  1. Our best bet with Turntine is shed about 10lbs, teach him to catch, run about 5 routes. Bingo TE solved. He can block too. Even if we bloated him up, he's IOL frame. Could be a great pulling guard I guess.
  2. Ouch, seems like a long hard fall for Beck. Now on the Flood bullshit. He had one (his first) good recruiting class. Most if not all the starters will be in the NFL. Since then he has gotten projects and an occasional decent prospect. He had 4 years to develop his 2nd OL here. We got dogshit. His recruiting is now dumpster fire bad. M. Lee was who we needed at all costs. Great, we got a jumbo TE in Turntine that needs 40-50lbs of good weight. Robertson who needs 2 or more years in body shaping. Some of you lifters, tell me how easy adding 40-50lbs of good mass is? It's NOT easy and of course a guy has fast feet when he's 2/3rds of what he needs to weigh. Flood and Akina need to go. The new RB coach seems really solid, great add.
  3. That's some Rosemary Baby shit. Did a creepy old woman give his mom smoothies? Trying to get the facts on this abomination.
  4. Something is really wrong with William. You don't have a misaligned head, eyes, and eyebrows as a normal human. Maybe as a serial killer or rapist? Look in the mirror, any of you fat bastards have all those head trauma issues? Maybe his mom was beaten with a bat when pregnant or drugs?
  5. Has our WR D. Moore ever not been hurt? We pick up Mosley - hurt. If our WR coach can't get a few of these 4/5* freshman ready - fire him. Flood should be replaced for many reasons. Akina - replace. The rest, don't care they aren't complete fuck ups like the above.
  6. Thank you, sir. Helps me wrap my brain around this OL problem in a meaningful way. And once again the Flood problem - bad eval. We can do better. One of the smartest post I've read on here, appreciate it.
  7. @LCHornthank you, sir. My friend, @TexasRenegadeI think with your knowledge. Support our almini. I've given what I can almost 500k. I wish I could do more but my own issues kinda suck.
  8. Guys, I'm just asking for more knowledge. @TexasRenegadeno reason for ad hominem attacks. @BurntOrange&White gave some thoughtful ideas. That is what I wanted to better understand the game. Nothing he said was against you, why attack him? I guess it's fun like a big dick contest but sometimes donating real fans are just asking innocent questions to think about more informed views.
  9. Oh, and that GT RB coach is very interesting imo. Not a chance on Rutgers guy. The GT guy would come into this program in awe and his head on fire to produce.
  10. Legit question. Stroh is 6.6, ~350lbs, a yard wide. In theory if he just gets low it's 2 seconds to get around him. Get a hand on them and it's a bonus 1-2 seconds? What makes a giant like him fail so badly? Speed, T-Rex arms, weak (he's got to have lower body strength just to walk at 350lbs), development, talent? Honest question. 2nd - I know many of you hit the gym. Is it easier to gain 40-50 of decent mass or lose 20-30 of bad mass? I was a swimmer, neither was a concern for me, so I have no idea. I just needed cardio. Thanks for input.
  11. I'd say T. Becton did this with S&C. It took what? 8 games to get the correct personnel in? It's not extreme. Flood and his recruiting after y1 is a disaster. Can we run for 1 yard on a 4 and 1 without Arch? No person on the OL got better other than bigger and stronger.
  12. Here's my Flood hatred summed up. Most here have had or maybe still have jobs. If you are given 4-5 years to get something done, you make a choice. If it's implement SAP - get out asap. Probably will bankrupt the company anyway. Otherwise, your choice is can do this or can't but have a 4 or so year runway to find a landing spot. I'm assuming you can lie to the Board on progress - maybe 2yrs. Flood is an absolute disaster after his first year.
  13. Flood is my #1 target to replace. 4 years for this OL shit? His recruiting is beyond terrible and keeps getting worse. #2 is Akina - just a bad fit. #3 would be Milwee but I've been told that's a no-go. Wtf does he even do or look like? No idea on WR or RB tbh. RB we're using a scatback as an all purpose back. WR - they don't seem to develop like other high rated prospects do.
