   I’d put Miller and Beasley 1 and 2. Orakpo is still more potential than production. I’ve seen Miller and The Bease dominate with my own eyes before. Can you think of a game and tell yourself “Man I’m glad we had Orakpo today, we’d of lost otherwise.” Even with Beasley’s relative youth he still has one of those games — OSU last year.

   Kindle may be 1 halfway through the season, or he many not be on the list at all.

   Again. Harris is the top QB on our depth chart. He is being hosed worse than The Major.

   Your inclusion of Webber, ahead of guys like Buckner and Hales, is curious. I know they’re freshmen, but they’ve made the same number of plays here as Webber.

   Nordberg – fair comment. Frankly, I have no idea what to do with WR past our top 3. Help me.

   In my recruiting review, I said Blake Gideon was a better player than Nolan Brewster. I have no issues with him per se. I’m not surprised to see him contribute. I will be surprised if he’s starting at S when we roll into Boulder, Colorado for our conference opener.

    I think our defensive backfield will be Beasley, Palmer, Scott, Thomas, and Gideon for conference play. They don’t trust Wells at this point, but he could get in there eventually.

    Kirkendoll seems like the #4 WR right now.

    I’d move Cosby up above the RBs right now.

    Tanner might be #20 for me. I’d move Huey up. I think he and Hix are going to combine to be some great ones.

    Move Charlie Tanner down and Webber off the list. Irby up.

    I’ll take a crack at Mizzou.

    Defense

    William Moore
    Sean Weatherspoon
    Ziggy Hood
    Stryker Sulak
    Carl Gettis
    Tommy Chavis
    Brock Christopher
    Justin Garrett
    Castine Bridges
    Del Howard
    Jaron Baston
    Michael Keck
    Chris Earnhardt
    Van Alexander
    Luke Lambert
    Dom Hamilton
    Brian Coulter
    Kevin Rutland
    Steve Redmond
    Andy Maples

    The first three are no brainers. Three years ago the coaching staff said that WillyMo was the best athlete on the team, and he made that obvious in the second half of last year. Word out of camp is that Eberflus has almost invented a new position for Moore, he’ll be playing near the line many times, lots of blitzing, lots of moving him around. Weatherspoon is the best linebacker I’ve ever seen in black and gold, which is certainly a tallest midget in the circus sort of thing. Something clicked towards the end of the year with Hood, and like Zo Williams, he is a disrupter, but unlike Zo, he can actually hold his ground against your average Big 12 guard.

    Sulak is what he is, great motor, great edge speed, but a tweener who struggles some against NFL caliber tackles. Chavis is better rounded and is probably the most likely to take a huge step forward this year. The $64,000 question on defense is whether anyone from the talented d-line recruiting class from last year makes the leap. My money is on Earnhardt or Hamilton, even though Keck was the highest profile of the bunch. He started at LB and is still a little beanpoley, looks like a Sulak clone to me. And, of course, Superman himself, Brian Coulter, who was a victim of the Florida State scandal and subsequent schollie loss.

    Gettis and Bridges are the best corner combo we’ve had in 10 years, the defensive secondary goes 3 deep. I didn’t even include Moye, but he could obviously get on the field this year, and word out of camp is that Zaviar Gooden looks really strong…sort of surprised you guys weren’t on him. This looks to be the best secondary at Mizzou in at least 25 years.

    The achilles heel is depth at d-tackle, unless Maples/Hamilton/Resonno step up, and depth at LB, especially if Alexander isn’t healthy, and Alexander is never healthy. I’m not convinced that LB is a strength, fortunately, there are no more power running teams in the Big 12….

    Offense in while.

13. Scipio Tex said:

    August 7th, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    Thanks, great contributions from all of you.

