This is incorrect. No way Brewster is better than Gideon. While Gideon is the weak link in the starting 4, he is much better than Brewster and light years ahead of last year (thank god).
Usually, if all 4 starters are healthy (which hasn't been the case the last 2 games), Williams and Curtis Brown (much better than Chykie) are the starting CBs with Thomas and Gideon as safeties. When Williams has been healthy, he is the nickel back and Chykie comes in as a corner. With Williams not 100% the last couple games, Muschamp will move Thomas to the nickel (to cover a slot) and bring in Brewster....which is when I usually have a heart attack...
That all being said, it will be interesting to see how Muschamp uses Christian Scott in the NCG; he just came off of academic suspension and will be eligible to play. By all accounts, he would have been the starter over Gideon and he is hands down a more dynamic player than Gideon. Interesting to see how he works in after playing in no games the whole year.
I never post (obviously) but I had to correct that....Brewster scares the living sh*t out of me when he's back there.

^Does Brewster scare you because of his youth? When I've watched him play he seems to be in the right position. He does miss tackles though.

Do Texas fans really compare wins over OU and Nebraska to Bama's wins over Va Tech, LSU, and UF?
I understand anything can happen in a 1 game playoff, but I don't see how you could consider Texas an equal to Bama given their body of work.
I realize the Aggie's have a top 10 passing attack that bombed you guys, but so did Mallet and look what Bama did to him.
Bama had some down games, but they never had close to the defensive breakdown UT had against A&M.
Nor did our offense ever perform as bad as you guys did vs. Nebraska (and we played tougher offenses and defenses).

my main concern is mccoy being able to throw in front of the receivers on short passes. our secondary is fantastic on any pass they can get underneath, but mccoy is an amazing qb... and i'm pretty positive he's in the 70%'s when around the 15 yard range.
*edit* without reading any posts before mine... i just thought it would be appropriate to say how much the thread topic made me start thinking of secondaries... and so i started thinking about my main fear... and so i voiced it. so what! wanna fight about it?

quote:
8. Javier Arenas, Alabama – Arenas is not only a good cornerback, but he is a great returner and last season he returned three punts for touchdowns. He has the ability to score every time he touches the ball with great speed and elusiveness as a returner. As a cornerback he has good ball skills, but is short standing in 5' 9". Arenas does have good size weighing almost 200 pounds. He isn’t a shutdown corner but he can cover man to man and also is good in zone coverage. He is effective supporting the run, and come off the edge on the blitz. But what makes Arenas so special is his ability as a game changer in the return game. This season so far on defense has 45 total tackles 8.5 tackles for loss, 4 sacks and one interception. In the return game he has 19 punt returns for 320 yards (16.8 average per return) and 10 kick off returns for 278 yards (27.8 average per return).
The only thing hurting his draft status in that scouting report is his size. And, in the NFL, size DOES matter.

IMO i think UF's is better but that all depends on how much pressure is on the QB...cause against Bama without Dumbass Dulap we did nothing to GMac and he made it seem like no one but Haden was trying to cover anyone....if he plays like that again then Texas has no chance

Welcome. Are you Ryan Smith?

It's not youth-he's the same year as Gideon. He's just not as good. I tend to think he's often just a bit out of position to make the play.
As far as impressive wins, Alabama has more I think. None as impressive as the UF win.
