Moderators Popular Post CJ Vogel Posted Sunday at 02:41 AM Moderators Popular Post Posted Sunday at 02:41 AM I will have more Sunday, but the first text I received back from a source regarding the Saturday practice. “The defense is going to be unbelievable.” Texas will be in full pads all of next week. 68 2 Quote

VaHorn Posted Sunday at 02:58 AM Posted Sunday at 02:58 AM You never read any preseason practice reports? I believed those just like I believe this one. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed this time. But they were equally emphatic. 2 Quote

HookemHorns Posted Sunday at 05:38 AM Posted Sunday at 05:38 AM I do think the front 7 is as talented of a front 7 as I’ve ever seen at Texas. Questions remain at DB for me but I’m definitely hopeful Taaffe and the coaches get those guys ready to play. Quote
AusMOJO Posted Sunday at 08:51 AM Posted Sunday at 08:51 AM You gunna get your socks knocked off, your lunch money stole and be happy about it. This D going to cause teams nightmares. 1 Quote

Tons of talent waiting in the wings for their chance to get a spot. McDonald, Guilbeau have experience. Muhammed is that guy. Taaffe is our boy. Now they just need to pair with someone at S. I'm certain Williams will earn his way back, but I think there's a few guys there that could push in (one being McDonald) and the other likely Filsaime. Can't forget a guy like Black at CB. Most of these guys have some experience and I think we'll be fine. But that's just my burnt orange glasses on take, lol. 3 Quote
bourbasted Posted Sunday at 09:29 AM Posted Sunday at 09:29 AM The defense is absolutely stacked. We're finally out of rebuild mode and into reload mode, and we have some damn good ammo. 1 Quote

From what I've been reading, the DBs are happy because they are going to be helped by a better pass rush. The D-Line is happy because they think they might get a few coverage sacks. And everyone is saying that the linebackers are always in the right place. Dat's a long day for opposing offenses. Quote
dwmundy Posted Sunday at 01:04 PM Posted Sunday at 01:04 PM I’ve watched a few games from last year back and what Baker is saying about playing the DL less but wanting them to be more impactful on their reps is real. Texas let a lot of teams back in the game last year due to a stagnant offense and a defense that ran out of gas. Arizona state is a prime reminder of that. I don’t see that happening on this years defensive line. I think we could genuinely go 8 DTs deep and 6-7 DEs deep. Quote

I left a ton of names off this list and I'm not even sure that Filsaime is "that dude" so to speak. Quote
