OTF Premium Defensive Player Availability (Wednesday AM)

[harveycmd]

I remember watching the evening news on 10 November 1989. I was a freshman at Texas then, 17 years old. It was the day after the Berlin Wall fell. Reporters were in the oval office talking to President Bush and Secretary of State James Baker. The reporters were trying to get them to act excited and gloat over winning the Cold War. Bush and Baker wouldn't even raise an eyebrow. They just excoriated Bush for not showing more "emotion." At the time, I knew he couldn't do it and wondered what they were trying to accomplish. The Soviets still had nuclear weapons and it was an extremely volatile time. News people knew the deal, but they pushed just get a "story." Glad that's not happening now.

Taaffe says the move to CB for Jaylon Guilbeau has been natural after playing the spot in HS.

Colin Simmons has had a lot of high praise for what LaAllan Clark has done for him in his development as a player.

So lucky to have a dedicated EDGE coach on the staff now and it happens to be the best in the biz.  No more basic bull rushes and more development of a pass rushing bag

[CJ Vogel]

In regards to the starting rotation in the secondary, Taaffe says Akina’s desire to get the five best DBs on the field at any position drives each practice. 

Goes back to Rod Baber’s point on versatility in the secondary.

Michael Taaffe says the Texas locker room is completely naive to the portal and other outside NIL conversations. Says no one is paying attention to situations like Nico Iamaleava.

Michael Taaffe says he is working on consistent talking. 

Mentions wanting to tackle lower this year. 

Added a joke about tackling high on ball carriers 

What's the joke?  Can you share 🤘

I presume it is a reference to the controversial non-targeting call in the Peach Bowl.

Simmons says LaAllen Clark switched up his pass rushing stance a little bit, he says it will help him get even faster off the line in 2025.

Are you suggesting that we should not act excited and gloat about the state of OU's program because they may possess nuclear weapons? 

[alrightalrightalright]

A couple great nuggets of info here:
 

• Bo Barnes tied to Anthony Hill's hip
• Colin Simmons' BGO is even faster thanks to LaAllen Clark (WOW)
• Lance Jackson is looking like a stud
• Trey Moore + Brad Spence LB combo

Thanks CJ!