    TexasFootball, you like the young ‘uns. I guess coaching high school football taught you, if nothing else, that young guys can be taught and retain those concepts under fire. Why do you reckon Bobino is an untouchable starter even under the Mushcamp regime?

    wn8bs:

    Thanks for playing. I don’t pretend to know Mizzou cold, but I had your top five in order before you posted them. It got hazy for me after that. :)

    I guess the big ? on offense for you is Maclin or Daniel at #1? I’m guessing Daniel.

14. vvn8bs said:

    August 7th, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    I’m pretty comfortable with the next four, but it gets hazy after that for everyone. Depends on Van Alexander’s health, and whether any of the youngsters, and the mythical Mr. Coulter, show up.

    Nope, Maclin, and I feel very strongly about it. Daniel is great, but a large part of his value to the program is off the field, I believe, confidence, legitimacy in Texas, etc. Maclin is the reason everything changed last year. Well, Maclin and Moore/Weatherspoon.

15. vvn8bs said:

    August 7th, 2008 at 1:58 pm

    Offense

    Maclin
    Daniel
    Colin Brown
    Coffman
    D Washington
    Kurtis Gregory
    Ryan Madison
    Dain Wise
    Tim Barnes
    Jared Perry
    Tommy Saunders
    Denario Alexander
    Jeff Wolfert
    Jimmy Jackson
    Elvis Fisher
    Dan Hoch
    Wes Kemp
    Jerrell Jackson
    Devion Moore
    LaRoderick Thomas

    The difference between a 10+ win system and Big 12 championship trip and 8 wins and several mid-Missouri suicides rests on the offensive line. This is THE weak link on the team. Two new starters and absolutely no experience or even age in the backup ranks. I couldn’t even find a backup to list outside of Fisher and true freshman Hoch. Terrifying.

    The difference in the 2007 and 2008 Tigers was that we finally established a credible ground threat. Arkansas’s interesting No Men In the Box defensive “effort” aside, that threat came primarily from end arounds to Maclin. The threat of that end around significantly slowed the rush, and kept defenses from successfully running cover 2 and 3 against us.

    The second key to the season will be whether Jared Perry, ittybitty freshman phenom, or Jared Perry, Alligator Arm Sophomore shows up. All he has to do is run seam and corner routes to keep defenses from completely focusing on Maclin.

    I hope to see Coffman downfield more this year, his ability while the ball is in the air is truly extraordinary, much, much better than Rucker. He’s not quite as quick as Rucker, but he just doesn’t need to be open to catch balls.

    Rumors from camp are that Derrick Washington is going to be prominently displayed in the passing game, both from the slot and the backfield; I’m sure Christensen is cackling gleefully at some triple reverse flea flicker that he’ll pull out of his bag against Nebraska….

16. TexasFootball said:

    August 7th, 2008 at 2:30 pm

    Scipio—unless Muschamp is a miracle worker Bobino’s jump the gun fillings and total lack of coverage skills will eventually cancel out his tremendous attitude and leadership skills. Norton missed the spring game with yet another “injury” and that alone would start Bobino over him in fall camp. We need production at MLB if we stay in a three LB unit and truthfully neither Bobino or Norton supplies enough to merit starting in a quality 4-3.

    It’s beginning to sound like Muschamp is laying some groundwork for a multiple nickel that will basically eliminate the need for a triangle MLB. Involving Rak and Acho in two point stances while occasionally dropping Kindle’s hand in the dirt could very possibly be leading to a version of the old numbers defense.

    I really like the direction Muschamp is steering us and I got that nasty feeling that we are finally going to play deserving numbers on defense. Muschamp is very good at providing opportunity/preparation for each player to earn trust which translates into quality snaps once trust has been established in practice. Muschamp is also providing a great opportunity for any player not willing to pay the price to go see grandma and not make their way back.

    I’m not sure that youth was a strong factor on my list as much as play making talent dotted my selections. I will admit that you don’t often find as many young players that completely blend in when scrimming the older vets as we had last fall/this spring. Usually the youth sticks out like a sore thumb because of insecurity and the speed of the game but Hix, Huey, Acho, and Irby (among others) bit the bullet while facing up to a close-up. Others like Carter, Marshall, Snow, Robinson, and McGaskey have a variety of weakness in position skills to develop before they could become production players at a very high level. The difference is time—they have time.

