  1. I would guess that with reports of the defense using more movement across the front that Campbell is still struggling with stunts, but again just a guess.
  2. Concerning part of that game for FSU is they got their ass whipped on the LOS. GT has a good run game, so maybe that is excusable. Running for less than 100 yards vs a defense that finished 131st in rush defense last year is a very bad sign. If you are going to ask DJ to carry your offense, then "Welcome to the Pinstripe Bowl".
  3. Lockett is a bad ass red zone target. 6'2, great body control, long arms, huge hands (From Gerry, not from personal experience). Suppposed to be one of the best WRs at going up and making contested catches.
  4. Lot of people thought he might be a better OL, but he wanted to play DT. Campbell is a similar guy on the current roster. People thought he could play DT in college, but OL was his optimal position. He chose wisely
  5. Just my opinion, but I think people get way too granular on this shit. Most of these OL are need of major body reshaping. Cam Williams and Nick Brooks are examples. They both needed to lose at least 20-30 pounds of baby fat and add 10 pounds of muscle. Can Williams was 380 as a prospect. This year he is listed at 335. I will bet he moves a lot better this season, compared his HS senior tape. Outside of reshaping their bodies, you don’t need an NFL LT to be successful at LT in college. Connor Williams was a stud at LT for Texas and at no point did the NFL GMs ever consider him a tackle. Lot of these “he is a RT” comments are about their ultimate upside in the NFL, not college
  6. I think some of it is also Michigan is a LOS team. Those are toughest evaluations for recruiting services. Mid-West is plentiful in OL. More I follow this stuff, the more I believe that mental evaluation is one of the biggest factors for big kids. You have your freaks but finding a kid who will maximize goes a long way.
  7. Just as an aside. I have always argued that recruiting rankings should look at composition of a class and not just the collection of stars. In theory you could get a #1 class just signing 5 star offensive skill players.
  8. I think most rational fans are concerned about DL recruiting. It is still early and Sark has been pretty good at pulling rabbits out of the hat (I believe this is his highest rated class in August during his tenure at Texas). Not quite to panic mode, if there is 1 in December it will be time to freak out.
  9. If you are talking about Michigan defense getting pressure on Quinn, I would expect that. If Texas gets out of that game without giving up a sack, that would be one hell of a good sign for the rest of the season. I would not bet on that.
  10. I am going to avoid that game. Big spread and the 1st game. I wouldnt be surprised if Texas won comfortably, but enough sloppiness to get the people's panties in a bunch here.
  11. The 1st 2 games are going to be a great barometer of who Texas is this season. Game 1: CSU will be pass happy, so we will get a decent look at the secondary development Game 2: We will get to see how the front 7 will look vs a power team. I know Michigan replaces a ton of OL, but pretty confident they will put out a legit OL. The right side of the Texas OL is going to tested. This maybe the best defense Texas plays all year.
  12. overall comment.. Their WRs are sneaky good (Key is threat also). The secondary is expected to be very good. You have an NFL player at every level on the defense. Their biggest issue is the revolving door at OC.
  13. They will have a legit defense. It is amazing how they always seem to have 4-5 NFL guys
  14. what if you offer better childcare services?
  15. Trying to use logic about a wedding, pregnancy, or new born with a woman is D.O.A. No use even attempting such a foolhardy mission.
  16. Dont remember the exact stats, but I do believe Texas was top 5 in pressures. Sacks and pressures are very important, but so is the ability of a defense to make a team 1 dimensional. That is something the defense did consistently last year and should have been very beneficial to the secondary. OF course it is really easy on secondary if Texas defense became the 85 Bears and stuffed the run and sacked the QB, but that is a big ask.
  17. Odd response. DL was salty last year. Wonder what he means by this
  18. I think it is more Nansen. Just my suspicion, but if PK has a hole in his coaching it is in the secondary. In his prior stops he has had very strong secondary coaches (Marcel Yates and Jimmy Lake). I think that allowed him to focus on the front. I dont think he has that luxury at Texas. I think Nansen may help bring the back end and the front together. I heard reports that he is very vocal in practice and interacts with all 3 levels of the defense. That has given me some confidence for this season. Might prove to be false confidence, we shall see
  19. I thought this guy was really interesting Joseph Mbatchou - Grayson - Defensive Line (on3.com) new to football. He has been playing hoops. The Florida Gators have had their eye on Loganville (GA) Grayson 2025 defensive lineman Joseph Mbatchou in recent weeks. The sleeper defensive lineman is currently in his first year of football, with only this past spring football season serving as his only experiencing playing the sport. At 6-foot-6, 285-pounds, there are a lot of traits the Gators have been high on, and after offering him this past weekend, Mbatchou was back in Gainesville again a few days later. Kid is getting SEC offers as spring film leaks out (South Carolina, Auburn, and Texas). He is from Cameroon. Athletic and raw kid with a lot of upside.
  20. Bobby went off on an NIL comment yesterday. Someone saying Texas needs to up their NIL game. He said you may not like how they allocate the NIL, but Texas is top 3 in NIL period. He mentioned retention is a bigger factor, then fans care to think about. He also used Tenn as an example. Apparently, they gave a top OT 1mm NIL deal to sign. He was pointing out that guy is a great recruit but may not play for 2 years. That is potentially 2 years, where you wasted a million dollars that could have gone to retention and portal acquisitions. Gerry said the flip side of that is they may be forced to play him too early, due to the big NIL guarantee. Just my uniformed opinion, but I think the #1 use is retention. You need to make sure you have a 2 deep first. #2 is recruits. There are lot of factors there. How deep is the position and how early can the recruit play? How big is the gap between the #1 kid on the board and the #2 and #3 kid. There are others with far more knowledge on the subject here that can probably go into greater detail, but this is much more like being a NFL GM where you have to make some tough decisions. Perhaps some of the more informed NIL guys can chime in with greater detail.
  21. Not really for the recruiting thread, but I think Sark bringing in Nansen was bigger than just bringing in a LB coach.
  22. For some reason I am more optimistic on the defense after hearing camp reports. I think Nansen is going to add a bunch. It’s going to be interesting to see if the WR corp is a collection of solid to good players or if there is a high round pick in that group (I think Wingo is that guy, but we may not see that until next year).
  23. I was talking about Quinn needing to step up in 1st halves of games. I am not sure how that is hard to comprehend. Your response was a singular game and one where Quinn started very slow and ended the highest rated player on the team according to PFF.
  24. I gave you the splits in passer rating, if you want to go into a tangent about a singular game feel free. You can check, but Quinn was way better in the 2nd half vs Washington. He struggled in the 1Q, but was one of the better offensive players in that game 1q- 154.4 rating 6TDs and 3 Ints (8.8 yards per) 2q- 139 rating 5TDs and 3 Ints (7.8) 3q- 161.6 rating 5TDs and 0 ints (8.8 per) 4q- 197.8 rating 6TDs and 0 ints (11.2 per) If you want to look at those numbers and say he struggles in 2Hs of games, I am not sure what to say. I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink
  25. I tried to stop posts like this by saying overall, but I knew someone would bring up a singular game. I can’t imagine the thought process that thinks Blue and Baxter’s fumbles in the 3Q are on Ewers (he was the subject of my post), but maybe you just felt the need to bitch about Washington game
