Ramonce would have been an NFL player if he had his shit together.  He wasn't as good as Jamaal Charles in 2005, but he was closer to him than he was to Selvin Young.

Goodwin is the guy we criminally underutilized in those late Mack years.  He's been the fastest guy in the NFL for almost a decade and we didn't even really use him as a deep threat.   He only averaged 11 yards per catch for his career, and he was under 10 yards per catch overall for his first two years when Greg Davis was still OC.  It wasn't because he sucked.  It's because we inexplicably thought the only way to use fast guys was to throw WR screens and underneath routes to them.  Then Harsin gave him some jet sweeps, but we still didn't target him deep very often.  Because Mike Davis and Jaxon Shipley were so explosive, I guess.

Since we're speaking long-held beliefs... Goodwin was limited by the fact that he fell down in a light breeze. And often made the wrong cut to limit his YAC. Same for Jaxon Shipley.

Well there was also the fact our offensive line was garbage.

That wasn’t even a good call. The contact was not “above the shoulders.”

It wasn't helmet-to-helmet, either. It was a terrible call. Yet another reason the Big XII can suck it. And the Pac 12, too. Fuck all of 'em.

Wait until you guys see what Kendra Scott is capable of when unleashed. And sources close to the program tell me Cody Johnson/Joe Bergeron looks like a poor man’s Ricky Williams. DeSean Hales is also really turning heads. 

 

Well since we're on a tangent, I went ahead... FIFY

Two Longhorns make ESPN’s top 100 college football players

Spoiler

3d672b19977c8d22f0daf1a58fd01eb6

No. 85 DeMarvion Overshown, Linebacker

After being stuck behind younger defensive backs and never really finding a role on defense, Overshown got his time to shine after a position change to linebacker. He registered 60 tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions last season under Chris Ash.

He is viewed as the leader of the defense, and is likely one of the few players on the team that had his spot locked down as soon before the new staff even set foot on campus. Here is what ESPN had to say about Overshown:

The 6-4, 223-pounder moved from defensive back to linebacker before last season and finished the year as the defensive MVP of the Alamo Bowl, where he had six tackles, an interception, a fumble recovery and two quarterback hurries. After undergoing offseason shoulder surgery and missing the spring, Overshown, known as “Agent Zero” for the number he wears, is going to be a centerpiece of new defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski’s scheme at inside linebacker.

Texas is expecting a even bigger season out of him, as the new-look defense should have him flying all over the field.

Spoiler

070603c5456c08cbefbe021c22455ee4

No. 14 Bijan Robinson, Running Back

The lack of use for Robinson last season was borderline criminal, as he was limited to about nine carries per game, and was often off the field for drives at a time. It was almost as if Tom Herman did not want him to rush for 150 yards and a couple touchdowns a game, because there is no other explanation as to why he was so mismanaged. Even in his limited carries, he still showed why he will be one of the best players in college football this season, as he posted 703 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 8.2 yards per carry. Here is what ESPN had to say:

In the last four games of his freshman season, Robinson went off: 47 rushes for 522 yards and four touchdowns, eight catches for 129 yards and two more scores. The No. 21 prospect in 2020’s ESPN 300 could be a go-to for Steve Sarkisian’s first Longhorn offense.

Robinson is expected to get north of 20 carries per game under Sarkisian, and if he is able to run with the authority he did in his limited chances last year, he could very well rush for over 2,000 yards and find himself as a Heisman finalist.

DJ Monroe and Daje Johnson were the two most overrated players of the last 20 years.  Daje had 0 catches in the CFL because the coaches too just weren't smart enough to get him the ball I guess. Think DJ is a railroad conductor now or something. They didn't get the ball because they weren't good enough

Just s friendly reminder that some guy named Nick Saban decided that DJ Monroe was the most dangerous player on UT’s offense when they played Bama in 09. That’s not to say the Heisman was all but his save for the utter ineptitude that was GD, but this thought that he plain sucked is wrong. 