    “The threat of that end around significantly slowed the rush, and kept defenses from successfully running cover 2 and 3 against us.”

    You should be able to run all day against cover 2 or cover 3. That means you’re only facing 5 in the box, assuming 10 personnel. The problem with your running game was simply that Tony Temple was just a so-so back. Ignoring his ridiculous stats against Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, I’ve always felt that Temple was the one player holding Missouri back.

    For Tech as of practices from 8/7/08:

    Offense
    Crabtree
    Harrell
    Rylan Reed
    Vasquez
    Detron Lewis
    Eric Morris
    Shannon Woods
    Ed Britton
    Stephen Hamby
    Marlon Winn
    Brandon Carter
    Baron Batch
    Harrison Jeffers
    Shawn Byrnes
    Mickey Okafor
    Lyle Leong
    Aaron Crawford
    Lonnie Edwards
    Chris Olson
    Tramain Swindall

    Notes: R. Reed protects Harrell’s backside. This offense sucks if that position does. Jeffers, the freshman RB from OK, has been very impressive, especially the first two days of pads. He’s the best pure runner Leach has ever had here. They wanted to redshirt him, but he’s doing everything he can to make that not possible. We’ll see if he hits a wall. Hamby would probably be the guy that most Tech fans would disagree with. However, his versatility as a backup is a luxury for any team. He was the starting center coming out of spring, but when they rest Reed, he’s been sliding over to guard and Vasquez has been playing tackle. Hamby has great feet and has spelled Carter and Byrnes in the past when they’ve had matchup problems with quick, interior pass rushers. This is an option most teams don’t have.

    Defense
    Wall
    Whitlock
    B. Williams
    McBath
    Henley
    Hines
    Duncan
    Bront Bird
    D. Charbonnet
    LA Reed
    Sam Fehoko
    Richard Jones
    Chris Perry
    M. Williams
    Sesay
    LaRon Moore
    David Neill
    Daniel Howard
    Jackson Richards
    Jake Ratliff

    Notes: McKinner Dixon declared ineligible yesterday. Sesay is moving up the depth chart quickly, and for Tech’s defense to be improved by any significant margin, he needs to work out and be receiving most of the snaps in conference. Charbonnet is currently playing better than Anthony Hines and may take his spot. Sam Fehoko is one of the top three LBs on this team and needs to be on the field. Reed looks like he’s been playing CB his whole career after 4 days of practice. This position was a huge question mark for us going into the fall. Neill is a redshirt freshman DT that people have forgot about. He’s outplayed the highly touted Perry to date. Jackson Richards is a junior DE at Southlake Carroll that has already committed to Tech and is expected to be a top 10 recruit in the state. He can’t get here fast enough.

25. BRAGGonUT said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 5:54 am

    Sam Acho goes ahead of every DE not named Orakpo after the two practices I just saw.

26. vvn8bs said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 5:59 am

    I agree that Temple wasn’t all that great. Actually, if you look at his career, you might conclude that he was the type of athlete who needed more than a week between games to recuperate. He had some of his best games in bowls and after long layoffs.

    While I’ll be the first to praise Christensen’s creativity, his use of empty backfields last year came back to bite him big time in the Big 12 championship. Stoops had obviously figured out that when we went empty backfield with Temple in the slot that (1) the middle of the field was unchallenged and (2) nobody was ever going to throw the ball to Temple. In those situations, he moved Lofton out of the middle and over the other slot receiver, usually Maclin. Christensen never adapted by, say, running Daniel on planned draws or sending Rucker or Coffman up the middle seam. We have to be able to threaten runs between the tackles to hold the linebackers.

