  1. He has flirted with WR at Arkansas and if he wants to play in the NFL that will be the position. I was just thinking the LSU should be the final nail in the coffin for his QB dreams, but kids are pretty stubborn. Just saying if he agreed to play WR, he is a interesting spec.
  2. He is a pretty sick athlete at 6'3". He would be an interesting spec for someone at WR. I think Texas will have better options. Someone wrote this on him as a recruit: 2018 5A Honorable Mention All-State Offense. An absolute stud that can score anytime he touches the ball. A better runner than passer, has the speed that can go the distance on any play. Excellent in the zone read. Outstanding speed. 40 time listed at 4.5 but appears faster. Has run 100M in 10.5.
  3. I looked at some of the big plays and Texas protection really broke down. It wasnt just Campbell. He wasnt in on the safety. Aranda had their heads spinning.
  4. I believe IT said it was a sprain, but I believe they said he will be getting as MRI. So it wasn’t definitive
  5. I am not sure about that and I really don’t care. I think the Texas OL has reached a level of competence (setting aside the Baylor Pass pro). Right now I think Banks is the only guaranteed starter for next year. I would probably put Campbell next. I think there will be plenty of camp battles on the OL during spring/fall camp. Guys shifting positions. That is a good thing. It will be battles of competence, instead of the usual “who the fuck are we going to stick there” battles that have plagued Texas for the last decade
  6. The #1 reason to believe that Bledsoe will be on the edge is the fact the coaches moved him there. Would be odd to move a player from DT to Edge and waste a year of coaching, if you believe he will put on the weight and be a DT next year. It’s possible, but that would appear to be bad roster management
  7. He was an early enrollee. He redshirted. Your first year on campus is usually where you see your biggest gains. His only snaps this year came from the edge, not DT.. perhaps he gains weight and moves, but I’m assuming there was a reason he was moved to edge
  8. Bledsoe didn’t put on much weight. He might not make it inside as people originally expected.
  9. I think Finkley represents the floor at that spot for next year. He was pretty solid vs the run for a freshmen this year. I think he will be solid vs the run and has a high motor. I don’t think he is a plus athlete and will become a terror off the edge as a pass rusher, unless he becomes a technician. Like to see Tapp end up winning this spot over Finkley. He is probably has the highest ceiling from that edge spot on the current roster. The other interesting guy is Bledsoe. He is probably at Sorrell’s spot.
  10. The safety is a prime example. Texas has 3 on the right side to block 2 defenders. DE loops inside. Jones follows him and Hutson and Jones end up doubling him. Rojo takes off like a bat out of hell worried about the double A gap blitz. Baylor fakes that and brings double edge pressure. Rojo is now out of position. The OLB now has a free run. It was a nice defensive concept
  11. Thank you. That means he can’t just slap DC tag on a position coach he wants
  12. Serious question does Rhule call the plays on defense? I don’t remember if he called plays at Baylor
  13. NIL deals for kids who've been training professionally since they were 7 years old to the days of peyton manning and carson palmer might the most disingenuous argument of this entire thread that is what you wrote. Sure seems like you are saying today’s kids get professional training and Peyton and Carson didn’t.
  14. The most disingenuous comment is you having the audacity to claim Peyton wasn’t coached from a young age. That was amazing
  15. Manning and Palmer were similar recruits. You can bet they would have gotten a ton of NIL money also. Fact that Ewers got paid doesn’t change his experience level. It is irrelevant. NIL is new and there is going to be a whole bunch of kids that get 7 figures and never live up to it. That isn’t on them, that is on overzealous boosters/businessmen
  16. I am not sure I understand this post and your bias is showing. Palmer and Manning were mentioned and they were highly rated pocket passers. I am not sure why you bring up NIL. That has really nothing to do with the field, but for some reason you keep being up NIL and Quinn.
  17. This is a lot of projection. Texas faced 2 3rd downs on the last 2 drives, where they just ran the ball. 1 was a 3rd and 4 and the other was a 3rd and goal from the 1. That 3rd and 4 was from the Baylor 37, which was likely 2 downs to get 4 yards situation. They didn’t even face a single 3rd down on the last TD drive. Why would you throw, when you are running 2 plays and getting a first down.
  18. I didn’t think he was bad vs KSU or ISU. Those are good defenses. He looked great vs OU to many, but that was barely a functioning defense. Bama runs a lot of man, so the reads are not hard. People love to use the word regression. I tend to think it is more about film and competition.
  19. Palmer took awhile to develop. Manning threw for 62% and 11 TDs and 6 picks in limited time. It’s a little harder to step right in for pocket passers
  20. Who says he is leaving? He is probably a HC candidate for lower P5/G5 job. Getting his name out there can only help his cause to become a HC. If it that doesn’t work, money can be an excellent motivator
  21. I never said it isn’t run, but it isn’t an easy read. There is a reason that for 2 seasons that the offense has been reliant on staying ahead of the chains. Put young or mediocre QBs/OLs in obvious down and distances and bad things happen, especially vs a DC like Aranda. The OL and Quinn both failed to recognize it. Hell, even Rojo did not recognize it.
  22. Bijan is not replaceable. The real hope is Texas does not need to replace him next year, because the OL will take the necessary steps forward. If that happens, Texas won’t need a RB that can dodge a defender in the backfield and still get 5 yards
  23. There is no doubt Aranda confused Quinn and the OL at times yesterday. The safety is a great example. Baylor fakes double A gap blitz and ILBs drop. Quinn probably thinks the blitz is off, watching the ILBs drop. He doesn’t see the double edge blitzes. Aranda said he would come after Quinn and look to muddy his reads. He is a pretty good defensive mind, so it shouldn’t be a surprise he got some young players.
  24. Different plays. I am talking about the safety. You are talking about the fumble. Yes, Texas kept in 7 on the fumble play. Karic got whipped on that play
  25. I was thinking that the staff would be looking at the portal to bring in another DT. One of the biggest reasons the defense improved was the ability to limit snaps for the big boys. Sweat and Coburn are much different players, when they don’t have to play 50 snaps. I wonder if Sweat coming back changes the math
