Nope, didn’t say that either. Helm was a great player, just wondered why we didn’t use Niblack more, because he is a home run threat with his speed. Someone answered above and said he didn't block. I pointed out neither did Helm, so that didn’t answer my question, then someone pointed out that he didn’t know playbook, that did answer my question. It was over. Then the dicks like you come in that don’t read, so I have to type all this.

Yeah, never said his blocking was good, we just don’t have a good blocking tight end. So let’s throw them some passes. Especially to the fastest ones.

That makes sense. Maybe he can do both, bulk up and learn the playbook.

Again, I’m sure it’s his size (Niblack) and maybe he can bulk up and get to where they need him, but a missed block is a missed block. I saw Gunnar Helm standing straight up a lot after a busted play this year and his man making the tackle in the backfield or near the line of scrimmage. Again, don’t want to talk down a great player for the university, he added way more than he messed up, but he was a liability as a blocker. And ai do realize a 5tool TE is like finding a unicorn, so let’s get them a rotation and some run and see who flies.

I don’t get this. I’m not behind the scenes, but play the talent. Amari Niblack should have gotten more run. Gunnar Helm was great, but his blocking was and is very suspect. I don’t care, he is a good player and we didn’t have anyone better to block unless we used the 6 line package (which we should have). He could catch, but so could some other tight ends.

Respectfully, you are. 4 top 5 classes in a row. Remember how it used to go? Develop SOME players. We have QBs, Oline, RBs, and WRs in the pipeline. Should we supplement? Yes, is the sky falling, no. All we really need is a couple of proven receivers maybe to go with what we have. The rest would either be a luxury, or potential players that might push out someone else. Portal goes both ways.

Jamal Holloway or Troy Aikman ?

No, Sam could have stayed. He debated staying. Wanted a new start.

Love Quinn, but Sam.

IMHO, I think Florida the most dangerous team mentioned above. Until we see portal shake ups at QB.

Not just running, but Arch’s ability to move in the pocket and sense pressure, or stay in the pocket should make a difference. He already keeps his eyes up when he scrambles, and assesses what he has downfield before taking off. He will be a first year QB though, so he might need some time to rev up. Expectations should be managed accordingly. Also, agree with assessment a couple of posts up on TE, we have some athletic young guys that are faster and better athletes than even the last two years. Could be a surprise.

It was an amazing performance from the coaches and players (execution) to game plan out the best offensive player in college football.

Thankful for Quinn. Lifetime longhorn. I’ve had my criticism, but way more good than bad, and some shake your head great. Some shake your head the other way, but hey, we are all human. He sacrificed a lot for the university. Which him well.

Ok that was on oline

Sit in the pocket and deliver. Two sacks on Quinn. And I don’t want any of you no. Football playing/knowing people saying that was on o line.

Yes and yes

Oh we still have this thread? I forgot about it, Aggie hasn’t played football in a while.

Defer. We don’t start fast, and Quinn has a history of needing to settle into the environment. If we go 3 and out, or heaven forbid, turn the ball over we would be way behind the 8 ball. I know they start fast, but I trust our rested defense more than the offense starting well.

Texas- 27 Ohio State- 20 Texas silently tired of hearing how they are going to lose all week, and elite athletes finally play to their full potential. And Quinn balls out against his former team and coach to prove something.

Ok, I get it. Sorry

What the heck does Dan Lanning have to do with Sark? This thread is about Dan Lanning leaving.

And we nearly guarantee no experience for backup that might actually be a starter later, and that is if the QBs (Trey Moore primarily) we recruited and put so many resources into doesn’t transfer. These kids aren’t just going to wait around at QB. They want to play. We are getting a little arrogant with the portal IMO if we try that, it’s a balance. This is an emergency QB, and someone for reps.

To be fair, he just said he’s not worried about being the underdog (Vegas), because they’ve been that all season, and even before the season. It’s very mild trash talk, if any. The QB now, said he wants to be the best QB on the field, or outplay Quinn, still mild, but more directed to a player that can use that.

If Auburn or any other school get enough players it won’t be a losing season. A team can potentially, if they can quickly acclimate the players and create a culture (hard to do), turn a team around in a season or two. This is one of the reasons for the parody in college football right now. At least we can pay players now as well. It used to be under the table and we were not going there (as much). Auburn won a national championship with Cam Newton in a one year turnaround before the portal and NIL era. Yiu don’t think they have the will and money to do it now? These kids are sold money, but also the pitch that we (Auburn or paying school) are willing to go out and get them players to win.

Are they both 1000 all purpose yards at this point? Just looked it up they are.
