51 Days Until Kickoff: Who Is The Best No. 51?

I knew Scholtz when he was knee high to a grasshopper. Whole family was tall. And he did great in the NFL. I vote for Scholtz HOOKEM -
I certainly understand people playing off the ball and underneath throws converting the first as frustrating. Some of that to me falls on the player. Just because we’re off the ball doesn’t mean you can’t attack the ball or receiver. Certainly with that comes risk. I always refer back to Rod Woodson with the Steelers. He played off quite a bit, but he was aggressive downfield. He was susceptible to double moves at times for this reason. I don’t recall complaints about their defense lacking aggression. Different era though so that plays into it. I was very hopeful that Will would have become coach those many years ago. I’d love to have played for him. If I thought about that, he might be my number 1 choice of all time in that regard. So that’s how I feel about him.

No. 51 is one of those jersey numbers that doesn't have a long list of household names, but these three are pretty easy to separate once you dig through the history... 1. Stan Thomas (OT) Thomas was a First-Team All-American and First-Team All-SWC selection in 1990, helped lead Texas to a Southwest Conference championship and became a first-round NFL Draft pick (No. 22 overall) by the Bears. That's a résumé nobody else wearing No. 51 can match. 2. Bruce Scholtz (LB) If there's someone who can make a case against Thomas, it's Scholtz. He was a First-Team All-SWC linebacker, piled up 351 career tackles (still among the best in school history), and was a second-round NFL Draft pick. One of the most productive linebackers Texas has ever had. 3. Donald Hawkins (OT) Hawkins rounds out the list. He started 24 games at left tackle, earned Second-Team All-Big 12 honors in 2013, and went on to play in the NFL. He doesn't have the accolades of Thomas or the career production of Scholtz, but he's the clear No. 3 for me. The current No. 51 is offensive lineman John Turntine III out of North Crowley.

More Shady Texas Tech/Attorney General info

Apparently, Paxton's price tag/corruption was higher than thought. The Texas Tribune reported today that Paxton received $275K from Campbell the day before he intervened. -
Agree that PK was good at not conceding the run. Imo, we conceded short passes. Playing off receivers, particularly on thrd downs, was my biggest complaint. I thought this left the D on the field too long, which is real problem with a quick strike O. Just thought it caused issues with TOP, evn though I'm not as concerned about that as many.

I’ve come to appreciate Wisner more over time. You highlighted the big games, but his effort was pretty consistent. Believe two years ago he was top 3 in yards per carry in the conference. I have a different view of PK. I don’t view taking away the big play as bend but don’t break. We don’t concede the run and have been top 25 in 3rd down conversion rate the past 3 years. I’d venture to say he mixes it up quite a bit. No, he’s not a press man coverage guy. That is difficult to find 3, 4 guys that do it well enough consistently so for many teams it’s better to make that the change of pace than the base defense. This season the change at both spots will likely downplay Wisner and PK. Thats not to say that’s not part of the reason, but we’re primed to be better this season had those changes not been made. I do think the schedule allows us to ease into the season a bit better than last year too. I’d say 10-2 regular season is the minimum number of wins.

Surely you are not this dense. PK was a good coordinator. No one, including myself is saying he wasn’t. Sark obviously felt he wasn’t the best option against a nine game SEC schedule so he made the change to Muschamp. Please share where I said PK had any impact on our offensive struggles. Let me help you out champ. Our O struggled due to a subpar offensive line, average skill players and a new starting QB. You don’t have to be a mental giant to understand that two truths can happen at the same time.
