Fall Camp

Great concentration. Same body size as LJH, but appears to be a tad faster.

 

We have tons of talent at the WR position. To me the best players should play, regardless of their tenure.

With regard to Burt, while he has always been a speed burner, his hands have been the issue. Job 1 is catching the ball, every ball.

 

Team on the practice field at 430, except you Burt. Get your butt over to the tennis center.

 

Kirko seems fragile, he is talented though

 

Oh crap

 

We beat good *** coverage ...

 

Hit hard ...

 

Talent is useless if you can't stay healthy. This kid gets hurt every time he gets on the field. Shame for him. Needs to retire from football.

 

Won’t have a choice.

 

AAS observations from practice yesterday ... this will make you feel old. They had a 14-year mini reunion of the 2005 Natl Champ team .. wow

Three observations from the fifth day of Texas’ fall camp | Hookem.com

 

One thing I have heard multiple times out of camp is we have players in backup roles at multiple positions that would have been starting in recent years.
THIS^^^^^is what we once had, havent had recently, and need moving forward to "be back".

 

And Casey Thompson starting to get praise...building confidence with staff....good sign.

 

daddy likey

 

I saw enough of Thompson in the Spring game to know that if Sam went down I would be very comfortable with him starting. He would struggle and have growing pains, but our season would not be totally lost with him.

 

Nice article on Brennan Eagles
We gonna be good!!!

 

Damn. That's guy is looking incredibly impressive. And just when all the other Big XII teams were breathing a sigh of relief that LJH didn't return for his Sr season.

 

Hoping he’ll be our new LJordan.

 

Let's hear some opinions on where we think weaknesses or potential weaknesses on this team lie. (Feels great saying that right now because they are getting harder to pinpoint)
Opinions??
The thing we hear most often is youth on defense. Comments out of camp point to fastest, maybe most talented group we've had...though inexperienced.
Let's be specific..dline, oline, rbs, cornerbacks, safety, linebackers, special teams, QBs, wrs, tight ends, fans...all on the table. Let's hear it...
While we're at it....strengths??
Thanks

 

Weaknesses - Linebacker

Strengths:
QB
OL
RB
WR
DL

Coin flip:
Tight end
Secondary (my bet is they will be a strength by the end of season)

 

I am still concerned about punter. I read recently our starter hit 37, 37, 42, then shanked a 20. Inconsistency scares me

 

Great photo!
The kind that will be classic and age well if you really do something together.

 

He was a freshman last year. Well known for consistency to improve each year for kickers and punters. What matters is the ceiling. The ceiling doesn’t change for the better, but the consistency does.

 

My biggest concerns in order:

LB
DL
TE

Team is going to greatly miss Beck at TE - leadership, blocking and key catch here and there.

 

If you were not already fired up about the idea of JWhit in the backfield, watch this drill clip

 

Wholeheartedly agree on Beck, though I think we are generally getting stronger at that position.
Anybody know who is the frontrunner at this point to start there?

 

Everyone I saw thompsom play, he hit like this.
Love this kid.
