August 1, 20223 yr Appreciate the recognition for the guy, but damn they are hyping the heck outta this guy so much that even if he performs better this year, it will seem like a disappointment.
August 2, 20223 yr What would your expectations be for a smallish guy with relatively limited experience with guys in front of him that neither make plays nor command double teams? Then to top it off, your edge guys get cute by dipping inside on occasion or flat out getting too wide or too far up field. And some of those 30 yard rips off the edge? DBs not only failing to contain but blocking themselves out of the play or not even being blocked playside and doing nothing.Along with trying to get some insight into PKs mindset, I’d like to have a legit discussion with the LBs. If I’m playing inside to outside, I wouldn’t expect to read the play, contend with an OG or OT while checking inside then expect to flow to C or D gap to sideline extended to make a damn tackle on a D1 RB cause whoever is on the edge blows contain. Cause guess what if you’re so damn intent on making that play, you’re likely vulnerable to over pursuit and possibly screwing over your teammate who has an expectation of you doing your job. If that’s the defensive design then it is dumbassery.For this past season, had we had Derrick Johnson, it wouldn’t have been the same one you remember. He would have to contend with his weakness every play which is fending off blockers. And you know what you call a guard who can’t consistently win against a LBer? Shitty.We had 11 dudes on the field each play. Every one was capable of screwing it up. DMO was probably the closest one to overcome that by making a play.Sorry for the rambling. I’m just preparing to cuss the coaches come game day.

Reminds me of Breckyn Meyer with his arm bands instead of hair. His launch angle and play reads need more work. It’s nice to have a solid leader on defense, but it’s hard to get everyone to do the right thing on D when the captain is a 5th year senior making the same mistakes.

He plays hard so that’s a good place to start. He did miss last spring in a new scheme so the extra work should be beneficial. Maybe he can have a Malcolm Rodriguez type final season. If he was a legit 220, we should expect up and downs in that scheme as that is a big ask with his height and weight.

Should the school/program not acknowledge when it's players are on these watch lists?

August 25, 20223 yr Never thought I would say this about Wrangler but a few of those college items look pretty damn sharp.
September 19, 20223 yr Popular Post Klatt is the antithesis of that douche Herbstreit. He’s so good for College football.
September 19, 20223 yr How the hell is he in East Texas? Didn’t we have practice today?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
September 19, 20223 yr My question is with practice and game tape watching this am what the hell was he doing over there still?
September 19, 20223 yr Wouldn't face charges in Austin for that amount so doubt he would be suspended.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This is extreme speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was visiting his family since he just had a son. He's originally from Tyler which is right next to Van Zandt county.

September 19, 20223 yr Well that's one way to not have to worry about if he would be available for the first half of the Tech game.

He should be entering Smith Co through Henderson Co on Hwy 31. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
