i think demarco murray will get some serious playing time in multiple spots from what ive heard of his ability, i think you could put him in the slot to screw defenses up and play some running back.

as for QB i think nichol has a solid shot because heupel and stoops went after him hard after the coaching change as MSU, i dont think they wouldve brought in a highly touted freshmen just to back up bradford for four years. i like bradford and and if in stoops' mind he was an obvious starter i think they wouldve recruited a lesser QB to develop instead of nichol who could probly get a starting job elsewhere

I agree, but that would mean that Jamarcus Russell decides to come back and I'd bet he is leaning toward going pro. If he stays I'd say Flynn. If not I'd say Bradford.

The Consumate Showman
1/4/2007, 12:08 PM
Flynn isn't coming; Bradford isn't likely either; Halzle maybe; Nichol, most likely, IMO. We didn't bring him in to put him on the shelf.

RB's- AP starting. Brown, Madu, and Murray to spell him in that order. I wouldn't be surprised to see AP and Murray stacked beside each other, too.

OL - I think we go Cooper, Walker, Duke, Braxton, and Loadholt/Williams...it's hard to get a read on which will take that last tackle spot because I have been told by someone that would know that a lot of the staff thinks Trent Williams could very well be the best PLAYER regardless of position on the team; but, Loadholt is a manchild freakazoid.

WR's - Malcolm for sure. Next is between Iglesias and Manuel. Then we look at Tennell to back up Malcolm. Lastly, Chaney might see more time IF he works hard this year, and look for Murray to split to the slot from the RB position.

TE's - I think it should be Gresham all the way, but apparently our coaches think Joe Jon is doing something special.

Defense

DE's - Big John should have a BIG year. Dotson should work well also. We have to pray for health there though because that will most likely be our shallowest spot for depth.

DT's - Should be loaded. Look for Bennett and Coleman to start early on, but by the ed, Granger and McCoy should be starting.

LB's - Should be solid yet again. I think Reynolds, Lofton, and Reed will start with Pleasant, Robinson, and Beal spelling them some.

CB's - I HOPE we move Reggie back to CB. He is far better suited to play CB than Safety, as shown in the Fiesta Bowl. Opposite him, I look for Marcus to start and Lendy and Brian Jackson to sub.

Safeties - Look for Harris for sure, Darien Williams, and Malcolm Williams (as long as he gets on campus and makes the grade) to come in. Dom Franks should be seeing some time as will Jonathan Nelson. Keenan Clayton might end up having a break out year if he can prove to the coaches he has learned how to tackle and make reads.

K/P - Hartley and Cohen.

Not to nitpick too much and I know rivals isn't the end-all but you know that Bradford last year wan't rated not too much below Nichol this year. Not enough to discount the progress that Bradford has been widely praised for making by the coaching staff. We brought in Gerald McCoy last year as well who was rated higher than any lineman and I think will be a monster yet he wound up redshirting. I'm not saying that Nichol won't turn out to be the better player but Bradford has a year in the program and I don't think that the fact that we are bringing in Nichol means that he won't have to win the job.

I don't think it will be Halzle. I think he probably has the least upside of the 3 and could wind up being the #2 if the job is Bradford's or the #3 if Nichol wins it.

As long as there is a good competition in the spring and then the guy is picked and we run with him, I'm good with whoever it is.

I agree except for one thing that will help him. HE will have all winter, spring, and summer with Heupel and wilson and that cant hurt his progress too badly. I wouldnt discount him being in there because I hear he is physically ready, its just a matter if he can get up to speed mentally

Nothing really insightful but I have heard the same things. Murray as a possible kick/punt returner as well as being moved around in the slot, shot-gun, and possible qb scenarios. That would be exciting for sure, they said once he got healthy and got a look in the bowl practices he was as good as advertised

Don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than for Bradford to get the nod. But Sam really doesn't seem to be the type of running/passing QB that KW seems to want...ya know what I mean?

