    Do you say that because he’s black, or because you’ve seen him run? More than a few posters thought the same thing about MM.

    I’ve only seen him run the ball a few times, mainly because I don’t watch pac 12 football, but I’ve seen him run a little. He doesn’t strike me as the type that you’re afraid of running because he can get loose, but he can pick up positive yards and maybe move the chains on a shorter distance.

    I've watched just about every UW game this year. Penix is a capable scrambler, I think he'd beat Ford or Thompson/Taaffe to the edge if he needed to. I don't think he has much wiggle after the two torn acls in his right knee, but he can get going in a single direction.

    But he’s not big and cannot afford to get dinged.  I don’t think the coaches nor he want to run the Q2.

    They may not want to, but they can, and we have shown some vulnerability there this season.

     

    I expect Quinn to run when given the opportunity on Monday as well.

    That brings me to a question. Who do you think starts for Texas at CB? Homes and Muhammad are rated the 2 best cover CBs on the team by PFF. Muhammad is #1.. Brooks is actually last, but I expect him to start. I do wonder if Texas uses Muhammad more at the boundary, than Watts. You give up some run stopping ability and screen game, but you are better down the field. (I would flip that thought vs Michigan, where I want my most physical CB on the field more)

    I believe we see Brooks/Watts due to their strong run support. Washington thrives on runs to the edges.

  3. Yea, Penix doesn't make abnormally fast reads post snap. He also trusts his arm too much. His footwork tends to break down as he gets uncomfortable too. Would have loved to see him against UCLA this year.

    I don't think we need to get home to have success, but disrupting the short game enough to make him hold the ball and read the field will do wonders.

    I'm also interested in seeing how Ethan Burke's rush impacts Penix's tendency to drop way back in his drops. He tends to go more upfield than he should, but it may work out well in this game.

    Their tackles are pretty athletic and long but Burke is quick to the edge when he can key on the pass.

    Lol, maybe.

    I just really like the class we've put together so far, and don't like head games and manufactured drama.

    Everyone is looking to make the best decision for them and those around them. You would do the same. If you have more time to consider all of the angles and potentially sweeten the deal, you would/should do the same.

    OK, I dug around a bit.  Looks like Wilson has elite burst (4.37 40) but maybe doesn't have elite top end speed.  He long jumped over 2 feet farther than my kid.

    I'd certainly rather have acceleration over top speed in most receivers.  No idea where this Texas target stands in that regard.

    Wilson ran 4.63 at the opening as a junior or so, ripped off that 4.37 at the NFL combine. Some of my friends up there said he was immediately one of the most explosive guys on the team the minute he stepped foot in Columbus. They tend to overrate their own guys, but that was the sentiment shared. He's got short range burst and long speed.

    HS/camp times aren't the end all be all

    I gotta be honest, I forgot Hampton was even in the class until this Bama / Saban flip thing came about yesterday.

    But then I looked on some random Alabama board and was informed that, "dare I say he reminds me of Waddle?? similar size and athleticism and both are from Texas."

    Waddle was significantly more polished and explosive coming out of HS.

    If you guys really believe the "Wingo's still asleep" silliness, you are dumber than the idiot reporting it, and that would be quite a feat.

    Worse than the ongoing commentary about who is doing things right today and who isn't, which is tedious and nauseating on this thread today, is this kind excusemaking for idiots that aren't worth the stanning.

    Drink your coffee, I'm not excusing shit. I literally said they should be livestreaming right now.

    Bobby has been growing his channel in more effective ways and for a longer period of time, of course they'll have more views today. 

    It's like comparing black friday sales of an established business to a fledgling one. 

    I think IT is run by a smug moron, but I can be rational about it.

    Nearly 3k viewers.......

     

    The fat piggy @TheMailBox357 only has 1.3k

     

    For comparison to Aggie, TexAgs stream has less than 1k.

     

    Biggest recruiting day of the year and IT isn't streaming. Such an unserious website that ego ruined a relationship
     

     

    As much as I welcome shitting on IT, they literally just started trying to build their channel. This is what happens. They should be livestreaming though, today is a good day to pick up new eyeballs and subs
