  1. Two of the four tackles we lost last year were from the portal. Texas as of late has been spot on in their evaluations. Previously at Texas as to why we were mired in mediocrity is one, we didn't pay enough attention to the trenches on either side, two we would get top ten classes, but it'd be lean heavily on skill positions. One thing everyone would tell you is when we lost Couburn and Ojomo to the draft we worried. Then we lost Murphy and Sweat and were about to crap ourselves. Now we lost Norton, Lole, Broughton, and Collins we're like who's next. Kenny Baker has been a wonderful addition to Sark's staff.
  2. Smith is not a polished wideout. He really doesn't run routes. He runs drags and gos. He's not a reciever you want to play trail technique or really try to jump with him. You don't play Smith you play the ball and limit his yard after catch. Otherwise you're just gonna get head tapped on ran away from. Play disciplined in your technique and coverage and you're good.

  4. Whatever you do, DO NOT open the game thread!!!
  5. Definitely makes inside helmet cooler 😂 remember what happened to Sampson when he cut his hair? I'm never cutting my locs.
  6. We're not saying he's not good. We pointed out what he does well. Up and down this thread you'll see where we said he's an extremely talented passer of the football, highly accurate, processes and releases quickly. Pointing out athleticism, escaping ability, or arm strength isn't bashing him. It does and will show up. I truly believe we didn't score more touchdowns in the redzone because of Quinn's arm strength. Sayin is going to do just fine.
  7. Just an observation, but is there a reason that for whatever hash the ball is lined up on that's the side both QBs throw to? They almost never throw backside. Not saying they can't(even if that's how I feel) only that they don't.
  8. I do for a number of reason, but mainly because instead of having a package he'll have a scripted plan that Sark has been implementing all summer. Either way the game still has to be played.
  9. Throwing the ball far isn't arm strength. Quinn could throw the ball 70 yards and nobody here would say he has a strong arm. Arch has arm strength and when he rips it you see it, evidenced by how quickly the ball gets on you. Sayin is a very talented passer and extremely accurate, but when throwing the ball from the opposite hash it dies on him.
  10. I think he's closer to Tua than Quinn because he's a little more athletic than most give him credit for.
  11. That's not what I said. I said I didn't powering the ball in tight windows. I didn't say he didn't have arm talent or inaccurate.
  12. When watching the spring game or his time in against Michigan State I didn't see him powering the ball into tight windows. People confuse being able to throw far and a strong arm. Joe Milton has a strong arm, Will Howard had a strong arm, that's not what you get from Sayin.
  13. Sayin from what little I've seen doesn't have the biggest arm. He thrives in the short to intermediate area, I don't see Day leaving him out to dry on many 5 to 7 step drops. I expect to see them move Sayin's launch point, a lot of screens, hitches, slants, and comebacks. Tackling has to be on point, limiting YAC is the key. In my opinion Smith is big and fast with gold status in head tapping dbs deep. He's not the most polished route runner.
  14. It was said on the live that Julian is comparable to Quinn. I don't see that at all for a number of reasons, for instance, he's more athletic, his mechanics are sound, and he has a much stronger arm. If I were to compare to anyone it would be Alabama Tua.
  15. Crazy that the run block right after this play was even better. The only and I mean only reason he didn't go higher is measurables.
  16. The way I gauged it separation yards between he and the nearest defender. Even on his long score that throw was perfect, the defender gambled and missed. The good thing about throwing outside is everyone is inside. But even still he was getting hawked down, without the key block at the end he doesn't score. I don't see Sark using him like Stanford did. Once Sark shows Stanford the player they couldn't unlock, somebody in Palo Alto is getting fired.
  17. I was just coming to say Jaylan doing Jaylan things
  18. Ole Danny boy looks stupid wearing 47 and still looks like a created player on Madden with every accessory in the inventory
  19. Banks is good. Like real good he just collapsed his side and went on to block the backer on the second level.
  20. Banks look good and Broughton with a fumble recovery.
  21. He'll do better at Texas because he'll have more catch and run opportunities. I like him on third down. Sark knows how to put his guys in position to make a play. I can see intermediate crossers in his future.
  22. He had himself a day yesterday, with a pick 6, and a fumble recovery.
  23. Oh I know you 😂 I'm a 9ers fan that's the only reason for singling out. Personally I don't think the 9ers did him any favors drafting him to s wide 9 defense. He would been better served going to a 3-4.
  24. I mentioned Sark being a better play caller and designer than whatever they have at Stanford. I'm not bashing the young man or saying he can't play. I mentioned everything I liked about his game. I was merely pointing out the speed mentioned here to describe him doesn't show on tape. Fast recievers don't make as many contested catches as he did because they create separation. Whether that be burning you from the jump or the stem at the top of your route.
