    Sam is more gifted than DMo, but both guys are not tough guys. Sam has still not hit puberty.

    Penix is so good because he's genuinely not scared of anything on the football field. (Also really talented obv.)

    That's why he will look off guys, etc. He's not freaking out waiting for his primary target to be open and staring him down.

    Penix obviously has that intangible that UW hasn't seen since Price (at times) and Tui, where they see the field well and have a feel for where and when the pressure is coming.

    It doesn't hurt that he's hardly been pressured at UW and only hit once or twice on drop backs through three games. Huard and Morris have never had that benefit in a UW uniform.

    I don't recall a Husky scheme that worked in years

    Usually a bunch of motion and shifts leads to false starts

    Disciplined and it gets guys open

    Doog it up

    This is exactly what I said on the podcast. Under Pete they'd start motioning guys around and you almost wanted to look away because you knew there would be an illegal shift or a muffed snap coming.

    This is a good point. UW has been great in pass pro thus far.

    However, Penix has already suffered devastating injuries in his career and he really doesn't seem to care. I think he's just a different guy.
