Those throws are tough to make when the receivers are halfassing it. Not sure if they were supposed to be going full speed, but it makes for a rough looking video.
I've asked why we should expect Dante Moore to be much improved now that he's at Oregon and no one has been able to provide any real sort of reasoning. Most just back it up with saying "well, he was really highly rated coming out of HS!" We've seen him actually play college ball, and it wasn't pretty.
I'm sure Will Stein is telling all the 9.95ers that Moore is much improved though.
Looks like that Fasusi investment is paying off.
Who could have ever guessed that the kid is a project who somehow convinced himself he was a day 1 starter?
Not even on the 2 deep? Tough
Agreed here, but Taaffe and McDonald have shown ball hawk tendencies. Maybe Derek Williams too.
I’m not a Guilbeau believer, but the coaches seem to be so we’ll see.
Cant have two corners (Muhammad & Guilbeau) who lack make up speed on the field at the same time.
The only movies I had a hard time with as a kid were Jurassic Park and Aliens. Once I got old enough, none of that stuff was believable enough to bother me anymore.
Personnel. We didn't really have maulers up front like they had at Bama.
Conner, and Majors were more effective at mirroring defenders than they were at driving DL backwards.
Hutson tries to play more physically, even if he isn't always effective at it. Neto is super physical, but he doesn't always know who to block and at what angle. Campbell hopefully goes nuts this year.
Either way, more physical guards and center this year. We'll see if it translates.
This is my biggest concern against OSU and kinda for the season, but we aren't gonna see another potent passing attack like that unless Mateer is the truth at OU.
Can PK, Nansen, and Akina make their concepts to work well together? It took PK and Joseph some time before they made it work.
Finkley wasn't particularly athletic for being so undersized. He also didn't have the tools to mitigate that. All motor.
Kruel is explosive and athletic. Not as athletic as Bryce Perry Wright, but up there. He's probably smaller than BPW though, hence the pass rush specialist label.
Not sure how tall Kruel is, but I would have guessed Finkley to be around 6'1 when I saw him.
You guys are arguing semantics. Who fucking cares? We were hyped last year and we're hyped this year too.
Enjoy the ride, the coverage and hype are gonna be bananas by the time week 1 in Columbus gets here.
DMo inconsistent? I'm not a pure stats guy, but he was our 3rd option at best for much of the year and still had a great year.
This year, he will likely be the first or second option unless Wingo AND Endries blow up.
On top of that, he has Arch throwing to him now. Aside from any Arch v Quinn improvements, those two have been building a rapport since they were both on the bench as freshmen.
Barring injury, I'm expecting a 70+ reception, double digit TD season of him.
Biggest concern going into week 1 is our secondary, namely our corners, against their WRs. We really need our front to get Sayin off his spots early so he doesn't get into a groove.
Second concern would be their front against our OL, but I'm hoping Arch's mobility is a mitigating factor while they find their legs.
As mentioned above, we have some solid advantages going into this one, but those are the challenges I can see right now.
It’s always interesting when people look down on a meathead who made millions playing a meathead sport when he’s now making even more millions acting like a meathead for the fans of the meathead sport.
It’s almost like he found an audience, positioned himself very well, then leveraged that position brilliantly.
Football is great, but at its core, it is what it is.
Miller took the job from Justice Haynes and Richard Young. He was their steady guy. Really good at pass pro, caught the ball out of the back field well, etc.
Blue was given multiple opportunities to make this his year, but fumbled it over and over again. Wisner, like Miller, wasn't even given snaps like that until Blue showed he couldn't be trusted and he had a minor injury.
The offenses are also completely different. Not gonna derail the thread further, but I believe Jam is no less of a bust than Blue.
Leading rusher outside of Jalen Milroe at Alabama despite being in a crowded backfield.
Jaydon Blue, on the other hand, got benched a few times during the season. Despite RB1 going down in fall camp, lost his bell cow opportunity to unheralded, undersized Tre Wisner.
Take the ULM game out of the equation and his numbers are much less impressive.
I don't like Miller based on how he did us in his recruitment, but him becoming a reliable option in that offense is impressive and it wouldn't surprise me if he had a breakout season next year.
