Malcolm Brown / Aaron Green - Open Thread

Malcom Brown. WOW.

Yes, I was so excited that I misspelled his name. But even if he does nothing the rest of the night, that TD run was enough to show everything he can do. Incredibly impressive.

This has been the most exciting blog evah!!

I said it in the other thread, but Brown needs to lose some weight. Now he looks more Chris Whaley than Cedric Benson.

He’s come on in the second half. Showtime, with the game on the line. Do it, Malcolm.

Ballgame. Steele’s QB fairly well sucks as a passer.

First time I’ve seen Brown live and I was really impressed. Tough runner with outstanding speed, really explodes through the hole. Green, on the other hand reminded me of Fozzy. Not sure he is a take at this point.

Remember the minor league coach who went ape shit a few years back, did the granade toss from the pitching mound, tossed the bases, etc.?

SA Madison grad.

the cosm has us beat 50 to 8 er……. nine

“Green, on the other hand reminded me of Fozzy. Not sure he is a take at this point.”

Green is absolutely a take. I know we’re schitzo on RB recruiting, but I can’t believe we’d take Hills, Newton, and Fozzy but not Aaron Green.

First time I have seen Brown in person and he is much quicker than I expected has good strength, but he is buried in a terrible scheme.

I am truly dumbfounded how many coaches shoot themselves in the foot trying to be smart. You have 4 and 5 and you don’t even use Malcolm as a decoy in play action? Even Davis knew to put the ball in the hands of his best play with the game on the line.

Jinks really got out coached by Streety and if Green doesn’t fumble twice .

Green is much smaller than I thought and I do think it is a consideration. Just because Texas took another small back doesn’t mean Green is a take. To be honest, I don’t see where he fits into a college under the center run based offense at 5’8" and 170.

how big was Jamaal Charles when he was a senior in high school? Green really reminds me of him. He’s going to be good. Brown needs to lose a little weight. He got a lot less help than green though. their OL sucked.. and the QB

A blogpost announcing an open thread??? 105% fantakke synergy,
imo!

Jamaal ran with a lot more power than Green in high school. Green is looking more an dmore like a slot guy than a Jamaal type.

Green isn’t as fast as Charles either.

I should have turned off the comments to keep the simples from eating their own feces.

This pic was taken by Jeff Howe after last night’s game. Green is not nearly as small as some are suggesting.

Malcolm must be sucking in his gut that everyone is talking about.

Malcolm I would be it closer to 5’10" than 6" and as I said elsewhere has a body that reminds me a Ricky. Green has a build closer to Foz or DeSean than Diggs. I saw Foz in high school. saw Hales in high school and saw the very same back in Green last night. Texas hasn’t figured out what to do with those two let alone DJ on offense.

  The next time Mack, GD, and Major ask me what I think will be the first time and only because I am accidentally next to Will and I made a mistake. This is where the true art lies in recruiting in football to me. You look at a kid like Green and try to project his talents in a completely different offense and against a defense much bigger, faster, stronger, and better coached. That wasn’t exactly OU’s front seven out there (yes I know Anderson is going to OU, but he isn’t Alexander or Beal) .

It isn’t a matter of do I think Green has elite talent because he does in great vision, can explode out of a cut, and elite acceleration. It is much like Matt Davis for me. Do his talents fit into what Texas wants to do offensively in the future? Many will say emphatically yes and yet I point again to the fact we are still waiting to see Hales and Monroe put to use in the offense.

Aaron Green will be a playmaker at the next level and will win some games for a team. I hope it’s us. He is strong and fast and cuts to the hole. A couple of runs when there was nothing there he just put his head down and had a burst for a couple of not so obvious yards. Not the Fozzy mentality at all.

Madison already uses him as a specialty type back and not the Big I guy.

Fozzy would put his head down and run guys over all the time in HS.

I agree with Dixie. I saw Foz in high school and he wasn’t afraid to drop a shoulder into a tackler. You don’t play running back at Pearland if your first instinct is to break everything outside. As I said above, difference in doing that to high school defensive backs and guys in college.

Green was the I back multiple times last night and was most effective running that counter toss and then the one isolation to the left.

Agree on his ability to play at the next level. My question is not that but how Texas uses him when they already have Hales, Monroe, Foz, and Diggs.

I wonder how long it takes us to get all over Vincent Taylor (Madison’s #92) for the 2013 class if we haven’t already?

Best looking sophomore defender I’ve seen since David Warren of Tyler John Tyler when they beat us (Westlake) in the state championship game in the Astrodome in 1994.