    I don’t think that cover 2 is necessarily easy to run against, especially in a zone read scheme. In base cover 2, you can have 7 in the box, but also have the CBs spying as they have no deep responsibility.

27. DBH said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 6:00 am

    dedfischer,

    I note with interest your rating of Batch. I had wondered what his future looked like at Tech, realizing he had had some injuries. I assume he’s finally coming on in a big way?

28. dedfischer said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 6:03 am

    One other note on Tech, Seth Doege will more than likely end up being the all time passing yardage leader in NCAA history. It’s not necessarily a function of him being that good (he’s pretty good, though, for a true freshman), but more from Taylor Potts sucking. It’s like having Jeff George or Ryan Leaf run your offense. He’s been good for about 2 or 3 picks a day this fall, while Doege has been steadily improving.

29. RolloTamasi said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 6:06 am

    Sam Acho is fun to watch at practice. Cosby was yelling at him for all his hitting and involvement at the end of plays. He stripped Chiles at the end of a run and seemed intent on becoming involved in every play.
    I’m not sure how Melton is ahead of Acho and Jones but whatever. I haven’t even seen a full-pads practice so I can’t judge.

30. BRAGGonUT said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 6:07 am

    defisher, do you think doege redshirts this year and then beats out potts which would allow him to start 4 years?

31. dedfischer said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 6:20 am

    DBH,

    Batch is a guy I noted in my preview. If you sat down and drew up a RB for this offense, it would like him. However, injuries have limited him, and when he does play, he looks explosive at times and very average at others. His natural instincts as a RB seem to be an issue. I read reports that he has a tendency to just run to the designed hole and ends up missing cutbacks and such. He’ll play, but if Jeffers keeps impressing and Woods appears back to form, his reps may be cut down. Crawford seems to be the guy that is falling back in the pack.

32. dedfischer said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 6:21 am

    BraggonUT, yes, I think that’s what will happen unless Harrell goes down.

    thanks fat water mammal.

    I noticed your D big board is very top heavy with LB and DB talent. Do you feel good about your DL? Are they just block occupiers to free your quality LB corps?

    I was very surprised to see Kerry Meier at 5. More impactful than Marcus Herford and Cantrell to your O? Really?

35. vvn8bs said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 1:31 pm

    KU fans love Kerry Meier more than Mangino loves Crisco. Which is hard to believe, I know.

    Actually, Meier plays the role of Coffman nicely in their offense. Pinkel and Mangino both realize the importance of the large possession guys in the spread. For some reason, Leach prefers his slot receivers in shrinky-dink size, which I think is a significant hindrance to keeping the chains moving.

36. Vasherized said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 1:46 pm

    Welker and Amendola certainly kept the chains moving.

    I could see the score in Lawrence being one of those 17-13 games that gets Mack bent at the knees and Mangino’s heart rate into the 300’s.

37. Scipio Tex said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 1:48 pm

    I have a sneaking feeling we’ll be involved in a number of those games this year, Vasherized.

38. dedfischer said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 1:51 pm

    I would rather have 1 Michael Crabtree, but I would also take 4 Wes Welker’s in a heartbeat. Dude could straight up make playz.

39. vvn8bs said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    Last year, Tech did a decent job of converting on 3rd down, I believe they were in the top 20. IN 2005 and 2006, though, they were abysmal, around 36%. For an offense that prolific, that is awful. I suspect that Crabtree is responsible for much of that upgrade.

    Simple physics dictates that 4 yard slants and hooks work better with 6′6″ targets than with 5′6″ targets.

40. vvn8bs said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 1:59 pm

    Don’t get me wrong, Welker and Amendola are great, but having a couple big tactical weapons is very useful for short yardage situations. Not only as targets, but your bubble screens work better when you have a Coffman or a Rucker leading the charge.

41. dedfischer said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 2:17 pm

    Welker’s senior year in 2003, we converted 52% of our third downs, one of the best in the country. The next season after Welker graduated, we dropped back down to 47%. Welker makes $5 million a year converting 3rd downs.

