I mean compared to Herman and Strong he’s developing talent…recruiting it too. But it’s like living in the world of the blind, he’s the one eyed king

I question recruiting... both hs and portal.

Kyle Flood’s ability to develop offensive line talent

Jury is still out on this one. We can't knock him for 1 bad season but I'm a little skeptical when everyone was begging for him to switch Hutson to LG and Robertson to C for most of the season last year.

You didn’t cite any specific film or any specific sources. You deliberately attacked my opinion of Flood by quoting it and then responding to it. Again if you didn’t cite someone else breaking down film, I assumed it was based on your own eye. If so just add more context to prove your point, if you’re going to specifically quote and attack something I say.

Be blessed.

It’s a football site. No one is attacking anyone. Well, some were close with Zura for no reason but the larger point remains. Disagreeing with someone’s perspective or opinion happens on a sports site. Of course I’m going to poke at what film study have you done? I’m almost obligated to but my original reply literally had its not personal in it. I think it’s past time to move on from flood but I’m really happy to throw some crow down my gullet. I want him to be successful because then our team is.
 

Just offseason fodder.
 

You as well 🙏🏽

Marcus Johnson—what a blast from the past, @Jeff Howe. I still remember back when Marcus Johnson was a lowly-ranked recruit that Texas didn’t have much interest in. And his uncle started blowing up the OB message board with what seemed at the time to be these completely insane, over the top proclamations about how Marcus was going to be a future NFL player. Nobody took him seriously and it became a running joke. Yeah, yeah, Marcus Johnson. He’s not even good enough for Mack to offer, why are we wasting time on this guy when there are bigger fish out there like DGB and Thomas Johnson and Cayleb Jones. 
 

Even after he moved up the rankings a bit, it still felt like he was a long shot to ever play a meaningful down at Texas. But his uncle kept spamming the board with “watch out for Marcus Johnson, he’s the best receiver on the roster.” Everyone continued to laugh. But then the reports started to emerge about how he was one of the hardest workers on the team. And then he actually started to produce. And then he actually had a solid career at Texas. And then he got his shot in the NFL. 
 

Turns out Marcus Johnson and his uncle got the last laugh after all.