  14. Yea, Turntine who is closer to TE size than OL. Let me know when he gains 40-50 lbs of good weight and moves to an IOL. Robertson who will need 2 years of body reshaping. Wright decommitting was probably a win.
  15. Flood is our biggest problem. 4 years to get a "next" OL together and this shit? His recruiting is terrible. Pure bread - nothing this class.
  16. Apparently, * Big humans* means fat slops.
  17. Not with Flood coaching and recruiting bread, my friend.
  18. I'm hoping Flood is done. Akina is a given. Flood had a great y1 OL class, had 4 years to get a "next" OL ready and we get this shit? Since y1 he has occasionally recruited 1 good prospect and then bread. Last year Brooks was the highlight. This year Robertson may after 2 years of body reshaping. Turntine is a jumbo TE at this point and needs 40-50lbs of good weight. Lee was a huge miss, I'd trade all our OL this class for him. The problem with this is if that if your one decent prospect misses or leaves after multiple years of paying him to ride the bench, you're screwed and relying on bread. I haven't seen anything to suggest OL development other than what T. Becton has done in S&C. Someone above said, maybe some of these guys have peaked? Yep, 3* bread has peaked. The amount of holds, no ability to open lanes or move people, bad pass protection, etc. This shit is on Flood and his shit recruiting of large (basically tall, very out of shape, super slow, fat people) humans.
  19. On their stadium comments. I was at DKR about 10 years ago (before the new Longhorn entrance) and every game from '91-97. I haven't been to as many of the stadiums as many of you. I went to aggy during that time - even that freezing game. My impression on DKR was - holy shit, this place is like the Galleria now. Colored and textured concrete with really classy stuff. Has this not been kept up?
  20. Do we have legit OT after Goosby and Baker? I think we may need an OT also?
  21. And poach some coaches from GT - I'd take their head coach too.
  22. Replace Flood, Milwee (what does he do? Only coach I have no clue what he looks like), we will see on Akina after this game. It won't happen but get a real OC and Sark scripts first 10 then hand over each half. Flood did great first year on getting talent. He had 4 years to get the next line ready and we have this... Bread and we continue to recruit bread projects. In the past two years we have one person that is OL semi ready in Brooks. Then all projects. Turntine included, he needs to gain 30-40 pounds of good weight to play and is really an IOL build. Lee was a huge miss. To save next year, if Sark doesn't portal a bunch of OL we are in trouble. These 3* projects are a no-go. There are only 2 OL I keep in this class - Turntine after 2 years maybe he helps, Robertson - 1-2 years.
  23. I by most accounts followed genetics and maybe am an alcoholic. Never drank at work or anything like that but when I got home, I'd drink way more than normal at times. Addiction, don't even feel it much. I choose this - also helps on nerve pain. Multiple Sclerosis - this is a bitch. Nerves go nuts, not sure day to day if I can walk or need to crawl to the bathroom. It's great for weight loss, can't get to kitchen. Tremors all over can't write usually. I didn't choose this. It is a disease. Who cares about the feel good funding articles.
  24. Absurd. You can be genetically disposed to be an alcoholic. I certainly am. Not the brightest minds to be honest but they get funding and write things that make people feel better. If you don't drink can you become an alcoholic? How is it a disease if it is self triggered and requires work to get there? It is an addiction. Can you be a druggie without using it first? Addiction that you may be genetically predisposed to have. Your mountains and these great minds are foolish to think otherwise. Diseases are not self triggered. But hey they get funding and make people feel better. Oh shit, I woke up and just got alcoholism as a disease! No matter I've been drinking a fifth of bourbon and a 12 pack for ten years 3x a day! It is an addiction like any other drug.
  25. @Nicole44 , thanks for the weather update. Scary, it favors aggy. Then again if Wiesner can pop out to the boundaries, they still don't have speed there. We're not going to get anything running in the middle. Just hope Arch is on. They have 2 WR we should have gone harder after that are very fast ... Akina - worried. Also, which Reed shows up? He's good for an int this game. We have to contain him with our missing LBs.
