    That much is true, but from what I've seen from the "insiders" I'm not sure they are preparing for the Sark/Arch offense. Sounds like they are thinking we are running zone read and running Arch fiddy leven times instead of stretching the feild and a heavy dose of the running game.

    Just want it to be known that I'm the leader of the Micheal "Mookie" Taafe fan club https://youtube.com/shorts/3jXjavtYM68?feature=shared

    We're just doing what fans do and that's go back and forth. I played safety in high school and was pretty good before tearing up my knee completely so I watch recievers, dbs, and quarterbacks as if I'm studying film. I played like Taafe with more speed and athleticism, but was never going to be a D1 athlete at 5'10" 150 even if preinjury I was high 4.4 40. I always had problems gaining and retaining weight. Still do til this day lol I'm stuck in my high-school body at 45.

    Hills talked about it today on Coffee and Football. He said it'll be up to pain tolerance and wouldn't impact his ability to punch but can be a hindrance in run blocking or a bull rush so we'll see. We don't know if he's wearing a club or not tho.
  12. Dread-headed Texan
    Not move on, but the goal is 16 games and we're going to need him more later. We don't want whatever is ailing him to linger like Bond.
  13. Dread-headed Texan
    At this point he hasn't practiced in forever, play the healthy guys you trust and let him heal completely. You can't miss what you never had🤷🏿‍♂️

    I don't know if anyone else feels like today is flying by, I'm supposed to take ambien to sleep, but bump that you ain't gonna catch me like Lil Nas X walking down the street in my underwear🤣 I've been up since 2 am

    That's all I'm saying is Downs is great at what OSU asks him to do as Taafe is great at we ask him to do.
  16. Dread-headed Texan
    Let me ask if you were a Texas fan and had to cover Ohio State’s recievers with a light box which safety would you want? Of course Sark would choose a 5 star over a preferred walk on. If he didn't that'd be a fireable offense no? But he wouldn't be playing safety, he'd be playing Star.
  17. Dread-headed Texan
    I'm telling you if that's what you expect from a safety Taafe does more with less. He covers everything in our scheme from backs, TEs, slots, blitzing, and covers the run. Taafe plays both high and low and does it as well as any safety in the nation. I'm not saying Taafe is a better football player by any stretch, but I am saying he's a better eraser.
  18. Dread-headed Texan
    I'm not saying that they're wrong, and nobody is talking about Taafe because of his lack of athleticism. Downs is good at playing free and around the ball, but Taafe is an eraser. I don't know how many times a reciever beat a corner and the only person back there to erase that mistake was Taafe. If Downs was that kind of eraser, why didn't they put Downs over Evan Stewart in the first game against Oregon is all I'm saying. It was obvious Ohio State couldn't cover him.
  19. Dread-headed Texan
    We doubted Taafe and have been trying to replace him his whole career, but if you throw at him it's a mistake. When you talk about IQ and always in position to make a play Taafe is one of the best safeties in the game.
  20. Dread-headed Texan
    Taafe in the last two years have 5 picks and 11 passes defended. That's during the same time frame. Like I said as a high safety give me Taafe as a chess peice or box safety I'll take Downs. That's not disrespecting Downs, check the coverage grade and I bet Taafe grades higher.
  21. Dread-headed Texan
    No doubt thats because he's going to test well and Taafe will not.
  22. Dread-headed Texan
    I'm going off of tape though. Go watch the Aggie game, the touchdown he saved against Arizona State, the play he made against Miss State playing from his safety position. He really is a difference maker. As a safety does Downs numbers come close? https://youtube.com/shorts/PFTO6VM3V5k?feature=shared
  23. Dread-headed Texan
    This may seem like a homer comment, but if we're talking pure safety play(eraser and being the communicator on the back end) I'm taking Taafe all day everyday, but if we're talking football player and defensive chess peice. No question, it's Downs everytime.
  24. Dread-headed Texan
    I like Downs in Jim Knowles scheme as the middle safety lurking in an inverted Tampa two, coming up at strong safety playing in the box around the line of scrimmage. As a high safety he leaves a lot to be desired, go watch the spring game or the Alabama/Texas game, Sark picked on him all night. Everytime Sark put Downs in conflict Texas scored.

    There's only one answer, Quinn, without him we're looking back instead of what's to come.
