Miami might be ranked in the top-10 after beating aggy, but they aren’t any better than an Arky, Ol Miss, Auburn, etc. Aggy might be in for one of those 4-8 seasons we’ve be predicting for the past 10 years.

Everyone knew Elko was a big loss but it was probably even bigger than people realized. 

I know aggys like @bizzle live in their imaginary world but Durkin is nowhere close to Elko's league. 

 

So was Henson.  And let's not forget Jimbo shuffling around three offensive coaches right before fall camp.   Huge red flag, but those idiots couldn't see it when Looch and Tarp are saying it was some genius move by the almighty Dumbo.

The big thing you didn't address in your write-up is the legitimate difficulty of the schedule this year. I don't see how you can make a record prediction without taking that into consideration. Specifically, ATM goes App State, Miami, Ark @ Dallas, @ MSU, @ Bama, off week, @ Scar, Ole Miss, UF, @ Auburn over a 10 week stretch. Have you ever beaten both Mississippi schools in the same year? I think this schedule alone manufactures 3 losses, minimum.

the schedule's tough, but we should be more talented on paper than every team we face other than bama. we'll know a lot about this team after the app st - miami - ark - msu run. we drop 2 there and things could go south quick. 

but i think we'll fucking win. 

My scheduling discussion with bizzle after his write-up a few weeks ago. That App State to Bama stretch is looking as grim as we could have hoped. I’m not real sure I see a team that is “more talented on paper” than Miami or Arkansas. That might be true for MSU, but that’s not really relevant against Mike Leach.

A&M boards told me that Addazio for strings and Durkin were upgrades

I have no clue how they convinced themselves that Durkin> Elko. There's zero evidence to back it up. It's the type aggy delusion that makes them the dumbest people I've ever encountered. 

Just go read @bizzlewrite up on Durkin. It's great stuff.

Just wait till that locker room starts to fracture.  Nothing is better for a locker room than a losing team with entitled 18 year old freshman getting paid to sit the bench while older players are playing not getting paid shit.  Soon those younger guys will either want playing time or the older ones will wonder why they aren’t getting money either.  Their team is right on track to become FSU here in a few years.  Also, why the fuck would any decent QB, OL, or skill player want to play in that shit offense.  I can understand RB, but you’re basically committing career suicide going to play for that cuck.

I agree that this process of fracture is beginning. But I think it’s a double edged sword. They’re playing a lot of those young high dollar guys. So you’ve got a bunch of veterans pissed because the young money guys lost to App State + the young money guys who aren’t playing pissed that the veterans playing instead of them lost to App State…

I thought the Henson one was more ridiculous. They convinced themselves that he was the issue last year, but forgot about the success from the year prior

What’s the story on Max Johnson? Probably Jimbo’s second best QB since arriving in College Station, and he’s not playing. 

aggys OL can't block and Johnson isn't mobile. 

Also, I never understood why people thought Max Johnson was good. He was benched at LSU last season. There's recency bias because he had a good game against A&M.

Maybe. The only rationale I can come up with is King’s legs, but that’s not Jimbo’s “offense”. 

King was scrambling all day yesterday. Outside of a big Achane run that was all aggy could muster on offense. 

It may not be Jimbo's offense but he likely knows this OL can't block for shit.

I don't think Johnson is immobile. He's a pretty good athlete, just not as fast as King. He might be a more functional all around runner than King since he can run inside without the fear of dying at first contact. 

King's dad might have been a factor, but I think King being in the system for 2.5 years vs 0.5 for Johnson was a lot of it

The situation is so aggy…

OL is shit 

Plays son of big time hs coach in ETex because recruiting and he can’t hit the broad side of a barn

Fans revolt because QB play is abysmal and A&M looks like total shit, but was fluffed all off season by Looch and co that they were contenders.

Jimbo now has the options of bench King and hurt recruiting and go with either backup that don’t know the Jimbo-system, one of which was meh at LSU and the other is a true Fr. None of them will really be able to do shit because of the OL.

To make things worse, Max J’s brother is a FR TE and if King continues to suck and yet start baby Johnson is going to start making waves…

Shame they don’t already play 9 conference games, and and wouldn't have umass late in the year as a free win. 
 

every other game is pretty loseable. Sadly they won’t lose them all.  One does wonder though if they really crash and lose 4 or 5 of their first 7, how many combine prep opt outs and mid-season portal entrants there would be. 
 

as we all learned last bowl season, jimbo needs about 99-100 healthy players to feel comfortable playing.

This is a really good breakdown on Max Johnson. 

 https://secstatcat.com/a/article-426

"Hopes and goals are steadily rising within TAMU’s program. But while Johnson is an experienced conference passer with a notable pedigree, he will let down Aggieland if he winds up being nothing more than what his advanced stats have shown to date. No matter how Johnson’s game is compartmentalized, the numbers say he’s an average Joe passer by SEC standards."