I don’t think he was even a poor man’s Goodwin, but he wasn’t the JV waterboy either. He, much like Goodwin, was the victim of Greg Davis being unable to find a creative mind from which to copy innovative offensive ways to use those skill sets.

The Athletic's Depth Chart Projection. Still nothing about that guy on twitter saying it's Card, but Sam Kahn is projecting it to be Card

https://theathletic.com/2789051/2021/08/25/texas-offensive-depth-chart-projection-and-the-longhorns-new-starting-qb-is/

Spoiler

Steve Sarkisian’s first training camp at Texas has wrapped up and the No. 21 Longhorns are beginning to shift their focus toward their Week 1 opponent: No. 23 Louisiana.

The Longhorns have had more than two weeks of practice this month, a pair of scrimmages and sufficient opportunities to evaluate their roster, both during camp and over the course of the offseason. Now, Sarkisian and his staff must decide who they will rely on when Sept. 4 arrives.

The most important question — who’s starting at quarterback — remains unanswered (at least publicly), but battles at other positions are becoming more clear. Based on what’s been seen and heard, here is a projection of Texas’ offensive depth chart for its season opener.

Quarterback

Starter: Hudson Card (RS-Fr.)
Backup: Casey Thompson (Jr.)

Card and Thompson have engaged in a tight competition throughout the offseason, with each having his fair share of ups and downs. Sarkisian has been reluctant to tip his hand. On Saturday, he said: “If I can put my head down on the pillow at night, and know who that starter is, that’s great. That doesn’t mean I have to tell you guys and announce it.”

But when Sarkisian says he feels good about his options, he isn’t just providing lip service; the Longhorns can win games with either quarterback. But only one of them can take the first snap on Sept. 4 against Louisiana, and the projection here is that Card will be the one.

With his pure arm strength and ability to throw on the run, Card’s upside in Sarkisian’s offense seems limitless. He can make any throw Sarkisian asks, fire it into small windows and keep defenses off-balance with his mobility. As a redshirt freshman, Card could cement himself as Texas’ long-term QB1 with a strong 2021 showing.

Thompson is a fine alternative though. He operates with a command and confidence that is commensurate with his upperclassman status. The way he met the moment in the Alamo Bowl win against Colorado in December signified his poise.

The other scholarship quarterback on the roster is true freshman Charles Wright, a local product from Austin High. Wright, a three-star recruit, was productive as a prep in Texas’ highest high school classification, but he will be a developmental player for the Longhorns this season.

Running back

Starter: Bijan Robinson (Soph.)
Top backups: Roschon Johnson (Jr.), Keilan Robinson (Jr.), Jonathon Brooks (Fr.)

This is a group Sarkisian justifiably feels great about. Bijan Robinson is primed for a breakout season after providing glimpses last year of why he was a five-star recruit. Though his touches were limited in 2020, the preseason first-team All-Big 12 selection was one of the most explosive players in the country when he had the ball. Of players with at least 100 touches last season, only Alabama’s DeVonta Smith and Ole Miss’ Elijah Moore averaged more yards per play from scrimmage than Robinson (8.9).

Johnson, a former quarterback, has established himself as a versatile, reliable second option. He’s effective carrying the ball, catching it out of the backfield and as a blocker. He also plays with a physical nature that Sarkisian prefers.

Brooks and Keilan Robinson are the newcomers and are terrific rotational options. Robinson, an Alabama transfer, is fast, knows Sarkisian’s offense and can contribute in myriad ways: as a rusher, receiver and a return specialist. Sarkisian considers Robinson a good “change-up” option who could be a factor on screen passes, bubble screens and jet sweeps. Brooks, a four-star recruit from Hallettsville, Texas, is talented enough to get more carries than he likely will this season, but he helps make running back depth a “luxury,” Sarkisian said.

Wide Receivers

Starters: Joshua Moore (Jr.), Jordan Whittington (Soph.), Xavier Worthy (Fr.)
Top backups: Marcus Washington (Jr.), Troy Omeire (RS-Fr.), Kelvontay Dixon (RS-Fr.), Jaden Alexis (Fr.), Kai Money (Jr.)

