Hm. Okay. 

I did see some film of him in coverage and in space and he was pretty special.

He definitely is. I'm just used to seeing him as an offensive player. It always threw me a little when Coach would throw Davis and Spencer Sanders in on defense. It usually worked, yes, but there was that momentary feeling of "Wait, what?!? ...oh, right!"

Ok, I thought I saw Spencer Sanders in a highlight video from an Allen offensive player but I wasn't sure if they doubled up on numbers.

No, that was Sanders. He got put in on defense for several plays during the Amarillo Tascosa game too.

Thats called putting your Alpha dog on the field and trusting him to make plays. I like that personally.  When it gets down to the time when you need something put your play makers on the field. Especially at the HS level

Oh, I get it, believe me. I'm pretty sure he was on defensive plays in other games as well; those two are just the ones I remember. We had several players who played both ways when necessary. That team may not have gotten past Allen (which is 2.5x larger than Ryan), but there is some special talent there.

It did seem odd to see him still in on D when that Allen game was already decided...

I don't know the logic, but that team could really band together and surprise you. Maybe they were hopeful or... something.

Yes, Ryan will be a handful in 5a.... Seriously going to put some whoopings on this level..

Good movie... Better defensive position. I think he will be a good fit.

      2025 DC Wish List

      For all the decisions after that weather aided win over UTSA, a 2025 season without 9 regular seasons or a bowl game being the 9th win should get everyone but Patrick Cob fired. Like others have pointed out, being a DC under a coach on the hot seat is not likely to be a stable position attractive to DCs that are covetted. So either you bring in a DC with an extended contract as the HC in waiting or you just roll the dice with a less experienced DC. I don't this can happen, but I would like Zach Orr. I want to see a 2026 or 2027 with Patrick Cobb and Zach Orr at the helm. Either one as Head Coach and the other as Assistant HC and coordinator for their side of the ball. Eric Morris just isn't ready to be a head coach at this level. If we were still in CUSA or contending with programs like Southern Miss, La Tech, UTEP, Rice, ULM, South Alabama and Texas State it might be a different story. In AAC and above coaching, talent elevation is just too good to achieve anything significant with one side of the ball that has NOTHING it does well consistently. Hell if they could just tackle people aren't walking out early 3rd quarter.

      2025 DC Wish List

      So what’s Jared’s football background? Besides interviewing, how would he know the best candidate to hire? EM definitely needs some input since you don’t want to have division on the team when the HC isn’t on board with the DC hire. Then again, EM had his chance. At this stage in his career, he still needs guidance.

      Chandler Morris & DT Sheffield: NIL Card Show Appearance - Come show support!

      @BigWillie I got there later during the signing period, so I only saw a few obvious Mean Green fans. That included one fan who repeatedly assured me we would finish 7-5. However, I chatted with some folks and it sounded like there was a really good turnout. Apparently there was a long line of fans right at 2:00 for signatures. There was a large table area for mini helmets, and there weren't many North Texas helmets left when I bought one. That was encouraging too.

      2025 DC Wish List

      I tend to hope so. Eric seems to have eroded the trust he originally had in terms of his decision making skills.
