A lot and more depends on how he’s done in practice, but I would think he would be fine to play heavy snaps against Alabama. Florida can actually throw the ball. Not well, but it does actually go up into the air and come down near where it supposed to be.

Actually, that’s not true. Alabama does not pass very much, ranked 76th. Florida is worse, ranked at 82nd.

Also, everyone will be out of “game speed shape” for over one month thanks to the absurdity that is bowl scheduling and the BCS. Scott will have a chance to play.

Nobody’s bashing anybody, Newy. This site is as much of an attraction for its humor as for its analysis—at least that’s the way I view it. Gideon, like every player on our D, gets better every game. The comment was a reference to earlier posts on other boards essentially espousing that only he and he alone is capable of lining up our defense.

As far as the Beasley thing, I don’t disagree that he is the weakest of our DB’s, but he is a cornerback and a blow-out patch until AW gets well. Scott is a safety, and there is a difference, especially when it comes to the amount of responsibility they have for run support relative to cornerbacks, who play pass first.

Chykie isn’t as good a cornerback as Aaron or Curtis, and he gets a lot more balls thrown his way as a result. That doesn’t necessarily make him the weakest link in the chain, just the lesser of three evils for an OC to ponder.

Aerohorn, I’ll assume you are being sarcastic. If not, get help—quickly.

giden has improved, in catching the ball. he still has no range but that hasn’t been a problem, yet.

Curtis Brown would be sitting with the band. Aaron Williams would be in line at the concession stand.

Gideon bashing is starting to go out of style the longer he keeps playing like he is-Newy25

I agree he is playing better, but the plays he has made have all been within 10 yards of his original location. His range, and his tackling would be reasons why I would wanna see Scott. Teams have been going at him quit a bit lately. Fortunately for us, we haven’t seen the most athletic receivers yet.

Is it just me or it seems that for a few plays in every game, our defense appears quite disorganized before the snap? Many times I find myself yelling for them to line up as the offense is about to snap the ball. But they somehow end up doing a bang up job, with some wide receivers dropping balls to help out.

Gideon is not the weakest link in our db chain. Chykie amazingly might get that designation.

And Beasley was the least favored of the 3 guys on the academics outs to begin the season, but he certainly has come on big. We’re a better defense with him playing, and none of us were excited about him coming back.

all,

this is just a friendly reminder that we still have 3/4 games left in this season. and, although the Southeaster Conference (and its crooked refs) are insuring that at least one of its teams makes it the MNC, Texas does not seem to have that luxury. It’s hard not too look ahead; however, we still have 3/4 teams in front of us that all will likely be playing for bowl eligibility. Not to mention, we have to go to that inbreeding hellhole that is College Station and play against a desperate coach and team that would love to justify their non-existence against TU (a la 2007).

I am proud of the way our team has taken care of business each and every week while we watch Alabama and Florida screw around with Tennessee and Vandy. There is definitely something great about feeling like the fans are on the same page as the team.

No doubt we are near the finish line; however, the more we appreciate each any every game, the more will appreciate the rarity of a MNC.

I don’t mean to sound like everyone’s judgemental Mom, but I figured I would attempt to keep things in perspective.
