Taaffe said he was on FaceTime calls with Jahdae Barron and Andrew Mukuba over the weekend. He said both are having fun, but they’ve let him know how tough NFL training camp can be.

Taaffe says Ethan Burke and Colton Vasek are doing very well.

Vasek is making him sound like a truthful man after praising him this offseason. 

“There’s days when we think we really good, and we get absolutely burned,” Taaffe said when asked about the wideouts and defensive backs helping each other get better.

Taaffe says the hype about Parker Livingstone is definitely real. 

Sure-catcher and vertical threat. 

Says Derek Williams Jr. has looked like the freshman Derek Williams Jr. and has gained the trust of the staff. 

“He’s looking really good,” Taaffe said of Derek Williams’ return from injury. “He’s definitely gained the coaches’ trust.”

We’ve been told we’re getting Arch Manning. We’re waiting on QB1 to arrive.

Arch says its “us against the world” when on the road and that’s the mindset he has. 

Arch says Ryan Wingo had a “ridiculous catch” today and has put together some really strong days in practice over the last two weeks. 

Manning praised Deandre Moore 

Two wrs praised by Arch:

Daylan McCutcheon, smart and crafty.

Haircut puts an edge on Hill.

Definitely makes inside helmet cooler 😂 remember what happened to Sampson when he cut his hair? I'm never cutting my locs.

“I’m not a guy who seeks the media,” Manning said. “No offense, guys.”

Arch said he been dreaming about the opportunity he has right now, and he wants to take advantage of it.

Did anyone ask about his new haircut? Lol

 

Arch echoed what Sark said yesterday, that procedurally, the offense has been much better before the snap recently compared to earlier in camp.

Arch Manning says his grandfather Archie Manning ends every call with him with:

“Get down or get out of bounds.”

Just now, All Gas No Brakes said:

Did anyone ask about his new haircut? Lol

He said something to the effect of feeling it was time for a change.

Arch says the offensive line has been shuffled around, but putting together good days as of late. 

He says he feels like he’s being protected well.

So he's leaving????

“I said it because it’s true,” Manning said about why he said he doesn’t deserve to be in the Heisman discussion at SEC Media Days.

Arch said he’s ready to go out on the field and prove himself.

Arch has a Joe Burrow Arm… Erlinger toughness bout him ….in a Texas manly way !

Texas 42 - 12 osu

gonna be a beat down!

Arch said he probably wasn’t ready to play his freshman year. He said getting to sit back and watch helped a lot now that he’s the starter.
