I see some Emmitt Smith shiftiness in these highlights... Simon moves extremely well in tight spaces

 

If you’d rather not hear that dude prattle on while talking over hudl highlights…

Only read the first page, but am interested in coaching moves.  Are you saying we hired Alina? For real?  He's gotta be at least 70, which is fine for a head coach, but a position coach is more of a grind job I would think.  And what about the king of bad charma, Gideon? Is he gone yet? 

I will never forget the craziness of Gideon.  If he dropped the one he caught, and caught the one he dropped, chances are 90% plus we have two more national championships.   Everybody remembers Tech, but some people forget the BCS game against Alabama, when he did a wonderful job of catching the interception, but it was fourth down.  Drop it dude!  

Much like January 1984 with Craig Curry and Jitter Fields,  it will always be too soon.  

No way this is a sober post

Some practice notes from IT

Spoiler

Texas hasn’t made practices open to the media since Thursday, but that doesn’t mean the information stops flowing. Here’s the latest intel from work done over the weekend on the 40 Acres.

DJ Campbell and Ryan Wingo return to practice Monday. In fact, they’re practicing right now. 

QB: Arch Manning made good throws in the scrimmage portion of Saturday’s practice. I believe they worked on situations from 25 yards and in. He was picking the right matchups based on coverage. So far, Steve Sarkisian has been impressed with Arch’s command and decision-making. 

WR: Emmett Mosley‘s a good, savvy route runner. He’s gotten looks in the slot recently. We’ve been hearing about more pre-snap movement with the receivers. With Wingo out, the receivers were Mosley, DeAndre Moore, and Parker Livingstone. 

TE: Jack Endries is the guy. “Catches everything. Smart player.” Endries runs real routes, almost like a WR. “More athletic than Gunnar Helm.” Helm was great but Sark did a lot of the heavy lifting through scheme. Endries can create on his own. 

RB: Jerrick Gibson had a good day on Saturday. “James Simon has a great future.” CJ Baxter is obviously not 100% but is ahead of schedule. He’s ahead of where they thought he would be. Tre Wisner is already dinged up; they have him on a pitch count.

OL: “Brandon Baker getting more comfortable by the day.” Coaches are gaining more trust in him. “He can be pretty good this year.” That right there is the best note in this piece. 

Edge: Ethan Burke and Colin Simmons are obviously the starters “but Zina Umeozulu has highest motor, he plays hard.” Zina has been at Buck. 

DT: Travis Shaw and Hero Kanu still standing out. Hero knows how to win. Sark rates very highly for the player doing what he’s supposed to do and being assignment sound. Justus Terry was at D-tackle on Saturday. 

LB: Liona Leafau “has a nose for the ball and is great in coverage. He’s super smart.” In the iron sharpens iron department, “Ant Hill cutting his teeth covering Endries at times.” 

Star: Graceson Littleton had a good day at Star but they seem to want a safety there. That would be Michael Taaffe or Jelani McDonald. Or both. Said a source, “whoever the coaches tell to play there will play there.”

Safety: McDonald and Taaffe, then Derek Williams when Taaffe goes to Star. “Taaffe in man hasn’t been an issue. He can cover in the slot. He’s smart and quick.” 

CB: “Warren Roberson is playing his best. He’s flat out been good. Playing with better understanding, getting his hands on the ball.” Kobe Black is earning trust by the day. Malik Muhammad is the most consistent.

Zina is at Buck edge? That’s a very crowded room. Simmons, Spence, Vasek, Zina, Jackson, Terry (part time).

Buck: Simmons, Zina, Spence, Orogbo

Jack: Burke, Vasek, Jackson, and assume Terry.

Some 9.95er said the other day that Jackson is working at Buck.

Interesting that is a big ass Buck. He projects to Jack long term. Guessing they are just putting him there to get more snaps.

Could be that he's just the weak side defensive end in four man fronts for short yardage or goal line. Not for base defense.

Very possible, but you could use the DTs that way and PK has done that (play DT at Jack and bump the Jack to Buck). I would guess you will see that this year, given the absurd depth at DT. I usually worry about assignment soundness and play strength, when it comes to freshmen DL. Lot of them have the size, but not necessarily the play strength to line up vs OL that have been in college S&C programs 3-4 years longer. It is early in camp, so I take it all with a grain of salt. Coaches move people around for all types of reasons.
