Texas O-line talk

[pacman 7355]

I assume Cam will leave after a good year, unless he wants to put tape at left tackle in college.

[Jkwellborn 6697]

I thought it was a bad call. The hands are inside and it doesn't look like he pulled the jersey.  It looks like Cam just has really long arms so he was able to maintain contact and push the guy over with strength. 

I thought it was a ticky tack call. Looked like it was technically holding but damn.

if he’s good he doesn’t need to.  RT in college get drafted to play LT. 

[Nope 3114]

He isn’t talked about often, but how many reps has DJ Campbell lost going back to the start of last season? I don’t think you’d need two hands to count them.

It didn't even "technically" look like holding. 

 

Look at ref cam view...he doesn't even grab his jersey or anything. He just shoves the dude to the fucking ground.

Lesson: if your arms are going to be all the way out like that, discontinue contact to make it harder to get called for holding.

Not even a good lesson given what is on film. He did no grabbing or pulling of that player. He shoved him down....don't teach lessons on dog shit calls.

Texas should continue to work on their running game next two weeks.   Great opportunity to work on OL depth and get more reps.

I like the thought but with what RB? Niblett/grad xfer?

Texas should get up big and let the walk on RBs/baseball running back guy/Nibblett feast the next two weeks while limiting Blue/Wisner/Gibson as much as possible.

What are the thoughts on this call? Seems likely Cam has his jersey but hands seem inside the pads.

I know we have waited in vain for years to have worse holding than this called against OU..

It was bullshit, Michigan did the same thing on literally every play on their final drive for a TD.

We are gonna have to agree to disagree. The defender wasn’t getting away from him and his jersey looked like it was getting stretched and preventing him from going to his left.

Are you fucking blind you dumb mother fucker? Show me on the ref view where his jersey was getting pulled....show me....give me definitive proof? No view I've seen a replay show any stretch and prevention of getting away. He got off balance and pushed down....gtfo here you stupid ass bitch.

[pacman 7355]

[bluto 4923]

So we have two sec OL of the week winners and neither are the top 10 draft pick OT. Sounds good.

You need to take some ludes. Get out of your damn feelings. Watch the Twitter video without burnt orange glasses.

Even though Banks fell down in this play he does that a lot too.

[Magabro 171]

 

I think I watched that like ten times. He threw that lineman into his teammate lol

[Hornstrader 179]

 As much shit as we have given Majors and Connor in their careers, they were both really good against UM. Both of the UM DTs have been projected 1st round picks in early mocks. Both were complete non-factors on Saturday.

Connor was also the 1st 1 into the mix after the late hit on Quinn

[BrickTop 477]

 

This is just perfect, textbook blocking for a lineman, beautiful to watch.

This is from last year, I called it a cockblock stat, not that it will ever catch on.

I don’t think there’s even a close second. If he and Majors get anywhere near their UM level of play consistently this season, we are a completely different team than what was expected heading into the season.

When he’s good, he’s really good. But, he whiffs and misses assignments in pass pro too often. 
He would benefit from another year, but I don’t think that’s what he has in mind.

I’m a Cam Williams fan.

Daniel Jeremiah, ESPN NFL draft analyst, talked about Williams yesterday.

It’s nice, yet unsurprising, that Williams is starting to turn heads. We talked about that possibility a lot heading into the season. Despite several false start penalties early this year, Williams has otherwise been dominant.

But what I want to share this morning about Williams is a story I don’t think I’ve ever told publicly.

I was not there for this, but a good friend of mine was. So here goes…

As a member of the Pancake Factory in its inaugural year, Williams and his fellow offensive linemen went to the Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin as part of their service work in just the second month of the Texas One Fund-sponsored program.

Williams was one of the players who really took a shine to several kids. And they took a shine to him. You know how it goes, some guys are just naturals in those situations.

Williams was this gentle giant who was also very nice and playful with them, handing out teddy bears and just hanging out.

One of the kids also liked Williams’ brand new silver or gold chain. The kid played with it and played with it.

Without the kid asking and just before leaving, Williams took the chain off his own neck and gave it to the young patient.

Now, I don’t want to go over the top here, but Cam did not grow up with an inordinate amount of money.

He showed something that day, a selflessness, generosity and kindness, that goes much deeper than what he does on a football field ever will.

And for that reason, more than anything he ever accomplishes in sport, I’ll always be a Cam Williams fan.

i will kick in an extra $100 a week if we can start doing some drills in practice for holding one's water pre-snap for cam. he is making up for it in his blocking for the most part but i think the offense could be a bit more efficient with 78 fewer false start penalties.

[LTtxfan 49181]

OTF:  In the ULM game, "Texas offensive line was 'a little leaky' in the blowout win"

[LTtxfan 49181]

 

[GabrielsHorn 2183]

Hutson has been in the past few drives, and he really has been disappointing. Had the hold, but he’s been especially poor on run blocking. Is there a reason why he’s getting this much play?

[msucolt45 4059]

OL isn’t being physical and losing the LOS, so far, through the 1st half.

Need some “soul searching” during HT!

Hook’em!!!

[msucolt45 4059]

Less than 10 min TOP in the first, means we aren’t moving anyone off the LOS.

Hook’em!!!

Refs called this holding.

[LTtxfan 49181]

Sark made a comment that a holding penalty called on Gunnar vs Miss St seemed like he was just finishing his block -- unfortunately the ref saw it differently.

I think that was the play they called holding on #56, Cam Williams. Also a ticky tack call
