Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (I was dead-ass wrong)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I never once got excited this season. I was just patiently waiting for the banana in the tail pipe.
Nope. He’s one of those guys. Kind of a team mascot and I don’t say that in an insulting way. Former super blue with a legendary HS career and people love a grinder that has a dog mentality, is a team player and has overcome hurdles, while seemingly being a great person, regardless of their production. I love him too, but I can’t lie and say he has lived up to what I thought he was going to be as a gamechanger.
The only “not good” team we’ve played so far is Baylor. Rice will have a winning record, and Wyoming will make a run at their conference championship.
Finally, Bama might not be “great” this year, but they are very good - ask Ole Miss. Their defense is elite and Milroe is improving. What would you be saying about them had they beaten us and they were still #3 in the country?
This 100%.
If we’re all gas and no brakes, Sark has our correct mix on the field.
To your point, Ketch, when we get a big lead, sure, sub in Cook much more and pick any WR for for him to sub in for.
Whitt serves the best purpose of any of our WR’s on blocking and as stated above, he’s a possession WR and Cook is not.
This does not mean a thing about Cook’s long-term upside compared to Whitt’s.
It’s playing chess and using the pieces as strategically as possible….and with that mentality, Whitt is deserving of all the snaps he’s getting.
That’s my opinion at least.
And I simply asked you to provide objective data, which you supposedly love doing. 🤷♂️
I don't think JWhitt is a JAG. I think he is an explosive player, he rarely gets tackled on first contact, great at getting extra yards, things you said he doesn't do well. The biggest reason he doesn't score much is he's a possession receiver usually over the middle or to the sideline with the secondary usually around him or the sideline as an additional defender. I rarely if ever recall him running a go route like X or AD. I don't think QE looks his way as often as he should. That was my point and asked you to look at.
... Alabama beating Ole Miss this weekend was very, very good for the Longhorns. Root for Bama the rest of the way.
Ketch…not questioning your statement, but simply asking how you balance current season W/L vs the idea that losses could help recruiting. Just wondering out loud about the near-term vs long-term. Maybe bad wins by Bama would be best of both worlds? Curious on your thoughts.

Refresh my memory...why did JT Sanders only play on special teams his freshman year? It makes me sad to think he only played 2 years. Kinda like when Earl Thomas went to the NFL after playing only 2 years.
