  1. Brown could move a bit earlier in his career. He had 168 tackles, 30 TFLs, and 7.5 sacks at Kansas. Sweat has 5 sacks in 5 years at Texas with 17 tfls.. He is great, but he is not going to be a pass rush guy. He is going to anchor a defense vs the run and a push the pocket in the pass game.
  2. I wouldnt get to excited about this list. It will change by Friday.
  3. I know. Texas has given up 625 yards passing on 68 attempts for 9.2 yards per the last 2 weeks. I am just preparing myself for tighter game than necessary
  4. Before the KSU game, I said if Texas controls the KSU run game it will be an easy win.. 30 pts later and a goal line stand in OT, I no longer take that for granted. I still think Texas wins, but they will force me into having 1-2 extra drinks than necessary
  5. At this point I just write down 300 yards passing for the opponent, so any double digit spread seems suspect.
  6. Texas plays Thompson, Taafe, Crawford, Williams, and Catalon at safety. CB we see Brooks, Watts, Holmes, and Muhammad. In any given game Texas is rotating 8 or more players. Depth isnt the issue. Talent at safety is an issue. Speed overall is an issue. That reminds me, anyone heard anything on Catalon?
  7. Tyler Owens is out also. He was top 5 in tackles prior to the injury..
  8. Texas doesnt lack depth in the secondary. I think many would argue that Texas plays too many people in the secondary. Though it seemed like Crawford's time was significantly reduced in the ISU game, which is a good thing. Speed is different issue.
  9. Ewers 4Q stats: 35-40, 516 yards, 5 TDs , 0 ints, and a 273.11 QB rating
  10. OU definitely. Bama is questionable. They don’t really make major changes to what they do. It’s one the perks to having 8-9 NFL players every year. Just because the OL struggled doesn’t mean that was the focus of the defense.. Texas played Bama in the NC and generally saw light boxes and could not run the ball. KSU was definitely different. They ran press early, because Ewers was out. They don’t run that with Ewers in
  11. I don’t have an issue with that. Worthy definitely gets his share of bracket coverage. The passing game is the driver in this seasons offense, so Worthy or Quinn works. People want to discredit Quinn, because there is talent on the team. It’s like saying Joe Montana sucks, because Jerry Rice bailed his ass out. 99% of QBs need talent around them to succeed
  12. I was actually watching some of that game, when this broke out. Kind of funny to watch Tommy DeVito and see people say Quinn can’t play in the NFL
  13. He threw the TD pass to Worthy on 4th down to take the lead. Didn’t say he lead that drive, but that was a clutch finish. Quinn is responsible for the most integral part of the Texas offense this year, the pass game. So he gets a lot of credit. Based on your comments describing the Bama game, where Quinn threw for over 9 yards an attempt and the running game went for 2.8, we are just not going to see eye to eye on this
  14. ISU last year to Worthy. Could have been OU, but Sark stopped throwing the ball. He is top 3 in the nation in 4Q QBR . He did carry Texas vs Bama. The passing game is the focus of every defense Texas faces, so I am not sure I understand the criticism he doesn’t carry the team.
  15. I think numbers speak for themselves. I am not saying he is a finished product, but most of your criticisms are based on 2022 and the vast minority of 2023. If a guy is just throwing 50/50 lobs off his back foot, than explain his 70% completion
  16. Texas runs 18 yard stop routes and 15-20 yard outs. There are NFL QBs that struggle with that. Quinn does struggle deep at times, but I saw someone pt out that his worst throw is deep to his right. Been solid deep left and middle. Every QB will have a throw that he isn’t great at.
  17. He is competing 70% of his passes for 9 yards an attempt with a 4-1 TD to int ratio. That is kind of good. He also top 3 in the country in 4Q QBR. That throw to Mitchell in the back of the endzone will make his draft highlight film. Great throw to Sanders, when flushed. Does he have moments where he doesn’t look great? Of course, same with every player in the country. He also has shown the ability to bounce back from that, which is huge. Sit back and enjoy the ride
  18. It’s about situational awareness. When outside WR aligns on the hash, you can align outside. Inside the numbers, you can align outside. When WRs are outside the numbers, you don’t align outside. Your help inside is now farther away. Aligning outside only takes away a small window throw, that you want the QB to attempt. We all understand that there are exceptions like cover 2. That said you can’t be a slave to the blackboard. You have to ask yourself, why is the WR aligning wider than normal? Offenses generally have tells. Spread people out to attack the middle of the field. Use compressed formations to attack the outside.
  19. I didn’t say it killed Texas vs ISU, but Babers said opposing offenses are completing over 70% (think it was close to 80%) on in breaking routes on the season coming into ISU game. You think there is correlation there? Kelson and Babers were talking about this on the post game show. Babers actually said he thinks that might be what the coaches are teaching. Then him and Kelson juxtaposed that with how Akina taught leverage. I am not saying there are 0 situations to play outside leverage, but they are in the vast minority
  20. That is just bad football IQ. The football field is 53.3 yards wide. Aligning outside shade on a WR that is outside the numbers takes away the really hard throw in that 5-6 yards between the numbers and the sideline and makes you vulnerable to the easy throw in the other 47.3-48.3 yards of the field. Akina would have a heart attack watching that
  21. Never going to be perfect. There will always be a couple bad calls. Oddly the opening script was terrible. Once Sark went through that, he was great
  22. People have criticized Quinn for his lack of emotion, but it is really one of his greatest attributes. He wasn’t very good in the 1, though neither was Sark’s script (I have noticed Quinn locks on more during the script). He was straight bad vs OU in the 1Q. He rallied to look excellent in the 2nd half of both games. Texas is a 10 win team and the offensive success is centered around the passing game, yet people are constantly bitching. Think about the difference from last year to this year. The 2022 team saw every defense loading the box and daring Quinn to beat them. This year every team plays the pass and gives Texas honest numbers in the run game. Quinn is the MVP of this offense
  23. This.. Baxter ran in a gap scheme in HS. You have give Sark credit for tweaking the run game. Saw more gap schemes last night, GT Counter was a killer all game.
