Quick Hits
- The WR rotation is really tightening up which means that Herman and staff have probably decided what's been pretty obvious all along: that there is more and more separation between Eagles, Smith and Moore respectively and their backups. Al'Vonte Woodard and Tarik Black are being used extremely sparsely. If Jordan Whittington were healthy, this might be different for Smith in the slot (who played one of his most clutch games as a Longhorn Saturday). Still, though, Brendan Schooler can play slot or Z and we just haven't seen him much lately since Smith returned to health as Schooler has reportedly been banged up himself. It's been Kai Money filling in on the increasingly rare times Smith does come off the field for another WR. Smith does, however, come off the field more often than the two outside receivers, obviously, as he is the player who is usurped when the team goes to two-TE sets.
- Speaking of two TE sets, we actually saw our first three-TE set of 2020 featuring Brewer, Wiley and Epps all on the field at the same time. Not sure how we feel about using that one too often.
- Not to jinx anything, but a fact that no one has talked much about is that the Texas OL, despite struggles at times in the 2020 season, has been perfectly healthy with no member missing a single snap that the staff didn't want them out there for. Some backups were brought in versus UTEP, but that was by design and not due to necessity. This brings to mind three things right off the top:
1) Texas has obviously been lucky in this regard.
2) We haven't seen much of anything from any of the depth that will be depended on GREATLY next season. If this OL stays healthy and games stay nail-biters, we'll have three "black box" starters on the OL next season that we don't have the slightest idea what to expect out of.
3) We're not sure the type of development you would hope for given so much bullets-flying seasoning has occurred in 2020 under Herb Hand.
That last one probably needs some explaining, so let's go player-by-player:
Sam Cosmi came into the season as the line's best player while also having an argument for possibly ascending to the discussion for first-round status. While his overall development at Texas should be thought of as Hand's biggest feather in the hat, his senior season has not seen him live *quite* up to the lofty expectations he came in with thus far.
Junior Angilau moved from the right to the left side in 2020 and many thought the move, getting to play next to a high-level guy like Cosmi, would help in getting Angilau moving in the right direction to come into the 2021 season as the line's most experienced, and truly, best player. So far this season, Angilau is allowing disruption (25.14 snaps-per-disruption allowed) five snaps more frequently per-event than he did in 2019 (30.31) while his average Deep Dig grades has dropped from 77.17 to 76.73.
Derek Kerstetter moved inside to center and has been one of the line's bigger disappointments considering all the PFF accolades from last season and the fact that he's a fourth-year contributor. His Deep Dig average grade has gone from a 77.73 in 2019 to a 76.95 in 2020 while his snaps-per-disruption-allowed has dipped from 38.05 shockingly all the way to 27.5.
Denzel Okafor's play is hard to pin on Hand. He just isn't very good.
Finally, we have Christian Jones, who looks sort of like a Donald Hawkins starter kit. He has really bad plays but also shows some nice things that really point to an eventual ceiling. We don't have any previous season metrics to compare with him, but we can look at this season so far, and in doing so, it's pretty easy to see the trendline moving down over the past three games as the season has worn on.
When you look at the chart above outlining the snaps per disruption, keep in mind ... no player on the entire Texas OL last season was under 30! This season, all but one are. We all knew that Herb Hand was lagging behind somewhat in OL recruiting, but in our opinions, and in those of others, this recently had been excused to a degree simply because Hand has always appeared to be a great OL coach and a hell of a communicator about OL concepts and teachings. At some point though, we have to ask -- especially given the lack of high-end talent in the OL cupboard -- where, exactly, is the development?
