And why didn’t he push the TE out of bounds in the second to last play of the game? 
 

If he pushes him OOB, then OU is still out of fg range & has to pass on 3rd down instead of running to setup the fg (which turned into a TD).  
 

I guess he just assumes the TE was gonna run OOB?  That’s pitiful.  How you let that happen in that situation is astoundingly bad.  

I don't think this is gonna go how you thought it was gonna go...

Anthony Cook.  About the only time I noticed him all game.  Chance to keep them out of fg range & force a pass on 3rd down.  
 

instead gives up on the play.   Embarrassing 

I only saw that play once so I don't know, but maybe he just thought the dude was gonna go out of bounds, cause that's what you'd expect in that situation, and got surprised when he kept pushing the ball upfield?

No idea if that's case.

If you don't notice a DB all game, that usually means he's doing a good job.  Cook is probably our second best guy on defense, but please go on...

I mean the defense want really finishing plays down the stretch. I guess fatigue could be cited but…kinda gotta find whatever it is to make it happen.

That this is not texags, and we don't start new threads for each new thought we have.

I read the title as who the F are any of the 11 on defense

Most of our DB’s seem to be in love with slinging the offensive players to the ground and going for the strip without help for the tackle or understanding of their location on the field. 
 

Having said that Cook is doing good work at the star/nickel/whateverthefitscalled position.

Cook has been nails all season. Replace him with Jamison and have the 2 deep slide into the other corner spot and we lose by 2 scores.

Doing good work does not excuse him from assuming the TE was gonna run out of bounds.  If put them in FG range & gave them the luxury or running the ball on the last play.

The greater point is that of the 11 problems we have on the field for the defense he’s number 10 or 11. 
 

He didn’t come close to losing the game. There was plenty of fucktardery going on between both sides of the ball, the hedadsets and zebras. 

Jesus this fan base is so dumb

It’s dum that the defender gave up on the play & conceded 10 more yards putting OU in FG range.  
 

The fuck do you know about football?  I guarantee you are WAY behind.  Fucktard

#11 is one of the few defenders who plays angry.

I’m not saying Cook isn’t having a good season overall.  I AM saying he made a huge mistake at a critical time in the game. Shouldn’t have happened.  He isn’t above criticism.

Cook had a good game overall, the loss wasnt on him.

I’m not trying to put the loss on him.  But that play lead to the next, which was a TD run, instead of a pass play from outside Fg range.  
 

mind-numbing decision to not push the TE out of bounds.  I agree that he is a good play on a bad defense, but that was pitiful.

There are minimum 10 different moments in this game involving different players we could point to as the difference in this game, and that not even considering the O-lines awful play in the second half. We make that tackle last play of the game we go to OT..several players either got blocked or out of position in that moment..but it wasnt neccesarily any one of thems fault the game came down to that. The entire defense withered after halftime and offense had trouble moving the ball and scoring until late.

The way yesterday went, if he did shove him the refs would have said the OU guy already had a toe out of bounds and would have called a late hit personal foul penalty.

You keep mentioning FG range but apparently the play in question put them in TD range so you might want to correct that.

Nothing to correct.  Had the correct play been made, OU would have been forced to pass the ball on the next play.  Simple logic.  
 

Really not much to debate about it.
