Arch is fine. The OL and coaching, not so much.

Let’s look up the definition for “click bait” in the dictionary.

Where did you hear that? Curious because I didn’t notice any upgrade in play when Neto was in earlier this year. You’ve made previous references that you’ve studied the all 22, maybe you saw it there and can share the link.

I agree with most of your post, but not that part. Sure, we’ve missed on some OL prospects in past cycles and relied on players down the list, no doubt. But the two you mentioned (Mills and Fasusi) are true freshmen, so they don’t really support the “too much hope in youth” argument for this team. The guys we’re actually playing are older than both. Only one is a second-year player, the rest are third and fourth year guys. This isn’t a young group, they’ve had plenty of time in the program. Also, Neto’s been here four years now, he just hasn’t developed for whatever reason. That’s not a youth problem, it’s a recruiting, evaluation, and development problem, compounded by coaching and scheme issues.

This is just pathetic journalism. “Synonymous with failure” give me a break. The same people who hyped him up can’t wait to see him fall.

He played better in games than Stroh, Stroh practiced better. Staff valued practice over games and benched hiM because of that. My guess is Neto vented about being screwed over when game performance proved he should be starting but he’s not in this lame “circle of trust”

Any more insight on Neto, like did something specifically happen or just didn’t cut it?

He’s a little awkward on slants, but I don’t generally buy that. If it’s truly quick, there’s not much else you can do. Set your feet and rip it.

His dad is excited. Level 1.

I am downsizing and have quite a collection of magazines with Texas players on the cover, plus media guides, primarily during decade of the 90's. I want them to go to good homes. Message me if interested. I will pay for shipping. Thanks.

Sark has great play designs. I think one play you might be wanting is the 2nd play of the game versus UTEP. Well executed. Simple execution. I don’t recall seeing it since then. Not sure we saw it prior to that. Hes got a ton at his disposal that could help. Like maybe someone WR other than Wingo gets a carry. Sometimes his good stuff disappears for too long.

My guess is Neto got his jock in a snag over getting beat out by Stroh. Then Brooks lapped him. At the these levels accepting coaching determines who gets in the rotation.

Yeah, this is a dog house thing at this point. There’s no way that Brooks is already better than Neto at this moment.

This was why everyone was mad about it - how the hell was it that we saw it and they did nothing to experiment? Like that’s insane.

Nah, Hutson needs to be at LG or bench. If we lose this weekend the whole line should be shifted to young. Baker isn’t that good either. Goosby - Hutson/Kibble - Robertson/Cruz - Campbell - Brooks/Baker It’s a shame that Flood but most likely Sark did Neto the way they did. So what he didn’t practice as well as Stroh because he damn sure played better in games than Stroh How do you go into a bye week knowing what you have on the line and make no changes in practice leading into Florida game? Just malpractice.

I'm keeping it the way it was for the 2H of the Florida game. If there was a better option, I believe the staff would have deployed it by now. At least, that's what I would like to believe. The three cupcake games to figure this out clearly didn't prove to mean anything.

I don’t think it’s that simple. For some reason Arch gets flat footed & stares down his target in the quick game.

@CJ Vogel who are you putting out there for your starting 5 on the o-line?

Fortunately, we have seen the worst at Nick Brooks at LG. At least now going into TX/OU he will at least have seen a snap at the position in some capacity during practice.

Sure, I’m fine with that concession. But not being able to see Stroh is clearly not the answer until the Florida game is just crazy. There were guys on this board, me and @Hashtag who said Stroh was unplayable, Flood kept trotting him out there rather than doing something else (Hutson at guard I guess). Instead they trotted out Nick Brooks, who has never played LG. I mean, what are they doing?

I don't think it will. Zina has carved out a very solid contributing role on this team.

And again, in Flood's defense – While I don't know the specifics (yet) regarding Neto, it's tough when your 4th year expected starter at LG turns out to be completely unplayable the week of the season opener.

I’d add the term athletic into the “tough athletic humans” portion of this post and you are spot on.

My thing is, if sark would just throw to the RBs in the flats , short easy pitch and catch… run those Dlinemen sideline to sideline using tempo. Wearing the opposing d line out and gassing them may be the best way to help the o line get a push. Eventually the back end will start creeping up and that’s when you beat em deep over the top.

Hell yeah, CJ - who do you think we have to blame for that… I’ll give you a hint: K**e *lo*d
