I think this was in the movie Game Night. IIRC Jason Bateman was being confronted by a guy with a gun on the tarmac near a jet. Standing only a few feet apart bad guys gets sucked off his feet and into the jet engine.
I figured with JBrooks being a guy who’s had primarily garbage time carries (and very few of them) and Baxter being a true freshman that Blue would get plenty of opportunities. I see Keilan as getting more plays but not necessarily traditional between the tackles running.
we’ve been lucky with Robinson and Johnson being durable but I’d hate to see Blue leave. He hasn’t gotten enough carries to know if he’s any good.
Speaking of car commercials, hate the Volvo commercial where some chick continually yells “right here, right now!” Had to look it up, I guess it’s a Fatboy Slim song. I guess if you know the song it makes sense but if you don’t know the song the commercial seems kinda stupid. I guess Volvo thinks Volvo drivers are hip enough that they celebrate Fatboy Slim’s entire catalog but I’m not sure they’re right.
I hope USC or whoever pays handsomely for his services.
He needs to get his shit together and decide if he’s serious about playing WR in the NFL. I don’t think he’s gonna like the outcome if he doesn’t make some drastic changes in the way he plays. I know. Ice cold take.
Great point about Whittington’s contributions as a blocker. He definitely got other players yards and TD they wouldn’t have gotten if he were a selfish teammate. His contribution to the team is far greater than the numbers he puts up. The opposite of Worthy.
My hope that Worthy stays is primarily FOMO; that he’ll go somewhere else and out up big numbers but I don’t think that happens because I don’t think he’s the type who will suddenly care about route precision, or sell out to catch a ball that’s not perfectly thrown. And he’s never shown the ability to make tough catches and he drops a lot of easy balls.
I have no idea who Brennan Thompson is as a player, have no idea what Neyor will be like coming off an injury, Cane is who he is, and you dont want have to rely of true freshman. Hope was can find a killer via the portal.
I don’t get the criticism of Whitt. I agree he’s not lived up to 5 star and he doesn’t play as fast as you’d think but he gets open, has very good hands and moves the sticks. He doesn’t pull away from defenders but he fights for yards. He plays in a part of the fields where there’s a lot of traffic. He’s less likely to have huge gains.
He’s reliable, physical, high effort guy.
He’s a way better number 2 receiver than Worthy is a number 1 receiver or Cain is a number 3 (or whoever we consider the no 3).
Don’t buy the broken hand thing. I could be wrong but seems like a convenient excuse for dropping a lot of balls. Problem is he’s always dropped a lot of catchable balls.
Amazing comeback story. Despite winning the Doak, I’d contend that he was under appreciated nationally during his final season at Texas. It was the 3-5 yard runs that made him great. On a team with little offensive talent and a poor OL he rarely got caught in the back field or for negligible yards. Always found a way to get yards where none existed.
Man that wrote up by Tarp is brutal if you are an aggy.
The two things that gave them hope after a 5 win season were:
1. Expectation for a “big dog” OC hire that would take control of the offense and
2. Restocking talent quickly through the portal.
Now they ain’t got shit to hope for. Just blind faith that minus some of their young talent that left, they are essentially going to do the same thing next year and somehow it’ll work better.
I look forward to the civil war between the realists and the sunshine pumpers when the new, underwhelming OC is announced.
