Jake Smith

[utexas8 1704]

Well, we're doing a good job of trying to wishcast everyone into the portal.

Maybe they wanna play for urban.

Do you even watch the games? Ossai had 11 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 1 sack and a forced fumble against TCU alone. He was not just a warm body.
He also was inches away from two strip sacks against Tech. 

He's the best player on a bad defense. I wanted him to be a game changer. He's not.  I hope he becomes one starting this week.

It's depressing that our WRs--whole team in general, really--are bad enough at the fundamentals that the nice kid who tries hard but has DII-level athleticism, a kid whose being suggested for serious playing time at a CFP-contending program should elicit nothing but laughter, can seem like a good option for no reason other than he can run a route as expected and is more likely than not to catch a pass thrown his way. He's the third-best WR on an average high school team, not Hunter Renfrow. 

[kwood4408 768]

Deleting all your Texas insta posts isn't a good look whether you're leaving or not.

Does anyone know if he even had Texas stuff on there before? Maybe he doesn’t really use that platform.

People pay way to much attention to players social media....makes you wonder if some sit there, F5'ing their social media posts until they see a drastic change and then sound the alarm.

Call me crazy, but I kinda prefer "more likely that not catches passes thrown his way" over the althletic freak who cant remember the playbook...more likely than not resulting in passes to nobody, occasionally the opposing team.

Are you calling us a CFP-contending program? When have we ever contended for the playoff?

They’ll probably put 3 SEC teams in before a 1 loss big 12, and I can’t say I’d blame them this year.

Wiley had two good catches... Agree keep the better players on the field more!!!

This has always been a complaint of mine to Herman's offense. He keeps trying to play what he wants to play scheme wise rather than playing to our strengths.

Play Jake Smith, Jordan Whittington, Josh Moore, and Brennan Eagles if you must have a big man. Stop trotting out TE's if they don't contribute and trying to force the running game with Ingram. He, RJ and Bijan would be better off if we passed to open up the running game vs the alternative.

He has been listed as out so some injury I would imagine.

Smith was targeted 7-8 times with 6 receptions and a crucial absolute bitch made drop. If that isn’t enough for him, he’s a pussy. Given this and the talk of him being upset about targets last year with 4 6 TDs as a freshman I think it’s safe to say he’s your typical Scottsdale white kid.

The idea that the kids are 'soft' or need to 'cut their own grass' is a bunch of machismo bullshit from keyboard warriors.   The players are fine, it is not like they were all walk-ons and didn't receiver offers elsewhere.   Swapping coordinators and systems yearly and not having an offseason to practice it.   Not getting the people in position is a problem.  Not calling a TO when your defense is misaligned.  When the officials are clearly calling a bullshit game, then have a paper bag, put money into it and walk on the field in front of the stands and offer your bribe to them in full view and on TV for them to call a fair fucking game.    You don't need to be a genius to play the game, but you have to know where you are supposed to be and what your assignments are.   That is on the coaches to get the players to learn by heart at all times.

In some cases. We definitely have some players who are soft and who have never fought through adversity. It's been a problem here for years, and it's one of the major negatives that the NFL and recruiting foes have used against us. If it were just perception, it wouldn't be effective against us.

or, are no longer willing to fight through adversity now that they've accomplished all they want to at UT by getting a UT scholarship and all that comes with it, and are already mentally onto Phase 2 ("when I'm in the NFL")

I really don't buy that.  Our problem has been coaching, development and getting the wrong people.   Poona Ford is managing just fine in the NFL as a soft kid.  Adversity is somewhat overrated, otherwise we would be seeing teams comprised of Penn State survivors.

Kasey Studdard on the radio this morning talked about how the defense doesn't seem to have anybody that really gets after people -- no dominant players at any positions.  

Just look at the tcu game -- Not sure why this team didn't play more physically and focused after such a poor showing against TECH.  Where the FUCK are the damn leaders an DAWGS on this roster??

Aren't they tired of losing??

It’s been a fortnight since we’ve had any NFL or prison pipe hitting defenders that just wanted to watch their opponents bleed and cower in fear. This team is all about social media. Instagram brand and looking flashy.  We don’t have any screw loose mother truckers that grew up on the streets not knowing where their next meal will come from bullet holes in their wall shit and that’s the issue.  Other teams T off ans try to end sams life when he runs.  Our guys see a qb running and they lay a pillow down so they don’t hurt him.   Until we get some nfl or bust type players we will always be charmin soft.  Ossai is our closest player that would want to end someone’s love of football if he could. All the rest just can’t wait til the end of the game to get on Twitter

There could be some truth to this.  As we move into the new era of name/likeness/image bullshit where we are heavily selling the come to UT be popular on social media, do things outside of football, enjoy the city, we are going to attract a certain type of athlete.   Recruits that go to Alabama, LSU, Goergia etc, aren't going there for any of that. They are going for the NFL draft and to an extent potentially winning a championship.  

I don't think Texas gets zero of the latter group, but we certainly appear to get more of the Hayden Connors than the Donovan Jacksons. (no racist)

This is nothing new and I think there is a lot of truth in it, mostly because we've run out of reasons.  It's the only thing the football program hasn't/can't change to get out of the dumpster fire.  It has been discussed before.  Austin, Texas offers a lot of distractions.  Oh, and Longhorn Network.
