I went down to 6 wins after the Sark/Ojomo tweet and then back up to 10 wins after watching Ewers make two practice throws.  Situation is very fluid.

All the player interviews I've seen mention how physically strong and excited the freshmen are and how they are stepping up as leaders already.  

Someone should ask the upperclassmen, WTF is the matter with you that you need freshmen to lead your lazy ass. Maybe not exactly in that manner, but something like that.

Are players on the team 9.95ers?  Just relaying what I've heard in interviews from the players on YouTube.  Who know how things actually play out during the season.

Kinda sad will Smith and Chris rock have more posts in thatt thread than this thread, but it's indicative of the lack of excitement everyone has for this team. 

I’m plenty excited, there isn’t much substance to discuss yet. The spring game should provide something more to chew on. 
the Will Bitch/Chris rock stuff is an relatively unprecedented cultural event that people on all sides will have a solid opinion on.

Malik is fucking giant compared to everyone else.  I know its all Ewers for now, but man if he doesnt work out, I think Malik has all the intangibles and could be a star.

Yes, because we all know that size is the most important trait for any successful QB. Just look at that Behemoth Drew Brees for proof.

AUSTIN, Texas — Practice No. 3 of the spring for Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns took place at Denius Fields on a cool, cloudy morning Tuesday. Horns247 was one of the media outlets allowed to view a 20-minute window of practice and here are some observations from the offensive side of the ball:

— The offensive line worked almost exclusively on double-team blocks up to the second level with Kyle Flood in their individual periods. The No. 1 group remains the same as it did through the first week of practice with Andrej Karic (left tackle), Junior Angilau (left guard), Jake Majors (center), Hayden Conner (right guard) and Christian Jones (right tackle).

— Logan Parr worked as the No. 2 center behind Majors with recently-converted defensive lineman Sawyer Goram-Welch getting reps behind Parr. With Derek Kerstetter and Rafiti Ghrimai gone, building depth behind Majors is a huge item on the to-do list for flood this spring.

— In terms of injuries, tight end Juan Davis was in full pads and going through drills after dealing with a muscle strain early last week. Wide receiver Troy Omeire was with the training staff going through rehab exercises while the media was on the field.

— Hudson Card and Quinn Ewers had some hits and misses in routes on air with the two working side by side in drills. In terms of who had the more efficient open session, the edge goes to Card, who continues to take the first snaps with the No. 1 offense as of Tuesday, a source told Horns247.

— One thing that stands out about Ewers is his effortless delivery. His ball is comparable to the one Shane Buechele threw while he was on the Forty Acres, especially when Ewers throws deeper crossing routes and vertical balls. The difference between the two, however, is the velocity and spin the ball has coming out of Ewers’ hands, which is something that hasn’t been seen by a Texas quarterback in a practice setting since Chris Simms was on campus.

— Xavier Worthy and Marcus Washington were first up in drill work for the wide receivers, followed by Isaiah Neyor and Jordan Whittington. Of the younger, more unproven members of the group, redshirt freshman Casey Cain was getting a lot of attention from Brennan Marion in drills.

— Jahleel Billingsley and Ja'Tavion Sanders were the No. 1 tight ends on Tuesday and they bring a quick-twitch dynamic to the position the Longhorns lacked last season. That’s something that’s evident in a setting like the one for reporters on Tuesday. Billingsley showed an extra gear catching up to deep balls and the strong hands Sanders displayed wouldn’t be a shock to anyone who watched him in high school.

— Gunnar Helm and Brayden Liebrock worked behind Billingsley and Sanders. Sources have told Horns247 about how good Helm has been in live periods. It remains to be seen how the series of injuries and surgeries Liebrock has dealt with throughout his career have impacted his development.

A gloomy Austin morning didn’t stop Steve Sarkisian’s Texas Longhorns from being back on the Frank Denius Fields for the fourth practice of spring football. A few notes on the depth chart, some observations, and other details from practice No. 4.

