Craig Naivar & 2017 Longhorn Special Teams

I watched an interview with special teams coordinator/safety coach Craig Naivar on Texassports.com and he had some comments worth noting about how the staff view Longhorn special teams:

“He’s Too Skinny!”…And Other Useless Recruiting Observations

In 2014, a rangy young DE named Charles Omenihu - standing 6-foot-5 and weighing just under 220 pounds - impressed at the NFTC camp competing against other 2015 recruits.

The hidden inefficiencies of the 2016 offense

Last year, the Texas Longhorns churned out a 2,000+ yard rusher, a near 3,000 yard true freshman passer and eight receivers caught 18 balls or more, with seven of them amassing 250+ yards from scrimmage. That's a lot of production.

Our Defense’s D-Line Demands: An Explanation

Last week, I commented on Herman's fat shaming, as our head coach has made it a point to repeatedly mock the muffin-tops on our DL. He's not talking about everyone (Nelson, Omenihu are on the good list) and there are clearly players who are too heavy but making the effort to cut down (Elliott, Ford), but he's looking for proof in the pudding from several other athletes.

Little guys haven't been this empowered since Frodo went to Mordor.

2017 Offensive Infrastructure: Outside

In Part I, we solidified the idea that Tom Herman is inheriting a different OL situation than his predecessor by several orders of magnitude. That's a good thing, since OL represent 45% of a starting offense and have the largest representation on any roster overall.

2017 Offensive Infrastructure: Inside

Between now and September 2nd, Texas fans are going to devote a lot of time, energy and ink to discussing the QB position and to hand-wringing over which RB will assert themselves in the Spring and Fall.

The science of football numerology

I'd like to discuss this crucial topic. Specifically, which numbers properly define position, the ones players should wear if you hope to win any games and what a number choice says about that player's character.
