We Talkin' Bout Longhorn Practice!

a possible leg injury, out for at least 6 weeks.

Hooray!

But I really would have rather heard that Davis was on “a whole nother’ level”…

Nobody that has followed Jaxon’s recruitment and career is really all that surprised that he’s killing it!

I’ve never understood why receiver’s drop balls. As a former nickel back and FS it just never made sense to me. I can understand other aspects for failure… but if the ball hits more than just your fingertips you should be reeling it in. Why some of these guys don’t spend more time in front of the jugs machine I’ll never understand… :(

that’s awful news about Fera!

One goofy question . . .If Edmonds has great hands, am I crazy for wanting to give him a few plays on offense in three TE/goaline sets?

He doesn’t play every down on defense, right? So it’s not like the situation where a guy playing both WR and DB could get up to 100 plays if you weren’t careful.

Manna from heaven aint shit.

Interesting about Cobbs, though I can’t imagine him ever coming off the field in the (mostly) pass-whacky Big XII. Also, does Mack Brown think that Ash is the “clear starter,” or does that come from Harsin/White/players?

but I require detailed descriptions of today’s custom practice jerseys. Fashion-forward? Sweaty-chic? What’s the low-down?

Love the “let’s score on the offense” mentality for the defense. It certainly won the A&M game for us, and we’ll likely need it again this year.

If we get even average competency out of the passing game, we’re going to be a tough draw.

Is pushing those kids to jump routes and strip balls.

Can’t think of any way an OC could take advantage of that….

if the defense can scortz, then gets to go right back out there and do it again. hopefully. at the very least put a few people on their asses and take a break on the side lines.

We know from week 4 on, we are going to get stacked D’s to stop the run…..if our O Line struggles, its going to all be on Ash. If the O Line also struggles also with Pass protect….its going to be a very long season….we are playing 6 Ten Win Teams starting with Ok State.
Any O line concerns ?

Granted I expect them to be better…..that being said, if we experience anything like what happened to OU this last week, then I can see difficulty in Ash having enough time. No holes being opened for the running game and a pressured ash scares me. (See Missouri game)

The weatherman brought cool air from the north this morning.
Cobbs could play Option QB if they would let him.

somebody who can catch sounds promising.

For all of the improvements we have all talked about leading into this season (better OL play, more competent QB, Mike Davis reverting back to 2010 form, etc.), the one thing that is jumping out at me when I read all of the practice reports is that the incoming class is going to give us a helluva lot more speed on offense.

The last two years, we were essentially limited to DJ Monroe being the one guy that could take it to the house any time he touched the ball. With Marcus Johnson, Daje, JGray, and Kendall Sanders all apparently impressing, we are going to have a lot more weapons that can break explosive plays at any point.
