August 14, 20241 yr Colin Page is a smart kid with very good vision and juke shake. He played on my son's Anderson team. I am not calling him anything other than a good football player. He kept us in the Westlake and LT games a few years ago - at least the first halfs - and good for him getting called out by Sark!

If Colin Page can learn pass protection, he could be a quality situational player for Texas this year. Sark and his offensive assistants have to figure out how to protect Ewers... our 2024 opponents are gonna blitz the hell out of Texas now that Baxter is gone for the season.
August 14, 20241 yr Davis can be a monster in the backfield, especially with pass protection. He'll lay the wood. Plus he's so athletic that he played everywhere and he has the want-to. Great teammate, good player, just let him do his thing, even if it's just pass pro.

August 22, 20241 yr "Were not taking a body to take a body" Folks, meet Velton Gardner! I feel like Jerrick Gibson will be a pleasant surprise for us this season. His coming out game will be against Michigan. Blue to the outside, Gibson through the tackles, and Wisner to the slot. We have the weapons to make UM panic. We are disgustingly loaded at WR outside of Ohio State. Since Orji is an unproven commodity, our D will feast knowing they'll rely on the run 90% of the time. Load the box, keep the safeties close, and let our DB'S do man, and we should come away victorious.
August 23, 20241 yr We'll be ok at RB. Not elite, but with Blue's speed, Wisner with some jukes, and Gibson coming on, I think we'll be alright. Gibson will be the breakout star of this offense. The more acclimated he gets, the more he goes full Goku.

August 23, 20241 yr Author Thx for this @Machinator Burton: Quote One thing Fozzy said last night that caught my ear. Fozzy said he was talking to Tashard Choice last week. And Choice told him that Jerrick Gibson is the best pass protector of the bunch. From Fozzy's mouth to God's ear. Hope that proves to be the case this year because Quinn Ewers needs a big back to step up in that role. Edited August 23, 20241 yr by LTtxfan
September 8, 20241 yr Popular Post I guarantee that any casual fan tuning into our games has no idea our RB room has been decimated, which has to be the greatest compliment a position coach can receive.Take a bow, Tashard.
September 8, 20241 yr That pic they showed during the game that Blue has in his locker of all the RBs from 2 seasons ago….anybody have a link to a poster? That would be badass to have in my media room.

September 8, 20241 yr Blue is special in space. We should be throwing at least 5 or 6 swing passes to him a game.

September 8, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, Doc Daneeka said: Didn’t Blue score on one where they forgot to cover him? Yea but for the most of the game they had a man shadowing RB and they were hit pretty early.
September 8, 20241 yr Just now, Hook1997 said: Yea but for the most of the game they had a man shadowing RB and they were hit pretty early. I mean, fair, but that one play was enough to win the game outside of a garbage time TD. The good thing is that even if the D does that, it’s just going to leave some other Uber-talented guy with a chance to be open.

Huh, Texas was killing Michigan today with this. This play to end the 1st half, the Blue TD in the 3rd quarter, and Wisner caught a couple swing passes for good gains.

Blue is running 85% or so and puts a slight hesitation move that has all 3 Michigan players reacting at the same time. Blue hits afterburners for the edge and powers into the endzone. it was subtle and beautiful. Edited September 8, 20241 yr by lilMAC25
September 8, 20241 yr What injury did blue play through? He was feeling it pre-game and in-game. Whatever it was it demonstrates that some of the character concerns about him coming into Texas have been answered.

The field-level shot is just humiliating for the DB.

September 8, 20241 yr 10 hours ago, Texasrocks said: The overhead angle doesn't really capture the move. The field-level shot is just humiliating for the DB. I said this in the game thread, but we should rarely ask Blue or Wisner to block in the passing game. You create major mismatches when you add them to the passing game. Blue, IMO, is one of the best players in the country when you get him in space. If you don't commit a couple guys to the perimeter you're asking for disaster like this play. He humiliates a DB here but often times when you run these swing passes he actually gets 1 v 1 opportunities with a LB which is even more of a mismatch. Edited September 8, 20241 yr by Rickylovesweed
September 9, 20241 yr During the broadcast they mentioned his ankle needing retaping. Looked worse than that seeing him hop off the field. He couldn’t put any weight on it.Glad he was able to recover and get back in the game.
September 9, 20241 yr Trey Wisner giving me Jbrooks feelz. Really similar running styles. I hate to say slasher b/c both guys run physical ; both have that lean to them, fast but not Jamal Charles fast, for sure ‘running back ‘ fast. Hard to articulate but man are they similar. The play in 2nd quarter where we ran left, really looked like UM had him stopped at LOS and bam 8 yards fitting through a narrow sliver of a hole.
September 9, 20241 yr I love that you can rotate these guys and there’s very little dropoff. All of these guys are fast enough to run outside, all of these guys fight for yards and move the chains.

September 10, 20241 yr I think it's probably time to never question the RB room as long as Choice is here. Has there been a RB that's looked bad under Choice? Pay that man whatever he wants.

Pay that man whatever he wants. No doubt. I really thought Blue was hurt bad. When he caught the swing pass and turned on the jets while putting the juke on the DB, I was amazed. The speed of all the backs is tremendous. I was watching the game with a Bama homer and he commented on our missing piece being the running backs, I about fell out. He obviously was drunk at noon.
