    This guy's film is nuts. Good news for us, now that he's committed he won't get the bump in ratings as everyone else catches wind of how good he is.
  2. Atticus
    I think Trey Moore is just as likely
  3. Atticus
    I laughed harder at this than I should have

    I dunno what it would look like, but they should partner with 3rd and longhorn and bring more of the player element to it. But consider jazzing it up to interest more than the diehards

    I think Thompson is more likely to return than Crawford at this point. Both are unlikely. You are also missing Mukuba at DB and Moore at LB. There will also be a TE and DL added in the portal. Potentially one more WR depending on who enters/leaves. I could also see another P coming.
  6. Atticus
    Unless it keeps him from running, why would that size be an issue at TE?
  7. Atticus
    Anyone have the PFF numbers on Washington's guys compared to ours?

    QB of the future. The interesting part of it is, what does this mean for Austin Novosad? Even more interesting is, he was actually committed to those guys as a HS recruit before UCLA snagged him late.

    He moves well enough for his size and he'll move better as he reshapes his body. He just needs to learn how to move his body well enough to be effective. Not many OL, D1 or not, are gonna be able to get back in position after getting caught flat footed on a stunt

    Taking his commitment this early while we have so much leverage in the recruiting market is a sign of just how highly this staff values Winston. He's not fast, but he's pretty explosive for his size. Looks like a capable blocker too. His hands are clearly special too.
  11. Atticus
    Which is why I added the bracketed part. You know some of them expected better based on their rating out of HS and the fact they are transferring from Texas. You're wrong. If they expected better or wanted to pursue a higher profile place, they wouldn't have committed so quickly.

    Nah, Hibbler was a take. Not easy to get those Mississippi guys if the instate schools want them. He seemed to shut things down for good after the in-home with the new staff.
  13. Atticus
    It's also Mukuba, not Makuba

    Worthy is a gamewrecker. If you don't account for him, the band is playing Texas Fight. Mitchell is more reliable actually catching the ball. He runs really fluid routes and sells his fakes really well. He's the best catcher on the team. Sanders can burn you a number of ways, even with a bad ankle. Whittington is probably our best receiver against zone coverage, and he's winning more consistently against man now. Blue may have some of the best hands on the team, and definitely the best in the RB room. Very fast and can run P5 WR level routes. Stop Worthy first, then hope Quinn doesn't see the other guys that are open.

    They are going to give our guys a ton of cushion. Worthy could have double digit receptions by the early second half if he's healthy. I think the deep over will be available as long as we can protect as well. I want to see how they defend our backs getting split out. I imagine they'll opt for pressure, but I could see a ton of success with the screen game from that. For as much as they motion as an offense, I found it interesting that they have had a hard time defending it on defense.

    I believe Oregon would have been favored against us. Maybe 3.5 pts or so.
  17. Atticus
    Not quite 🤘
  18. Atticus
    If you watch his film at all, you would know that he's very very fast. He was timed 2 years ago at 10.52, which is similar to Worthy's HS times. He's gotten bulkier since then, but most of his speed is still evident and will only remanifest as he continues to get used to his body.
  19. Atticus
    My big concern with Oregon would be Nix's playmaking outside of the pocket and his ability to break off chunks with scrambling. They run basic schemes on both offense and defense though, and we would match up pretty well outside of Nix. Penix can scramble a bit, but he isn't nearly as mobile. I preferred to face you guys because plays are generally on schedule and we do better against that.
  20. Atticus
    Apparently he's been silently committed since the in-home. These guys have earned their coffee. Coach em up Gideon.
  21. Atticus
    Big difference between last year and this year is that as a team, Texas' opponents were regularly running for more than 100 yards last year. This year, there are multiple games where opponents didn't go over 50. There were even 1-2 games where opponents ran for single digit yards all game. The run defense is much improved. Sweat gets most of the attention, but Murphy is just as dominant if not more disruptive. Collins can flash on any given play. Carter became more effective as the year went on too. Those guys will be fresher than they've been in a while.
  22. Atticus
    TCU and OU actually had success running the ball against us. But OU needed the QB run to do it. TCU took advantage of some bad substitutions and overzealousness on the edges to get their runs. It will be interesting to see how many snaps they give to Sweat and Murphy in this game. Carter and Collins should provide some solid backup snaps too. I would like to see Broughton getting most of his snaps at Jack in the playoffs. If you guys find success against the run, I imagine we'll get more aggressive with the calls. The theme of this recent Texas onslaught has been aggression and physicality.
  23. Atticus
    We also rotate safeties a lot, so guys stay fresh and have an opportunity to blend perspectives. They've also improved communication over the year
  24. Atticus
    Big time. Lots of pieces to move around at nickel and safety next year. Austin Jordan, Jaylon Guilbeau, Derek Williams, Jelani McDonald, Warren Roberson, Michael Taaffe, Xavier Filsaime, and Jordon Johnson-Rubell. Passing offenses won't be as electric next year either, so we should be more than solid next year if Gideon/Joseph do their job.
  25. Atticus
    Fully agree with this. We can and have shown ways to expose their weaknesses throughout the season. Their main win condition is for Penix to have a 2022 Arizona, 2023 Boise St, 2022-2023 Mich St. type game. Even then, Quinn could match him and they would have a very hard time. We also have the revenge factor, which can't be overlooked. We owe them for last year.
