And too fucking meaningless to justify the effort. Maybe this is the beginning of the end of people talking about testing positivity rates. 

I hope so. Absolutely meaningless metric in terms of basing opening/closing things down off of. Count cases/100,000 people or hospitalizations etc. PR sucks.

The actual article does a good job of explaining it. Coleman ironing out any incipient Armanti Foreman style diva tendencies.

Hudson Card is going to start the next 3 years.  I have 0 doubt about this.  He's clearly a better passer than JQJ and Thompson and he was making his reads and getting the ball out quicker than Sam in some of the clips where they are training.  You can tell he's been coached up his whole life.  His footwork and mechanics are well ahead of most freshman.  He's also spent time in the gym and looks like he belongs out there.

Did his hands grow though?

THE LATEST ON BRENNAN EAGLES       By:  FCB

Quote

Some were surprised by the release of the Texas Longhorns’ depth chart this week when Brennan Eagles was listed as the backup to Michigan grad transfer receiver Tarik Black at X receiver, where Collin Johnson lined up last year.

(Horns247 family members shouldn’t have been surprised since I’ve been reporting in The Insider since the beginning of camp that Eagles was struggling to get on track and that freshman receiver Troy Omeire was having the best camp of any X receiver before a season-ending ACL tear.)

Still, how could Eagles, who is the team’s top returning receiver (32 catches for 522 yards, 16.3 ypc, 6 TDs in 2019), be third on the depth chart before Omeire’s injury?

I talked to a couple team sources as well as a source close to Eagles this week who had interesting viewpoints on the immensely talented, 6-foot-4, 229-pound junior wideout and where he is mentally heading into the season opener. (There’s good news.)

First and foremost, the team sources I spoke with gave credit to new receivers coach Andre Coleman for the way he’s handled Eagles, who can be a very strong-willed individual, even when it comes to challenging his coaches.

Eagles had a blow-up last year the week of the TCU game that resulted in him skipping a practice and getting suspended for Texas’ loss to the Horned Frogs - a game in which Texas could’ve used Eagles as UT’s offense bogged down in the second half.

With last year’s leading receivers Devin Duvernay and Collin Johnson now in the NFL, there was probably a sense in Eagles that he was now the man, sources said. But everything under Herman’s watch - and also under Coleman’s watch - is earned.

“There’s not a doubt in my mind that Brennan - consciously or subconsciously - has tested Andre as his new position coach to see where the boundaries are,” said a source close to the situation.

“And Andre hasn’t blinked. Andre has just continued to coach Brennan by stressing the technical details and demanding excellence. If the route calls for outside leverage, and that’s not what the receiver does, that receiver is gonna hear about it. There are no shortcuts just because a guy is big, strong and fast. Little by little, I think Brennan is realizing that all Andre is focusing on is making Brennan better. And the sooner he just trusts Andre, the better Brennan is going to be. I think Brennan is coming around.”

Coleman, a former receiver and kick return specialist in the NFL, doesn’t play favorites. And Coleman, who grew up in blue-collar, Hermitage, Pennsylvania, just outside of Youngstown, Ohio, made it to the NFL as a third-round draft pick from Kansas State as an all-purpose grinder who achieved All-American status in 1993.

“In a lot of ways, Andre Coleman is the perfect guy to coach some of these big, strong, fast, pretty, strong-willed receivers, because Andre made it to the league as an undersized receiver who was anything but a diva,” said a coach who has known Coleman for years.

“Andre is about the grind. He stresses to the big, fast, pretty ones that if they become one of the hardest workers and pay attention to the details, all the doors will open. He also stresses that’s the ONLY way the doors will open. A lot of receivers coaches are put on staff because they’re really good recruiters, but they can’t coach a kid how to get from A to B. Andre is a great, technical coach who teaches kids how to work, how to grind and gets the best out of his talent.”

Tom Herman doesn’t indulge anything but an all-in, team attitude. And Herman can be harsh when he senses any hint of selfishness in a player’s attitude as we saw in Herman’s first year with a player like Armanti Foreman. Foreman was one of the best receivers on the team and had made a bunch of clutch catches in his time at Texas. But Foreman was also a bit of a contrarian who liked to drift to the back of practice lines, didn’t always push himself and didn’t always set the best example - the exact opposite of his brother D'Onta Foreman, UT’s only 1,000-yard rusher in the past 12 years (2,028 yards in 2016). The result was less and less playing time.

Things were complicated when Drew Mehringer was the receivers coach at Texas, because Herman wasn’t above calling out Mehringer in front of the team at practice if he saw something he didn’t like from a receiver or the receiver group, sources said. Coleman has earned Herman’s trust by the drama-free way he’s just made it about the work and attention to detail.

“Andre is incredibly supportive of Brennan and has just continued to stress the grind and nothing else,” a team source said. “I think Brennan is coming around, and you’ll see the arrow start pointing up.”

One source said Eagles “might have just assumed he was going to be the man, because Collin (Johnson) and Duvernay had moved on, and he was suddenly the veteran in the receiver room.

“But it’s always going to be about the grind and consistency and earning it every day. That’s the only way it works,” the source said.

Texas offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich, who is super intense about the details, this week was asked about Eagles.

“His confidence level is growing,” Yurcich said. “We’ve got to get Brennan playing as fast as he possibly can. However fast he is - if he’s a four-four guy in the 40 - we’ve got to make sure he’s running a four-four when we snap the ball. When he’s processing everything, we need to make sure he’s reacting and not hesitant. When he lines up, he needs to know how to adjust based on coverage. That comes with repetition after repetition after repetition. That’s the name of the game.”

Even though Eagles may not start on Saturday, I’m told he’s had a good stretch of practices dating to last week.

Those cutouts will probably make more noise than most of the olds on the west side of the stadium.

Hope we get a video of Herman calling the parents and letting them know on this.  Always like those.

Gotta be a speed record from first practice to stripe removal

All you have to do to speed that process up is earn a degree, grad transfer in and have 4 guys in front of you on the depth chart get dinged up before the first game during a pandemic. 

Easy peasy.

wonder if jerry’s grandson actually wants to work hard enough to play.  he’s definitely a great athlete.  but being a frat star with unlimited cash isn’t a bad life, either.

yeah.  that’s why I’m curious if he wants to work.  he was an AAU basketball player and he’s 6’3/6’4 with ball skills and can jump... if he gains some weight he could actually be of value.  but then, I’d probably take sleeping in and hitting the gravity bong over 5am weights.

I guess its all perspective, for instance your wife think thats not enough.

Glad to see Brown getting some love. I remember the reaction being “meh” when he signed. He showed up ready to bust ass and knock heads. Love the way he plays and thankful that we’ll have him for another year (unless he plays his way into the NFL this year).

Lots of hero’s that day. Betty Ong certainly was fucking nails

Reading that transcript of her call to the ground...holy shit.
