I would say…yes. But it won’t just be TW. It will be a concerted effort by all eleven OU defensive players on the field under the guidance of Coach BV’s blitz packages to ‘GET TO THE QUARTERBACL WITH PREMEDITATED MALICE AND BAD INTENT INTACT.’
Bama has no running game per se. Ty Simpson is not Trinidad Chambless or Marcel Reed. In fact, Ty Simpson does not run nearly as well as John Mateer. This means both safeties can play high and the corners can play agressively on the edge. This means put TY Simpson on the ground or at the least disrupt his 2.5 second rythmn so as he can throw another pick six or two. Two pick sixes would be even better.
This TW interview just after the Alabama road win is what I love to see from our players. I love what he had to say. If you were listening closely what you should have heard TW say was, ‘We as a team and a defense have not come close to playing a full game at our full potential this entire season.’
That’s the sentence MJ most took from this interview and stuck on his bulletin board. That being said, ‘ We haven’t played our best game yet.’
I want to feature Kip Lewis on my next OU profile heading into the CFP game versus Alabama. The two guys on this team who in my view picked up the leadership slack the most after the injury loss of R Mason are Taylor and Kip Lewis. I love these guys as if they’re blood sons by now. That’s the way real OU fans like MJ think. Not the ignorant as shit callers we listen to on the Jim Traber Show.
If the Thunder vs. Suns game turns out to be competitve tonight…I’ll cover it here on America’s No.1 in objective quality NBA content blog. If the game is a blowout as I suspect it might be….I’ll write about another NBA contender given I only see perhaps five in…OKC, Denver, Houston*, maybe Clevelend, and maybe Detroit as contenders as currently constructed. Maybe Boston is No. 6 as well if they get Jayson Tatum back in time.
It’s a beautiful sunny day at the Deer Creek mini-ranch. I need to get some things done outside.
Have a beautiful Wednesday.
Let’s go run down a dream, guys. It’s there in front of you to be had. I wouldn’t lie. See it? It’s there to be had.
MJ
