 Jalen Hurts ..................... received his master’s degree from Oklahoma.

Hurts was awarded a master’s degree in human relations at a commencement ceremony on Friday night.

Hurts began his college football career at Alabama and received a bachelor’s degree despite spending only three years with the Crimson Tide. He then spent one year playing at Oklahoma, where he began his graduate work, and finished the master’s degree while playing in the NFL.

Hurts has said in interviews that he was inspired by his mother, who both worked and studied for her master’s degree while raising him. And now he’s the next member of his family to get his master’s.

Good for him.  Definitely a positive role model.

I like that dude. Everyone basically wrote him off when he was mediocre at Bama and got yanked at halftime in the national championship game for Tua. Saban made the right call. Tua was the better QB at that point. Dude transfers to OU and is a legit Heisman candidate, gets drafted in the 2nd round, and is now a legit NFL MVP candidate. Hell yeah.

Honestly, with Rhule still being in charge (even in a diminished capacity) I'm surprised we even got Corral.

Rhule clearly didn't believe in drafting a quarterback to start, likely because he couldn't understand the difference between a college freshman and an NFL rookie.

The way he treated Corral bore that out.

Last night I went back and watched Rhule's minicamp pressers just to compare with Reich and man, he could not have seemed less interested in Corral. Joe Person asked about how he looked on day 1 and Rhule was basically like "Too early to say, next question"

Yeah, it was clear Corral was not a Rhule pick. I’m sure Howell would have been treated the same and we’d be sitting right here saying the same things about Howell that we’re saying about Corral.

Howell is gonna be a week one starter in year two. Corral hopes to actually be on an NFL roster in week one of year two. I rest my case on that one.

 

 A season ending injury in first preseason might have a little affect on that.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