42. kuelguapo said:

    August 8th, 2008 at 2:33 pm

    as nothing more than an educated guess, i’d say part of why tech’s 3rd down conversion percentage had been so low in the past is because they go for it so much on 4th down that they don’t necessarily have to try to get it all on 3rd. again, i’m not backing that up w/any statistics – mostly b/c i really don’t feel like tracking them down – but it seems like relatively sound logic to me ::shrug::

43. SlickStreet said:

    Scip and TF, glad to see y’all have Houston rated pretty highly among the D’. He sure made a lot of plays last year for a younger guy, I thought. However, with Muschamp’s emphasis and Houston’s size, I can sure see why he’s moved inside. Just wonder how many snaps he’ll get there this year (partly depends on how much Lewis and Alexander contribute there)

45. Scipio Tex said:

    August 9th, 2008 at 10:10 am

    Big Board update 8/9/08:

    Stock rising:

    Michael Huey (took some snaps with 1st team Friday)
    Sam Acho (demanding a starting job)
    Sergio Kindle (appears to be the dedicated edge blitzer in our Buck nickel package; Muschamp on him unrelentingly)

46. vvn8bs said:

    August 9th, 2008 at 10:35 am

    Scip, how does nobody fall if four people rise?

    MU update:

    Dain Wise falling, Austin Wuebbels rising, splitting time with 1st team.

    Andrew Gachkar rising. Was a special teams star as true freshman LB last year; this offseason had a little problem that required 20 hours of surgery and a rib removed, and is back on the two deep. I assumed he was going to RS this year.

    Jerrell Jackson rising, Wes Kemp falling. Looks like Jackson is going to play…we were his only offer out of Houston. How does that happen? June Jones couldn’t use any receivers?

47. dedfischer said:

    August 9th, 2008 at 12:03 pm

    Rising is Jackson Richards the soon-to-be junior DE from Southlake Carroll. 3 RBs averaged almost 10 yards per carry in practice yesterday.

    Cover 2 against 10 personnel, you’re going to see 5 in the box. If you have 10 personnel on the field, and you see 7 in the box, Missouri is passing the ball.

50. dedfischer said:

    August 9th, 2008 at 3:50 pm

    Tech Update: Leach scheduled a 2nd practice today after the first one because Harrison Jeffers ran all over the first team defense behind the scout team OL.

    I guess the silver lining here is that Tech may finally have a it’s first RB since Bam that can break an arm tackle, and Jeffers is making a strong case not to redshirt.

51. dedfischer said:

    August 9th, 2008 at 4:55 pm

    One guy who did stand out on defense was Sesay. He’s jumped up on the big board to the spot between Charbonnet and Reed. He’ll be starting in Ratliff’s place by conference for sure, but most of our guys think he will be starting by the opener.

52. Kafka said:

    August 9th, 2008 at 5:12 pm

    Offense (20)

    Colt McCoy
    Cedric Dockery
    Kyle Hix
    John Chiles
    Fozzy Whitaker
    Vondrell McGee
    Malcolm Williams
    Chris Hall
    Adam Ulatoski
    Michael Huey
    Charlie Tanner
    Quan Cosby
    Jordan Shipley
    Cody Johnson
    Blaine Irby
    Chris Ogbonnaya
    Tray Allen
    James Kirkendoll
    Brandon Collins
    Dan Buckner

    I added Cody Johnson to the list and got rid of Webber. UT has needed a guy like Cody ever since they blew off Javorskie.

    I moved Quan and Shipley down and Malcom Williams up since I can see him drawing a double team, being better over the middle, better blocker, and better on the 50-50 ball than Quan and Shipley. He might also be better for YAC on the 2 WR screen (not sure).

