  1. My point was the issues are systemic. I agree that they were to a much bigger degree this year, but any degree should be addressed and is hurting the team.
  2. Colt is better than Ewers but come on. Colt did that against a Big12 schedule my guy. Colt isn't leading the team in rushing vs an SEC schedule and coming out healthy. I'm not saying the SEC is all that, but they ARE more physical in the trenches. 2024 Ewers lost to Georgia and Ohio State, both more talented teams than Texas. Where are these lesser teams that Ewers lost to? Where are these superior teams Colt was beating? 2008 Ohio State was the only one. There isn't this chasm between the two like you are making it out to be. You make it like Colt did it by himself. Guys made plays around him. 08 OU, we picked off two passes, and had a return for a TD. Og had 15 carries for 130. Cody Johnson had 3 rushing TDs. In 09 Muschamp's D held OU to 13 points, picking him off twice. In the Big12 Championship game Colt threw 3 picks and got sacked 9 times. Muschamp's D turned NU over 3 times and held them to 12 points. We only had to score 13. We were held to 202 total yards but Muschamp's defense held them to 106 total yards. Let me repeat that for you. 106 total yards bro. Colt had a lot of timely help.
  3. The same issues we had last year we had this year. Playcalling, O-line whiffs, drops, inability to run the football, and timely penalties. Two RZ trips in the GA game were stalled by a Bond offensive PI and a hold on an outside run. We missed two field goals too. We had a dropped TD and 4 other drops. The QB threw for 358. As a matter of fact the QB outplayed the other team's QB in every game we lost in 2024. Had we done something about the mental mistakes and not try to call fake double screens in the red zone maybe we win that game. Even the offense we ran was a bad fit for Ewers. He is a spread concept guy. Holding the ball forever isn't his game so get it out of his hands quickly.
  4. What's funnier is when you realize lil buddy is in his 40's.
  5. You guys really watched this season and still don't see how Sark let Ewers down? Double throw back screens in the red zone? 12 personnel with Juan Davis as your second TE, basically conceding the possibility of another receiver? Back to the field, slow developing play action? Not addressing the run game which would fail you in big games over and over? Busted protections and penalties from the same player on the right side of the line but never addressing it? Question? Will a route develop quicker from a spread look or from a compact set? If you come to the correct answer why were we running so much of it? 12 personnel is to run the football. Period. If you cannot run the football why the fuck are you lining up in it? In 2023 it made sense because you had two receiving TEs and you could still spread the field from it, but when you only have 1? The fuck are we doing? Yet we ran more 12 in 2024 than 2023. Go look at the opening script for the SEC Championship. Wide open and slinging it. After 1.5 quarters Ewers has I wanna say 160-70 yards. We drop a TD pass and get a couple RZ penalties or else its 14-nil. Then what does Sark do? Goes back to his clunky offense and grinds away until the 4th quarter when he has to score again. Are we really are still here, with the advantages of hindsight, still expecting Ewers to win those Georgia and Ohio State games without a running game?
  6. When you see he played football at Yale it all makes sense.
  7. Gross. Who wants that dusty ass pussy? Dude is 32 and a multi millionaire. If he can't pull better pussy than that shame on him.
  8. Fucking Steelers whole gameplan of chipping Garrett all game and only throwing short to keep Garrett from getting home, lost them the game this week.
  9. I mean dude split the doubleteam and was in the backfield immediately. How does that happen?
  10. Yeah, that's pretty much bs. Dude just signed up but just happens to know about Derka's opinions from years ago. I've argued with @Derka more than most, but I respect him, which is why we only argue on the topic of QBs. I don't think I've ever even negged the dude. Some dudes follow Derka around wherever he posts antagonizing him. Including creating new handles to do so. Weirdos.
  11. Pittsburgh is gonna lose because they don't want Garrett to get the sack record. Lol
  12. That was some of the worst goal line playcalling I've seen in awhile. Even worse than drunk Sark.
  13. Yeah, with all the short shit Miami is running the Bucs were trying to jump anything quick and got caught. TD
  14. This isn't the flex this dude thinks it is. Having guys go on to hall of fame careers while you are perennially 8-4 is not a good look for your program sir. Aggy is like the Los Angeles Clippers. It doesn't matter who plays for you. You are cursed to remain mediocre for all eternity. It might be time to bring in a Shaman or a couple of priests to sprinkle some holy water around campus. Or find out what evils you did to anger the football gods.
