Lol at Sark losing the fan base. Maybe he has lost the message board portion of the fan base. In particular Surly, where some of the most whiniest bunch of cunts of dumbass fans exist, a group apparently led by the site owner. I don't understand how some of you can be so fucking negative all the fucking time for a team you supposedly root for. Has to be a beating.

Come back after you’ve won a bowl game Steve

I went back a year and looked at the fall camp thread last year to see what was being said during the open practice for comparison to this year

 

 

Then there was this

Holy shit this was brutal to read. If Scipio’s “insider/knowledgeable” intel was so fucking useless then why am I even reading all this crap like I can take anything from it?

Perhaps, but there's not a lot in his premise that I take issue with.  Getting Coburn replaced is something I've wanted for years.  A defense with DTD, if reports are to be believed that he is legit, instead of Luke Brock is already miles better.  Cherry on top being a secondary without BJ Foster and how can you not improve at least 10 spots in the national defensive rankings?

You are forgetting, as bad as Foster was, Schooler was worse.

it's basically the dumb shits that predicted 10 wins last year and are pissed at Sark when they should be pissed at themselves for being dumb shits and thinking that was a 10 win team.

I think he could get to 260 pretty easy and still keep his agility. That won’t take a year or two. IMO.

We're not doctors, gentlemen. The NCAA has testing programs for this. Let's let them worry about it. Besides, it's not that hard to put on 35 pounds in a summer, if you really hit the gym.

You generally want to go 1 gap with players that are quick. Those are the guys that shoot gaps well. Rams ask their DL to 2 gap, but they will  move Donalson around and let him shoot gaps. You generally want big strong guys to 2 gap. Guy like Gilbert "grave digger" Brown is a good example.

Christ guys:

2-gap DL: Long but not necessarily tall and not overally big. There's usually not much difference between the DEs and NT.  Have to be able to strike and destroy blocks like a middle linebacker would be expected to.  Have to have a motor and be agile.  Hovering near 300 lbs. Nose tackle needs to be bigger if he's required to play in multiple fronts. Counter to what ignorami have been posting, 2-gap DL are often stat monsters: Aaron Donald, Cameron Heyward, Christian Wilkins, AShawn Robinson led the NFL in tackles among all DL. Desmond Jackson is a good longhorn example who played both types of NT during his tenure.

1-gap DTs: Heavier, allowed to be shorter but it is still not a plus.  Must hold up double teams and push OL to close gaps.  DTs need to be taller/slimmer or at least have a higher motor if they are expected to generate any pass rush.  Not uncommon to require your DT player to be a part time 2-gapper.  NTs typically get doubled pass downs anyway so and bigger is better, push always beats speed here.  Frank Okam (in college - he slimmed down for NFL) is a good Longhorn example.

Third down specialist: Speed kills.  Doesn't care about blockers except as obstacles to get around.  Uses speed and shiftiness to get through gaps, because he doesn't care if he opens a hole for an easy run.  See young Trey Flowers being used at NT for New England.  Or Malcolm Roach as a Longhorn.  I feel like most of you guys are confusing this for 1-gapping.

I respect Scipio but man he can be an insufferable know-it-all douche bag.

Expand  

I've always wondered just why people give him so much credibility about football.  Best I can tell he's some dude that used to post a lot on the early days of message boards and parlayed it into columns, radio spots, etc...  Maybe he has some football cred beyond message board poster/average fan but it's doesn't seem like it most of the time.  A couple of the local afternoon radio douchebags trip all over themselves about him though.

This kind of post is so cringy... It's some hasbeen or neverwas telling all of us what a billy-badass he'd be.

Why do you have to be so obtuse? You know that was not what I was going for. That was not what I was trying to communicate at all. Just that I have zero to do with how the Bama vs Texas goes and neither does anybody on this board.

For people who do have something to do with it, I am sure they aren't conceding. I am sure they are fired up and are deluding themselves that they can win, because that is generally what you do if you are a big competitor in major college football. That was all I was trying to say. I only put myself in there for illustrative purposes: a situation where I would be in a position to concede or not concede. I don't mean to imply that I was or would be some big badass under any circumstances. I am sure I would think I was badass until I got my ass kicked.

Schooler had one thing Foster didn't......effort.

This.  What bothers me the most about this staff (other than our record last year) is that they allowed Foster to play as much as they did.  Somebody should have pointed out his absolute lack of effort and demanded they bench his ass.  He was embarrassing.

No, it's not. It's going to be about fucking time.

Looked like he's trying to take some of it off the ball on the mid throws too. Effortless.

Need to be sure he keeps putting in all that extra work and pray he's got the balls to stand in there and throw dimes when the box is loaded and the PA is called on first down.

What the fuck do you do with these guys? Jet sweeps? Pull guards and trap? Cut block and dink and dunk? 

I hope Sark has a lot up his sleeve.
