Pitre and Bernard are 2 really good defensive guys that y’all have to replace. On offense replacing Smith, Ebner, Thornton, and Sneed is a pretty big task as well. That’s almost of you guys production on the offensive side of the ball from last that’s gone.
Practice is locked.how bout you get your ass to a practice so we can get one of your trustworthy reports.
Not on Tuesday. Its open to the public. Ill meet you there?
Is it time for Sark to go full Mike Leach?
It may be a stretch and I may be reading too much into it, but I have a feeling Sark is doing the same sh*t as last year. He wants Ewers to win the battle, but he isn't. He is giving him more time to fill his self fullfilling prophecy. Newsflash. Ono more week won't do sh*t.
No, it's Bo Davis time. Turn the lights out in the qb room and turn this sumbitch loose. Guarantee you'll have a room full of Joe Montana's the next day
I think there's a limit to the number of hours coaches can coach the kids in the offseason.
I think Ewers is going to be just fine. Recall that VY, Colt, and Sam also struggled in their first season while still showing their potential. It takes at least a full season in a system before you get comfortable and confident. I like that he’s putting in extra work to get caught up after not playing for two seasons. I hope he’s named the starter so it accelerates his development. He’s going to make a ton of mistakes while he grasps the system.
Colt even struggled in his second season. He threw 18 interceptions his sophomore year. People just need to get ready because there's going to be some bumps in the road with him. It happens to all young QBs, it's inevitable. I just hope the fan base doesn't give up on him after he makes a few mistakes.
I still find it hard to believe that any freshman can come in and grasp on offense year 1. I think it is more normal to hear "isn't yet grasping the offense" for a freshman QB than not, because it is rare to use a freshman at any school. A redshirt freshman in the same system can make sense. Last year, Card was a RS Freshman in a new system and now same with Quinn. I don't think we should be in a hurry. If these two QBs are indistinguishable, it is very easy. You start the upperclassman. You can groom Quinn as you go along. Hopefully we'll have some break away wins and get him some decent playing time.
I'm not asking for perfection. I don't think it's unheard of to expect that our million dollar transfer who the coaches desperately wanted would be ready to start in a full spring and offseason. The urgency should have been there all year, not wait until fall camp before you act like you want to win the starting job. Maybe he has been working hard all summer and I'm wrong, but that would be even worse.
Maybe wait until you see the product on the field to cast judgement. I know Sark has a high standard for QBs, so what he sees as struggling a little bit could just be him demanding perfection.
I'm not basing it off what Sark says. Every reporter out there is saying he is struggling with the offense. Maybe they are all lying, maybe the light will turn on in the next couple of weeks.
Most of all practices have been closed. There hasn't been much access to the team portion of practices. So these reporters aren't getting a full picture of what's really going on.
You're gonna give a "flying F" on 11/26!This is a Texas Fall Camp Thread. Nobody give a flying F about Baylor. Please start a Baylor thread so this one does not get "rat holed" please.
Yeah we’ll gaf that day, maybe a little more than we gaf when we play ULM, but not much. Beating Baylor never has been a big deal, never will be. Sorry.
Knowing us ...we will play Alabama surprisingly good.. be up even at some points..and barley lose. Then get blown out by teams much worse. Texas usually plays up or down to competition.. especially last 12 years.
Looking back I don't think we played down to the competition. If we had better coaching this would have never happened.
That 2019 LSU game weighs in the back of my mind quite a bit. That was one of the greatest teams of the last 50 years and we had them on the ropes. They beat us by 7. You never know in college football. Now I don’t think we will beat Bama but we might be able to keep it close. That should be a good gauge for the rest of the season.
