  1. We lost Fasusi. We didn’t punt on him. He chose OU, mostly due to their OL coach and his social motivations. His mom was also not on board with him living in Austin. Losing John Mills at the 11th hr sucked, but this should be another cycle where we go heavy OL. OL is not a position for stargazing, it’s all about physical/mental traits, Torre Becton, and Kyle Flood.
  2. Lockett is fast enough when you consider his quickness/suddenness, his frame, timing, and his arm length/hand size. His release is also a less than talked about strong suit. Once he puts on about 15-20 pounds, I could see a Jalynn Polk kind of guy with even better hands.
  3. DJ Campbell is coming back, per Bobby Burton.
  4. He could be absolutely lethal in that offense if he learns how to catch
  5. Official. https://247sports.com/college/washington/article/washington-huskies-football-huskies-wr-johntay-cook-part-ways-244152408/
  6. Roberson’s been training solely at CB. Filsaime’s game is all potential at this point. He’s not even trusted to handle special teams right now.
  7. Any smoke around Brandon Baker and Ohio State?
  8. Manny Muhammad to Oregon then. Lose one Muhammad, go pick up another.
  9. Right behind the ability to trip over the feet of your linemen
  10. Mahomes ran a 4.8. Baker Mayfield and Matt Stafford as well. Quinn might do that if he actually runs it. It’s a matter of pocket presence and foot quickness. Arch has shown flashes of good pocket presence, but the jury is still out on that.
  11. A mobile QB is a luxury. He needs an OL that can drive people off the ball with IZ. Especially with the interior OL. Most of his best stuff works when people have to respect that. If we gotta bring in a guard to do that, so be it. I think there’s a spot for Connor Robertson on the OL, he seems to play pretty nasty at times.
  12. Once Golden started to blow up, it made sense to strike while the iron was hot. It was also his plan to be one and done at the start of the season
  13. Conner was a 2021 guy, so unless he redshirted his first year, he’s out of eligibility.
  14. With Penn State’s running backs staying in school, the RB class has thinned out some. They aren’t the same kind of back as Blue, but that could make it easier for someone to justify drafting him.
  15. Ryan Williams has been a freak since his freshman year of HS to be fair. He exceeded expectations, but most knew he was gonna be a day one contributor. DK Moore will likely do the same at Oregon. WR is one of those positions in most offenses where you can get on the field early and make an impact if you take care of business.
  16. Bama thought they had that with Tua, then Mac was the one who got it done. Tennessee with Peyton, only for Tee Martin to do it.
  17. This is legit impressive and a big clue to how they feel about Nate kibble moving forward. Good find Also, we’ll see how the line looks next year when we have a more capable creator at QB next year. Love Quinn, but his pocket presence made life tough for those guys.
  18. Safer than Agiye Hall? Jahleel Billingsley? Absolutely.
  19. He didn’t have a recorded fumble. I think he lost the ball or nearly lost the ball twice in the postseason. One, for sure, on a reception running OoB against ASU. They’ll grind the tape and count that against him.
  20. Last year's draft was more shallow than usual due to NIL keeping more guys in college an extra year. RB was especially weak last year. This year it's stacked at that position as a result.
  21. If he didn't finish with 2 good games in the playoffs, he's probably back in college next year in a different uniform. But he entered the season with the expectation to go pro and he and his crew feel like he's done enough to make that a realistic goal at this point.
  22. He actually finished with over 1000 yards from scrimmage this year. His biggest risks in going this year are the stacked RB class coming out and his fumblitis.
  23. RT inspires no confidence in the fans, does he even do the same fan outreach stuff that Beard did? Everyone I talk to is done with the guy already. We aren't likely to make the tourney this year, but I imagine his fate depends on who they think they can get.
  24. Sark's offense is at its best running IZ effectively. We tried to run it early in his tenure and couldn't due to personnel. Bijan wasn't great at it and the OL wasn't even decent at blocking it. We found some success in the second year doing some double team blocks and other gap scheme runs. Bijan was at his best in OZ, and we had the athletic linemen to run it. Brooks was our best IZ guy by far. We were hoping Baxter could be better at it this year, but once he got hurt, things fell to shit until we went back to OZ as the primary in the 2nd half of the OU game.
