  1. I won’t be disappointed. I do not think they are a terrible play, but they are more dependent on WR skill and require a high level of chemistry. Personally, I would rather see more “pick” plays in the end zone
  2. Little hyperbole on my part, but when people say he knows defense and how to evaluate defensive players it certainly implies that he is good defensive coach. I am pointing out that belief is based on nothing factual. South Carolina has had 50 players drafted since 2000. Lot of talent in that area. It is kind of what separates the SEC from a conferences like the Big 12. Even teams in the bottom half of the league produce NFL players.
  3. To be a defensive master mind, you should probably be a defensive coordinator at least once in your life. Maybe that is just my ridiculous high standards. 2011–2015 Virginia Tech (AHC/RB) 2016–2017 Georgia (TE/ST) 2018–2020 Oklahoma (AHC/TE) 2021–present South Carolina
  4. Funny. South Carolina has finished 4th, 12th, and 10th in SEC defense under Beamer that last 3 years.
  5. always do. Just one of those school that always has a few NFL guys, usually on the defensive side. South Carolina is top in NFL players per capita Georgia, Louisiana, Bama, Mississippi, Florida, Utah (that surprised me), Maryland, South Carolina, Texas, and North Carolina are the top 10. If you are big school in these states, you are going to produce NFL talent.
  6. I am not sure this Beamer has the same eye for talent his dad had, especially when dad had Bud Foster at his side.
  7. I saw his comments after the visit. He mentioned Austin at least 3 times. Said something like "the campus is not in the middle of nowhere". I took that as a very positive sign, based on his other OVs. That is good feeling is based on a teenager not changing his mind over the next 6 months, so take it with a grain of salt.
  8. Raiders 2025 NFL Draft: Quinn Ewers’ film breakdown - Silver And Black Pride He was good on short throws. He is great on screens. His throws on swing routes to RB are pretty amazing, typically hits them in stride and on that front shoulder. He did not have a good year hitting the intermediate throws (52%). Wish I could find last years, because that was an area I thought he excelled at in 2023. Sub 10 yards 222/294 or 75.5%..
  9. Totally agree. So much projection involved at OL. Can they remain athletic and put on the 30+ pounds or in Brian ONeill's case almost 70 pounds (Pro Bowl LT from Minn out of Pitt). Will they grow into that massive frame. Etc There is nothing more annoying in the recruiting chat than the "he is a guard, not a tackle" comments. Texas has had a pretty solid run at LT with Connor Williams, Sam Cosmi, and Banks. Williams and Cosmi were great in college and end up being kicked inside in the NFL. There is talk that the same will happen to Banks. Despite the evidence in front of Texas fans eyes, they will pretend that an NFL guard cannot play Tackle in college.
  10. Sam Roseborough Jr Szn Highlights - Samuel Roseborough highlights - Hudl I am not sure why you say that other than he is not 6'6". This kid can move. If he gets to 315 and keeps that athleticism, there is no reason he can not play Tackle. He may get the same NFL draft treatment as Kelvin Banks due to his height, but that does not concern me about being a potential high end tackle in college.
  11. He was. His starts were pretty rough at the combine. Would it surprise anyone if Bond didn’t take combine prep seriously?
  12. Its not really close. FEI rankings 2024: 3rd DFEI, 18th OFEI 2023: 6th DFEI, 19th OFEI 2022: 8th DFEI, 17th OFEI 2021: 27th DFEI, 35th OFEI The defensive improvement has been consistent. The offense has under-performed the last few years and been stagnant. Defense is what is driving the improvement. Like to see Sark get his 1st top 10 offense at Texas. Hard to ask the defense to do much more.
  13. either way he is one big corn fed SOB
  14. we saw some burst, but in the short game. Bond turning the corner on a screen was a crazy moment. You saw his speed. Not to mention you could see on the breaks. It wasnt the typical deep ball, but even in this limited version of Sark's offense his game plan was to get them in space and let them work
  15. I think it is positive fro the future. More that he is probably showing above expected mobility and has the ability to play OT. Have to wait a couple weeks on the actual blocking ability.
  16. I am going to wait to get excited on LOS guys until at least 1 full contact practice. I like the news, but I can not get too excited until there is some actual blocking and tackling going on.
  17. either way he still has short arms. The 3/8 on an inch isnt going to change the talking points.
  18. I am guessing Blue did not do enough events to be scored. I think he only did the 40. I dont even know where the Jada comment comes from, but I'll assume you believe it to be relevant. I posted the RAS scores to show that this is seriously deep and athletic RB group.

  20. I dont know the Pro Day 40 times. Those are usually faster than the combine. I know Omarian Hampton put on an absolute show at 6' and 221 pounds 2 other guys were sub 4.4.
  21. I expect some growing pains. That probably applies to multiple areas of the team. My biggest fear is dropping a game early as the team is finding itself. The turnover thing is interesting. Normally it would be ridiculous to think a 1st time starter would have less turnovers than a 3 year starter in his last year, but Quinn had 17 in 14 games. He also had some really costly turnovers. I can see Arch having more of the 40 yards downfield type interceptions, which are not as costly. Not sure the defense will be strength. I expect so reversion from them. I still think it is a good group, but I doubt they are in the argument for the best defense in the nation like last year. Would be nice to see Sark have his 1st top 10 offense at Texas, which I think is possible.
  22. Roschon didnt get benched and he played with Bijan. There is huge difference between losing your job and carries to Wisner compared to Bijan. Not to mention Rojo didnt go in the top 3 rounds and he was a special teams asset.
  23. I get that, but he wasnt even a starter for Texas. Possible someone falls in love with the speed, but top 3 rounds seems crazy given the film.
  24. Blue was more of a specialty player. He is going to get drafted due to his singular elite trait, his speed. He had drops and fumble issues, especially early. He did not have great contact balance or vision, both of which I believe are far more important than pure speed. They are even bigger vs quality defenses, because you dont get those big creases. These games are where the ability to make 1-2 extra yards consistently can keep an offense on schedule. I am on record saying I hope to see star emerge in the Backfield. I have seen more solid than star from the current RBs. I think the 25 offense will be more of a between the tackles run game. Quick feet, vision, and contact balance are the diving traits in that scenario. I do think there is enough speed in the RB room to beat LBs in the pass game.
  25. If that happened this would be a boring site and 80% of the traffic would disappear overnight. It does seem like you found Jesus recently or should I say Jesus Manning, because I believe there is thread here that you questioned the the staff on a daily basis during the season.
