He played awful tonight especially on the swing passes and anytime he had to cut.

C'mon now, sys, nubb knew that queso poses no threat down field and that e is basically immobile, so with the vanilla playcalling and nothing new coming from the wildcat formation, we were easy to figure out. DT is our only threat and this could be the beginning of a long long season.

D.T. is a tough yardage back. There's a place in the game for possession RBs like him. However, this team needs a homerun hitter because of our lack of serviceable QB play.

I hate to say it but DT might already be worn down by sheer number of carries.

we have ridden him so hard its not fair.  Powell looks great in there, when he gets in.  Way to go old balls.

falling down with no one near you, and getting knocked on your ass by lone tacklers isn't evidence of a defense's fear or lack of fear of a quarterback.  don't be a dumbass.

Oklahoma has abused Murray with 130 carries but Thomas is a close second with 127.  Only six backs in the entire country have 100 or more carries.  We are going to either break him or damage him beyond repair.

We've already played 5 games while the majority of the other teams in the nation have only played 4.  You think that may have anything to do with Thomas having the 2nd most carries in the nation?

You realize we had a bye last week, and yesterdays game replaces THIS saturday's game.  Most teams will play their 6th game tomorrow

Based on these threads, Iowa State is absolutely terrible. Texas Tech must be God awful then... I feel really bad for teams that have lost to us.

You guys should probably start looking for a new defensive coordinator, too.

no QB, no deep threat....no Daniel Thomas.


This isn't hard.

The guy touches the ball ALL THE rough ridin' TIME, he's a great running back - I'm sure he knows that he has to carry this whole motherfucking team on his back all the goddamn time and with him trying to evade an entire defense he can't look stellar every down.

no, those were overrated recruits.  i'm talking about people that an entire fanbase (albeit a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) one) saw play for a long time, like a season or so, and thought were good, when really they were very poor.


i'm trying to think of a bball comparo, but can't.  i think all the bball players that people thought were good really were good.  it's a more honest sport.

Post by: Skipper44 on October 09, 2010, 03:40:29 PM
I hate to do this comparo, but DT's struggles v defenses w/ the tools to stop him is a little like Bill Walker's struggles vs Texas and KU for a lesser extent.

BB is def more of an indvidual game and therefor more honest

DT = awesome, and has carried our offense because no one else can.  Any type of offensive support would only make Thomas look even more awesome.

i've moved from thinking Daniel Thomas is a great RB to DT is a very good running back. It's hard to compare him to others with the absolute crap around him. But he just looked different last night. He's gonna wear out by the end of the year, if he hasn't already.

Can I say it? He often waits TOO long and looks for contact TOO much... rather than hitting the hole a little faster and/or looking for open field. Still a good RB, but kind of frustrating at times.

He ran harder in the 2nd half . . . maybe he got an OB talking to . . .

this is not a good point. 100 yds and a td.  and we know how much everyone else sucks.  what would his numbers look like if they didn't?

I think he was wore down after game 4.

Wouldve been nice to see a Powell/Thomas mix to limit the wear-down factor, but TMRCSOAT can't figure that out.