Sam is more of a "pro-style" QB, and Nichol is more of the "dual-threat" kid. If you go back and watch some old Northwestern video of when KW was the OC, their QB's were more of the type to be a dual threat and run with the ball if needed or stay in the pocket and throw it.

I'm just going on what our OC seems to favor. Now, the big hurdle for KW to get over, IMO, is going to be Stoops. Is Bob going to let our QB go out there and run the ball if KW wants or is Bob going to be more conervative and not want his QB taking a bunch of hits like McGee at AtM?

Oh the spring...I can't wait. It should be fun!

Oh, and about McCoy, I was sooo surprised we didn't get him in there this year, but he seems to be taking it pretty well. I think he knows he will benefit from the red shirt more than anyone. He should be much bigger and faster in '07 and should be able to man-handle a lot of D-1 OLinemen.

meoveryouxinfinity
1/4/2007, 08:17 PM
I went through 3 years of seeing Bradford at starting quarterback. Saw approximately 40 games. One thing I noticed about Sam, even as a senior, he had a very strong arm and threw a bunch of touchdowns, but also a lot of interceptions. Our receivers were short and only one is playing at the next level (Kenny Brown- Texas A&M). Not to mention last year we had absolutely NO running game. O-line was terrible too. He was impressive his junior year but definitely didn't live up to the hype last year. Makes me wonder how he would do behind a good line and with a running game. Oh, the kid is a FREAK at basketball.. should be playing hoops!

with the o-line we will have, whoever steps in at qb is going to have a MUCH easier time than the idiot did in '05. i dont think that we are going to have a problem playing an unexperienced qb. colt mccoy showed that with a great line, a freshman could play qb at a big-time school. add to that the plethora of rb's we have and three amazing wr's, and whoever is taking snaps will have a heck of a year. bradford has a year in the system, but with josh coaching nichols could catch up real quick. i just hope we pick one in the spring and STICK WITH HIM! on d, granger and mccoy will be giants. no running up the middle against us. nic harris will probably become a true roy backer. another thing ive thought is the way that allen patrick hits and played db in hs and juco, and the way dj ran in hs, maybe have them switch sides of the ball? just a thought...

Next year's 2 Deep:

RB: Alen Patrick, Chris Brown, Mosias Madu. DeMarco Murray will be utilized like Reggie Bush was at USC....some at RB and some at WR.
FB:Eldridge, Zaslaw
TE: Greasham, Finley
Tackles: Braxton, Williams, Loadholdt, Brandon
Guards: Robinson, Walker, Simmons, Moore
Center: Cooper, Beeler
WRs: Kelly, Iglesias, Johnson, Tennell
Kicker: Hartley

DEs: Dotson, Williams, English, Cummings, Tim Johnson
Tackles: Granger, McCoy, Bennett, Coleman, Blackard
LBs: Reed, Reynolds, Lofton, Pleasant, Robinson
CB's:Walker, Holmes, Wolf, Franks
Safeties: Smith, Williams, Clayton, Harris, Bowers

The defense should be absolutely sick next year. The only concern is depth at DE.

This will be the most depth OU has had in the OL, RB and DT position since Stoops has been here.

I fully expect Bradford to win a heated battle with Halzle but I wouldn't be too suprised or disppointed if Halzle started.

Even if Russel does leave (which he shouldn't, he's not ready for the pros in my opinion), Flynn is not going to be the starter. Leslie Miles probably had to make 5 star recruit Ryan Perrilloux some big promises to lure him away from the whorns after he already commited. Miles dosen't owe Flynn a thing, so I think LSU will go with Perrilloux next season. Flynn is solid, vetern player, he's probably a smart guy, already graduated. Him comming to OU would be great fit. Gives the two young qbs another year to improve to stage an epic quarterback battle the next year when they are both a little more ready to play. Flynn, I believe, can lead us places next year.

Speaking of Keith Nichol...have any of you students been able to meet him and welcome him to Oklahoma?

I hear the kid is a really good, grounded guy - so I'll take it on faith that he knows he has to earn a starting job, not just expect it to be handed to him. ESPECIALLY at Oklahoma.

