Coach Mac unveils UNT 2-Deep: Josh Greer starts at QB

greenminer · August 25, 2014

I think it says the Greer kid is quarterback; but, it doesn't say they are moving Dajon to DB like Mack Brown or Bobby Stoops would be tempted to do to get his "athleticism" on the field, right? Without turning the ball over...with the "athleticism"...but, instead, creating turnovers...with the "athleticism."

Because, as we all know, there is only two type of football "athleticism": 40 yard dash speed (out of pads) and quarterbacks running the ball instead of throwing it.

Strength, agility, and intelligence mean nothing in football. They are big wastes of time, right? Like, we should just have Zach Paul play quarterback if we can just teach him to turn around and hand off the ball.

Brock Berglund.

Fags.

As was pointed out to me a little bit back, DJ is not an athletic quarterback. A tall, lanky kid that apparently can throw a rocket.

Good points -

Let me add a few...

Sid Moore listed as #1. Do not discount what a good football player this kid is and what an impact he could make. He's a redshirt freshman starting against Texas.

Does it not seem like Erick Evans and Rex Rollins have sort of disappeared with Ivery and Wilson showing up?

How is it that Blake Macek lost his starting job - that guy had one of the most outstanding seasons at punter I have seen? Keena must be the %hit.

Saying its the best special teams we have had without Chancellor is pretty telling...

Sheldon Wade is a guy I can't wait to watch -- what a great story he has been... and of course KiShawn got a lot of praise.. Dash's stock must have fallen

SSP will be happy to see John at #2 behind Lee.

Like the theory of not a superstar d-lineman but lots of solid ones...mentions zero Wallace.

Tillman Johnson is going to be fun to watch and he gave a lot of love to Chad Polk.

I thought it was interesting to see that Calvin Minor has worked his way into the two deep. No mention of Blake Bean.

Still seems disappointed in Loving but has to say he could help us.

Proud of how how Travis Ellard has worked his way up to the top.

See ^^ post...

Minor, Smiley and Polk have earned their positions. Look really good.

And yes.... I'm happy. Schilleci has had a very consistent spring and summer and looks like a completely different guy out there. He's got some competition with Dash, but that's good, right?

You guys need to get over this DW thing. Obviously there something there otherwise he would be playing.... There's no conspiracy.

In Josh We Trust!!!

Marty · August 25, 2014

SSP is right, there has to be something missing in Dajon or otherwise he would be playing or at least on the 2 deep.

Glad to see Teegarden on the list, have been rooting for him since he arrived on campus.

Also Banagu, he must have had a whale of a camp!

Wanted to see Flusche on there but he must still have some work to do.

DAMN THAT VIDEO FIRED ME UP!!!!

But did it fire you up enough to have a Wednesday night podcast to discuss the 2 deep?

That is the real question.

That is the real question.

Yes indeed we will be discussing this Wed nite!

Some surprises:

Matt Dash not on the 2-deep (they were making him out to be the likely starter a couple of weeks ago)

Pegram starting at RB over Jimmerson (I like the call, but still a little surprising)

Teegarden making the 2-deep (shouldn't be a surprise, but his name hasn't popped up much lately), no Chelf

Agree w/points 1 & 3.

Pegram = Byrd, so I'm not surprised there. Our running game is going to look just like it has for the past 2yrs w/Byrd & Jimmerson, except now it's Pegram & Jimmerson.

pastorgrant · August 25, 2014

I'm really surprised Evans wasn't mentioned. I didn't expect him to beat out Jimmerson or Pegram, but if Wilson and Ivory beat him out they must be incredible. Either that or health and/or fumbleitis got him. Sounds like they are just that good though.

Also surprised no Chelf

I think alot of the Evans hype came from folks on here watching practice. With Wilson getting shout-outs just about every day from the OC though... makes sense that he passed Evans.

Evans hype came from coaches during spring ball.

Mac keeps mentioning Dajon in passing during these interviews. It makes me think he hasn't totally given up on the kid.

UNTcrazy727 · August 25, 2014

Not surprised at all that Pegram is starting. He was our best RB last year before he got injured, IMO

UNT90 · August 25, 2014

And Mac again brought up DW's maturity in the video...

I don't think anyone is questioning Mac's judgement as much as just wishing DW would put it all together because we (I, at least) think he is the most physically talented QB on the roster.

Don Allman · August 26, 2014

As I have stated numerous times watch out for Ivory. He will play Un a lot this year.

MeanGreen01 · August 26, 2014

Gosh this is awesome news, sooo happy Greer is the guy! No I feel like we have a shot this year, starting with Bevo BBQ

I hope he ends up winning the Heisman here, but apparently no one but NT saw that potential coming out of HS. He has got one more year than Greer (and probably ahead of Means), so maybe that future is still in the cards.

Basically the 2 deep doesn't look accurate according to Darius Terrell.

Yeah and he's pretty much implying that he should be listed as starting.

cdizzle86 · August 26, 2014

It wouldn't surprise me if the 2 deep isn't completely accurate.

The twitter conversation is just getting weirder for those who follow Dariur & Eric Capper.

Looks like trice said he thought one of Harris or Terrell were playing outside, Terrell confirmed and said both are unless the "11" package (1 tight end 1 running back) is in and in that case, Terrell moves inside.

I don't know if he's correct, but that seems to be what he's saying.
