Sam Ehlinger’s Snaps

[okiehorn]

Found this Gem on YouTube someone made... I’d like to hear other people’s takes.. mine are as follows

1. Collin Johnson may very well be the SOFTEST 6’5 WR I have witnessed when it comes to blocking. Texas DOES NOT need to run a play that is expecting him to make a block.

2. Sam is very inconsistent. He made some great throws but he made quite a few where the WR made him look good. Several throws that if thrown on the money or in stride would have gained loads of yards. Would Shane be better IDK. 

3. When Sam uses his feet he is great. Every time he wanted to run he gained several yards. Why didn’t we see this more? Why not when they were rushing 3 and dropping the house?

4.WHY IS PORTER IN WITH 1 min to go!! He wasn’t even on the Depth chart!! The little screen to him and the misses catch wasn’t pretty.

5. My favorite one... this video shows the O-Line is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than last year. If you don’t want to watch because of Sam simple watch for the O-Line, several plays Sam had 4-5 seconds to throw. Can’t see if our WR just can’t get open or if he is just flat out missing them. But the O-Line gives me hope.

Generally speaking, I assume the coaching staff wants Porter in there for pass protection. That said, Maryland was dropping back in coverage, so there really wasn't the need to have Porter in the game for that reason. Not trying to hate on the kid, but Porter is the last RB I want in the game when it comes to play making potential and we need someone to make a play.

Also, totally agree with the comments on Sam's throwing. If you want to run an offense that asks a QB to sit in the pocket and make reads and accurate throws, Boo has the skill set you're looking for. If you're going to play Sam, for the love of God coaching staff, call plays that maximize his skill set.
