OT question
-
One proviso though on the L or R thing. Some teams like the OSUs Bamas, etc. are so loaded with talent that their RTs are just as talented as their LT and it's a coin flip on which plays which side. Also some of their Gs make the transition to OTs as they lose players to the draft. Had to play that talent somewhere on the field, so they get "parked" until their time comes.

I can agree with this......and, in those instances, rather than the "best" guy on the left.....Id expect the faster(more athletic) player to go left and the stronger-slower player on the right.....

Jake Matthews played RT while Luke Joeckel played left and switched to LT his senior year when Luke went pro. Jake is now Atlanta's starting Superbowl LT.
And "little brother" Luke Matthews, the 4th of four sons of Bruce to play at A&M, has verbally committed to sign with us in 2018 and is considered by the other 3 brothers to be the best of the bunch.

Just struck me that the powerhouse Catholic football school thing is a northern thing...
Sitting here trying to think of a Texas version of a Cleveland St. Josephs or St. Eds... Is there a Shake(?) Jesuit either in Dallas or Houston?

It's not done here. Private school prospects are approached with great caution south of about Tennessee.

Gary Kubiak came out of one of those in Houston.
From Wiki: "Kubiak passed for a then state-record 6,190 yards as a quarterback for St. Pius X High School of Houston, Texas, where he was given the nickname "Koob". Twice named to the all-state football, basketball, baseball, and track teams, he was inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame in 1999. Kubiak graduated St. Pius X in 1978."

OTs...
LTs tend to be drafted more and higher as they tend to be the better of those at the college level... same as the pros. Doesn't mean a college RT won't be drafted, e.g. our own Shon Coleman, but many aren't... at least not to play OT.
Most LTs, due to their superior athleticism, can make the transition and flip to the opposite side, but some can't and more are diminished by the move. Kind of a righty-lefty thing.
Ever try brushing your teeth using your other hand?
Safeties...
Not really my area, but I see the classic FS and SS skill sets being different. I think of FSs being more suited to pass support and zone coverage. Meanwhile when I think SSs, I think run support and man coverage.
One thing in common is that both should be very sure tacklers being in more last line of defender positions during play, but even in that SSs are more often comparative "thumpers" to FSs.
As the game has changed, passing has increaased though, it seems the differences have lessened and interchangeability has increased in value.

I should have remembered that one... bunch of Texas HS football championships there when I was really into TX HS ball.
Still when I think TX dynasties I think Plano and Permian... and Midland Lee... and Converse Judson!... Beaumont Westbrook...

Didn't say no one ever made it.

Westbrook is a dynasty? I'm honestly asking.
No idea now.... but once upon a time...
Also forgot about Port Neches Grove... I have a great PNG story to tell over a beer someday...
