September 26, 20232 yr Popular Post We have been using the RB talk thread and it's time we started a dedicated thread for Jonathon in the football board. This was leading into the season. Let's get some highlights and appreciation going up in here.
September 27, 20232 yr Popular Post Roschon passed the bad motherfucker baton to Brooks when he left.
September 27, 20232 yr He’s surprised me. His burst and top end speed are much better than I expected. Runs tough too. Sometimes players keep getting better.
September 27, 20232 yr Need to start a burnt fund for this young man. Without him our running game through 4 weeks would be pretty spare with Baxter injured.

September 27, 20232 yr He was ranked as the 25th rb coming out high school. Look at the list now, not many if any I would take over him.

September 27, 20232 yr His practice and camp production as well as mop up time has looked good the past few years so it’s not a total surprise but he’s better than I thought he was going to be with the lights on him.

The QB recruit got better as a RB than the RB recruit has yet, you don't say. RoJo deserves all the credit for what he did and the plays he was counted on to make happen. Again no need to downplay him to hype Brooks. This is fucking stupid to even have to say in a thread devoted to a different player.
September 27, 20232 yr I have to take my lumps because I was ready to go straight to Baxter after the Rice game. So glad I was wrong. He is great to watch.

September 27, 20232 yr Glad to see someone else make the JC comparison. I had been thinking it but no one else said it so I figured I was just koolaid drunk again.

Love how he seems to run better in the late 2nd half of games. Edited September 27, 20232 yr by Coach pop a bitch

This is fucking stupid to even have to say in a thread devoted to a different player. I agree. I'm not sure why Roschon was brought up. But, if they're going to be compared, I'm going to point out that the comparison is between a 4-year player and a sophomore. I think Brooks still has more upside to show us.
September 27, 20232 yr Popular Post Camar Wheaton LJ Johnson were the top RB targets in that 2021 class. Wheaton got hurt and was never the same, and LJ has done nothing. Brooks turned out to be the best back in Texas that year.
September 27, 20232 yr I too like the description of him as a glider and the JC comparison. He looked great every time he’s had the ball in the past but you never know if that was because he was fresh and defenses were gassed. he showed good patience on a couple of the runs last game. he let his blocking develop and accelerated through the hole.

September 27, 20232 yr Watching him in a few games in high school was something else, he averaged 12 yards a carry. Sucks he had the winning pass thrown on him in the state championship game in overtime on a weird trick play.

September 27, 20232 yr He reminds me of Arian Foster. Runs upright but maintains tremendous balance. Great acceleration

I also think despite a couple drops, Brooks is a really good receiver like Foster. I will be really interested to see what Brooks runs at the combine. I think he is faster than I thought he was. A slower version of Charles is also pretty decent comp that someone made.

Brooks turned out to be the best back in Texas that year. I never would've thought that 2 years later both them fools would be JAGs at SMU and here's Brooks grabbing the lead back job by the horns. He runs strong and with balance, I really like watching him. I know Sark is super high on CJ (and his pedigree speaks for itself being a 5 star), but watching Brooks during the Alabama and Wyoming games made me a believer. If its not there, he'll put his head down and fight for 2-3. But you give him daylight and he'll turn it into a huge chunk.