-First, injuries and absences. Maalik Murphy was out of his boot but was still not participating in team drills. Instead, he was on the side with members of the Texas strength staff working on getting his ankle back to strength. Troy Omeire was going through a similar process for his injured knee. Jonathon Brooks was not seen during the viewing window. He missed practiced due to personal reasons that do not affect his standing with the team. Luke Brockermeyer was present and without a brace on, but obviously was solely an observer. Juan Davis appeared to have a pitch count on what he could participate in after Sarkisian mentioned he had a “strain” last week.

-The offensive line had a similar pecking order as last week, with Christian Jones and Andrej Karic first up at tackle, Junior Angilau and Hayden Conner first up at guard, and Jake Majors the starting center. Inside Texas did not have the chance to observe Kyle Flood going through full five-man drills. Logan Parr was second at center, followed by Sawyer Goram-Welch. Former Lane College offensive coordinator Ray Pickering, who was added to the support staff last week, was working with Flood and the O-line.

-Flood has plenty of time for teaching during the first portion of practice filled with individual drills or punt/kickoff work. Much of it has to do with technique for guards and tackles (or guards and centers) working in tandem on a sled.

-The team was in full pads once again, and there was a portion in the early stages of practice where every Longhorn save for interior defensive tackles, offensive linemen, quarterbacks, and specialists worked on tackling. There would be a tackle dummy a manager would drag that the Texas player had to track and bring to the ground. Brayden Liebrock was not seen going through these drills, likely to protect his previously injured shoulder. He did work into other position-specific drills.

–Isaac Pearson once again offered good punts into a pretty stiff wind. Players who repped at returner were D’Shawn Jamison, Jordan Whittington, and Xavier Worthy. Special teams was fast-paced, moving from one situation to another. In addition, the entire roster was involved as Bijan Robinson even took a few reps at personal protector. He’s unlikely to see time at that spot in the fall, but it is indicative of both Robinson’s willingness to do whatever he’s asked and the program’s emphasis on special teams.

-QB rotation in drills: Hudson Card, Quinn Ewers, Ben Ballard, Charles Wright, Cole Lourd.

-RB rotation in drills: Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson, Keilan Robinson, Jaydon Blue

-Outside WR groupings in drills: 1) Xavier Worthy and Marcus Washington 2) Isaiah Neyor and Kelvontay Dixon 3) Casey Cain and Thatcher Milton (walk-on) 4) Paxton Anderson (walk-on) and Gus Asel (walk-on).

-Tight end/inside WR groupings in drills: 1) Ja’Tavion Sanders and Jordan Whittington 2) Gunnar Helm and Dajon Johnson 3) Jahleel Billingsley and Parker Alford (walk-on) 4) Brayden Liebrock and Hamilton McMartin (walk-on).

-The media was situated in between the bubble and the 100-yard practice field at the Denius Fields. The defense worked at the south end of the facility, so figuring out the rotation was tough at times. However, it was possible to tell which players were in certain position groups.

-DT rotation in drills: 1) Keondre Coburn and Moro Ojomo 2) Byron Murphy and T’Vondre Sweat 3) Vernon Broughton and Alfred Collins 4) Myron Warren and Jordon Thomas 5) Aaron Bryant and Jaray Bledsoe

-Players in the EDGE group (no order): Barryn Sorrell, David Abiara, DJ Harris, Prince Dorbah, Jett Bush, Ovie Oghoufo.

-Terry Joseph was working with the cornerbacks and essentially had three drills going at the same time. One had a pairing working on reading hips and making the proper break in reaction to the receiver. Another pairing was working on watching receiver’s releases during press coverage. The third was working on the first portion of the tackle. Jaylon Guilbeau worked with the corners. Jahdae Barron worked with both corners and safeties.

-CB groupings in drills: 1) D’Shawn Jamison and Jahdae Barron 2) Terrance Brooks and Ryan Watts 3) Jaylon Guilbeau and Jamier Johnson.

