HRYK, until Washington faces a team that plays nickel defense man handles Rome and McMillen at the line of scrimmage and forces Washington to run 25 times a game.

Nobody’s physically manhandling Rome (or Polk) at the line and I don’t think anyone’s quick enough to do it to Jalen either.

There are too many options to shut us down. We will face a team that will have a CB good enough to shut down one guy. All three aren’t getting shut down. No team has that.

Add in Westover gaining Penix’s trust, the big play ability of Bernard, and an OL that has given Penix time to throw ever since he has played for UW. Point is, the only guy we depend on is really Penix.

I think the Kwatcox defense was a problem schematically last season. I know both Texas and even Cal had some talent in the secondary too, but they were doing something that either the Deboer offense or Grubb the play caller had a hard time adjusting too.

That's the only thing that could get in the way. I'm just not scared of Cal though, and Texas would be a long way down the road before they're a concern

It would seem the way to disrupt the UW offense would be to make them dink and dunk and take away the big pass plays. It’s obviously easier said than done because nobody seems to be able to do it.

TheHB

Starts with the line. Keep Penix upright and he can go all night long.

whlinder

The usual kryptonite for offenses like ours is a defensive line that can generate pressure without blitzing.

We're going to have to dink and dunk at some point. Hopefully we're patient and disciplined enough to do it properly for long drives.

dannarc

We can talk offense all day long, but after the MSU game, I feel better about the defense. There will become a game when the offense will not be firing and we will need more possessions to score. The '91 defense ain't walking through that door, but a defense that can get timely stops will be the difference maker this season on how far we go. IMO

RaceBannon

The 2nd half against Texas UW stopped forcing it and had two long clock killing drives for 14 points
