    Yea, that’s where I’m at.  It’s really hard to justify the cost of one when the WSM seems to do the same thing for so much less. 

    I'd get the 22", just 'cos you might regret not having the space when you have a couple of more people over, or if you wanna cook a bit more comfortably. Then later on you can get another 22", or an 18" to accompany it for larger cooks if you want.

    But if Both Tacos is selling his Backyard for a good price and it's in decent condition, you'd maybe jump on that. You'll be using nearly the same amount of fuel in that as in a 22" WSM, but it'll cook a whole lot more, and more comfortably.

  2. Does anyone make a small insulated cabinet smoker or is a WSM the better way to go?  I want something that takes up less room on the patio than my offset and can cook for 3-4 people (a single brisket, or a rack of ribs or two, etc) that I don’t have to fight with to keep at temp.

    Just get a WSM. Unless you wanna spend 4x+ what a WSM costs, then you can look at Humphrey reverse flow cabinet smokers. They’re good.

    and Angilau not quite seeing the inside rusher soon enough. the outside rusher seemed like he was somewhat playing contain on Casey and wasn't crashing hard.

    Yah, agree. But I still think that goes along with it just being the right call. Angilau is looking inside and everyone is stuck in traffic, so once the end steps in he makes his decision, then sees the guy coming inside and hesitates before continuing to the end. Things probably go differently there if he chooses the inside guy, no doubt, just not sure if that was his responsibility, as he's probably blocking a zone, and does block the first person into that zone.

    not to start this again. I thought the error was with Okafor and Majors. Rice looks to be running a twist being run between the interior DL. Okafor picks up the slant. DL engages Majors and loops. At this point if Okafor passes the DL slanting to Majors, he is free to pick up the looping DL. Jones is slow to pick up the blitz, but I think that was the correct call. That is the only way can see to get a hat on a hat

    Okafor and Majors seem to play it correctly, simple down blocks that match up with Angilau's pull. Basically Angilau is pulling into the first hole past guard (Okafor) unless a defender comes off the edge outside of jones, in which Angilau goes to attempt to seal that (most likely?). Jones can come off and get the inside, Bijan can chip the end Jones comes off of. As it goes, Jones ends up crashing the blitzer inside and into Okafor. Had Okafor not been knocked off balance, and Jones blocking the blitzer inside, it's possible Okafor could have come off his guy to at least get a forearm on the looper to slow him down. Then obviously we see Brewer get worked.

    BUT, Casey is STILL able to step up, he just takes a half a second too long once he does. In live action he had four seconds before he got popped. I mean even if he's not seeing the play develop off that seam, the left side was clear and bijan would have been open for a check-down. Just the right defensive play called, with just a tick of hesitation on the QB.

    There isn’t even pressure if Christian Jones doesn’t get completely manhandled 

    100% offensive line 

    thats

    I've gone over this play a bajillion times, and though I think I can see a mix-up on the line,  I'd still say Casey had plenty of time, and the ball should have been out and not double-pumped.

    But going back to the OL part, it's hard to know sometimes. One thing I'm absolutely sure of is that Christian Jones was not manhandled. As the play develops, it becomes clear Jones intentionally comes off his man to picks up a blitzer (who looks to be blitzing run, but picks him up nonetheless). The guy blitzing comes up the gap Angilau is supposed to plug on his pull around that's helping to sell the PA. Once Jones shifts to that, Angilau continues down the line, appearing to focus on the guy Jones turned loose. Then the guy who hits Casey loops around from the right and Angilau is left with a choice. He should have probably grabbed the inside guy (who ends up hitting Casey), since his responsibility was inside to begin with. ORRRR, Jones should have never came off of his man, and let Angilau pick up the blitz, as he IS coming around. But it still doesn't solve the fella looping around from the right, and the fact is that guy is coming far too late. Ball could have been out, but also that defensive play was perfectly timed.

    It happened, coach it and get it right.

    He hasn’t been high on aggy for a long time, if ever. Assuming bama does what bama does that’s the safe pick. There’s only one way he ends up at Texas. If I had to wager I’d bet we are too late. Best news for us is if he delays his commitment. 

    I may have overstated it a bit. I do believe a lot of us have known of a Harris/A&M flirtation, and have had our su$picions about what wa$ really going on over there, enough so to be nervous about it.

    Again, though, point taken.

    Not a huge fan of this stance he keeps staying on, same answer for Arkansas. I get what he’s saying but I don’t think it’s a bad thing to use a little bulletin board material as a way to get the team hyped up a bit.  let’s not treat OU like it’s any other week.   

    I can guarantee you that his public stance of not commenting on how much the opponent might hate them isn't why Arkansas got every inch off in their asses. They need to fix the actual reasons why before their new HC is on TV talking about how "they hate us hell yah we'll slap in on the board!"

    Works for some coaches and situations, doesn't for others.

    It will be very interesting to see how long Sark will stick with Thompson should our offense struggle against them, as it may well might considering the limitations of the line.  

    I think part of the reason you stick with Thompson is because of the line's inconsistency.

    All I know is this:
    When Casey Thompson willed himself in for the TD against 3-4 Arkansas defenders towards the end I thought “ok, that’s it. He should start.”

    That energy and grit and determination will spill over to the rest of the team. All he does is get points.

    My favorite play was when he didn't walk up to our center, who was blocking his guy fairly well, and allow his guy to step to the side and sack him.

    It was dumb. But once upon a time Jimmy Johnson wanted Steve Walsh to start over Troy Aikman. These guys aren’t rocket scientists. What’s more Important is that they recognize when they made a mistake.

    You also have to think, that Sark came in here without knowing these kids, and the only thing he had to judge them on was a little action against Colorado. Then he had were practices. Sometimes you get a guy who just isn't as good in practice. And on the other side, you have a guy who IS. Who does everything right. Who doesn't need to see it a second time. It takes time out under the actual lights to figure it out sometimes, when it's as close of a battle as this one appears to have been. That's okay. Just so that it's figured out.

    Yeah, Card played scared the whole game even before he wa s getting hit, and he scrambled outside the pocket way too often against 3 man rushed when he had plenty of time. Casey was so much more confident and decisive. That was the biggest difference and why Casey needs to start moving forward. 

    It's not even close. And when Casey DOES scramble, it's a decisive move. He just sees the field much better than Card right now.

    It’s not even an option at this point. They will have to. We will barely be able to fill out a 2 deep on OL at this point.

    In 2023/2024 season we will have in a best case scenario a couple of juniors in Majors, Karic, Tyler Johnson, Hayden Connor that have some action, and then guys for one year like Hookfin, maybe a Jaylen Garth if he’s ever healthy. 

    Hand and Herman really fucked us in those last 2 classes. 

    Logan Parr no bueno? Haven't heard much about him, or did I miss something?
