and have a 6'10" dude standing right in front of your QB?  You effectively shut down a throwing lane.

So he's not standing in between the QB and WR on the out routs?  Besides..I didn't say he needed to play guard and stand up.  He needs to play guard where the other guy is less likely to run around him.

Hopefully the redshirted freshmen have a good offseason and can contribute next year.

I think Eli "Cinco" Howard is gonna be a player to watch for.

Chico burned Darrien McNair's shirt in the WKU game. 

Chico is great at doing that. Did it to D. Thompson his last stint.

Chico arrived for the '10 season. '09 Arky State was all Dodge because he had no other quarterback in Jonesboro to take snaps and he thought he was coaching for his job, We almost won that game. DT went down in the 2nd or 3rd game of the next season so it was ultimately a moot point. But the point I'm trying to make is that Chico was nowhere near DT's redshirt burn.

Interior linemen are typically the tallest position on a roster.

Having said that, any dude that is 6'10 needs a tall glass of water.

Murray may be more successful if he were to be moved to guard.

 

Rick

I'm certainly no coach and provably input less than ffrick, but if you were gonna convert a guy that size, wouldn't it be ideal to put him on the other side of the ball for the very reason that he could eat up passing lane space? Ignorant question asked out of curiosity.

That's a very good question.  He certainly should be in on special teams/field goal block..and maybe he is but I've not noticed?  But probably doesn't have the quickness to play D line.

His position is tackle and his future position is tackle. (This is about Murray)

All this talk about moving to guard is crazy.

Your center is normally your shortest lineman then moving outwards in height.

Your tackles are the tall ones because with the height comes the long arms to hold of a speed rush.

He just needs to work on his drop step.

As for the throwing lane comment that's why the QB steps up in the pocket when the tackle is shielding the Defensive end basically forming the "pocket"

 

If you have a tall guard it is entirely to easy for DT (not Derek) to get underneath his pads and drive him into the QB lap.(collapsing the pocket)  

So your tall guys play tackle**(fixed) your shortest plays center and whatever is left plays guard.

1.Preston/Brooks combo will be Nasty by theit senior year!

2. Rod Young could be best player in class!

3 Howard will be a very solid edge rusher for next few years 

4. Murray and Barr look like solid lineman in future

5. Mcnair has chance to start next year

6. Dillman is a wild card. Think littrell will Def find a used for him 

7. Woodworth seemed athletic for 284. Would like to see him moved to other side of theach ball.

Why? He was a true freshman who is in his 3rd full year of playing football.  He did not start playing football until he was a Junior in HS.  Also, due to McCarney and Co.'s inability to recruit he was forced to play far to early before he was truly ready.  He could have benefited from a ton of Practice reps vs having to learn as he goes.  I have no doubt he will (in time) become a very good football and an anchor for the left side of the line.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      AS I SAID THESE LAST 3 GAMES HAVE SETH LITTREAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM....6 WINS AND A ASS WHOOPIN IN A 2nd TIER BOWL. AND THOSE THAT BITCHED ABOUT PARKING....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT FOR ECU. THIS FOOTBALL TEAM IS SCREWED WITH MORRIS AS HFC AND WITH MOSELY AS AD. Just typical NT BS. I don't see how we keep Cobb... There is bound to be a special place in heaven for long term NT football fans. Y'all bitch about DD all you want but his teams usually played to the top of their conference level.

      Two things that standout in the stat lines to me. Time Of Possession: sa had the ball nearly 20 minutes longer than we did. And, 3rd Down Conversion: sa converted 10 of 18 3rd downs. We only converted 2 of 11. Thats devastating to an already struggling defense, time and effort wise. Then you compound wasting that effort away by pissing away the easy points afforded you by gambling on 4th downs inside the 30. Maybe our FG kicker has the shanks or something? But to me changing D coordinators isn’t going to fix all of our problems because right now we have no idea how to manage a 60 football game, which is Classic Air Raid. Rick

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Yep, and thanks. So, are MSU and UTSA the only 2 ranked opponents we’ve ever beaten? I can’t find a good resource for that info but did hear it announced during the Army game. If so, that’s even more pathetic than I first thought: one win was via forfeit and the other was against a startup program.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Agreed. Similar case can be made for Simon, as he coached in the first few years of our return to D1 when half our games were body bag games. And the guys preceding him were playing D-2 schedules. But, the point is we are historically a really bad program no matter who is coaching, which conference, classification or stadium we’re playing in. Any time a UNT coach has success, we worry he will use as a stepping stone to a better program. We should be so lucky. Hugh Freeze, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin are three former conference opponent coaches that immediately come to mind, now coaching P5 schools.
