2021 Fall Camp Thread - Bend Over & I’ll Continue Showing You

[BevoBuck14 27]

I get it our WR group, especially outside, doesn't look good. But it's also similar in quality to last year's with a higher upside if people like Whittington and Moore (Omeire healthy would be found money) remain healthy. Healthy Whittington will be better than any WR last year. Moore was our most productive WR last year. Worthy (and Money for that matter) should easily surpass Jake Smith's production and dependability last year. Those receivers alone can at least match the bulk of our receiving production from last year. Screw the backup depth dropping passes in practice who won't be counted on for significant production. Maybe Washington and Dixon catch better in games.

Add in better receiving TE's, RB's, and average to slightly above average OL play and our passing doesn't look as pessimistic vs big 12 defenses. Oh and Sark actually running the best RB in college football and the offensive potential isn't purely doom and gloom.

This right here is some aggy bullshit.  

It's been 10 years of largely disappointing play and baffling play calls ranging from botched coin flips to multiple blocked extra points to inexplicable rotations leading to fumbles (Ingram fumbling at GL after like 80 yd run eg) to key talent barely playing (Bijan eg) and consistently watching UT coaches just fumble fuck their way to dick for a decade.

I am tempering my Kool-Aid drinking as frankly it has largely for 10 odd years led to being let down overall with the performance of the team.

Can someone remind me where all the nail biting is coming from? From what I can tell, the data points we have are:

1. Spring game 
2. 9.95er "sources" (who actually haven't been that negative on the QBs right?)
3. Media portion of practices - How long is a media portion? If it's 5 minutes and the coaches don't want to show real plays to media, then it's dumb to put any stock in it. Also not all negative reviews from these.
4. Scrimmage 1 reports 
5. One open practice (again, doubtful they opened up many offensive plays for the public to see)

To be honest, kinda seems like everyone is being a bunch of pussies. We have a tiny sample size mostly based on times when coaches don't want to give anyone a feel for what the offense looks like. We also still have 2.5 weeks before game 1. Not saying I know the QBs will be good, maybe they do suck, but also not ready to proclaim we're doomed.

And this is without mentioning anything from FCB.

Reminds me of watching my local high school and scrimmages this time of year.    I haven't seen one where we "blew out" they other team and in fact people were bitching about how we looked.   Three months later deep into December we are still playing football.

I don't think the basement on this team is nearly as low as some people here believe.  This is a damn good coaching staff filled with guys that know what they are doing.

Even with the alleged struggles at WR (and possibly QB) this team is going to score points and Bijan is going to make everyone else's job easier.

I believe that Bijan will make everyone else's job easier, but who do you think steps up and becomes the breakout player that will score when the defenses load the box? I ask because I keep seeing this sentiment but no one is actually pointing out who will step up.

I am trying not to let my BHS take hold but ultimately this is not a very good team on offense (minus RB).

We have unproven commodities at QB, WRs that cannot stay healthy, block or get open, TEs that hate contact/blocking and cannot catch as well as an OL that is full of 5th & 6th year JAGs (or at least it seems like Imade, Ghirmai etc have been here 6 years doing jack shit)

I do believe the game day coaching/rotations will be better as Herman was an assclown of epic proportions but Sark is going from leading a Ferrari of an offense to whatever amalgam of pieces Texas has.

This team is so frustrating as in spite of all of this glaring offense weakness I can see 9 wins. I could also see 6-7.

This team absolutely needs to play ball control offense, chew up clock and ride the defense.

Challenge is that is not a sexy O to sell to recruits (before all of the NIL fuckery Plonsky is responsible for)

Oh well, That's why God invited Bourbon, to make Saturdays feel good even if the Horns don't play well.

 

This is just way too bed wetting and vaginal man.  

I can see 9 wins.  You are talking about we are going to go in as favorites in 10 or 11 of our 12 games.  That's not to say we will win all of those, but people acting like 9 wins is some sort of 95th percentile outcome for this season are doing it wrong.  6-7 means we hired the wrong guy, period.  Or that we had a ton of injury trouble or something awful happen to us. 

You aren't far off on anything you are saying, you just aren't conceptualizing it well at all.  We have the best RB room in the nation and a legit Heisman candidate back there.  We have an offensive line that has decent talent and even under just brutal and stupid coaching they were average to above average the last couple years.  We have TE's. A couple years ago we didn't even have those man.  Our WR's are probably not less talented than 7 or 8 of the 12 teams on the schedule. That's the best I can say about them.  Hudson Card will be a more talented QB than every QB on our schedule except Rattler.  Casey Thompson will be more talented than more than half of them.

The defenses in our league aren't exactly known for being the 1985 Bears.  We should have a really good defense, we have good special teams skill players and we are paying a ton of attention to those special teams which can cover a lot of sins.  What group of badasses do you see on our schedule who are going to shut down those RB's with competent and innovative play calling?  

We probably win 9 or 10 out of 12. But you shouldn't have to stretch to see 9 wins or consider it an outlier outcome that isn't within our capabilities.

I do.  That's why I posted "we have tight ends".  It wasn't talk about their quality more we just have organic life forms that occupy a TE meeting room, which is a step forward from those dark times.

We have 6th year seniors at TE & OL that have never really done shit in their time at UT that we are hoping "get it" under Sark.

You keep saying this and I don’t get why exactly. I guess you are talking about Okafor, Tope, and Brewer but our success doesn’t really hinge on the light coming on for any of those guys, let alone all three.

Okafor and Tope are just 2 of the 8 guys we have fighting for playing time on the line (and Tope is unlikely to even start) As mentioned at least Okafor is finally playing the correct position.

Brewer is fine even if athletically he’s never been the same after getting injured early in his career. He can be useful if he’s put in positions that play to his strengths and we have a lot of younger, more athletic guys at TE to do the things he can’t do. Plenty to worry about, but our offense relying on 6 year JAGs in order to be any good just isn’t really one of them.

  I think the last 8 or 9 Offensive Coordinators came to this same conclusion. They gave up what got them the job, and just ran the Greg Davis offense you are describing. I would rather go 0-11 than see that shit again. I just want to see agressive football, throw the ball down the field - if it gets intercepted fuck it. You really want to see screens?

Sark's offense is a lot of "get the ball quickly to a fast guy who is already running," which often is close to the LOS. He's not going to be Rex Grossman style chucking it around with these WRs unless it's been set up.