  15. Thatguy replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    Muschamp probably walked in the secondary room and slapped a list of his DBs and their draft positions on the wall and walked out.
  16. Thank you for the correction sir! Was that the 83 defense?
  17. I graded him a close second. Muschamp's 09 defense might be the best D we've ever had in my era. I cannot speak on Aker's defenses or prior. But what Greg Robinson did in 2013 might be nothing short of a miracle. The year prior Manny _iaz gave up 31, 36, 48, 63, 50, 42, and then 2nd game of 2013 Manny let QB Taysum Hill run for 259 yards, and BYU rush for 556 total(40 points). They let _iaz go and Greg turned the defense around immediately. I remember Steve Edmond looked like the worst linebacker ever and by the end of the season was solid. Impressive!
  18. Imagine waking up and seeing those eyes a foot from you in bed.
  19. 247, which was big back then, had him as a 3 star, but I am sure you could find some recruiting service that had him as a 4 star. I posted the 247 ranking above in the screenshot because its still up. 247 also did an interview with ET that I will post for @Revolution512. Since he's the kind of guy that needs receipts. https://247sports.com/college/texas/article/horns247-catching-up-with-earl-thomas-139891/ So there you go. The article talks about how we recruited him as a position-less athlete just like I said. Then ET goes on to talk about how they recruited bigger athletes that they believed in more than him. Lastly he tells of how even Akina didn't put him on the field when he was DC and Boom was the one that believed in him when no one else did. Straight from the horse's mouth. All this talk of ET being some dude the university saw as that guy is nonsensical hindsight. Now let's get back to talking about Boom.
  20. Black folks are gonna take care of Nicki. Don't you worry bout that. Also, I read a comment that said what Nicki Minaj did is called Kanyekaze'ing. Brilliant
  21. Lol. Who didn't get a super positive eval back in the MackBrownTexasFootball.com, orange slices era? Every report out of camp was "Chris Hall is greatly improved"and "Dan Buckner is dominating DBs in practice". Geezus! When ET came they didn't know what they were going to do with him. You literally just said it yourself, "I believe they even started him out at corner early on". If Akina recruited him to play safety then why did they try him at corner? Because they had bigger, more highly ranked dudes that they recruited to play safety and thought there wasn't any room for him there. The "ATH" designation tells you exactly that. They tried him at corner. He wasn't good at corner so they changed him to safety. He was a 3 star recruit who Boom turned into a 1st rounder at the position HE played in college and that's no coincidence considering Boom himself was Blake Gideon before Blake Gideon. Why are we arguing this anyway? You tried to discredit the guy as if he had a lockerroom full of 5 stars which is far far from reality. In 07 we gave up 32 to Central Florida, 41 to Kstate, 28 to OU, 35 to OSU, 25 to Nebraska, 43 to Tech, 38 to aggy, and 34 to ASU. The next year, with a brand new install, we only allowed 4 teams to score more than 21, and that includes Ohio State. In 09 only 3, and that includes a national championship game where it like 24-21 late with a QB who threw 4 picks. Idgaf who you are that's solid coaching, and that's why the dude has a Paul Bunyan like cult following. To a lesser degree, Greg Robinson did the same thing taking over after Manny _iaz. You gonna "Well actually..." him too? You
  22. Revisionist history eh? Were you paying attention when I said players were lost and had no role? Melton was a rb in 05 and 06. He had 11 total tackles in 07 and was a guy who was just there, doomed to stand on the sideline and get some mop up duty. Boom came and 29 tackles, 10 TFLs, 4 sacks, 2 PBUs, and 1 forced fumble. His single season playing under Boom. As far as ET is concerned, if you recall we grabbed 6 ft Safety Christian Scott who was in the Army All American game, and the year prior we had grabbed 6'2 safety James Henry who was in that year's Army All American game, as well as 4 star 6'2 Robert Joseph. ET was recruited as an athlete. He had no designation at that time. He was just supposed to be a filler guy. We were hearing he was more than his recruiting stars but that's a long way from the 14th overall pick in the draft.
  23. What's awesome about that play is if you go back and watch the game OSU ran that play to success earlier in the game. ET recognized it and jumped the route the second time they ran it.
  24. As this smart dude named @JBJ we got roaming around this place alluded to, PK likes to run a tite front in his stack concept which has certain rules that activate the Jack end into dropping. A smart offensive coordinator could trigger that by choosing plays that force that drop with certain alignments and thereby take some pressure off his QB. Easy way to take Simmons out of the game.
