We would have had 3 other receivers go for 500+ if Mosley was healthy all year. And this is with a QB who was wildly inconsistent the first 6-7 games.AD, Worthy, Whittington and Mitchell easily had their best years under him too in 2023/2024.

And Mosley being healthy.
4 hours ago4 hr I also think a big part of coaching receivers at this level is managing egos. It’s a diva position. Coming from the NFL he brought more of a pro mindset and I think that has been beneficial.

Meanwhile, schools like Indiana are rolling out 3-star (or lower) receivers who look better than anything we have. At that point, it’s either bad evaluation or bad coaching.

At that point, it’s either bad evaluation or bad coaching.I’m pretty sure Wingo has a similar stat line to Indiana’s #1 WR. Also catching contested balls isn’t just on the WR. We had a QB trying to figure shit out for about half the season. Both Arch and Wingo were better in the second half of the season. Wingo just needs to clean up those drops.
3 hours ago3 hr I know they’re all money years now, but it’s funny how players get focused the season they expect to jump to the nfl. And that’s wingo next year.

3 hours ago3 hr 1 hour ago, ClubWhatever said:Is it possible to teach “catching”?It actually is. Juggs reps, one-handed reps, and jump ball reps can and do drive more proficiency for catching the ball. I found myself wondering this year if Texas was doing any of that and how often, but surely they are. The offseason will hopefully include a crazy amount of that work as well as cut and quickness drills. Having the dropsies can also be psychological for a player, sort of like a RB with a fumbling problem. That shit can change for a WR from one season to another if that is the problem.

Wingo just needs to clean up those drops.Probably the case but is he making plays for the Arch at QB?? When I watch Indiana Suratt or Cooper they’re making plays . Mosley was the only one I seen making plays. In order for Wingo or Moore to do that you had to put them in great positions same with Parker .

Not only the drops but 50/50 balls are more like 10/90 with Texas WRs this year. It's been driving me crazy watching the WRs from Indiana and other CFP teams routinely make those difficult catches. Mosely is the only one with ball skills this year (maybe Lockett, TBD). Last year Golden had them and Bond was ok.
2 minutes ago2 min Have there been any rumblings about Nansen yet? I will be surprised if he survives the Muschamp transition and it shouldn't be that difficult to find him a DC gig somewhere as a soft landing.
