I didn’t notice this until much later but the “Certified Bad Ass” is so appropriate I had to make note of it. Though it makes me feel like a pussy. Fuck me.

The non-coaching staff's attention to detail is fucking phenomenal.

What happened to the other 14? Could BL's successor just no longer countenance the inane bullshit that that thread had morphed into? If that's the case, count me definitely on his side.  

It disappeared because you touch yourself.

Hedley Lamar: Qualifications?

Bad Man: Rape, Murder, Arson, and rape.

Hedley Lamar: You said "rape" twice.

Bad Man: I like rape. 

Taggart: He'll do!

Hedley Lamar: Charming. Sign right here. (He should have said, "Charming. Sign your Baylor LOI right here.")

IT practice notes (not much, the media window was very brief)

 

New

This was definitely the briefest practice window in Tom Herman's two springs, spanning only 2.5 periods or 12 minutes 30 seconds

People in green "no-touch" jerseys included Toneil Carter, Phillipp Moeller, and Chris Nelson. I believe Josh Thompson was in one as well based off of the process of elimination looking at the safety group, but there wasn't a 29 on his no-touch jersey.

With the limited amount of time, I decided to watch the offense run against air.

QB/RB: Ehlinger, Carter
TE: Beck
XWR: Johnson
Slot: Heard
ZWR: Duvernay
OL: Okafor - Vahe - Shackelford - Rodriguez - Kerstetter

Ehlinger completed one pass deep to Duvernay and overthrew Johnson on a fake-screen wheel route. 

Buechele then rotated in with the ones, bringing Humphrey, Leitao and Burt in with him for Johnson, Heard and Duvernay to create a two tight end set. 

At one point, Denzel Okafor moved over to RT but I couldn't see the rest of the OL for that play.

When the first group subbed off, Cameron Rising lead the next unit onto the field.
QB/RB: Rising/Young
TE: Leitao
XWR: Eagles
Slot: Moeller 
ZWR: Curtis
OL: Cosmi - Rison (w/o) - Rodriguez - Imade - Urquidez

Casey Thompson rotated in with that group, throwing a good rollout pass to Curtis.

After that, Texas went into basic individual drills before asking media to leave.

Todd Orlando and Tim Beck are available today, and quotes will be up tonight.

Todd Orlando post-practice notes - 4/5/2018 - http://www.insidetexas.com/forums/threads/todd-orlando-post-practice-quotes-4-5-18.80687/

On how the defense has looked: Good. Competitive. It's give and take, which is a really good sign of a good team. Running around. I think the physicality is there on both sides. I think the effort is great. It's not been an issue throughout the first eight days. It's been impressive and I think just like Herm will end up telling you, when you start to see each side making plays I think that's a really healthy sign.

On how he can replace Jefferson, Elliott, and other NFL guys, and if he feels he has guys that can: Anytime you lose pros, they're losses. Other guys have to develop. We're at Texas and we should do a good job recruiting. There's some backups that actually played toward the tail end of the year. Guys that we trust and guys that know our package. To be seen, because those guys had played a lot of football. That's the one thing that you always lose, that experience part. Athletically, I think we'll be in the ballpark to be able to replace those guys.

On linebacker: We've been throwing a couple guys in and out of there. Malcolm (Roach) is a guy. Jeff (McCulloch) is a guy. We've been twisting up the lineup. Demarco Boyd has done a really nice job for us, too. We'll wait on those guys to get healthy. I think (Ayodele Adeoye) is another guy that we've got to get ready for the Maryland game. A work in progress right now. Obviously, it's an opportunity to develop some other guys for the future.

On the install this spring as compared to last spring: I think at some point you have to be able to play some base defense. Any time you're going into a new year, especially in the beginning of camps, we did the same thing last year. We were "okay, this is what we want to see." Base defense for us is great. Then we have an opportunity to run later on some of the stuff that we normally do. I like it because at the end of the day if you're throwing guys at people and it's not successful, you're going to have to play some base defense. It gives us an opportunity to do it.

On if he felt slowed down at all this spring in the install: No. Never.

On what the hunger from this year's defense from guys trying to fill spots: It's been good. I think going into the bowl game there was a lot of questions about the same guys that weren't going to play. To have those guys already be in the bowl game, have some success, then roll that into winter conditioning, I think there is some ownership. Guys like Anthony Wheeler, Charles (Omenihu), Breckyn (Hager), those guys. Once you get some of the established guys out, I think there is "okay, this is our unit right now." They've stepped up. They've done a really good job. Some of the younger guys, I think they're embracing... They look around. DeShon (Elliott) is not around in the back end. Holton (Hill) is not around. Malik (Jefferson) is not around. "Let's go pick this up and play at the level that they did."

