Our defense was never tired. They faced 57 snaps. Most players played around 45 at most.

When did I push the time line back? Go read my posts in this thread, I've always said it'll be after the season before he's healthy. Google can be your friend. Or go ask a doctor. Pretty much any thumb surgery the MINIMUM time frame given for full recovery is 3-6 months. I'll do the math...

That can be YOUR opinion, but it's not mine. Three weeks in December before a playoff game isn't the reset he needs. He'll get that reset after the season. But haters gonna hate, right?

The good news? With BV solidifying his job, we have plenty of money to get rid of Moser after the season.

There you got. That is the thought path it takes to get to Mateer being much better than he's been. He needs a mental reset, and he probably won't get that until the offseason, though I would expect him to look better in a playoff game simply by having 3 weeks to help "reset". He was much...

CONFIDENCE. It's not that difficult to understand. WHEN Mateer is much better next year, you'll back track and chalk it up to some miraculous offseason work he put in, or it finally coming together, rather than acknowledging he could have been that guy this year if healthy. Dude just needs to...

Bashing Barnes for not playing and bashing Mateer and the staff for playing him as soon as possible. That is typical WS flip flopping depending on the circumstances.

Exactly. It's not difficult to see how a physical injury could impact things mentally.

My thumb injury was when I was in college. So I was hardly old, and I'm still not fat. What a dumb ass thing to say.

Look at how they "rank" the offense. Hardly terrible.

It's why he started the season buried. The coaches all knew it, but eventually the pressure of a) the struggling running game, and b) the fan expectation of Ott starting and doing well, forced them to give him a shot. Dude proved UNPLAYABLE in a pretty limited number of snaps.

A thumb that he HURT? It was broken. He had surgery. He has screws. He still wears a brace. You saw him wince when a fan simply shook his hand before the Tennesee game. Have you never had surgery on anything like that? A broken bone? A torn ligament? And you think he is "healthy"? Good...

The three full games before his injury were a 90.6, and 76.8, and an 83.4. That doesn't grade out to backup. You literally proved my point. His three best games were the three games he played injury free. I get that competition wasn't great in two of those, but it's the only data we have to...

You all are nuts. You really think he's FULLY recovered from that surgery? I can tell you first hand he's not. I had surgery on my thumb and it was damn near a year before it felt normal. Being cleared to play and being 100% or anywhere close are two different things. The man has screws in...

I just want to see him healthy again. I'm not saying ALL of his struggles are due to his injury, but I am saying most of them started/began afterwards. I never thought he looked like a 1st round NFL draft pick before the injury, but he was PLENTY good enough for OU to win a NC. I'm still...
