Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (I want to take it all back!)

This. If we're just talking athletic freaks Lovell Pinckney would be on the list. We are talking about the best players.
I think I will have to bow out of the Wednesday wing night. Streets may be flooded due to Beta.
Not a convincing arguement, well try this one then, the best should be able to take it to the next level right, Williams NFL stats, receptions 393, yards 5715 TD's 44, Shipley Receptions 79, yards 858 TD's 4. I rest my case
I’ll take production over talent all day, Shipley was just a gamer. Roy seemed to have an On/Off switch... he was a superior athlete but he didn’t always dominate like he could have if he was dialed in 100% of the time.
I guess Priest Holmes was a better college running back than Cedric Benson.
Gotta agree with Ketch on this point. Shipley's performance in his last OU game was one for the ages.
My mistake! Heck, I spelled it wrong too. Cotton, who I know, pronounced his name “SPIRE.” But your spelling of it as “Speyrer” is correct.
Go look at Texas/ LSU Cotton bowl, 2003 Nick Saban Tiger went on to win national championship that season, Simms to Williams destroyed them
No, Cedric Benson stats don't lie, great career, over 6,000 yards rushing and receiving. Heck Cedric had 232 attempts rushing as a freshman, compared to Holmes 4 year career of only 252 rushing attempts. One must wonder though what Preist could have done in college with 1600 rushing attempts, because in the pro level he smoked Benson with over 11,000 yards in rushing/ receiving & 94TD's
I remember it well. That was the only time I have ever seen Nick Saban fail to adjust against a mismatch and double cover Williams.
Uh, these players have only been here for 2-3 years. They are not responsible for the disaster that was Charlie or Mack's last years. Get a grip and support this team that is here now.
..
Not sure Greg Zuerlein will be hall of fame, but if he has more games like to Sunday
...and with the help of J Fassell...at least an all pro.
Come to think of it GZ might be in the NFL H of F.....after all he has already had a successful career in LA.
I read an article about he and Fassell prepared for that wonderful on-side kick. They practiced it a lot. And you saw the results. Maybe Fassell is ....as some say ... the best Special Teams coach in the NFL? Watch tink?
What about the transfer portal? There must be some high 4 star offensive linemen at Alabama, Ohio State, LSU, UGA or Clemson that can't start because of an insane depth chart. I don't understand how they keep rolling in 4 and 5 star talent every year. What happens to the guys who don't start?

I have really enjoyed your position breakdowns from recruit status to NFL athlete. I find it very enlightening. I hope it’s made its way to Tom’s office. Any chance they would use that as a template on positions to bypass in-state recruits and seek elsewhere?

I think we'll know a lot more once I'm done with the next phase of the numbers dive.
I think the OL piece of the puzzle when viewed inside the prism of the national data should create some instant action in terms of program building through recruiting.
1600 attempts would be averaging about 33 carries per game over a 4 year career... 😳
Yeah but that dude is done. He may not be retired, but he’s done. When was the last time he looked like he wanted to be in a fight? Four fights ago? He will fight again, but expectations are rock bottom and I can’t see many if any more main events.
well, let's see what his next fight looks like. This is the one that can get the yo-yo going.
Yeah, I overstated the 1600 career atempts, Benson had 235 attempts as a freshman and about 1100 for his career, compared to Holmes 252 career attempts . Not a fair comparison
