Interesting Post from Marcus Johnson's Father

I have found in the past that if someone says something ambiguous, it's not an accident. No matter how things turn out, you can always let folks know which you really meant. You're never wrong then.
This is exactly what all, and I mean ALL, "insiders' do and they are actually pretty good at it. They word things so they can always be right no matter what happens.

 
That is a problem.  To the untrained eye, (read: Me,) it is not a scheme problem as much as it is a depletion of depth issue.  A healthy/eligible OL with some depth cures about 90% of what ails us.  A healthy/eligible OL, with some depth, allows Swoopes time to check through his reads without running for his life, scrambling trying to find an open WR.  It allows play action to be effective.  It allows the running game to open things up for the passing game.  The only thing it does not fix is Swoopes' grasp of the offense and his accuracy; time fixes those two things. 

Someone tell me I'm oversimplifying this.  I'm pretty sure I am. 
Right now until Texas has a healthy and experienced OL this thought process makes sense - at least to me. As far as TS and his grasp of the offense goes, I have questions about his ability to quickly progress through his reads and get rid of the ball if his first option is not available. As you say this might be a result of lack of depth but It looks like there is still too much indecision on TS's part.

 
This post is reason number 250 that I am glad I am no longer a member at OB.

Exactly.  You could be reading what the real MJ's father said or you might actually be reading what one of the owners aliases is saying.  You really never know.

That whole blog is bogus, IMO.