"Johnson’s Sack Rate reached double-digits and nearly 40% of pressures took him down."

Sure, as a passer and I agree. ]Johnson is definitely a better passer than King. 

He's also going to be sacked a lot. It's a double edged sword. 

Getting sacked can easily be due to not processing fast enough or not getting rid of the ball to avoid a sack than being immobile

It could be but a sack rate that high is a pretty good indicator that Johnson isn't mobile. 

Also, aggys OL is probably worse than LSU's OL last year. My opinion is aggy would improve in the passing game but they would also have a ton of negative plays.

In my perfect world, Ewers heals in a week and we beat Alabama in the rematch for the "Natty."

The balance of Longhorn exuberant joy and Aggie epidemic of massive strokes would give two weeks of universal perfection. It's about as likely as us leading Alabama going into the last ten seconds of the game when they "pulled away," so, of course, it could never happen. 

Note to humorless cynics: No need to write "ain't gonna happen." It would just make you look like an Aggie.

I don't really agree with this. 

He was benched against Arkansas  because they would send numbers and he was incapable of avoiding pressure with his legs. 

You can be mobile and still get sacked a lot. See Hudson Card.

Hudson Card doesn't look very mobile to me. 

That's probably the most shocking thing to me with Card based on what he did in high school. Even when Card gets outside the pocket he doesn't look elusive at all. After Arkansas last year, I was shocked after watching LBers chase him down. 

People keep referring to Card as mobile but I've seen no evidence of this. Yeah, there are other reasons he gets sacked but his athleticism looks very average to me.

I think Card is mobile. His problem is hesitation. In that instant when he must decide whether to release or dodge, his mental engine stalls. If he decides to take off a fraction of a second earlier, he does fine.

Card is way too slow through progressions which leads to sacks but I don't see a good athlete at all. Which is weird based on what he did in high school. 

The only time Card has success with his legs is when there's a defensive breakdown. I can't recall a single play where he's beat somebody with speed or made somebody miss.

Looking at the aggy OL, Fatheree doesn't seem to be any better than last year, maybe even a drop off as he had trouble with App. State DE.  Ogunbiyi looks like a JAG, doesn't matter if it's Wykoff or Foster at Center, both seem meh'.  Layden Robinson??  IDK, JAGish despite being pre-season all SEC team.  And Zuhn is absolutely awful at Left Tackle.

It's tough to tell. 

Zion Nelson who is their starting LT and potential first round pick has only played limited snaps so far. He came back from injury this weekend. Also, Jaylan Knighton has only received limited carries after returning from injury this past weekend. 

If Nelson and Knighton are full go the Miami offense is a completely different animal than what people have seen so far.

The Addazio hire was indefensible. He’s completely toxic and hasn’t been an offensive line coach in more than a decade. And he was considered to be behind the times as an offensive mind way back then. They have nobody on that offensive staff who is innovative. Just a bunch of dinosaurs, yes men, and bag droppers. I still don’t think Durkin is a bad DC. He was good at Ole Miss.

But they are in what, year five of the Jimbo experience and every recruiting class has been top 10? And he’s got that ridiculous contract? They are stuck with him unless they go full Tennessee and throw him under the NCAA bus. Maybe they make him hire a real OC this off season. I don’t know if his ego would allow it.

I don't think Durkin is a bad DC but he's a clear downgrade from Elko.

Also, why do people think Durkin worked miracles at Ole Miss? They finished 118th and 28th in FEI defense while he was there with an upperclassmen heavy defensive roster last year. Think they lost 8 of their top 12 tacklers. 

Durkin turned 1 good defensive year (not elite) into a nice pay raise with a roster made up with experienced players. It gives me flashbacks to Orlando's year 1 at Texas.

He comes on and the jibber jabber starts immediately.  My wife randomly takes her pods out, listens and says,"Who is that Redneck? I can't understand what the hell he is saying. It sounds like he just got finished shucking corn."

I said," That's the aggys shitty coach."

She says,"Makes perfect sense."

For years, Fisher was viewed as a quarterback whisperer, putting three straight into the first round of the NFL draft during his Florida Statetenure. But since Jameis Winston left after the 2014 season, it's been rough. No Fisher QB in that span has completed 60% of his passes and thrown more than 20 TDs in a season. For reference, 36 different QBs did that last season, including his current backup, Max Johnson, who transferred from LSU.”

Nice to see someone other than us get the “boosters are ruining the program” treatment, but let’s be clear - Jackie Sherrill never won a national championship as a head coach.
