Enquiring Minds Want to Know

Here at LandThieves, our #1 non-Sooner player is Baylor senior John David Weed. Today, we decided to do a little research to see how the Weed is faring this spring. I was hoping he was blossoming into a starter.

A perusal of the WacoTrib site indicates John David Weed is playing receiver. Or he would be, but has a broken hand. A review of the Baylor roster on the web site indicates JDW is playing two different positions; IR per the alphabetical sort and QB per the numerical roster. Frankly, I know what IR is in pro football, in Art Briles schemes, IR could mean Injured Reserve, Inside Receiver, if I Retire you can play. I did find out today that to develop weed, they develop stronger outside. I'm sure that's the reason JDW was moved out from under center. Here at LandThieves, we'll keep you posted.

LandThieves also noted that Coppell great Tyler Deloach is listed in two different positions as well, once as QB, once as a WR.

With Briles devising plays, he might just put 5 QB/WRs on the field at once, and rotate them at all positions. The double reverse pass could become commonplace in the Big 12 South.

I am very disappointed to hear this HT. With the B's new receiver, Mr Blount, I was writhing in anticipation to hear John Morris call out, "Its a Weed to Blount connection!"

Guess it just won't happen...

sorry to break the news to you. With Briles as the coach, the double reverse pass to a WR is still a distinct possibility.
