No it’s a good metric just saying it’s not the gospel. Elite DTs don’t disappear in games like he does.

It kind of reminds me of the Joe Milton situation. He has the prototypical QB body and arm, but it's what's between the ears that holds him back. I kinda see Nolen in much the same way.

Haven't seen much of that from him. Don't see the speed. He's physical, good blocker and is perfect for bodying up on a slant or a guy who won't be afraid to attack the middle of the field. A burner he is not.

2022 Pitt, Florida, LSU and Mizzou and 20223 Florida were all games he had catches on long vertical routes behind the DB. I never said blazing speed but ability to get behind the defense. Tillman was great at it for the speed he had

I think Bru's skillset is extremely valuable to us as well. Those screens are a huge part of our offense and Bru is a monster blocking out there. I think Matthews will give us a lot of what we hope Stewart would offer.

I guess I've misread the Heupel offense. I thought we liked to use our tempo to create confusion on the defense and then attack that confusion down the field. Felt our dependence on the sideline screens was, in large part, due to our limitations at the qb position as well as just not having WR's that could take the top off on a defense. Didn't see this system as a dink/dunk/run deal. Sure didn't need a stud like Nico to run an offense like that. I'm not trying to belittle any of our WR's especially Bru and White, but they're more complimentary pieces and the others are just average so far. We simply don't have the game breakers which is what I thought Heupel was looking for in a WR. Yeah, I know we have some incoming freshmen, but I never count on those guys impacting at the SEC level. Plus our staff hasn't shown a willingness to put a freshman on the field very often.

I don't understand the positions the coaches play the WRs at. Bru is normally lined up as the solo receiver on the left when healthy. I would think with his blocking he would be better to line up with the slot receiver. I liked having a speedster Javonta Peyton type receiver on the left side.

I think ultimately Heupel would love to attack downfield but the offense is more than that. Really (like any offense) you just want to put maximum pressure on the defense horizontally and vertically, and which you prioritize might depend on the talent you have available.

Do you need an arm talent like Nico to make a screen work well? No, but if you've got a guy like Squirrel that can get chunks of 8-10 yards you run it anyway because it works.

You do need a guy like Nico to hit the deep shots and we brought in Brazzell to help us be effective there.

Ideally you can work both parts of that game. We did in 2022 and the complemented each other. This year we really only had the first. Having Bru in the fold next year gives us the capability to excel at both again.

At this point Stewart is a luxury. I assume he is a take if he wants to come, but really isn’t a need. Getting 1 more OL and 1 more DB should be a bigger priority IMO.

Staff is no longer interested.
So he's not a take.

That decision immediately came after that tweet about mental health. And injuries...

Can't say I blame them

Yea, you should read about Heupel’s offense. I did when he was hired. The uptempo is to get the defense thinking quickly and to prevent substitutions. But the scheme is to get your playmakers in space. That can be short out wide with a blocker or it can be man to man deep. But with the wide splits, defenses have to commit inside the box or wide. So, the QB is taught to read the box. If the numbers are favorable wide, then you throw it outside. If the DB’s are off wide, then it’s a short “screen” with a blocker. If the DB’s are pressing, then you go deep. If the numbers are favorable in the box, then you run it, usually off tackle.

Of course, there are nuances when they try to use motion to get a safety on a speedster or get a TE in space. But I had read that there isn’t much of a middle passing game with Heupel. We’ve seen some midrange passes, but it’s certainly true that much of it is either short (within 10 yards) or deep.

So Stewart is no longer a person of interest for UT staff? I wonder if their contacts with him gave them some concerns rather than just the Tweets or social media statements he made about A & M.

I hate to hear of your negative experiences with physicians. Medicine used to be a calling and most Doctors felt that way and were honored to be one. As healthcare has been taken over by business types it has become less of a calling and more of a job. I hate that transition and am seeing more and more of what you have experienced even in my own dealings with providers. As a retired physician I hope I never came across that way with my patients but we are all sinful human beings after all.

We ran a different style with Milton vs Hooker.
Because Milton couldn't consistently connect down field.

Nor did we have Jaylin Hyatt. People like to say Squirrel can be that, but no. His deep speed was special.

Those deep shots won't be possible if Nico is running for his life. Even Webb, Nimrod would be serviceable if Nico has an OL giving him time. For me, OL is a bigger need than another WR....but I really want a game breaker added to that room.

As an attorney who has deposed alot of doctors, I completely agree. Nonetheless exceedingly poor judgment to tweet that, from a business perspective if nothing else.

What kind of doctors are you referring to - family med, neurology, pain docs? Just curious.

First one mostly, wants to blame everything on mental health. I admit I have terrible mental health right now because my life hasn’t been the same for nearly 9 months now. I have post concussion syndrome and what I believe to be a rare syndrome called Visual Snow Syndrome, which is a horrible thing to live with. She just keeps pushing mental health, and yeah I need to improve it, but it’s kinda hard to do that when you have migraines almost every single day, and your vision is weird as hell, and that’s not even half of it. She just nods and throws pills at me and tries to get through appointment asap. I get it, it’s not her specialty to be trying to treat a rare neurological condition, but it’s hard to even get into a neuro that I can reasonably afford, which will just bring me to politics and I don’t feel like talking politics. lol I guess I get annoyed when doctors don’t take you seriously and are pretty much saying “it’s all in your head” and wants to just throw pills at you for anxiety. There’s no real standard treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome and I’ve basically had to self diagnose it because I can’t even get a referral to a neuro doctor.
