    Blake Bell (RS Freshmen QB) has looked sloppy... kinda expected it and he's gonna be a project with tons of potential. He could be the starter in a couple of years.

    I hope Landry Jones can keep getting better.. i'm looking forward to seeing a lot of the young WRs stepping up this season. Justin McCay could be a future star here.

    Don't get me started. Bert knows where I'm coming from. Gilbert has to prove to me that he's a "winner". So far, I've seen nothing resembling that...at all. He's a junior next season, so it's time to "go big or go bust".

    As usual, I love 'em just the same, so everyone can kiss my burnt orange ass!

    Who's the Red Shirt Freshman for UT? McCoy 2.0 took snaps last year. He's a sophomore.

    Not alot of turnovers, that's all I expect. Also more consistentsy from whoever the QB is. If it's Gilbert, I don't expect to see the same person this year that we all saw last season.

    If things aren't going well to start the season I would say that changes will be made soon. But I'm sure in true Mack fashion, changes won't be made until AFTER the OU game

    1. Our offense will look better based on the fact that we won't have a complete fucktard running it. QB play won't be a strong point. I don't know how any of you can believe that comment. We have arguably the worst QB in all of college football from last year and a RS FR who has never taken a DI snap. Yes they have improved, but being a strong point is stretching it. If anything, our OC will scheme around our QBs and make them look better than they are. Our QBs will go from atrocious to serviceable/decent... not a fucking strong point.

    2. Our o-line looks much better but there are serious depth issues. Those guys coming in the fall aren't going to solve ANY of those issues. One or two injuries and we're going to look like ou's oline in 2009. I don't remember a single season where we didn't lose one or two guys through out the year, so you don't have to be a genius to realize that we're going to struggle at the spot with injuries and depth problems.

    3. Byndom and Phillips are coming along. Well no shit. However, they are 2 inexperienced corners and both will be starting. Can any of you remember the last time we started 2 inexperienced corners and did well in the secondary? Their backups are all true FR. Let's combine that with STILL HAVING NO SPEED at safety. I'm also glad our only 2 options for the nickel package are start 3 first year corners (Byndom, Phillips, Diggs, Vaccaro, Gideon), or have more slow speed on defense ( Byndom, Phillips, Vaccarro, Scott, Gideon). This is going to be a position that will struggle the most, but will also be the position that will have the most improvement at the end of the year.

    4. As far as I'm concerned... Fozzy is still made out of glass and CJ is still a situational/4th quarter back. Brown and Shead living to their hype and potential are the only way our RB unit will look great. I'll wait till we see Brown in uniform before I judge this position.

    5. Our DL will be much improved... especially in pass rushing situations. The younger DTs are getting better everyday, but they are still way behind Randall and what we need next to him. The good news is that this position should be good and we have plenty of depth (although lots of it still out of shape). An injury to Randall and we will look like last year. As far as the DEs... we've got amazing pass rushers. But they all need lots of work as far as defending the running game.

    6. Our LBs will be amazing. I agree with that.

    7. Our WRs will be amazing. I agree with that.

    8. In a scheme where the TE position is crucial, it sucks that we are lacking big time at this spot. We still have NO ONE at TE. It amazes me how we haven't recruited a single true TE since Irby. We recruited guys that either cannot catch, or too many fucking tweener WRs. This is still the weakest position on this team.

    So in short.

    QB- okay
    RB- okay to good
    WR- great
    TE- abortion
    OL- okay to abortion
    DE- good
    DT- good
    LB- great
    DB- okay to abortion.

    Best bet is that this team will be 8-4. At worst 7-5 and at best 9-3.


    Who brought the good news bear? Some one should give him some fucking honey. And who is saying the QB position is going to be a strong position?

    Did you watch the WR's last year? If so, what makes you think they are going to be great? Unless they learn how to block downfield and run proper routes, it's going to be the same shit from them again.


    I think 8-4 will be a good start for the new coaching staff

    Can't wait to see a "new" offense in the spring game. Wondering how vanilla it will be though.
    What are you expectations at QB for UT?
