Spring 2022 practice reports

[Horns11]

Sure, Texas has offensive linemen, but it’s the seven freshmen who have Longhorns buzzing

It's been quite a while since i've seen players calling out other players in quotes. I'd be pissed if I was Christian Jones today... but I'd also be Christian Jones and know that my issues were a big cause of the problems last year.

 

[mchammer]

I can't remember if last year the players talked about taking responsibility for their positions and accountability as a team.
But I read and feel a new dynamic. This years the players seem more like a team.
And it seems like they are having fun.

I recall Sark trying to put together his coaching staff and finish recruiting in the weeks leading up to spring camp. The incomplete training and practice is partly responsible for the late 3rd quarter and 4th quarter collapses.

Is Texas QB Quinn Ewers separating from Hudson Card already?

You have to remember what defense he's scrimmaging against.

Every party's got a pooper.

[Sangre Naranjada]

Yeah, but you have to remember what def...

Ahhhh, never mind.

As we all know, it’s a zero sum game. Only if both sides look mediocre can it be called a win-win…?

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Those helmet pads are allsome.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

I still can't believe Ewers ended up at Texas.

Oops!
Texas freshman DB Jaylon Guilbeau suspended from team

I am going to go out on a limb and say that there were likely similar actions last year that were not punished as severely as this.

Texas Football: Interesting notes from the latest spring practice

 

[Horns11]

If Hutson really is getting starting reps, I imagine Banks and Campbell will be in the mix as well. Hell, all of the 2022 guys are probably in the rotation at this point, considering our depth.

Every publication has to toe the "QB competition" line, but from what I've heard and seen, it's not even close.

It seems like every clip of Ewers I see, he puts the ball EXACTLY where it needs to be for the receiver and away from defenders. Exceptional judgement & accuracy. Of course many are in practice drills and some do not involve a defender, but.....

 

[baoklhorn]

Agree. But, coaches must see something good in his play / execution to make this significant change from DL to TE.....

Several things;
One is we need a big pass catcher with soft hands and speed.
Two, he wants to play offense not defense.

And what are you hearing and seeing?
Can you produce something.
Last scrimmage Sark they were almost identical.
Sark has also said Ewers is still learning the offense while Card knows it and can already tell where they heading with it.
Not that I expect Card to start.
But I think it's probably closer than you think.

It kind of lost me with this "247Sports’ Chip Brown". Hopefully, Chip didn't edit the quotes.

 

[WorsterMan]

Its still early, but me thinks Ewers is slowly edging out Card for the starting role with Sark, the coaches.... we will see.

Maybe. I get the sentiment of "hey they both completed 70% in the scrimmage" and what it means to the psyche of either of them to present it as a competition.

[mchammer]

Did anyone ask about the 10 yard minimum offense if both Card and Ewers played at the same time?

 

[2003TexasGrad]

I'm gonna start calling Ewers "Bohdi."

"It's just hair at the end of the day."

 

[X Misn Tx]

Ewers seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders

Both seem like really great young men.
Hope we can keep them both.

Card’s biggest problem last year was his inability to throw an accurate long ball. There were several crucial times last year where he missed wide open receivers way down field. His passes always seemed to drift. Unless he’s corrected that, I can’t see him as the starter.
