I guess we don’t need him this year given the switch of Voi Tunuufi and the emerge of Sekai Asoau-Afoa. If he’s going to be a true difference maker then I think you still want him to play but if he’s just a rotational guy then I think not burning a year is fine too. Especially given we lose ZTF and Trice next year.whatshouldicareabout said:Per Vorel, NCAA might not allow Durfee to play this season since he was at NDSU before transferring to Sioux Falls (and then transferring to UW)
Based on practice reports, I could see him as our #3 DE after Trice and ZTF -
I was wondering what happened to him. He wasn’t listed in the mock two deeps and the coaches raved about him in the Spring. That’s ridiculous if he can’t play.whatshouldicareabout said:Per Vorel, NCAA might not allow Durfee to play this season since he was at NDSU before transferring to Sioux Falls (and then transferring to UW)

If Asa plays like he did against Oregon State and Texas he will be all conference rather easily.RaceBannon said:
If he plays like he did against Oregon, bench him -
I hope he has a big year. Just because he is better than whatever else we throw out there does not mean he is a good player. He has not shown anything to be that level. Sometimes upperclassmen step up but I think he is what he is at this point.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

If he doesn't have a great senior year then go ahead and use the B1G money to replace Morrell.dirtysouwfdawg said:

You mean the team that couldn't throw a forward pass and happens to be playing in a massive wind storm? His missed tackle on one their shitty wr was what stuck with me that day. He missed an easy tackle for any pac12 starting safety and spring the guy for a big play. Maybe have been their biggest pass play. The wind was our best defender that day.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

He is not a physical player. But he is also not so good at everything else that it's like he would start for the majority of teams at the power 5 level. He is just the best we have. -
Our personnel was bad last year on the outside of the secondary, but the bad technique, lack of improvement and shitty calls had me more alarmed. Blown coverages late in the season. I would be surprised if he turned it around enough to justify his job security. The secondary was gifted a good pass rush last year and couldn't get off the field for long stretches.haie said:

Adding a true #1 CB with Jabar should help a ton
Dom Hampton is a liability until proven otherwise -
The doog in me is hoping that after playing almost nothing but zone for 3-4 years in the case of most players, switching to man and being on an island is a bit of a system shock.AtomicDawg said:

Also hoping for a bit of addition by subtraction not relying on Irvin and Perryman and at times throwing out true freshmen before that were ready.
Even our best corners of the Petersen era, getting help over the top, got burned a bunch when they were forced out there. Greene is a guy who I think they believe in long term. Davon Banks feels like a Jimmy recruit that will eventually hit the portal. Hampton is a TBS bust until he isn't. Really they're relying on Esteem to live up to the hype he's getting from practice. -
Hampton has been playing out of position. I'm willing to LIPO with him this yearPostGameOrangeSlices said:

The secondary’s a liability until it isn’t. Even with a slightly better secondary than last year this is still an 11 win team and I’m good with that.
If the secondary turns two 1st teamers, the d-line turns 1, and the LBs turn 1; I think something amazing is happening and we may sneak into the play off. We already know we’ll get at least one with the edges.
Anyways, we can’t have nice things so I’m happy with back to back 11 win seasons heading into the big12. -
The defense is a liability until it isn't. Hoping to win every game 44-37 is no way to win a championship. The defense will have to win a game or three at some point.

Like the Oregon State game?TheHB said:The defense is a liability until it isn't. Hoping to win every game 44-37 is no way to win a championship. The defense will have to win a game or three at some point.
That's a joke.
But...the defense started to step up some. OSU, Cal and Texas all kept the UW offense under control but UW made stops when it had to. WSU got some breaks to hang in for one half, but the front 7 had their way with them the whole game and it showed in the second half.
I'll deny this later (don't get all the screenshots you need), but I think the D could be pretty solid this year. -

In all seriousness our front 6/7 is capable of playing at a high level and did for stretches. How often was a qb running for his life but still completed a pass to convert a 1st down? It happened quite a bit. Our secondary was that bad. -
Several times in the Sparty and Cuog games off the top of my head. Both of these games should've been way bigger blowouts.AtomicDawg said:

I’m wanting a defense that doesn’t allow easy TDs and long scoring drives on the reg, and occasionally keeps the other team to 17 points.
I know that’s asking a lot. But if we’re thinking titles, let’s set a higher bar than what we saw last year. Because that won’t cut it. If the defense plays like it did a year ago, there are at least four losses on the schedule. -

The Dutchmen and Penix are now a known quantity in this moribund conference. Harder tim scoring their way out of shitty defense. -
The opener against Boise will be a huge litmus test. Will it be more of the same or a step forward? BSU is the MW favorite and some pundits pick to be the G5 rep in a NY6 game. If UW can’t hold these fags below 20, at home, after all the hype, then 3+ losses is most definitely on the table this year. 40-17 and I’m feeling pretty good. 40-28 and I’ll start counting coin flip games as losses.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Nothing would kill our B1G boners faster than a loss to Boise
