Was he one of those TE type guys we hope to convert to a tackle?

He's 6'4" to 6'5" and came in around 250-260, but also played a lot of basketball.  The kid may just burn calories even when he sleeps for all I know.  He's apparently just a very challenged weight gainer.  On the other hand, I'm very accomplished at gaining weight....even when I sleep.

Sounds like a good candidate for an inline TE. Not every TE has to have glove hands and be able to run routes. Let him kick some SS & LB ass.

That's a shame about Moore. Seems like I remember him being one of the guys Herman mentioned as having a really good spring and fall camp. Maybe when he is healthy, he can gain it back fairly quickly and provide solid depth. 

Jones is a kid I'm excited to see throughout the spring. He has all the tools to be a dominate tackle. Would be a really good thing to be able to have 8-10 solid OL guys for the first time in seemingly forever.

Shhh! Don't ever say that again! lol

To me somebody like VY or Colt could make a video like this.  His record as a starter year to year is 2-4, 8-4 (Shane started a game), and 8-5 for a total of 18-13. no Video is necessary.  Just go to work.

Nobody needs to make a video...everybody needs an audience these days.  On that note, we don’t need photos posted on social media or texted to us on what you are having for dinner.  I had dinner as well, it’s what people do.  Get off my lawn!!!

RANKING THE MOST DOMINANT TEAMS SINCE 2000


2. 2005 Texas Longhorns




Texas' run to the 2005 national championship ended with what was unquestionably one of the greatest plays in college football history. Vince Young's fourth-down scramble shattered USC's title dreams in the Longhorns' thrilling 41-38 victory in the Rose Bowl.

Most impressively, the remainder of the season was thin on drama.

Only fourth-ranked Ohio State stayed within 10 points of Texas, which averaged a nation-best 50.2 points. Young won basically everything but a Heisman while becoming the first college quarterback to throw for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000.

Factor in a defense that allowed just 16.4 points per game and the Longhorns controlled the game on both sides of the ball.

uh....If Earl Campbell is not one of the top 150 players, the list is not worth reading......

And Vince Young should be in the top 20. A shitty list.

 

[oldhorn2]

seriously...!!!..They leave off Earl and try and tell us there were 53 players better than Nobis??? In no universe is that credible!

 

[dillohorn]

Mr. Nobis and Mr. Campbell should share the # 1 spot.

 

[tejasrulz]

They have only announced numbers 150 thru 26. Be that said, VY should be in the top 20 easily.
