Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Projecting Charlie's 2016 class)

Ketch, your shots at Cousins almost every week really seam silly---almost like doubling down on Garrett Gilbert .
Cousins looks like he deserves to be a starting QB in NFL---half the teams in NFL wish they had him.
He plays on a poor team that has a below average run game and was without Reed and Desean Jackson for about 4-5x games, what do you want from him?
I am sure he will lose this week or the next and you can feel great---but wow, pretty terrible call by you.

He was available last 2 years for a 5th round pick---Texans, Cowboys and a number of other teams blew it by not picking him up.

This was an informative and powerful write-up Ketch. Powerful indeed.

The hell happened to pool? @Ketchum
There's no one on that team to kick ass if needed. I'm getting tired of Coutinho. I get drunk every weekend by taking a drink when he goes right and takes a wild swing for the goal, only to see it soar 40 yards over the net.

You didn't answer the question. Name the playoff teams that he's performed well against this season.

Did I take a shot or am I pointing out a cruel truth?

Probably just a typo, but it looks like it screwed up your math. You've got us getting 24 guys, not 23.
Where are you getting 24?

Texas has 13 commitments and I have them finishing with..

1. Porter
2. Humphrey
3. Smith
4. Shackleford
5. Taylor
6. an in-state DT
7. Jackson
8. McCulloch
9. Jones
10. Cuffee

That's 23.
 
After reading this write up, which was great btw, I'm really surprised that we aren't hearing about a few prospects that Charlie has up his sleeve from Florida.

With as much talent that Florida produces, and with his connections, one would think he would have a few DT or possible OL lined up, maybe some under the radar guys that are being overlooked by the state schools.

I know people will point out that his Florida picks from last year didn't pan out as we might of hoped, but with his history in that state, I'm surprised he doesn't have a few tricks up his sleeve.
When Texas athletes were not showing much interested in attending UT, the staff responded by going into Florida. Strong made it a goal to focus on Texas this year. The only recruiting shift has has been a little more focus in Louisiana. They believe families can make a day trip to Austin for unofficial visits. Much harder to get a family from Florida on a plane.
 
The Hateful Eight was horrible. Three hours of rambling dialogue that was supposed to channel something that QT had done in the past, but missed... Big time. By the third chapter I was begging for this thing to die already. I can't imagine that KR and SJ watched that thing when finalized and thought anything other than "that's not what I thought it would turn out like."
 
How the heck do you have time for movies with lil kids in house. Must have family in the area or take it up the rear in baby sitting fees.

What's amazing about this pretty simple train of thought is that it took a second year to figure that out...

I haven't seen anyone else's thoughts, but a lot of critics LOVED it.
 
- Not only are the Texans winning without a quarterback, they made the playoffs without Arian Foster.

- Cowboys have so many needs that need to be addressed this offseason, they really need to take the best player available. I like offensive lineman, skill players and QBs in the first round. Keep an eye on UCLA LB Myles Jack.

- If I had a $1 for every time Tom Herman's name will be mentioned this year on OB, pretty sure I'd have a down payment for a house in Austin.

- I have never watched the Oscars. I don't see that streak ending this year.

Typically, we can get a sitter for a few hours. Also, I have a window between 3-6 every day when I get off the air where I can squeeze in a late matinee if my schedule allows for it.

a. Peyton Manning will be a Texan next year.

b. No.4 is too high for Jack IMO. Dallas needs defensive linemen.

c. A hefty down-payment at that.

d. Chris Rock is the host this year...

Sorry, my bad. Re-read it and thought you had added Chris Brown in there. You're right, 23 guys..........although I'm really hoping we are able to take 25-27 this year.
 
If Goff is available, I think you have to take him, but if he isn't available, landing Robert Nkemdiche would make me very very happy. Building inside out has always been a proven way of drafting and Dallas needs a lot of help on defense. A lot.

I saw the 76% from RT. Any movie that runs over 3 hours long, but could have been 90 minutes and not been much different, is not great and probably thinks a little too much of itself. Add in all the over the top stuff from that QT and there is little room for doubt that this movie thinks too much of itself.
 
The Patriots are cooked....really? You want to bet against the hoodie because of a "dip" at the end the season?

Wow!

I guess the answer is zero---division was weak and REDSKINS are not a very good team.

Your cruel truth is ---for weeks you have bashed him and certainly expected for him to fail at Philly. Instead, he has had a great year and had many ex-NFL QB`s praise him.
You have been DEAD wrong on Cousins----he has had a terrific season while playing for a below average team

This week or next , his season will end and like a broken clock...you can feel like you got it right.
Half the teams in NFL wish they had him---and idiot GM`s missed the opportunity to get him last 2 seasons for just a 5th round pick.

Chris Rock won't be enough to make me watch. I'll catch the highlights on Headline News the next day

Able to isn't the issue. Texas just needs more yes votes than no votes.

Wow!
They ain't winning the Super Bowl. That's all that matters with respect to them.

Also, we're talking about a two-month dip.

I haven't bashed him. I've simply warned people not to get carried away. His sample size is not only small, but crafted around the weak.
