   SizzleChest, About three tenths slower that AP that afternoon in Dallas.

   What kills me about Melton is he tip toed too damn much at running back and then he switches to a position that involves contact on every play and the guy shows real promise.

   For every Henry Melton there are 5 Sneezy Beltrans. I’m happy the guy got solid PT and played a meaningful role before his eligibility ran out.

   He ran a 4.douche 40.

8. justaguy said:

   Sneezy’s issue wasn’t playing time because if it was only that he would have landed somewhere else.

   Melton to me is the guy who came to campus with no real position and finally panned out even if it was late. We have seen it with Tyrone Richardson, OJ McClintock, Eric Foreman, and as far back as Jason Burleson and Winfred Tubbs.

   I’m trying to imagine if Nic Harris was ever accused of being anything more than a mediocre cover safety who was decent to good in run support and got by because he’s got a shockingly fast backpedal.

   That said, the validity of those times dies right about here…
   “Among those present to watch 10 players work out indoors on AstroTurf…”
   Add about .15, and you’ve got a valid time. OU is quite notorious for having workouts done on the field turf which is much closer to the surface at the combine. Just ask Malcolm Kelly.

   Also, just worth a mention, Holmes ran a 4.64 at OU’s pro day.

    The two OU players in question did manage, respectively, to drag down Shipley in the endzone after having an angle on him and get blown up in pursuit by a diminutive WR on the same play, so they can’t be that slow.

    “Sneezy’s issue wasn’t playing time because if it was only that he would have landed somewhere else.”

    He did–he finished his career at Abilene Christian.

    “Melton to me is the guy who came to campus with no real position and finally panned out even if it was late. We have seen it with Tyrone Richardson, OJ McClintock, Eric Foreman, and as far back as Jason Burleson and Winfred Tubbs.”

    Tyrone had grade issues, OJ had other issues, Eric…I’m not sure, Jason Burleson got beat out at his position of choice, and Winfred managed to take what he got at Texas and turn it into a 7-year NFL career that included an All-Pro season.

    Nate,

    Did I read that right or is that statement as obtuse as it sounds?

    Quan and Shipley punked your entire back 7 at will — against starters and backups — down the sideline, in the slot, slants, and posts. And while we’re at it, kick returns, because some of those same scrubs played on special teams.

    Along with Colt (and the one game-icing run by Oingo Boingo), they were the difference in the game. Our defense got worked for the most part until a few key stops late.

    Quan/Ship made Holmes and Harris look like the slow, average players that the NFL combine and OU Pro Day confirmed they are.

    My bad, gentlemen. You know what it was? I had blocked that hit out from my memory, along with most of the 2nd half and the score. Oddly, I’m entirely in keeping with the majority of pollsters and the BCS in this regard.
    That, or the shock went all the way from Holmes’ brain to mine via a rift in the time-(bitch)slap continuum.

    Jeebus, that was a beautiful shot. In retrospect, when you can detach from it, you can’t help but admire the grotesque majesty of it.

    As for the heroes of the UT offense, I’d say Brent Venables’ utter failure to have a backup MLB ready for a guy averaging a knee injury per year was the biggest hero of the UT offense. 4 yds per play prior, 14 offensive points. 8 yds per play after, 25 offensive points.

29. Nordberg said:

    My reference to Winfred was that wasted year in which he was played at running back. It didn’t hurt his career in the NFL, but I never understood moving one of your better defenders to running back at a time Texas wasn’t exactly busting heads on defense.

    Sneezy might have finished his career at ACU, but he didn’t scratch the record books. Didn’t expect him to break Wilbert’s records, but I can’t even find a 100 yard game for Sneezy.

    if the girl is 15, this could get very expensive. she might be set up for life. 15 year old girls all over the place will be snuggling up to ou recruits and seeing that their toolboxes are well stocked and their strength medications are close by.

    Nordberg, that 60 yard run also took 14 seconds.

50. NateHeupel said:

    March 27th, 2009 at 8:00 am

    Hey newy, there is no “Brandon Jackson” on the OU roster. Did you mean Brian Jackson? As far as face raping goes, why is it that even your very own Colt McCoy conceded that the offense opened up once Reynolds went down and UT could attack the middle of the field? Thanks.

