Texas O-line talk


Coach pop a bitch

The down lineman almost always included Collins, Sorrell and Broughton together. The 4th lineman would be Moore/Simmons/Burke dependent upon situation. Sometimes Moore and Simmons would be in together, but that was only on obvious passing downs. This is excluding Norton who is a 0 and only used in short yardage

And a 4-2-5 can look like a 3-3-5 if it employs a weakside edge that drops into coverage, but it will get hammered by outside zone all day. FWIW I think a 3-4 that employs a bear front(2 DT at the ends and a NT over center) with hybrid backers at SAM and WIll, a standard MIKE and a combo LB/SS like Derwin James at the other ILB is the best possible scheme

This is exactly what we ran in HS. T-N-T with the outside backers on the LOS. The weakside backer being the most athletic that would have both pass rush and pass coverage duties. 2 inside backers. And a Sam that was pretty much 80% pass rush. Usually the biggest athletic guy. On our team it was Henry Melton.

If so, that GM will be assuredly fired within 3 years.

I never said it was a good idea, but he has the skillset to punish the 3-4 the Eagles are using to dominate and the 4-2-5 that's the base defense for 75% of the NFL

It's funny how everything seems to always come full circle. I grew up playing in the late 90s early 2000s. Right in the middle of i-form/single back shifting to spread run and gun stuff. If done well, I think a wing-t would still wreak havoc on a lot of defenses with today's athletes. Shocked nobody has done more with the option game like the great Nebraska teams.

Elite athletes would never go for it, priority uno is being developed for the NFL and dos is having their skils showcased. And when you think about it, it is kind of fucked up that someone like Tommy Frazier might have had NFL RB potential, but was never developed because and pushed into being option QB instead, which was a dead end post-college
