Interesting Malik Jefferson Quotes After the Game

Mostly at our expense. 

True. 

That's how they play though and they are effective at it. They finished #7 in the country in 2014 in time of possession.

We take poor angles, and we often try to make the tackle instead of turning the ball carrier into our teammates. Critical to being good on defense......Angles, pursuit, and containment !!!!...oh ...and getting off a dang block ...SMH

For anyone that's interested I would give Chris Hall a follow on Twitter. He does a good job breaking down O-line play (with video). Here's his handle.

A quote from Heard today

"It may seem like I'm a little too loose, at times, but I'm totally into the game at all times. I just bring a different edge to the game."

Time of possession is sometimes overrated.

While Rice had "quantity" (number of plays), they didn't have "quality" (yards per attempt).

Their yards per attempt were pedestrian at best.

True. Also, in the second half I don't think Strong/Bedford were overly worried about Rice maintaining possession once we had a big lead.

I am probably looking at this in a too simplistic way, but it looks like we have got ourselves a pretty good foundation for an offensive line.  Add a couple of our young running backs in the mix and it seems like a no brainer to me why Gilbert and Mattox decided to come work with the good guys.

Now that Jefferson guy, he is such an outlier, I guess he's gonna have to go take care of the defensive end of things by his own self!

I think we all saw that Watson really wanted Swoopes to be "the guy", even to the point about almost coming to tears during the pre-season press conference. I wanted to believe all that we heard about Swoopes during the summer, but when that press conference was concluded and I saw how emotionally involved Watson was with Swoopes, I was very concerned.

Unfortunately, I think Mailik and the team saw that as well. That would lead me to believe that Heard was not given a fair shake.

I also think that as the coaches will start to trust Heard, the more he plays. Especially if he can protect the ball. 

The idea that it was Watson making that call, rather than Strong (and Watson possibly crying because he wanted to play Heard), is quite possilby dead wrong, particularly when it was Strong who said before the Notre Dame game that, 'yeah, we're going to play Jerrod some, but if he makes one single mistake, he needs to keep running right past the sideline and back to the locker-room'.  That was Strong's comment, not Watson's.

Watson has a pretty strong track record of putting up efficient, high-performing offenses and quarterbacks (and tight ends, frankly, lol) wherever he has been.  And at much lesser schools than Texas, he has almost always gone to a bowl game at those places, lol.

You all wanted to make Watson the scapegoat.  It was embarrassing and naive and frankly flat-out stupid, and it was harmful to the program and to the University.  He is gone, now.  Who will your scapegoat be, now? lol.  Can't be the high-performing offensive line coach from last season, Wickline--he's gone, too.

Wonder when you lunatics will turn the blame where it always should have been, right from the Notre Dame game, to Charlie for not playing Heard and to Bedford and the entire defensive staff for how plain freaking awful they were the whole freaking year, and what an embarrassment they freaking were, and what an embarrassment they have been so far this year in defensive line recruiting, lol.

If any of you, any of you, think Bedford wasn't the problem last year, even from the freaking Notre Dame game, you are completely freaking deluded, lol.

We either have another "as per" man or a rat bastard aggy. Or both.
