This was a topic on John and Lance’s show this morning with Richard Justice on. They were talking about how talented UT is and they were just as talented in 01 when facing the same situation of having to play Colorado this year in the BigXII Championship. They said the difference is everyone knows the leader of the Longhorn team this year is Vince Young. Then they started talking about the Texans and how this has become a problem. And they played a very telling clip from Marc and Rich’s show. They were interviewing a defensive player (sorry I forgot which one) and asked him who the leaders on the team were. He mentioned Wong and Payne. They asked what about the offense and after thinking he replied Weigert. Then Marc finally had to ask him if Carr was a leader. You guys who think this stuff is overblown, I’m not so sure after hearing that. Did anyone else hear because I really wish I remembered who it was.
Have you ever been on a losing football team? I was. The f'n QB was crying the play in the huddle. I had to knock him upside the head, because if his head wasn't in the game, we had no chance at all. These players desparately want to win. They don't like losing and if one player (Walker), thinks Carr is out of line because he's not taking advice from his coach, he might speak up. I don't think Carr is spoiled. I think he is fed up with the results of the losing games. The fact that they can't play 4 quarters. I think Walker needs to pick his fights wisely, because quarterbacks and coaches don't always agree and defensive players, should stay out of it. I thought Carr proved that he has the tools, if he has the talent around him. The pass to Mathis in the Browns game and the last pass to Bradford were impressive throws. Those are the kinds of throws I'd like to see more of. Just not when the game is on the line.