On having an experienced defense: It's good. These guys know a lot of football. They're guys that we now can lean toward. I think last year, and I think this is collectively as a program, there's a lot of new stuff. The culture is different. They're not accustomed to it. We saw in winter conditioning where a lot of guys have completely bought in. When you see them out there, it's almost that they can develop and can show a little bit more of their personality. When you get that, there's ownership to it. Like you said before, I think some of these guys have had enough. It's time. It's our moment. We're seniors here. Let's turn the corner in this program

On Malcolm Roach: He's instinctive. He's just a playmaker. He's got really good vision. Probably best not to screw him up to be honest with you. I'm very thoughtful of when moving around in different spots, how much and how hard I coach him. We can teach him. He's been doing a really good job. He's a ballplayer.

On Chris Nelson: Chris is working his tail off in rehab. We'll see how this continues to go. With those veteran guys, especially a guy like that who has a lot of reps, looking forward to him when we get to fall camp.

On depth at DT and on the DL: I think (Ta'Quon Graham) is doing a really good job. I've been really impressed with him. Sometimes you look the part and have great strength numbers then you don't go out there and play the part. I think he's been playing the part. That's a guy I'm really fired up about. Christmas-Giles I think is doing a really good job. Some of the other guys without going into too much names. It's like I said, some of those guys I've talked about beforehand, Breckyn, Charles, Nelly, TQ, those guys are going to have to go. The other guys are going to have to collectively get their reps. It's a good group. They play hard.

On Jarmarquis Durst: He's done a really good job. I've been really, really happy with him. He's gone out there. He's played Nickel for us. He's made plays. Good kid. He's done everything we've asked. I've been impressed by him. He's trying to work himself into the two deep.

On what Omenihu needs to do to have an impact in the defense: I think Charles has just got to keep working on the run game. We've been talking to him about it. He's going to have a future at the next level. There's no doubt about it. They're not going out and drafting third down specialists. That's not how it runs. What he can do elite in the pass rush game, we've got to make that the same in the run game. He's taken some pride in it. We've been on him, and he knows he has to get better at it. I think he is developing a little bit more of an edge to him when it comes to the run game.

On having versatile defensive linemen: To me, the old-school plugger like guy, two gap...... TQ is the guy you want. He came in at 250 pounds. We knew he was athletic, could run, was a big-bodied, big shouldered guy. We knew that Yancy (McKnight) could put some weight on him, and he could still keep his speed. Those are the guys that when we look at recruiting, that's what we want right there. If you grab somebody like Charles who is a little beat leaner but longer, you can move him in different spots. TQ, to me, has the versatility to play all three spots.

On how much that helps in being able to go three down or four down: That's it. That's a big part of a guy that can play out on the edge and also a guy that can play on the center. He gives us a lot of flexibility. He's been doing a great job.

On what was the biggest takeaways from the last month of the 2017 season: I think it was just confidence. The crew was a little bit wounded when we first got here. It was still wounded after the Maryland game to be honest with you, then we had to change stuff that we were doing. I think when they had success and they just cut it loose and played without any hesitation, I think that's when "hey, we have the ability to do this. Let's just cut it loose." To me, when you have success and you get confidence that mental barrier that you have, sometimes you watch us and you say "why do you do that?" There's that mental lock, whatever that may be. Whether it's being up tight or trying to do too much. Once you get rid of that part, you just let the athlete go. I think that's what you end up seeing.

On what he thought was the turning point: I thought the West Virginia game was a pretty good game for us just because we won on the road. It wasn't as much (knocking the QB out). We became bowl eligible, which was something that hadn't been around there. We got out of there and you said to yourself "okay, let's keep this thing going." It was a coin toss honestly in the middle of the year. You didn't know which was this crew was going to go because sometimes during our home games we wouldn't play really well. What group is going to show up? I think that game said "okay, we're legit."

On the early enrollee DBs: "They're unbelievable kids. We've had zero issues if I can knock on wood here. We've had zero issues with those kids. They've been accepted by our vets, which that's to me what I look at. When a young guy comes into a program, I just watch the upperclassmen. They know whether they're good in the locker room. They want them to be great players because they're going to help them win. I just watch our vets with them. Probably took them two weeks where they said this is a part of our crew. We'll show you how things go around here. They've been great. They've been really, really physical. They just work.