    I have my doubts about DJ Monroe. He is really small (i.e. might be a good idea to redshirt to get a bit stronger so he is better equipped to deal with Div 1 hits) so I replaced him with Dan Buckner (who looks like he might back up Malcom Williams). If DJ gets to return kicks and punts, I would be forced to reevaluate.

    Vvn8bs is right about using a TE type as the inside WR. These guys can seal block a DE or LB, can go over the middle much better than the smaller WRs (i.e. take hits better, block out better, have bigger and better hands, much bigger target), do better on 50-50 balls, block much better on 2 WR screen. Mizzou is on to something there (but calling them TEs does not make sense to me).

    My hope is that UT deploys more personnel on O that are better suited for the run game and the short passing game rather than being optimized for the intermediate passing game.

53. Kafka said:

    TexasFootball,

    “Norton missed the spring game with yet another “injury””.

    Do you think Norton is faking injuries and, if so, why do you think that?

    Muschamp has made it clear that his main emphasis will be defending the spread and that he is going to do with by using a nickel rather than the 4-3. If Kindle stays healthy, he is probably going to be rushing the passer as a DE much more than occasionally this season.

    My question is: what about OU and A&M? Do you think the nickel is going to work well against those two most important games on the schedule? Presumably our base D will be a 4-3 in those games, right?

    I have no concerns whatsoever about OU’s situation in the trenches. Simply put, that’s the home of our most significant talent and depth this year.

    The LB position just flat sucks. Three guys on the big board who’ve never played a down at LB in D1. If Ryan Reynolds doesn’t stay healthy, we’re totally screwed at this position. Considering that guy has just gotten through his first completely healthy offseason, I am gnashing my teeth.

    How are Stephen Good and Jermie Calhoun looking?

57. NateHeupel said:

    August 17th, 2008 at 7:19 pm

    The practice videos I’ve seen on Good are encouraging. He may not take a starting spot this year, but he’ll have one in 2009. The guy is quick, strong, and he finishes every single block.

    As for Calhoun, he’s been good, but Justin Johnson’s actually been more impressive so far in fall camp. However, this could be because JJ came in for spring practices and got a LOT of reps with the first team offense with Murray and Brown rehabbing from knee surgeries.

    What about RJ Washington? It still amazes me that OU’s best player is from Canadian, TX. Talk about BFE.

59. NateHeupel said:

    August 18th, 2008 at 5:17 am

    RJ Washington is probably looking at a redshirt season. OU pretty much has their 2 deep set at this position. Coaches love English, Beal, and Alan Davis as far as the proven commodities, and they’re surprisingly big on RFr. Frank Alexander as the 4th guy in the mix.

    FWIW, Auston English – The Texan Canadian – returned to full contact drills after being completely cleared by the team doctor today.

    1. QB Sam Bradford

    3. WR Juaquin Iglesias
    4. OL Duke Robinson

    17. OL Brian Simmons
    18. OL Cory Brandon
    19. WR Adron Tennell
    20. QB Joey Halzle
    

    I’d move Iglesias down to about 6 or 7. Value to the team? Definitely, as he’s taking over the #1 receiving target slot from Kelly. Almost more important, though, is protecting Bradford’s backside, which bumps up duke and Load-hold. Gresham is a beast and more talented than Iglesias, IMO.

    Defense is kind of a no-brainer, although I’d move Clayton up. Would also move Blow-gun up if he could ever figure out assignments.

    Of all the old posts to get randomly spammed by a suspect online ad for Seroquel (an anti-spychotic med that Nate takes regularly), I’m glad it was this one.

    It’s interesting to look back at how certain players were valued by our Big 12 brethren heading into the season and weigh that against what actually happened.

    Beal turned out to have a pretty nice season for OU and Nic Harris played like he had a dump in his pants all year.

    For Texas, Ben Wells, John Chiles, DJ Monroe, Eddie Jones, and Montre Webber were all ghosts for differing reasons while Aaron Williams and Ogbannaya had huge years considering their relative expectation level.
