  1. Now we get the vaunted second half run defense to look forward to.
  2. Someone needs to explain to me the defensive alignment on 3rd and 2 where both safeties backpedal to cover the deep middle when Iowa State is playing both tight ends in a short yardage situation? Purdy’s suckiness bailed us out in that series but my goodness.

    TEXAS QB TALK

    Card may not be the guy but we have to find out in the next four games one way or the other.
  4. I don’t think anyone has any ideas that Card will suddenly turn this thing around. I think it’s just see if he *could* be the guy next year. We have seen that Thompson is not the guy.
  5. Why can’t Thompson set his feet and throw the ball? That’s two badly missed passes already from him.
  6. I wish this debate over who is more at fault for the poor season would just fucking die. The correct answer of who is to blame between our coaches, the QB play, the OL, the defense or the WR’s is all of the fucking above.
  7. How many words does it take to say: “We are in the final weeks of this recruiting cycle and A&M is a main competitor.” ?
  8. Wait, are you arguing that coaches have no control of the culture in the program? That it exists and the coach just has to live with it and has no authority or ability to change it? I just want to be clarify that is your position. Because I believe a good coach changes the culture and removes these problems from the team and does not simply lay down and accept them.
  9. The same two safeties who sit in the deep middle on every play. This time against a team snapping from inside the ten yard line. Yet somehow they still were not in the middle of the field to defend against a play coming right at them.
  10. If your players continually make non physical related mistakes, it’s on you to correct it or replace them.
  11. My absolute favorite play design from yesterday, and there were so many to choose from- was the reverse pass TD from inside the 20. As expected, despite only defending a short field, we use two safeties over the top. Because we all know the most important thing to defend in the red zone is the deep ball. Despite having two safeties parked in the middle, we somehow manage to allow a slow developing play to pass right into the middle of the end zone through the magic of misdirection. That play should not have worked even against a conventional defense. It worked even against a defense theoretically designed to prevent that from happening. At this point, our two safeties are rendered ineligible by play design and on a large percentage of plays we have 9 players on the field. It’s time to put four guys on the line, have them attack and play man defense across the board.
  12. He is the defensive coordinator version of Shawn Watson.
  13. It’s insanely obvious at this point. But would we actually do it? Aranda fired his OC after one year and hit a home run hiring Grimes. Do we have the courage to do what Baylor did?
  14. Basil Hayden Rye on a big cube. Multiple pours. And watching whatever awful horror movie my wife picks out is how I’m coping with the reality of Texas football.
  15. We are going to have to sell something to the 2023 recruits and the fans. At minimum, I think you fire the S&C and several position coaches. Then you try to raid the portal in a desperate attempt to turn things around. Then you hire a veteran former DC as a positional coach so you can fire PK early in the 2022 season if things are not dramatically improved. Other than that, I am out of ideas.
  16. I hope recruits stop watching these games after the third quarter. If we cannot fool a few Arch Manning’s in coming here here immediately I think we are just waiting out the clock on Sark. Or maybe we get lucky and he goes down in coke and alcohol fueled ball of flames.
  17. We are the worst fourth quarter team in the country. Defensive meltdown on tap now.
  18. If today is going to be our Ides of March, at least the game starts at 10 so the execution can be quick. It’s always possible that our coaches are going to be able to make adjustments (hahahahahahaha) but I’m already prepared for defensive alignment fuckery and a second half Casey Thompson and offensive line collapse.
