Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (UT kicked A&M's ass this weekend)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Good point.
It's one thing to have a good first 22. It's another to have a good first 50.
1. I think the offense is the offense. They might just throw it more.
2. Cowboys will need to replace coaching and a number of players who will leave in free agency. If they don't resign Pollard, they've got to get a brand new backfield. The offense needs more weapons.
The longhorns need better quarterback and they need to rebuild the defense.
He needs better than JAGS, that's for certain.
Texas will have good DT play and is lacking what they have lacked the last 5 plus years DE that can rush the passer. That is on the coaches for not getting that taken care of. Smart thing would be to have a fund like the OL for the DL. The offense always played better when they ran it. I think the punting will be better and the play of the DB will determin how good the defense is. QB has to get better and focus like he wants to be a top player."Put in the work".
Cowboys need to Cut Zeke and resign Tony P and add another speed back in the draft I would love B. ROb but dont think they will use a 1st rd pick on a RB when they need DE and CB and WR. Heck I think they need OL and QB play also. They need 5 first rd picks I dont know how they get much better with all the holes they will have and prob lose the DC. They should look for a new kicker for sure.
Thanks for the great work this week and all the input.
An omission from your Texas WR list. Del Shofner from Center and Baylor was on the NFL all decade first team for the 1960s . 3 consecutive 1,000 yard seasons with the Giants. Before that a 1,000 yard and another for 936 yard season with the Rams after being the 8th pick in the draft. All done in shorter 14 game seasons, as compared to 16 or 17 games per year starting in 1978. First team all-pro in each of those five years. And not that it has anything to do with his being a great receiver, but his first 4 years in the NFL with the Rams, he was their punter and averaged over 40 yards per kick each of those 4 seasons with a career punting average of 42 yards per punt.

I keep coming back to thinking the offense takes steps forward, while the defense takes steps backwards and we only win 9 games.
I'm not disagreeing at all. I'm just think the experience of the two upper class men will be underestimated. I'm really excited about the young guys and pieces coming in. But there's no subs for experience. If Baxter and 24 can carry the load, then by all means Texas definitely has the most capable offense. QE getting better is a must or we will struggle, because if does and we start a Freshman, it's going to be learn on the fly again. Jmho....
“Joe Burrow might be the best player in football today”
I kinda felt like that after the LSU / Texas game here in Austin. My gawd, that damn 3rd and 17 play!! And, to think UT played Joe closer than any team LSU played the rest of the year. That was one of the biggest college games on TV that year.

I was a Cowboys fan at the age of 3.
My first NBA memory is watching the finals with my Philadelphia family in 1983.
My first MLB game in person was at Veterans Stadium on 8/1/83.
There ya go.
This is when Sark should’ve adjusted his offense to feature his two star backs. We just didn’t have the personnel to run the offense he wanted to.
I thought I read that Elijah Rushing didn't actually show up in College Station, and just stayed home instead.
You are correct. I just looked it up and it turns out that he didn't make it. I thought I read he had. My bad. I'll correct.