The talent in this group is good, but the depth is shaky given how many bumps and bruises Texas has suffered here.

Moore is the No. 1 option as the team’s returning receptions leader and most experienced of the bunch. After a nine-touchdown season in 2020, he has looked even better in training camp.

Whittington, a former five-star recruit, has battled injuries throughout his career and is hoping for better luck this season. If he can stay on the field, he is an impact player at slot receiver. Throughout spring and training camp, Whittington has been subject of effusive praise.

Worthy, a former Michigan signee who changed course and enrolled at Texas in the spring, has turned heads this month. His top-end speed gives the Longhorns another deep option, which was sorely needed. Coaches and teammates alike have raved about Worthy’s performances in summer workouts and in training camp.

Washington, a junior, received reps with the first-team offense last week when Worthy missed a practice with an illness. Sarkisian was optimistic about the return of Omeire, a former four-star recruit who missed last season with a torn ACL. But he suffered a knee strain a week ago that could keep him out a week or two. Sarkisian sounds hopeful that Omeire won’t have to miss a significant portion of the season.

Alexis, a true freshman, left Saturday’s scrimmage with a knee injury but his status isn’t yet publicly known. Dixon, a redshirt freshman, has a little experience; he caught a memorable 73-yard touchdown in the Alamo Bowl last season. Money has been a consistent presence in spring and during camp, making plays whenever his number has been called.

Tight ends

Starters: Cade Brewer (Sr.), Jared Wiley (Jr.)
Top backups: Gunnar Helm (Fr.), Juan Davis (Fr.), Ja’Tavion Sanders (Fr.)

The Longhorns will take a significant number of snaps with two tight ends this season, making this a key position in Sarkisian’s offense. It is unquestionably the deepest position on the team.

Brewer, a super senior, is a do-it-all option. He’s a solid blocker in the running game, whether lined up attached to the offensive line or as an H-back, and is an asset in the passing game, where he will spend some time detached from the line. Tight ends coach Jeff Banks called Brewer a “phenomenal leader” who sets the tone for the group.

Wiley, who is 6-foot-7, 251 pounds, has made his impact this offseason as an attached tight end. Banks called him “the most improved player” of the group, and though he’s an athletic and talented pass catcher, he has made his mark as a blocker. “That’s what we need him to do,” Banks said. The Longhorns will look to Wiley to set the edge in the running game.

The freshman trio that follows is talented. Helm has excited the coaching staff with his knowledge and how quickly he picked up the offense. “He doesn’t play like a freshman,” Banks said. “He has all the right answers on the test when you’re quizzing him.” Sanders, a five-star recruit who was the highest-rated signee in Texas’ 2021 class, and Davis are both talented receiving options, but Banks wants them to improve their physicality in the running game. But the future is bright for both as their raw ability is evident.

Offensive line

Starters: Tackles: Derek Kerstetter (Sr.), Christian Jones (Jr.); Guards: Denzel Okafor (Sr.), Junior Angilau (Jr.); Center Jake Majors (RS-Fr.)
Top backup(s): Tope Imade (Sr.), Andrej Karic (RS-Fr.), Hayden Conner (Fr.)

The starting group has a lot of experience.

Kerstetter, a super senior who is returning from a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula, has a lot of positional flexibility. He can play any position along the line, but he likely figures in as a tackle. He has 46 games to his credit, including 37 starts. Jones, a fourth-year junior who started all 10 games last season, will occupy the other tackle.

Okafor, a sixth-year senior, and Angilau, a fourth-year junior, are returning starters at the guard spots. Majors, who started the last two games in 2020 at center, has been lauded this offseason for his work and growth there and will be the Longhorns’ mainstay in the middle.

Sarkisian said he prefers to have three players with snapping experience heading into a season. While Majors will be the starter, Angilau has also worked on snapping during training camp. Kerstetter, who started eight games at center last season, is also an option if needed.

Offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Kyle Flood would like to have at least eight players he can rely upon on game day, and Imade, Conner and Karic project as the remaining three. Karic, a redshirt freshman who Sarkisian called a “good, physical player,” likely serves as the third offensive tackle behind Kerstetter and Jones.

Imade, a sixth-year senior, fits in as a reserve guard. At 6-6, 361 pounds, Imade started his Texas career on the offensive line and briefly switched to defensive line in 2017 before returning to offense. “He provides a lot of strength and physicality internally for us,” Sarkisian said.

Conner, a true freshman, is someone Sarkisian said really improved in the first two-plus weeks of training camp.

Sophomores Isaiah Hookfin and Tyler Johnson and redshirt freshman Logan Parr are potential options if needed.

Throw the ball to Bijan.

If we want to get really fancy, we can fake the hand off to Bijan before we throw it to him.

Sorry, this doesn't meet the Mensa criteria.  I propose we only let Bijan get 5 opportunities on 10 plays.  Then we keep him on the sidelines because the opposing defenses will have been working all week to shut him down, without him on the field, they will be confused and not know what to expect.

He got no run for the NFL. He didn’t have baggage like Daje or Ramonce. Shipley was what a 3rd rounder. We tried that shovel pass to DJ I believe.

If Saban said it pregame, you and Greg got played. As if to say, run that. We’ll be ready. If he said it post game, he was just being courteous. Or jacking with Mack and Greg.

We don’t really know what DJ was. He didn’t even play enough to whether he was good. The best OCs probably could have found a viable use for him. Certainly another guy who Greg left you thinking what if.

Ramonce would have been an NFL player if he had his shit together.  He wasn't as good as Jamaal Charles in 2005, but he was closer to him than he was to Selvin Young.
Goodwin is the guy we criminally underutilized in those late Mack years.  He's been the fastest guy in the NFL for almost a decade and we didn't even really use him as a deep threat.   He only averaged 11 yards per catch for his career, and he was under 10 yards per catch overall for his first two years when Greg Davis was still OC.  It wasn't because he sucked.  It's because we inexplicably thought the only way to use fast guys was to throw WR screens and underneath routes to them.  Then Harsin gave him some jet sweeps, but we still didn't target him deep very often.  Because Mike Davis and Jaxon Shipley were so explosive, I guess.

In 2009, our offensive line was bad. And our run game was anemic. They got obliterated by good defenses. The dink and dunk offense was what we had. And Mack hated taking sacks and turnovers. It was part of his 10-win formula.

In 2010, we had Gilbert and the new kind-of power run game.

2011, Case McCoy and true frosh David Ash.

By 2012, Goodwin should have been more of a factor. He had that great Ole Miss game. That offense was decent against average to below average teams. Ash was better.

My recollection is that Goodwin missed a bunch of practice time due to track. But I cant fully explain his lack of use either.

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, and it is too early to be a real concern, but the weather folk are looking closely at a weather system brewing in the Caribbean that could develop into something in the gulf next week, and it’s currently tracking into Louisiana. Again, could be nothing, just giving a heads up for the weather nerds. Only mentioning because Lafayette would be affected if one of the models played out. 

Now back to the Greg Davis talk...

Christ, Herman was such a dipshit. Kissing the players before games would be fine if there was a reason or story behind it. But it was so obviously performative and contrived. When it trickled out that he was generally a prick to the players in day-to-day interactions, it looks even more phony. Man he sucked.

I am an ex member of the Spurs organization, which has several active UT football members including a couple of starters, and we were told yesterday by the players that Hudson was named the starter. It’s an open secret at this point with this being discussed the past 24 hours in our group chat by those football players.

There is very little confidence in where that system is going to end up. Various models have it anywhere from Louisiana to Mexico. Should know more by the weekend as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico.

Also worth noting that landfall would probably be early next week and the game would likely not be directly impacted given that timeline. Certainly something to watch in general but I don’t think there’s going to be a significant impact on the game here.

It is kind of weird how we've had reports for a week or two now saying Card is getting 1st team reps but little to no hints or reports of him being named starter, so maybe it is some kind of open secret they're just not reporting?
