York is tiny and he's not going to have massive guys in front of him to buy him time on plays. He's like a midget version of Danny Stutsman.

You articulated all of this better than I could think it out. I've subconsciously noticed a theme on Texags where the majority gloss over York's diminutive stature as if they're discussing Dat Nguyen. And I actually started believing that he must be a feisty overachiever as I got caught in the lazy current of aggie delusion. He can wrap and tackle well enough. But he isn't the lateral missile or interior authority that they're allowing themselves to believe. He has done well enough cleaning up inside as backs stumble through initial contact. So naturally they've talked about whether he'll be drafted somewhere after his junior year. The reality is that he was still a 3 star prospect even after winning two district mvp's. In the Chin Pubes comic strip he's a midget version of Quentin Coryatt. 40 pounds ago he ran a 12.01 100 that was probably in a 21 mph back wind. His 5'10 listing is true if Joe Rogan is 6'2.

Many giggles will be had after they are giving up an average of 8 ypc when they're done playing ND, Mississippi State and Auburn.

Gonna be funny when the aggys have to spend all season mentioning how good UTSA is

They are likely going to approach 10 wins, it might be their best win on the year.

Anytime Tarp can get a minute away from the football department censors, he's writing subtle SOS letters disguised as threads in which he's trying to let anyone who may be listening know - know that the aggie defense is going to have its cheeks clapped on a regular basis. 

Spoilered below is an article in which Tarp explains that the dominance in camp of the aggie offense might not be the greatest thing. It's also giving an indicator that the aggie front 6/7 is small and is going to get manhandled this season. He fails to say they're also slow and that they lack talent, but we don't need him to tell us that, as we've watched them play. 

Highlights:

-York and Scooby Doo go 227 and 230, listed. York is a menacing 5'10". York is tiny and he's not going to have massive guys in front of him to buy him time on plays. He's like a midget version of Danny Stutsman. He'll rack up 10 tackles per game, averaging a distance of 9 yards down the field per tackle. 

-Albert Regis is listed as 6'1", 320. He's a buttplug who's probably not clocking in at 6'0" if he were somehow invited to the combine. 

-What they fail to account for in the interior isn't helped out on the outside, where they are also small-ish. Here's where Tarp explains that they're going to have to walk safeties up on most plays.

-Luckily, Tarp points out the solution to all of this: The aggies need to always be playing with a lead. If they have the lead, they can theoretically apply pressure on the passing game. I didn't realize that being small and slow made your matchups favorable in the passing game for a defense, but I am not an aggie sportswriter, either. 

-The good news is that ATM won't be playing any teams this year with talent in the running game. There aren't any guys like Jeremiah Love or Ahmad Hardy or Jadyn Baugh or CJ Baxter with size and speed to punish their weakness. No mobile QBs like Taylen Green or Arch Manning or DJ Lagway or Lenoris Sellers to press the outside and run RPO. Nothing to see here, folks.

    Texas A&M’s offensive line and particularly its interior group is projected to be very good in 2025. It’s been one of the reasons that the offense has probably had more moments than the defense so far in fall camp.

    However, there’s got to be winners and losers in football. Since the Aggies have been working against themselves, if the one group has been doing well, the opposite side of the ball has been a different story.

    Thus, when we’re discussing how well the Aggies G-C-G combination has looked and how well they’ve reportedly run the football, it’s hard to get some perspective on how good the interior of the defense is going to be.

    There is a size mismatch between the two groups. The offensive line trio of Chase Bisontis, Mark Nabou, and Ar’maj Reed-Adams go 315, 330, and 325 pounds.

    A&M defensive tackles Albert Regis and DJ Hicks are 320 and 310 but Regis isn’t very lengthy at 6 foot 1. Backers Taurean York and Scooby Williams go 227 and 230 pounds, but York is listed at 5 foot 10. Their backups that will round out the rotations are about the same size.

    The length and mass of the Aggies’ interior defenders has been a point of contention all off season. You can try to make comparisons among other Southeastern Conference football teams in order to make the case that A&M’s interior size is nothing to worry about.

    Nonetheless, so far when push has come to shove dating back to the spring, the offense has been able to run the ball more often. The only time that hasn’t happened was in the Maroon & White Game when the Aggies sat some people out, split their offensive line up among both teams, and then threw the ball all over the place.

    A&M is lacking the big ends it had not just last season but also in past years as well. People underestimated the difficulty of running against 280 to 285 pound people with length on outside zone, power, and sweeps unless you opponents found ways to generate favorable blocking angles or ran away from them.

    This also means that the Aggies’ safeties have to get involved more often in stopping the run as well since the backs are about the same size as the back end defenders.

    This analysis indicates that while A&M is equipped to control games with their running game like the 2024 Aggies, the defense may be better equipped to play from ahead. They can use the passing game to build leads, the rushing offense to protect them, and then the defense gets to use its athleticism to get after opponents.

    That formula may well the Aggies’ most likely pathway to success in 2025.

 

Stoopid sip - aggy likes shorter defenders.

They've got multiple Sammy O'Brient clones on the roster just waiting to be unleashed. Short backers? Ever heard of Sam Mills? Advantage, aggy
