Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Time to double down on Sam...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
lol. sure it does.
Just not in this thread today. If you need to go discuss it, go discuss it there until you don't have any urge to discuss anywhere else.
It is playing football right now and has put playing football in front of extreme caution.
LOL, that’s not an $ec value - three leagues made the choice to play and one of the ones that chose not to is having extreme levels of regret and looks like complete clowns. For once the Big XII isn’t the joke.
Also, since when is “extreme caution” the standard? Under the standards of “extreme caution” no one should ever play football.
The leagues that are the jokes are the ones UT fancies itself as pals and colleagues with... typically.
If Brewer can have the season he's capable of having, that would give him 2 seasons and he'd probably draw a decent grade from the NFL. Given his history of injuries, he'd be wise to jump.
OB has pretty much never understood that Epps was a guy who arrived needing a lot of polish.
Hard to disagree. As much as people want to STILL tout Caden Sterns and BJ Foster, the simple fact is currently Brown is a superior player to both.
Completely warranted. Obviously our sh*tting OL recruiting for '21 isn't helping.
Jamison is a taller, less stocky version of Quandre. Both can flat out ball. That's what happens when you move guys who were electric playmakers on offense is HS to DB when that choice has to be made.
Please let one or even both be in the mold of a Rod Wright or better yet, Shaun Rogers. First time in a long time we've had non-tweener monster inside DL guys who can also move. Malcom Brown is the only recent one and he's quite frankly not been that recent.
A year ago did you get the sense Herman was looking to move Todd Orlando (along with 6 other assistants)?
Yep. It's relatively an abomination what it's become in the time since. Per Rivals we are #13 with a 3.47 star ranking. On 247 we are 15th with only an 89.41 player average. Given the in-state strength of this class along with this now being Herman's 4th year on the job, that's rather pathetic.
Let's also not forget that Applehwite's path to the starting job in '98 was cleared by 2 injuries to the top of an already thin depth chart. Quite honestly, if Charles Wright WERE Applewhite, he'd still probably never see the field as a starter in his career given what's ahead of him not to mention what's coming.
Do we know what Montrezl Harrell thought of it?
He's officially in full reverse career-wise. Missed the top 30 (Tour Championship) last year for the first time. This season he doesn't even make the top 70 for the next to last event.
Lots of woof in that list. I'm sorry, but from a CFB perspective, at least half of those were busts in college relative to expectations.
I would say you can throw a washcloth over Jamison, Brown and Coburn spots #2 - #4 after Ossai.
I have 2 recollections of Bobby Reid
1. He heaved at least 2 passes into the stands to avoid sacks at DKR in whatever year
2. He was the inspiration for:
Your thinking's correct, however the hypothesis should be "if Applewhite were Charles Wright today" he probably wouldn't see the field because of the QB talent he'd have to compete with.
If Charles Wright had been Applewhite in 1998, he might have been just as successful as Major was that season (perhaps more), particularly if Wright was also bolstered by having a Heisman winner at RB and a senior OL surrounding him like Applewhite was.
You could probably make the supposition that Ehlinger wouldn't see the field either if he had to compete against talent like Card, Jackson and Ewers.
I suppose it comes down to whether he's capable of posting the season he's capable of in 2020, but if he thinks of himself as a true NFL prospect, I agree with you.
Ehlinger was a rock solid 4-star (just outside the top 100) coming out of HS. By no one's accounts is Wright even close to even that level of prospect.