-Blake Gideon worked with his group on a variety of tackle and ball skill drills. Joining him for one of the drills was Sarkisian’s special assistant, Gary Patterson. Patterson patrolled with the safeties for almost a full period of practice, helping how permitted in a drill that focused on the finer points of pattern matching coverages. Safeties working in the drill were communicating on how to properly pass off receivers while dropping into coverage based on their routes.

Defense notes from FCB

Quote

 

— We reported over the weekend, the two best linebackers in Saturday’s first full-pads practice/scrimmage were Jaylan Ford and David Gbenda.

On Tuesday, the first-team linebackers in the Longhorns' fourth spring football practice were Ford and Gbenda with Devin Richardson and DeMarvion Overshown backing them up.

Last year's starting middle linebacker Luke Brockermeyer, who is still recovering from a torn ACL, was at practice helping to advise his teammates.

The rest of the defense looked like this:

Up front, the defense was working with a four-man line that had Alfred Collins and Keondre Coburn at the tackles with the first team, while Byron Murphy, T’Vondre Sweat and Vernon Broughton rotated with the second-team. Freshman Aaron Bryant and junior Myron Warren rotated in behind them.

At end, Barryn Sorrell and Ovie Oghoufu were the first ones getting reps with the first team. But Prince Dorbah and even freshman Justice Finkley rotated reps with the first team at end on Tuesday. Redshirt freshman David Abiara rotated in behind them.

Junior Jahdae Barron was getting the first reps with the first-team defense at nickel/star, and Anthony Cook and Kitan Crawford were getting the first reps with the first-team defense at safety.

Jerrin Thompson and Morice Blackwell got most of the second-team reps at safety with B.J. Allen and J.D. Coffey rotating in behind them.

At cornerback, super senior D’Shawn Jamison and 6-foot-3 Ohio State transfer Ryan Watts were getting the first reps with the first-team, but Jaylon Guilbeau subbed in for Jamison with the first team some on Tuesday. Jamier Johnson and Terrance Brooks rotated with the second-team at corner.

I’m excited to see what Jahdae Barron can do at nickel. According to Pro Football Focus, Barron was one of the highest-graded players on the defense when he was on the field. Barron moves really well and isn’t afraid of contact.

That looks pretty good.

We have to get 2 transfer who can come in immediately to have a chance on the edge. Mathis and Sorrell with Finkley, Dorbah, and Ovie as backups would be alright but not great. Linebacker is just shit.

I mean there’s nothing to talk about except $9.95 fanfic. Until we get to see the spring game it’s just rehashing roster discussions that have been beaten to death. And then we get to place a hugely disproportionate amount of weight on one scrimmage for four-five months.

So in other words, there is absolutely no fucking comparison.

No shit. David Boothe Stadium will be rocking with hundreds of fans in attendance.

Hey, by the fourth quarter of the OU game where they had a top 5 opponent on the ropes, there were at least 5,000 people there. It was a raucous environment before Caleb Williams broke their hearts with his bumblefuck play.

Sorrell looks like a million bucks and played well in spot duty last year so I bet he can be a solid contributor. But yes, the outlook is bleak on the edge if we don't get Mathis. Ovie shouldn't be a 3 down player. Situational pass rush only. 

Hopefully they add an inside LB to pair with Ford and kick Overshown out to SAM in the summer/fall. That would upgrade us at several spots.

Speaking of LB, per 247

Quote

— I exchanged a few messages with LSU transfer linebacker Josh White and some sources near him. White is already picking up steam as a transfer with offers from TCU, Baylor and Miami last night. A four-star prospect in the 2020 class, White picked LSU over Texas even though he flirted with the Longhorns late in the process. A source near White told me he could be visiting Texas this weekend as he's trying to see some schools up close. I feel that if Texas moves on him they will be in a good position to add him and improve the linebacker depth on campus.
