Do we even lift bro? S&C program stinks

[Bruh Man 3160]

Overmatched and overpowered in 3 games this season. At least under Herman/Yancy, we looked the part.

It's always a bad sign when more of your players are constantly getting hurt in a game. Didn't see one injury from OK State but almost every series, someone from Texas was on the ground after a play

We got hurt just as frequently with Yancy, but a lot of that was due to Todd Orlando ramming DBs into OL for 90 plays per game. At least we weren’t fucking weak. We look weak and under-conditioned with Benton.

I've felt for a looooooong time (maybe since Orakpo?) that our guys have always looks smaller than other team. Thompson and the running backs looks stout. Everyone else? 

[UT_OB1 2266]

Well Bijian can squat 315 fir 3 sets of 10 in less than 10 minutes. Wtf kind of goal/workout is that?  Are we bodybuilding now?  

[ImissWallyPryor 9046]

Resistance bands, bruh.

I've said it for years we lift those fake weights they use for displays at stores, gives our guys confidence

I’ve said this for years now, but many S&C coaches don’t study anatomy and physiology enough. They just are the jacked guy who is just consistent and applying the same program to every player. I feel like a PT would be a better person to design programs than whatever they use now. 

[CurlyDumps 4663]

No no no. We’re not allowed to question S&C.  There must be some other explanation for players getting pancaked by 170 pound receivers, getting weaker from year to year, and completely wilting in the second half.

Our players looked bigger back then. And no, it's not because of the bigger pads. Nobody on our defense looks like this anymore. Maybe Mad Dog knew what the hell he was doing.

Do you not remember the year every RB was basically dead and Roschon switched to RB? Sometimes the injuries just happen. We haven’t had a bye week yet and I imagine this team is extremely tired after getting beat up in some very physical games

[ClubWhatever 12323]

We are playing about 5 guys on each side of the ball who are just weak.   Ok state had maybe 1.   They are an old team with probably an average of 3 years in the program.  We have some youth and just some weak guys who should not be out there.  I think you have to evaluate the strength program over more than just a year but the early returns are not promising 

[stickyicky 6]

 

found this in Torre Becton’s likes on Twitter.

its now: 

Q1: +58 Q2: +34 Q3: +16 Q4: -24

he’s denying a very clear issue. Who gives a shit if the backups were in? We can’t play 4 quarters of football because are players literally incapable. 

guy has got to go.

You forgot about Okafor, Malcom Brown (DT), Keenan Robinson, Poona Ford (human chode), and Ossai. On offense we’ve had Warren III, Duvernay, Cosmi a few other studs. We’ve had big strong guys that were wasted by shit coaches. We’ve never looked this weak though.

[USNALonghorn 5191]

Whoever mentioned high rep back squats being a problem is spot on. We need strength, not aesthetics.

Strength: 1-5 rep range

Hypertrophy: 8-15 range

Yeah, we'll have guys here and there. But it never seems like it's the team as a whole. I noticed today that the DBs for OSU were massive compared to Worthy/Moore.

Terrible comparison. Jaylen Waddle and Devonta Smith were under 180 lbs and killed it as WRs at Bama. Modern WRs are not big. Size matters at OL/DL/ILB. Everything else is more of a speed game, outside of your short yardage back.

Did you know that the offense didn't get another first down after our last TD with 11:38 left in the 3rd?

You have a point to some extent. But I also saw a DB completely shove Moore(?) out of the way to make a tackle for loss against a receiver on a swing pass. Like a rag doll.

[Funk Doctor Spock 13287]

At least with Yancy we knew we wouldn't be out-hussled. I don't know what to think of Becton in year one, but our injuries are ridiculous. I feel sorry for the players who were sold on making Texas better like D-MO. Dude works his ass off only to have to line up near Brockermeyer.

I could have done that before I got COVID too as an unathletic 47 year old.  Building back now.

Maybe its no running.  We run out of gas in the 4th.

[Tex-19 3013]

We were doing great with injuries until the last two games. Idk what's in the water all of a sudden

[Grade of D as in David 13255]

 

I'm assuming this is what our s&c sessions look like.

 

The gals at Curves are in better shape than our team.

[Bruh Man 3160]

Show me one lineman that looks like this. Jake Majors looks like a lineman at a good 6A school. This program continues to fall off a cliff.

Conditioning is definitely a huge issue that I’m sure our awesome Austin media will ask about Monday so don’t worry about that guys!

Whatever they are doing they need to stop and the exact opposite the next two weeks.

Are you seriously questioning Bijan’s conditioning routine? Motherfucker can do 100 jumping jacks for all I care, that’s the worst example possible…

DMo is just as much of a liability as Brockermeyer

Need some of this:

[CurlyDumps 4663]

Meanwhile Baylor was still flying around in the 4th qtr and cruised in a game that started 3 hours later.

Beckton is a fucking fraud. Mr. “All Gas No Brakes” hired a gimmicky clown not fit to train overweight housewives at LA Fitness. Without Bijan’s heroic effort at TCU, we’re likely looking at three 4th quarter collapses and a 60 minute humiliation in Fayetteville.

[Tex Pete 21495]

I’ll have to check in on our S&C regime. Haven’t heard anything yet.

No, dumb ass, I’m questioning the training routine he and his teammates are being put through. Special freaks of nature like Bijan it doesn’t matter what they do, they will be good. But for the rest that are “average” you need a program that will improve them physically AND builds useful strength for the role they are in. Low weight hi rep squats aren’t it for a RB, LB, OL, etc

Edited October 17, 2021 by UT_OB1

[Chili dog 1810]

My biggest concern with the S&C program is that it seems to have completely failed to develop mental toughness, which is probably the most overlooked job of a strength coach. It’s where a lot of SEC strength coaches like Tom Moffitt separate themselves from average coaches.

Fairly standard NFL squat workout...

But that's Bijan. Everyone else needs to be on a 531 template.

Mad Dog, like his boss Mack, was great until he just decided to cash paychecks without working to earn them. His last few years, he just sat in his office and basically hid out. He did not keep up with the science of S&C, and he got really lazy.
 

Unfortunately, we’ve mostly hired shitty coaches to do the job since him.

I don’t disagree…just saying that I never thought I’d see the day that Mad Dog was revered on a Texas message board. He was hated and blamed (often irrationally) long before the program turned to shit.