(I sure hope he learns how to handle our summers, though. I lived in UP Michigan for four years, and their idea of a heat wave is our idea of a spring breeze.)

That's not good. To condition himself, he should sit in a blast furnace, pads on. That'll get him ready for July and August in OK. Nothing like 100+ degrees and 30 mph winds at the same time...doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

I agree. Our RB situation reminds me of a few years ago when we had AD, Kejuan Jones, DJ Wolfe before he moved to D, Tashard Choice, and Courtney Tenniel- almost too many good backs to chose from. For next year, I believe that Brown has the most potential of all of them, but really you can't go wrong with Patrick or Madu or DeMarco Murray.

Yeah, I'd agree. AP has done great as the number two this year, but I like what I've seen out of Brown a little more in terms of finishing runs. AP is a bit of a stumbler.

Pure conjecture on my part, though.

That's not good. To condition himself, he should sit in a blast furnace, pads on. That'll get him ready for July and August in OK. Nothing like 100+ degrees and 30 mph winds at the same time...doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Oklahoma isn't that hot.

Oklahoma isn't that hot.

first, it was a joke...second...oh nevermind...

besides, if you think those two meteorological events do not ever take place in Oklahoma you should come visit us in August.

i like bradford and and if in stoops' mind he was an obvious starter i think they wouldve recruited a lesser QB to develop instead of nichol who could probly get a starting job elsewhere

please tell me you aren't serious

First, I know. It was pretty obvious.

Second, I live in Norman. I hear people complain about the weather enough for my liking. It really isn't bad for me, but then again, I grew up in Houston which is much worse with the heat.

John Blake's Starting Offense Lineup:

"The Heisman Candidate" QB: Trent Williams (Hey, LSU sent an OL into the NFL as a QB, why not us???)
The "make 'em miss guy" RB: Joe Jon Finley
"Mr. Big Play" WR: Demarcus Granger
"Grab 'n go" slot WR: Michael Cohen

"The BIG Guys"
Allen..........Jacob..........DeMarco..........Chr is..........Mossis
Patrick.......Gutierrez......Murray............Bro wn.........Madu

"The Wall" FB: Manuel Johnson
"Big Guns" TE: Kieth Nichol


Throw in two or three more "athletes" and there you have it... errr, eleven, I think... BIG 12 CHAMPS!!!

IMO Bradford will be our starting QB, I may be biased b/c i went to highschool and played football w/him, but his athletic ability, arm strength, and field smarts, as well as leadership are a lethal combination. His Sr. year was not great because as previously stated, he did not have an O-Line, or a running game so teams would drop eight, and a few times even nine into coverage. Look for him to take the reigns in the fall

QB? I have no idea Hazle, Bradford, probably not a true freshman like Nicholl


RB: Alen Patrick, Chris Brown, Mosias Madu
FB: Zaslaw, Clapp
TE: Greasham, Finley
Tackles: Braxton, Williams, Loadholdt
Guards: Robinson, Walker
Center: Cooper
WRs: Kelly, Iglesias, Chaney, Tennell
Kicker: Hartley

DEs: Dotson, Williams
Tackles: Granger, McCoy, Bennett, Coleman
LBs: Reed, Reynolds, Lofton
CB's:Walker, Holmes
Safeties: Smith, Williams, Clayton

should be pretty solid
Smith is starting at corner this year. He has been moved back.

Smith may be moved there just for the spring. It depends on if anyone plays well at safety.

Next year's 2 Deep:

RB: Alen Patrick, Chris Brown, Mosias Madu. DeMarco Murray will be utilized like Reggie Bush was at USC....some at RB and some at WR.d.

I like that set-up. I was hoping KW would do that more last year (with AP or Gute) playing that roll. Maybe he =would have if AD didn't get hurt.

Hey, Sam, you've posted this in three different threads now.

Good to have you on the boards with us. Don't let Coach Stoops find out.

Oh, and best of luck in the QB competition this Spring!
