IT on freshman CB Malik Muhammad...

"Overall, depth on the defense is another team strength. Cornerbacks are a good example of that depth. Malik Muhammad was really good both in man coverage or zone. He also had a really good blitz on Arch Manning, and he was active on running plays as well. He’s the total package and probably the most advanced freshman of the 14 enrollees at this point. He would start at most (all?) Big 12 schools this fall."

Belive a few months back IT said M. M. would be most skilled DB once he hit the field.

Hope that doesn't mean our D looks predictable...

You should read the article you posted. It wasted no time (2nd graph I believe) talking about how much the defense has been winning against the offense.

Good stuff. Give it a try.

From what I read interior DL is winning most of the battles!

The IT guys confirmed this and stated that even though the defense is ahead of the offense right now, when QE and the 1st team are in, they are moving the ball pretty well.

Nathan Forster at Football Outsiders via ESPN https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2023/insider/story/_/id/35981853/2023-nfl-draft-projections-bijan-robinson-tops-running-back-prospects

This quote was annoying at the least. It makes me question everything this person writes:

Accordingly, Robinson has a well-rounded and solid projection. However, he is not a Saquon Barkley- or Jonathan Taylor-level prospect. As a pure runner, Robinson's numbers are solid but he does not excel in any particular metric. His size-speed ratio is good, but not quite as good as the top running back prospects in the past few drafts. His workload was good, but again, not particularly notable in the context of past top prospects. His yards per carry average is also good, but it is not even the highest in this class.

 

[Eastexhorn]

In other words he is no Tyler Rose.

Red just might be more involved with the offense than any of us thought.
