We are the Joneses - The Official Texas Longhorns Athletics Thread

Heard is abou 6'1"-6'2", about 190. Swoopes is about 6'5" 240 with NFL arm strength and nice touch. Watson(the demoted OC) ran a West Coast offense that was apparently complicated with a huge playbook. Swoopes was the most advanced in this offense and his skillset fit it more than any other QB on the roster. In practice, where there is no real pressure and a QB coach is in love with your physical ability, everything is in your favor. Once the lights came on, outside of three games in his career, Swoopes has looked like a deer in headlights. Literally, before the ND, Swoopes was down there looking scared. Mouth and eyes wide open. Also, a lot of things Heard does aren't going to show up in practice drills. The thing that alarms me as well is that Heard looks like a better passer than Swoopes already. His pocket presence is better than Swoopes already. He throws much better intermediate throws than Swoopes. That's to go along with the electric legs and feet we already knew he had from high school. He was a 2-time state champion in second largest division in Texas high school football. He dominated that division. Swoopes could not win in one of the smaller divisions. A lot of coaches simply go with tangible over intangible. I suspect Heard would have passed Swoopes in practice eventually too even in the West Coast offense.

Happiest man at Texas right now: Tyrone Swoopes

Bro did you see before the last TD drive Heard and Strong nodding and hyping each other like "Yeaaaahhhh nikka lets get this W "

Swoopes woulda been straight

Damn that kicker

 

[lightskin jermaine]

this weeks offensive line clips. an improvement from the previous week but still a lot of mistakes.

I'm watching some highlights now, Texas was getting pressure on Goff... Dude is just fukking ice water in the pocket

these internet armchairs would have you think Texas is just all bad, + dude had only 280 yards passing... granted he was like 65 %

also missing Hall and Haines hurt a lot, Vaccaro and Locke were out of position a lot of times

Yeah, I thought the defense played better in the Cal game than they did in the Rice game.

Chip was on the radio yesterday in Dallas. He said Kai is the true alpha male. When Kai got to campus, he called VY and picked his brain about everything. Swoopes and Heard have not done that.

Im rooting for him to get the job. We need a qb who will take initiative

They couldn't cover that Lawler tho. He was making some great catches. But Goff was putting were only he could catch it too.

 

[Spade]

The run defense nauseates me. Rice had their way last year. When Muhammad got that 75 yarder last week, I wanted to throw up. Hate soft azz defenses.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

If I'm being objective...the jury is still out on Heard throwing the football.

That wheel route was open damn near every time. Gotta see how he adjusts when defenses adjust to him.
