*****SPRING GAME THREAD*****

[MikeV73]

Pouncey has a weird looking helmet. Haven’t seen that model before.

 

[MikeV73]

Ghirami placing his snaps better now, but they are very slow getting to the QB.

 

[MikeV73]

McCulloch playing well.

 

[MikeV73]

TEs need to hit the juggs machine and work on their hands.

Whittington will score on that whee route at some point this year. Calling it right now. That ball hit his hands too.

TEs have a case of the drops today.

As happy as I am to see some Longhorn football, this scrimmage has been very uneventful

We got into the 9th floor suite. Nice digs. Get in here pocono.

Dang it. We gonna lose this game or what?

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Jalen Green has had his name called a lot tonight and in a good way. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was CB2 come August.

A few takeaways from being at the game today:

1. The plan was to be very vanilla!  There was nothing in the offense game plan to reveal anything about this offense. 

2. The wind did impact several throws, no excuses

3. The defense is very fast. 

4. TE’s have to catch the ball

5. The freshmen stars, Bru and Jordan will be everything we want them to be.  

6. Rhafiti must learn to snap or move to guard. They were consistently slow and low.  

7.  LBs with McCullough, dele, and Ossai will be fine but need to stay healthy  

8. Overall nothing exciting other than getting to watch a little football

Final: Team White 12 Team Orange 6

An offensively challenged spring game for the most part. I am going to conduct a rewatch and give my thoughts on what I saw this evening.

Thank the Lord, the Ahmad Brooks and Lowell Gallindo show is over.  Is it just me,  or are those two motor mouths annoying to anyone else?

 

[Bear19]

My take away is no serious injuries. At least none I saw. That’s all that really mattered.

Lol. I was going to post earlier that at least we will win this one regardless of my attendance....

My thoughts . . . 

1. Ehlinger did not have a good scrimmage, IMO. INT, threw out of bounds while out of bounds (6-7 yard loss).

2. Defense came to play, but was facing a pretty generic offense.

3. I feel VERY good about Jamison and Green as our cornerbacks.

4. Overshown had a good scrimmage.

5. TEs need a ton of work.

6. I'm not so upset with Ghirmai and the snaps. He hasn't been at center very long. Very correctable and just takes a little time. I hope Hand is patient with him.

7. Bru McCoy. I'm a big fan.

8. Whittington is going to be good. Grass is green.

9. Kirk Johnson's re-debut was not so exciting. I think it was because we kept it so simple in the play calling.

10. LB play was pretty decent. I'm not as worried as I was.

Concur on all points.  I would add that I was encouraged by both the DL activity and the OL pass blocking.  OL run blocking got better as the game went on.

Yes...
