OU might be missing talented defensive tackle tandem
Posted by Trips Right on October 6th, 2008 under Football
According to Sooner Scoop. There’s a chance starting Center John Cooper will be limited as well. Bodes well for Texas especially when you consider the Sooner scouting report from Barking’s Jimmy The Greek.

Thanks for the writeup Trips. It’ll all be over soon. Mercy killing, imo.

We have to live with the fact that Baylor is a more talented and better coached basketball team than we are.

CJD,
I know exactly what you are talking about. Pitiful defense. We open the second half giving up about 4 easy buckets on run-outs. Damion shoots a three, Mason watches and does not get back, easy bucket. Lucas gets beat down court and gives a way a soft foul for a 3 point -

That was a ruthless and depressing cataloguing of failure. Thanks Hank! I think.

There’s no question that Barnes without point guard just doesn’t work.

You’re happy with our transition defense? Because that’s what Trips is referencing with respect to floor balance.
And your typing about point guards is something we’d pretty much discussed, established, and put to bed

Egg, that’s all fine and good, but what did JH do tonight to warrant the benching? You’re talking in generalites parroted by know nothing ESPN color analysts who watch one or two Texas games a year. I saw one egregiously bad shot tonight. The other shots were significantly better than most any other

Ekpe Udoh’s back must be sore… Baylor has beaten Texas three times in one season for the first time since 1981-1982. Baylor has also beaten Texas four times in a row.
If you had told me before the game…. that Texas would outrebound us 38 to 28, and grab 17 offensive rebounds to our 5…. that

I really can’t take it anymore. If you must know how or why Baylor continues to play Earl “the Goat” Manigault to our sports-goggled, weekend warrior check out the last Baylor write-up.
What happened tonight was eerily similar. In fact, it’s mindnumbingly frustrating that our staff made nary an adjustment to try

There are no laws in Oklahoma.
So, I think the Horns might be good enough to make the quarterfinals of the NIT. And maybe not. Just a team completely adrift.

Trips,
I hear you and I agree. And I know most are just frustrated, angry, and beaten down by this year. I really hope that any staff change that takes place will bring energy and maybe a little joy. Just a little. Obviously we need to rework our offense. Barnes installed

I won’t even get started on the offense because there is no prayer in getting that changed this year.
Well the year appears to be one more game. Thus, love to read your thoughts for next season.

Wow. Bummer for them. I wonder if that is equal to or less important than our TE (important) and FB (not as much) losses?

NORMAN, Okla. (AP)—Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops expects No. 1 Oklahoma to be at full strength this Saturday when the Sooners face fifth-ranked Texas in the annual Red River Rivalry game.
Although defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and center Jon Cooper sustained minor injuries against Baylor, Stoops said both could return this week to face the Longhorns—and the Sooners might even have injured defensive linemen Demarcus Granger and Frank Alexander back.
“Everyone practiced to some degree today, and right now our trainers are pretty optimistic and feel that everyone will be ready to play. Now, I’m not going to detail it the whole week on who is where, what percentage. I don’t know how to do any of that,” Stoops said after practice.
“It’s their feeling today that everyone is expected to play.”
Stoops said the only two players who are definitely out are third-string tight end Eric Mensik and reserve cornerback Jonathan Nelson.
McCoy, a dominant inside presence who has 1 1/2 sacks this season, was walking gingerly after injuring his toe two days earlier. He’s still expected to play against the Longhorns.
“I’m good. I’m always good. You can always count on me being out there,” McCoy said, playfully repeating himself to reiterate his point: “I’m good. I’m good, everybody. I’m good.”
An Oklahoma City native, McCoy will be playing in his second Red River Rivalry game and said he’s been trying to keep himself from looking ahead to the game the last couple weeks.
“There’s no way I’ll miss it,” McCoy said.
He was able to hop off the field on one leg after he was hurt in the second quarter against the Bears.
“My dad always told me, ‘G, if you can get up, get up and get off the field. Don’t lay there,”’ McCoy said.
Granger, a former starter who played in a reserve role at the start of this season, has been out since injuring his left foot against Washington three weeks ago. He was off limits to reporters Monday night.
Alexander, a backup, has been sidelined since he was stabbed in the arm during a melee at a Norman nightclub following the Sooners’ season opener against Chattanooga.

Basically if your torso is connected to the legs somewhere in the hip region, Stoops will make you play. Anybody that passes the eyeball test and still can’t go just mysteriously disappears.

“Mysteriously”, vasher? There’s nothing mysterious about it. You’re shot in the head, buried outside of Juarez, and replaced with a robot. Pretty standard, really.

I would actually rather play against an injured starter, than a healthy backup.
The coaching staff will leave the starter in there while they hobble all over the field(Orakpo/Miller last year) in hopes that they miraculously heal themselves during the course of play, and start flying all over the football field.
Meanwhile there is a guy sitting on the bench who, while not as good as said starter normally, is perfectly capable, and more able- bodied right now……. typical coaches!
