Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[Steelhammer]

No, you're eyesight is probably fine. It's your sentence structure that needs serious help.

Both balls did hit the receiver's hands and technically that means the miss is on the receiver as they are coached on the premise "if it hits your hands, it was a catchable ball."

However, he is right in that Thompson put no touch on the ball, basically drilling it and reducing the receiver's ability to adjust to a pass thrown well behind them. 

Remember some tight end once said if hits the skin gotta pull it in

It’s game week. This season and the games after Alabama will tell the story. Are we getting better or worse? Good coaches solve the problems.

Remember some ex QB saying coach told me if in the area WR should catch it.

A QB would say that.

Just an FYI . . . Bama released their latest depth chart. Neither Brockermeyer is on it.

Woah.  4 Sr. and a Soph.  And we may throw our 2 Freshman?  All those extra years in the weight room are hard to offset.

I said way back when he would be a steal. I think that could be the case after all.

Watching tape of him for some reason I saw a combination of Lil Jordan & Dev Duv.  Not quite the speed of Dev but had the hands and like Lil Jordan, he just knew how to get in the right spot.

He's got more jiggle than Dev. His legs are like tree trunks, like a RB at WR.

I always thought Dev had a RB frame as well.  Compact and strong.

Speaking of WR, anyone know the latest on A. Hall?  Is he back practicing at least?  I completely understand the why, it's just a shame to not have that weapon come the Bama game.

So we aren’t going to have a depth chart. I like to look at them but no big deal. I think Sark and staff wants everyone ready to be able to play. 
 

So how are y’all seeing the OL?

Banks and Karic- Tackles

Hutson and Connor- Guards

Majors- Center 

With several more getting to play a lot.

I see it very close to yours but with Jones at RT and Karic as a swing T.

T: 1. Banks, Jones; 1st off bench Karic

G: 1 Conner, Hudson; 1st off bench Campbell

C Majors; 1st off bench Part

I really hope Majors has added good muscle and strength.  He got bullied too much last year.

Don't know if it's already been talked about, but it sounds like we have a kicker problem.

I wonder if NTG is coming around on being excited about him , or is he going to stick with his skepticism since Red was the 1414 rated recruit. 

I think Sarks comment a few weeks ago was he wanted to see more consistency from him. From Ewer's comment that no longer sounds like an issue.

As soon as you said that I had flashbacks to the Cal/Tex game when Heard scored the tying TD only to see the K miss the XP.

In possibly related news, an hour after that game was when I started believing in curses.

That was a rough night.
