  1. Yes, but I imagine he has never played in a game that hasn’t seemed easy to him. That doesn’t exactly make practice seem super serious to a young kid.
  2. My guess is ewers practice habits suck bc he’s had too much practice time and not enough game time . Putting him in live fire situations will turn up the practice intensity. Talent comes is more important than practice intensity I think. Let the talent see first hand why practice matters by getting crushed by bama.
  3. The spring game showed it as well as anything we’ve seen, the arm talent jumps off the screen when ewers is in. What he needs is experience and practice reps. Hudson has experience and practice reps, and has a lot of talent himself, but he doesn’t stand tall in the face of pass rush, he too quickly resorts to a dump off pass/scramble. It’s ewers and we’re gonna have to take the lumps that come with zero experience. And we need card bc we have nothing behind him. So the situation needed to be handled carefully, which it was.
  4. From what I can see on the highlights…there is a certain type of development that ewers will only get from being in actual competition at this level. He needs to be at that speed. We’ll see if he really is a gamer, but I think some competition will bring out what he’s got in a way practice just can’t.
  5. If this is the expected outcome of naming card to start the season, because you can’t just give the qb job to the newcomer, then it is a retarded strategy bc it means ewers missed tons of reps and opportunities to be at his peak for the season. You pick your best player and you focus on him. I sure hope our coaches aren’t looking at bama as being lost already. We need a little dog in em.
  6. This is like last year but with the arky game, except if Casey had started we prob would have won.
  7. Fuck. Future man is saying card sucks and ewers is good? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. We’re screwed. Our best oline prob isn’t the 1st team oline. It takes a process to get there I guess…
  8. That way ewers misses all the valuable camp reps with the 1s. So did I skim the reports right that card looked as good with the 1s as ewers did with the 2s in the scrimmage? Ewers problems need reps to fix, cards problems need a time machine.
  9. My recollection is Casey looked good until he hurt his thumb against ou in the 3rd qtr then after that he was struggling to throw for quite awhile
  10. Card panics and he doesn’t trust himself to stand tall and make the throw so he falls back on the good ol’ trusty scramble-your-way-out option. This is what a lot of people who excel in hs bc they are athletic do bc they never had to learn to depend on the vision/read/throw to be there when shit goes wrong. People who excel because of their arms and aren’t as athletic are forced to figure out how to handle panic with their arms. We don’t want a panicking scrambler qb. We want someone who can beat the opponent with their arm. You can see it in the spring game, card bails when he feels pass rush and it is almost always bad, ewers stands tall and makes throws down field. All ewers needs to do is learn the check down, play check type shit. The hard part is there naturally for him. He’s a gambler, he trusts himself, he stays calm, he’s accurate down field.
  11. So our best 5 OL might be banks,hutson, C, Campbell, Williams. 4 fucking freshman plus the best non-freshman at center? God damned that means either the freshmen are just that insanely good, or the rest of our roster sucks that much. Given our record the last couple of seasons, I’m not comfortable betting against the roster sucking. Teams full of great players win, given we haven’t been winning the probability of having had great players isn’t looking good. Bayes in the house…
  12. Then help me out, I’m dope and I do dope shit
  13. Longhorn groups and bourbon groups. There are circles of people that have dope access. The move is to be in those circles. Gotta figure that out
  14. I definitely disagree that scheme couldn’t have helped. We played a scheme that didn’t fit the players and doesn’t fit who we’re recruiting. Remember when Greg Robinson came in mid season and made something out of the _iaz shitshow? We just needed not bad last year and we could have been 8-5
  15. QE’s talent vs card looked clear in the spring game and Card’s only advantage, reportedly, is he’s had an extra year of reps. It seems like this game of splitting reps is only slowing QEs progression and maybe it’s to keep card from transferring, but I wish they’d just put everything into QE development.
  16. Card still looked like he panics and resorts to his feet a lot. QE didn’t seem to panic, trusted his throwing game, the ball jumped out of his hands. But he didn’t look like he knew what her was doing all the time.
  17. Our complete lack of lb recruiting is what made hall so important...
  18. Hill is a good player and a big loss. Aggy has a lot of great talent on defense coming together and that is a legitimate rationale for a guy like him. Plus they were desperate for the win which undoubtably showed up as suggested. We should keep open eyes about any defensive prospects right now, all we have is a vision we can sell, pk or Patterson need to make some tape that we can sell during the season. It’s shaping up like a #1 offense vs #1 defense type of battle when we meet on the field again.
  19. Stuff like this is true until it’s not. Every year is a new team even if it has the same players. These things are easy I-told-you-so statements, if you are wrong it means the team did well and hooray, if you are right it means you were nails before the season started.
  20. Has anyone complained yet about the senselessness of splitting Tyler smiths rookie reps between guard and tackle? My belief is that rookie oline expecting to start need every rep they can get in their role with the other starters to develop the synergies that oline play depends on. Splitting his reps means he got half the practice that he should have all because the coaches won’t make up their mind on what he will play for this season. Zach Martin could split reps at tackle without missing a beat in his role, but Tyler probably needs to focus on one thing and get good at it.
  21. The basement of the place was a great place to park and study. I liked it.
  22. If his scheme is a way of maximizing lower tier talent, then it might not be a fit for what we’re trying to do here.
  23. If you can’t get elite pass rushers then you get end setters and fast guys behind them or run a 3-4 or some other scheme way to to generate disruption. If you can get elite pass rushers you do it because getting pressure with fewer people is a huge advantage. Gettin pass rush and generating penalties and play disruption is hugely valuable.
  24. For sark or pk? If it’s for pk, then it should be done already.
  25. The idea of ends holding the edge and others cleaning up the play sounds disastrous. I don’t think we have the linebackers for it, and I don’t blame pass rushers for being uninterested in the job. Feels like a situation where the coach and his system is rigid and isn’t optimized to the personnel which is almost always a mistake. Players are hard to get and pipeline talent is everything. Schemes and coaches can be changed a lot more easily. *Patterson to line 1 please….
