Person I think reported tepper really wanted Johnson.  If I am remembering that correctly.  He liked him before the process started and even more after the first meet.   

It really all came from what Tepper said on the sidelines from when we played the Lions at home. He said something like "we are watching a guy over there on the other sideline" and that was it. That carried the momentum for the love for Ben. Doesn't mean Tepper didnt love him, poo I wanted Ben...but was closely as excited with Frank and the super staff.

Rookie HCs are always concerning... just like the draft.. it can be a crapshoot

Colorado showed heart, but man that OC cost them a legit comeback with those runs up the middle.

I would LOVE to hear what the OC has to say after that dumb sh*t. What goes through coache's heads sometimes? Even your average madden player knows to not fuggin run the ball down 2 scores and only 4 minutes left. TF was that?

Well, this Texas/KU game might not be anymore competitive than the early games. Texas did whatever they wanted whenever they wanted to put up 7 on the first possession.

Ewers is doing a lot this year to help his draft stock hit the first round again.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
