  1. Take away the big play and a missed hold and it all the same, got it.
  2. Yards per attempt being 1.5 per greater is not similar. The QBR should have been a heads up on that.
  3. I have said for months. It seems like Word and Shadeur are locked in the 1-2 spot and I expect a ton volatility in the next group. It only takes 1 team to change the rankings. Appears to be only 2 guys that will be 1st round selections. The next group is likely in the 3rd round, perhaps someone reaches in the 2nd. I know Zerlien was saying it is a bit unusual for QBs to go in the 2nd. Teams usually draft in the 1st with the player being deemed a start level player and then usual wait to the 3rd and after.
  4. I have seen the Shough talk. He was definitely a big winner at the combine. He is just coming from the back of the pack. I dont think he has moved to that 3/4 spot yet, but we will see.
  5. He is 4th. Ward, Shaduer, Dart, and then Ewers. Dart had the best passing session at the Combine. He came in at 3. He is leaves as 3
  6. Oh shit, how did I forget Barron
  7. Banks, Golden, and who??
  8. 4. Quinn Ewers, Texas The strongest parts of Ewers' outing in on-field drills on Saturday were his solid mechanics and impressive accuracy. The Texas product was hitting receivers on all levels of the field with nice ball placement the first half of his throws, and he was really able to show off his nice footwork and lower-body mechanics with no pass rush to worry about. Ewers wasn't quite as strong as Dart was when he had to throw to his right side and on some of the deeper throws on "go" routes. The 2024 second-team All-SEC quarterback missed some easy throws on comeback routes to his right side and didn't show off much of the requisite anticipation on those routes. When it came time to throw deep, Ewers had some bad underthrows that took away from an otherwise solid performance. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2025/03/01/nfl-combine-2025-quarterback-rankings-draft/80969533007/
  9. Believe Babers had like 12-15 WRs have broken a 4.3 40. Santana Moss is the only one to have a 1,000 yard season in the NFL
  10. You are using the team record to try and deflect from the offensive performance. We are going to watch a lot of offensive Longhorns drafted and they finished 18th in FEI. That is not the ceiling. There is no way you can objectively say the talent on offense was 18th best in the country
  11. The defense reached its ceiling. It’s hard to say the offense came close to its ceiling. Special teams didnt play to expectations..
  12. Played some off-ball last year. Collins is the best pass rusher. He is going to be the Buck. It would be hard to start Moore and Collins on the EDGEs in the SEC. I see this as a way to increase the versatility with Moore and help his NFL prospects. I would not worry much about this. If it works out, awesome. If it does not, he is going to split reps with Collins in base downs and be on the field in pass rush situations.
  13. Georgia is the only game; you did not want to throw Arch in and Sark threw him in. Texas was going to playoffs with any solid QB. That may sound crazy, but Texas won 1 game in the regular season where the defense gave up 20 or more.
  14. Interesting they didn’t run the 40. I thought that was a test both could impress scouts. (Not that applies much to DL play)
  15. It could be something as simple as Quinn looked better in practice. IMO the biggest issue for Texas the last 2 seasons has been an inconsistent offense. When the offense was clicking it was a thing of beauty. Quinn looked great. It also was prone to vomit inducing stretches. It was not uncommon to see both in the same game. Sark could have just been betting on Quinn and the offense dampening the volatility or nervous about putting someone with limited experience into that environment.
  16. This is silly argument. Secondary will generally have 5 on the field vs 4 for a DL. The better argument is probably Akina vs Corey Raymond.
  17. He has had some issues at OSU with Knowles. The story from OSU was Knowles and Johnson finally went to the mat over DL coaching/technique. Jim wanted it taught a different way. Jim ended up winning. The rest is history.
  18. I just disagreed with the comp of Akina to Gary Patterson’s contributions joining the staff. I did not pontificate on the hire of Akina. Your opening paragraph seems like you agree. Not sure what triggered the second paragraph
  19. I would be happy to show her Palms Coverage
  20. Akina is not near the level of Gary in coordinating a defense or as a defensive mind. That has been proven in Akina's history, most recently in his brief DC job at Arizona. Arizona went from DFEI #24 under Nansen to #103 under Akina the following year. He is a great DB coach. He can coach technique with anyone in the profession. I trust him on the micro, not the macro level.
  21. Orphey will have his 3rd Cb drafted out of Rutgers in 3 years after this draft. That is quite an impressive feat.
  22. Texas had 3 coaches in the secondary last year. I don’t remember Hazelton ever hitting the road. This may make sense if you view it in that light. Sark had hired the second of 3 secondary coaches. The next one will have more recruiting chops. That is all I got
  23. probably shouldnt hire a position coach that is older than Bobby Burton. We need some standard. Would love to have him as an analyst.
  24. I meant interesting in the sense the Brown was considered this rising star, he got DC interviews, and then suddenly he was let go. Apparently, a lot of communication issues between the 2nd and 3rd levels. Db and LB coach were both fired.

  25. Been some discussion that is why Orphey was hired. Sark wants to run more man coverage and press man. Texas was in the bottom quartile in man coverage. Rutgers has been in the top 20 in man/press man coverage the last few years. That tracks as Nansen seems to have been brought in to get away from 2 deep coverages. Texas was predominantly single high coverage for the first season under PK at Texas this past year.
