  1. You keep saying this and I don’t get why exactly. I guess you are talking about Okafor, Tope, and Brewer but our success doesn’t really hinge on the light coming on for any of those guys, let alone all three. Okafor and Tope are just 2 of the 8 guys we have fighting for playing time on the line (and Tope is unlikely to even start) As mentioned at least Okafor is finally playing the correct position. Brewer is fine even if athletically he’s never been the same after getting injured early in his career. He can be useful if he’s put in positions that play to his strengths and we have a lot of younger, more athletic guys at TE to do the things he can’t do. Plenty to worry about, but our offense relying on 6 year JAGs in order to be any good just isn’t really one of them.
  2. Maybe if we’re lucky he’ll grow into an OT
  3. Forget it NoName, it’s the Football Board
  4. Fuck yeah. Cool to get Brady too
  5. Well, the bad news is our offense/qbs suck. The good news is our new head coach has an acceptable standard of play.
  6. Hmmm, the JUGS machine thread is pretty cool I guess?
  7. Yeah, the handwringing about Money is basically complaining that we are letting him participate in drills. We should probably not fret about the offense being designed around him quite yet.
  8. Yeah, bullshit. You started by responding to that and then proceeded to take shots at how mediocre he is at football and how anyone who thinks otherwise is a homer idiot. What happened was you got the bat signal that people were being positive about him and needed to swoop in and “well, actually” the shit like you always do when someone mentions him. That’s fine, it’s a message board. But don’t get confused, you are the one that interrupted a conversation of fans that were excited that Sam had earned first team reps to push your Sam is over-rated narrative yet again.
  9. You don’t really like Sam as a player, you are all over this site saying as much. That’s fine, he certainly has flaws but you are the one letting the emotion of his time here cloud your logic. It’s a pretty dumb hill to die to say nobody except Texas and Westlake homers see any possibly that he could be an NFL quarterback when: 1. he was drafted by an NFL team 2. Beat reporters that have nothing to do with Texas have reported how well he’s playing not even half-way through his first NFL camp 3. The Colts lost their starter due to injury, have said they are comfortable rolling with the qbs on their roster until he returns, and now are giving him first team reps because he’s looked like the best qb left in camp. He has a real shot to start week 1 for an NFL team None of that means he’ll ever be a regular starter in the league but it absolutely means people outside of UT message boards see him as intriguing enough to give a chance.
  10. Lies. Doc is awesome. He’s sort of a dope. He was showing his ass on Twitter yesterday because in a largely positive segment about Sam, Mina Kimes called him “Not an incredible athlete” and he took exception. She actually responded and after a ton of very dumb back and forth with Twitter eggs he said that sure, Sam isn’t an elite NFL athlete but he’s fairly athletic. Which was her entire point in the first place.
  11. Surprise me then. Show me the news stories of liberal governors passing mandates that school districts can only be virtual. Show me the school board meeting videos of the teacher’s unions and little Johnny’s parents being escorted out because they are disrupting the entire meetings to yell about closing the schools.
  12. Do you seriously think there is a side that is looking for an "out" to keep kids at home and not back for in-person schools? Almost every parent is desperate to get their kids back in school if at all safely possible.
  13. He wasn't cut, he just ran out of paychecks.
  14. This. If we can bait that fuck-stick into calling us "classless" for daring to throw a touchdown pass with a double-digit fourth quarter lead, that would make for a nice little Saturday all around.
  15. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSZO3TWHvOU/?utm_medium=copy_link Is Davis practicing?
  16. Alright men, qbs and rbs with coach Drayton, ball security drills today. WRs with me, we’re drilling strategically advocating for yourself while always remaining respectful. Let’s get better today, Horns on three!
  17. Are you asking if we are doing “whine about a flag to the ref” drills?
  18. Wow. I was pretty bullish that he would carve out a place in the league but no way did I expect he’d be able to play his way into an actual qb competition for a starting spot before his first preseason game. He got drafted into a good situation (Eason sucks) and the injury to Wentz changed things, but still. Good for him, would be incredible to see him win the job until Wentz returns.
  19. Yeah, hard pressed to find a better position group that is setup for this season and into the future than Rb right now. Also, props to RoJo for working his ass off. Dude gives a shit.
  20. Evan Stewart is gone unless we somehow start SEC play for '22. Not sure anything less than making the playoffs this season will entice him into one or (gasps and throws up a little) two seasons in the Big12 before making the jump. I know the last few months has made it feel like we’ll never land another elite player but in theory we were right in the mix for him before he knew there might be a chance to play for UT in the SEC. And technically got him to commit to Texas when we were seemingly committed to the Big12 for the long haul.
  21. You stupid lemmings. Sure, listen to the “botanists” that say plants need water. Imma think for myself, only one thing I give my plants:
  22. Like a lot of you, I’m just tired and feeling hopeless about all of it. Lamar Jackson has gotten COVID twice, but still just isn’t sure if he should get the vaccine, he really needs to do the research and consider both sides. On one side he has access to some of the best doctors in the country who are almost certainly telling him to get vaccinated based on all available peer reviewed evidence and their collective expertise. On the other, some loud friends and family and Reddit conspiracies without any factual basis. Tough, but what’s important is we don’t judge him as he makes this difficult personal choice.
  23. Yeah this is basically what I'm thinking. The SAM (Ovie or Davis) would primarily be coming off the edge or stunting in this look, correct? He'll rarely be asked to carry a TE down the seam or drop back into a zone and cover slot guys.
