IT is expecting OL Christian Jones to take advantage of his COVID eligibility and return for 2023.

This is great to hear, but some way some how DJ Campbell needs to be on that field next year.  I know he doesn't play the same position as Jones.  He needs to play at the G position.  One of Connor, Hutson or Majors has to make room (and I actually like all 3 of those guys).

Great problem to have, no?

They put Connor at RT in order to get Campbell on the field. But Cam is going to give Connor some competition at RT.

Then where does Christian Jones go if he does come back for his COVID year?

Really glad to see this. We all said if he can just stay healthy and that’s just what he did. Dependable, tough guy. 

And he is the best blocker in the BIg 12. Crazy how many downfield blocks I saw him make last year

Only put him in for run plays? ?

Xavier Worthy

Jordan Whittington

Johntay Cook

Savion Red

Brenen Thompson

Casey Cain

Now that is a loaded WR room.

RT until he gets beat out or keeps his status as a starter.

The Oline room is getting pretty loaded too. Some of that vaunted recruiting class of last year will want some playing time after their red shirt year

Now let’s hope we can pass block.

Or run block. I think we were better at pass blocking than run blocking this year. 



This graph shows how much of our run game success was Bijan and Rojo just making something out of nothing.

We did use a 6 OL package a lot with Karic. Christian Jones and Cam Williams seem to be the most likely RTs next year, so maybe the odd man out gets the 6th man role like Karic.

Well that's not very encouraging. But it does make sense after the Alamo Bowl.

Marion is leaving as OC at UNLV. 
 

What are the top names you’d like to see replace him?

Guess he wanted to be an OC pretty badly.

Yes probably had to go run an offense and be successful before being ready for a head job. Sark is always going to call plays so he wasn’t going to be able to do that here 

 

[Eastexhorn]

Unrealistic maybe but Hartline, Samples would be high on the list.

 

[NEOkHorn]

We are Texas, can we money whip Sean McVay? Maybe that was the real reason Sark spent time with him last year.?
