Practice Report From The Asset

Thanks, Jesus and asset.

Def. good news concerning Cobbs

I’ve been dying to see Cobbs show his stuff. Beyond blitzes, he could be special in coverage and against spread teams.

wow. great news on demarco. hope he’s available for isu. and love to hear that the d is working the kinks out. not a moment too soon.

thanks for the two reports. much appreciated.

And after I thought you had been buried, you rise again. Man Jesus I missed your reports.

Badass report. Thanks. Really good to hear about Case connecting deep. I’m guess Harsin is having him throw those routes for a reason.

I played during the veer era. We had no run fits, and we liked it. What is a run fit?

Can’t wait to see Edmond, he’s going to be a beast.

Thanks, JS! Appreciate all of your work. Great read tonight.

With Edmond taking snaps with the 1’s.. is it situational? Or are we removing Keenan from the field slowly?

Thanks for both reports today by the way! I feel like I just bought the biggest crack rock on earth after 2 weeks of being broke.

I think he pretty much said that Edmond’s presence was consistent with preparing for OU. At least that’s how I read it.

Thanks, JS. This staff has earned some trust as teachers of our young players. The practice set-up (vanilla and physical) is probably just what they need at this point, particularly with a weekend off to heal up.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s Q&A.

When does the misinformation campaign begin for OU? Signal with a backward hook em

great stuff as always Jesus.

I dont wanna brag (not really) but i believe that somebody (thumbs pointed at myself) predicted back when the cobbs injury news first broke that he could be back fairly soon. At least that guy (thumbs still pointed at myself) left the door open while others (middle fingers pointed at all of yall) were declaring him as a redshirt lock. now i dont really feel like looking up that thread or anything but if i am challenged to a duel, i shall accept.

in all seriousness though, i’m pumped that he’s back. he obviously has the potential to add tons of versatility to manny’s scheme. also, with harris’ injury, would i be correct to assume we’ll see more miles onblegpuñe and not darius white? white obviously has an apathetic blocking style which would directly contradict what we are trying to do as an offense, imo.

Dave – “run fit” is just a concise phrase for gap assignment against the run. It’s a tough issue for LBs in Diaz’ scheme because you’ve got 7 or 8 defenders to plug up to 8 gaps and all the LBs have to be on the same page as to who’s got which gaps, and whether someone’s covering two gaps, and understand how those assignments change as TEs, FBs, etc. go in motion.

Calling it “run fit” is a bit more appropriate in Diaz’ scheme because it’s strictly for the run. On passing plays the pass-rushing defenders aren’t forced to use any gaps by the scheme, they just start off toward a certain gap at the snap then run to daylight.

Good report, glad to hear Ash is working on plays from the pocket, must mean he is taking snaps under center. He was pure spread in High School. How great will it be to have a real 2 deep QB spot ? Harsin so far has gone far above my expectations as a QB coach,and both Ash and McCoy have a great future it looks like.

Are we shoring up our special teams? The kicking game and kick coverage have been bad to mediocre.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Thanks for the great posts today!

Edmund is a spooky guy. For some reason the dude reminds me of Sonny Liston. Just reeks of violence.

Pleased to hear that Case is showing something on the deep throws. That’s been one of my reservations about him all along.

Sinless- completely agree.. Kick coverage has been flat ass terrible! To me it looks like lack of effort, everyone is jogging down the field, where is Beau Trahan when you need him? Oh yeah Waco..

Thanks, JS. You’re the best. News on Demarco Cobbs is extremely gruntling. Can’t wait to see what he brings to the field. I want to see Landry dazed and confused to the point that he’s throwing balls to our guys. I get this feeling that even if we don’t be OU, we really gonna shock them with what we bring to the game. I have a feeling they are a tad overconfident right now.

Against spread teams, a linebacking corps of Cobbs, Hicks, and Robinson is going to be tough.

Next years starting lb core: Hicks, Edmond, Cobbs.

Jesus.

I am so glad the coaches are reading our blogs and doing what we tell them to do.

Good stuff. Thanks as always.

Wish that the O vs. D competition was a little more even, but the good thing is that the O doesn’t rely on brute force to work, even on the power plays.

I think the best news is that the LBs are learning their run fits. Hopefully in 2 weeks they are at 100%. The other best news is that Case is working on long passes. I agree that he can’t be asked to throw deep outs and across the field, but he should be able to stretch the field vertically on gos, fades and some posts. The issue is timing. He’s not going to throw it 60, more like 30-40 so he has to read the play quickly and get rid of the ball. I’m sure that will be a constraint on the offense this year unless Ash’s package grows to engulf the whole play book.

Thanks for the data.

Edmonds could just as easily be getting ready for ISU. They gashed us up the middle last year, kind of like every team did.

I really hope Cobbs is available. He could give Texas a lot of versatility in facing OU. With Edmonds and Hicks there as well, these guys should be able to stay relatively fresh the entire game, especially considering that there will likely be a lot of nickel. I only hope one of them gets a good chance to get inside Stills and Broyles’ heads in the intermediate.

Do you see Cobbs playing on kick off coverage unit? We’ve not been good in that area and don’t see a simple fix besides finding a kicker that can boom it into the endzone every time.

Thanks but no news about work on kickoff and punt coverage is bad news.

i hate you all. Suck my beebe balls!

Because my college football coaching prowess is so well known…since we had the bye week, Mack should have posted fliers advertising tryouts for place kickers. First kid to consistently kick it into the endzone gets a scholly and a bucket of wings. Perhaps throw in a party with the chaps girls. Oh, and the last cover man down the field has to give up his scholly and clean up after the party. Just sayin’…

Thank God our run fits are getting better.

After a couple of seasons under Coach Boom and crap rotten defensive technique, taking on bloks with incorrect shoulders, running around blocks, etc….. The biggest turnaround I have seen on this team is defensive.

The offense I understand having some struggles with switching over from being the worst zone blocking team in the nation to a philosophy of man blocking.
