don’t see what the issue is with that statement. Seems pretty fair to me.
  20. Why? I don’t think any of the RBs have put together 3-4 games in a row of high level tape. This isn’t like Bijan going into his 2nd year, where you were like that is the guy. I don’t think they suck. I just don’t think any of them have hit their ceiling yet. Not sure there is a guy that can take 18-20 touches a game in the room. We won’t know until one of them goes out and does it
  21. Baxter is likely the guy that makes the biggest jump this year. 2nd year is usually the biggest jump for a player. To the original point I think all the RBs flashed last year, but I didn’t see anyone that took the job. So it will be interesting to watch this play out and see who makes the necessary improvements to be the guy
  22. Yes, it’s on blue. Completely ridiculous to pretend it is on Helm.
  23. Wait, you are blaming a fumble on the guy who was blocking downfield and blue ran up his back? That is an interesting take
  24. Held under 3.3 yards in 2 of his last 4 (2.6 vs ISU (Baxter was at 5.9) and 3.3 vs OSU). Killed it vs a beaten down Tech team. His mistakes vs Washington put a damper on Washington game (non-contact fumble and a dropped TD pass). Most the hype is based on that TEch game.
