While I would like to think things are coming together, I am more skeptical than most. I like Strong and believe he is a good guy.
My biggest concerns:
1. "Dual OC's" and the spotty play calling. Every game we hear its all about execution. Seems to be the convientent excuse. Such as running Grey on 4th and short instead of Brown(better short yardage). It just seems the second half the other teams make adjustments and Texas just does the same thing. So many 3 and out in second half its embarassing.
2. Swoopes. I am not sold on this kid at all. He makes tons mistakes every game. Against Tech throwing behind Griffin on a slant route which he had the guy beat by 5 yards with nothing but green in front. Did the same thing to Harris yesterday. Its like every deep ball is more of a jump ball, or Texas recievers trying to stop in stride and turning around.
Last night in 2nd half:
1st Down - Bobble the ball and fall down barely handing it off to M Brown.
2nd Down - Trips his own rb M Brown during hand off.
3rd Down - Throws a ball almost intercepted after being picked off the previous drive.
The kid just doesnt seem to have the motivation or heart if you will to be an elite QB at Texas.
Hes not a leader and I dont see him becoming one.
People talk about his athletic ability, but hes not smooth or graceful and watching him trying to outrun pressure is like watching a 3 legged elephant trying to run.
I hope Heard gets the nod next year after red shirting
