He basically said that when he and Dial know what they are doing, that they do it well... but they don't always know what they are doing (yet).

I'm thinking we'll see what Jesse is capable of come the Arkansas game...or in that area. He's catching on, but is dealing with a lingering knee issue as well.

Enigma.

Goes to describe him in so many different ways.

Are you getting the reports I'm getting on Menzie? Glowing.

Literally, we've got three starting cornerbacks right now...and I love that considering the time we spend in nickel and dime.

Thought crosses my mind Bran...when is the last time you have heard someone mention Phelon? Me? Been a while...

Can't wait to see a fully healthy Menzie for myself. The depth there is good for sure... safety too, though they might be a little more green (no pun intended). Speaking of, I ain't sweating him thanks to that depth.

 

[planomateo]

receivers dropping passes or just making mistakes - I don't see both QB's haven't those stats as a QB issue, but a receiver issue.

insert Duron Carter into the mix...

 

[4th-and-1]

Do yall remember last spring when a safety (baron) was the leading tackler every scrimage?