    As for this statement of utter stupidity by PatronSaint: “Musta been the best linebacker of all time to be worth 4 yards a play.”
    Again, because you’re clearly illiterate, I’m going to reiterate. THERE. WAS. NOT. A. BACKUP. READY. Read that slowly, then read it again.
    The drop off from the starter to the backup at that position was preposterous. When your starter is a redshirt junior who’s been referred to by players and coaches as the heart of the defense and been the only LB to ever grade out at 100, and his backup is a 2* sophomore from Comanche, OK with no experience whatsoever, the first guy is going to look like the best LB of all time. Especially when he’s the guy who sets the alignment of the entire front 7, and the other two LBs are a redshirt freshman and a converted safety. Don’t let facts get in your way. That probably had nothing to do with the pass rush.

    Finally, unless there is some sort of highly unlikely complete exoneration, NOT A PLEA BARGAIN, if Chaisson’s scholarship isn’t revoked, I’m disowning OU. I’d rather be a UT or OSU fan than cheer for a team that would keep a guy who did that on the roster. This isn’t about being an alcoholic or Glenn, FWIW, she was 17. The reports are being corrected. Doesn’t make it any better.

    March 27th, 2009 at 8:30 am

    What exactly was Colt supposed to say?

    That Reynolds was subpar and it didn’t matter who was playing there?

    Because that’s what he says behind closed doors.

53. PatronSaint said:

    March 27th, 2009 at 8:50 am

    I read it again. Slowly, too, per your suggestion (which I appreciate).

    It still seems to say that removing a starting linebacker and replacing him with a backup linebacker was the dominant factor that made the yards-per-play increase from four to eight.

    I’m led to the same conclusion. If your starter was Lawrence Taylor, and your backup was Stephen Hawking, you wouldn’t get a four yard bump. You could play 10 on 11 and not get a four yard bump. Eight yards per play sucks ass. No one player could suck ass that much. That was an eleven man collective effort of ass sucking.

    Either that, or Reynolds musta been the best linebacker of all time.

54. The General said:

    March 27th, 2009 at 8:55 am

    justaguy,

    Winifred was a tailback as a freshman and I believe he was recruited as such. He was moved to LB after because of depth at the position. I don’t think he was moved from defense to offense then back, just from O to D.

    Winifred was one of my all time favorite Horns, and you are being kind on his 14 second 60 yard run. It probably wasn’t that fast.

55. Newy25 said:

    The corner, #2 who I thought was Brandon Jackson. Whomever that was sucks beyond all belief and I hope he still plays for OU this fall. Colt even ran to the corner on him a few times. Probably another 4.8 defensive back.

    Keep telling yourself all of your defensive woes begin and end with the Reynolds injury. We look forward to another 45+ point offensive performance in October.

56. justaguy said:

    March 27th, 2009 at 9:45 am

    The General,

    Not trying to be argumentative because I can’t remember shit too well anymore, but the historic rosters on Mack’s site list Tubbs as a LB from 1988-1992.

    As a side note, I forgot just how truly unathletic the Texas defense had gotten back in those days. In 1991 (the first year Winfred wore a back number) the other scholarship linebackers were Anthony Curl, Doug Livingston, Boone Powell, Chris Rapp, Robert Reed, Duane Vacek (who I think became a punter), Norman Watkins, and Kevin Watler (not sure how many knee surgeries he had by this time).

57. Levander Williams said:

    March 27th, 2009 at 9:50 am

    Tubbs was a RB in his early days. The long TD run was against A&M at Kyle Field (1989) with a couple of ags on his back for part of the ride (Ray Mickens?). That was the same year of the pre-game rumble at mid-field.

    That was the one and only time I’ve attended a game at Kyle – the oddity of Texas A&M is not truly experienced until you witness a home football game against the Horns.

58. Houstonearler said:

    March 27th, 2009 at 10:19 am

    OU’s defense was worn down.

    Reynolds had 3 tackles on plays netting Texas 24 yards before he went out.

59. The General said:

    Tubbs had 29 for 153 that day. I was in the crowd, 11 years old, and one of three in a sea of maroon. We were leading 10-7 at the half and I was already phrasing the smack I was going to talk. At the time, I could not remember ever beating the Aggies since I was 5 years and 9 days old the last time it had happened.

    Wait, this thread was about OU. OU Sucks. There, we are back on track.

If the best team in your conference, the winner of 6 of the last 7 conference titles has safeties slower than D ends, then what does that say about your sorry excuse of a conference.
