Beantown Express 2.0

Exactly. I think starting 2 freshmen OL is even worse but that's the best we have and in a year or two those freshmen will be hopefully pretty awesome but they are taking their licks right now.

How bout pulling some game film and watching our center and both our guards block this season. Ewers doesn't have plenty of time, especially on up the middle pass rushes and there isn't a ton of separation by our receiving weapons. Bijan is crazy good but a lot of his awesome runs are more him then our great run blocking. The interior OL has been abused consistently in almost every game. That shitastic blocking by them is part of the reason our offense has been so inconsistent to non existent in a lot of games. You can also add in Worthy and other receivers dropping a lot of balls/running wrong routes and also Ewers struggling with throws and his reads. You could also add in Sark with some crappy play calling at times. Ewers isn't a surprise as he is playing his first year of college football so the struggles are kind of expected and I do think he will be better next year. I also think the OL will be better next year which will be one of the reasons Ewers plays better.

Too bad there is not a Holiday Bowl anymore for Mack Brown to go play in.

Don’t think Okie St matters. Just K State loss and us beating Baylor and then we get to ruin TCU’s undefeated season.

Negged for sucking at spelling.

How many holding calls have been called on the offensive line playing Texas all year? I am actually curious about that.

It looks like that drive we took people out of the stands and let them play in our defensive back field.

Not so sure about that. He put it on his outside shoulder where the DB couldn’t get to it. A good WR catches that. Not saying Ewers has been good this game but that throw was fine.

Worthy did drop a pretty easy ball right in his hands down field earlier in the second half.

Exactly what I am going to do today except I am going to play golf in 40 degree temps right now so I guess I am just a glutton for punishment.

It’s a ridiculous point. Now, if we just had a prime Tom Brady and Lawrence Taylor then we would have a chance against Kansas.

A majority of the people that voted for them would read what you just wrote and say, "It's about damn time".

I also thought it was pretty good and can’t wait to see what they do with The Mayfair Witches in January.

Welp, it's better than being a Diving and Swimming school.

You're right about Briles. They will probably go after Urban or Saban.

I have been posting a lot also saying it’s not all Ewers fault. Ewers definitely had some terrible throws. The INT was a misread and a late throw. Missing Bijan for the wide open TD was a terrible read. He fucks up. Guess what? He’s a freshman. That is going to happen. Maybe it happens the rest of his career and he never gets better. That would make him a huge bust, but follow me here for a second, maybe just maybe he improves over the next year or so. I know that never happens with a QB but if it does I think Ewers will be just fine. Worthy dogging a lot of those plays and the O line sucking at blocking is a bigger issue at this point.

Exactly. It's akin to drafting a great QB with the first pick of the NFL draft and then seeing him struggle his rookie year when you start him immediately behind your mediocre to bad O line and not great WR's. You shouldn't label that QB a bust in that scenario when sometimes it takes time for players to develop. If, and it's a big if, but like you said if we win the last 2 games this team will have gone 8-4 with a huge win over OU and not getting blown out by anybody including Bama. I'm pretty sure most rational posters on this board would have taken that before the season started.

The way our line was run blocking that would have been 3 and outs also unfortunately. The TCU D would not have been tired in the 4th quarter either unless tackling our RB’s at the line of scrimmage tired them out. It looked like our OL in the interior were totally whiffing on blocking the TCU players.

We should have that not next year but the year after. Possibly next year if some of the current Freshmen OL really develop over the summer but not likely. The year after we will have a line of Juniors and Sophomores that will be as good as any in the country.

First time seeing the video of Worthy versus what I saw from being at the game live. Worthy leaving will be addition by subtraction if we go get a WR with some fight in him that can catch. He either dropped the ball or for some reason does not come back for the ball to help his QB out but instead falls away from contact. I get he has speed but any decent NFL scout will shy away from him based on this type of film. They want guys that will fight for the ball and not hang their QB out to dry. On that first throw Ewers may have been late but look at Worthy falling away from the ball allowing the defender to knock it away. If that was a legit WR he comes back for that ball and he catches that shit.

Josh McDaniels could be available any minute.

Haven't paid attention today but where are we at with the House. We still have another few weeks until we know the final numbers? Last I heard it sounded like the Republicans will be winning it definitely but not sure if they will be at 218-222 majority. That sound right?
