Amusing, Kafka. You keep fightin’ that good fight now.

Beergut, your primary consistency is idiocy.

“Kindle played well though he didn’t have his customary sack n’ strip. ”

Doing something two times in 5 games makes it “customary”?

You have an interesting definition of consistency.

“Chiles doesn’t need to be defended or accounted for in any way in the passing game. If I want a blocker that averages 8 yards a reception on screens, I’ll put in a FB. He’s a one trick pony that draws a bracket on Shipley everytime he lines up on his side. You’re watching the game with tunnel vision. Tunnel screen vision.”

Chiles catches what they throw at him. They threw the ball to him 5 times, he caught all 5. He blocks well on the other plays. That ain’t bad for a #4 receiver.

Averaging nearly 9 yards on screens is great, a lot better than UT has normally done in the last 12 years.

Shipley gets double teamed because he gets thrown to so much and is so great, blaming that on Chiles is absurd.

You might be projecting a bit when you say I’m watching the game with tunnel screen vision but it was witty anyway.

Saw a newspaper article yesterday citing Colt as suggesting the double move pass play of Shipley’s just before the half to Greg Davis to put some fire into the team and the stadium. Now today I see a Mack Brown quote giving credit to Davis for calling the play. If tendencies is like the faint smell of urine in a subway, Mack Brown’s complicity to Davis’s taking credit for others creativity to deflect criticism smacks of backed up plumbing in the Bellmont men’s room.

If I ever get a dog I’m going to name him Greg.

CTJ – You’re right, I meant Dixon, not Davis, in reference to the recruit. Apologies to Marcus Davis. Also, I’m not sure we disagree on Gideon on principle, though perhaps some on price. I don’t come to praise Gideon, but I don’t come to bury him either, he is an honorable man. If you feel that dissection of his errors is worthwhile, I respectfully disagree, but it’s your time to dispose of how you please. I would’ve attempted to add more to the larger topic of the numerous aspects of our offense that have been exposed, but I’m late in the thread and don’t have better to offer.

Scip and CTJ – As for Brian Davis, I’m willing to believe that a little noise might make Mack take him to task over how it’s possible to look at 85 class schedules and somehow miss the three that have a mysterious absence of courses with the numbers 2000-3000 in front of them according to the Texas Common Course Numbering System. I think it’s an issue that is easy to politic and sidestep, but I’d be happy to be wrong.

One other point that I haven’t seen made enough. Successful running games are very much based on timing. The timing of the ball being given to the RB makes a big difference.

When I watched Florida Saturday night, the thing that struck me was how fast they’re able to run their system. That’s what makes them good. They’re like a Tech of running the ball. Unconventional system run very, very fast.

I think our blocking schemes and plays are designed for failure, but I also think we struggle with the timing aspect of the run game.

Probably because we don’t practice doing it right.

This is nitpicking, obviously, but it’s Kevin Gilbride. And Gary Gibbs, to bring up the ghost of Sooners past.

I’m going to go against the social norm and compare Ship to…….a black wr. That dude is the collegiate version of Steve Smith (Panthers version, not Giants.) That cut was the freakiest thing I’ve seen all year. AI would be proud.

I’m pretty indifferent on Gideon. His worse play was the air-ball tackle on the first drive. On that td pass wasn’t he the only safety? If that’s the case, then that’s on Muschamp. You can’t have your least fleet footed db responsible for covering the most ground. They should have Usain Thomas back there. Let Marcus Davis man up on somebody in the slot. As for Davis I’ve heard that he comes from an excellent family. Hell his AA All-American accpetance was held at his church. I don’t think we’ve had problems with him now or in the past.

Let the Heisman hype start for Ship.

Davis is terrible, has this been stated before, or am I the first.
