Pool boy said Husky fans get more excited about a third down stop than a TD and then hired Sark
We? have evolved into we get excited over a two play 75 yard drive more than a 3rd down stop crowd -
My frustration is the defense is good enough to where the team should cook everyone on their schedule as long as the offense is as good as we think and it hasn't been. Also, if Durfee is at least better than ZTF, which is what I heard from practice, not having him is sucking.JoeEDangerously said:91 and 2016 are the two times we? Had a great offense and great defense at the same time. It’s hard to do both for some reason.

Third-down stops ain’t what they used to be because everyone goes for it on fourth down now.
I still think sacks and turnovers will get the crowd more pumped than anything this side of Taylor Swift. -

And defenders still do victory dances after 2nd down -

I'm actually kind of surprised everyone is so mad about the defense. They're limiting scores. They're getting interceptions. It's really fucking hard to get modern offenses off the field in four downs. It's also hard to get sacks when every offense gets the ball out in 1 second and has a mobile QB to boot.
I'm more concerned about the offense the past few games. I thought they'd be able to outscore everyone, especially if the defense gave them anything. When the D gave them the ball back against Oregon up 11 in the third that game should have been fucking over. Even a couple of long drives ending in field goals ends the fucking game instead of three and outs.
While sacks aren't the be-all end-all, they do tell part of the tale.
You say that it's hard to get sacks when every offense gets the ball out in one second with a mobile QB to boot.
Well, Penn State and Texas A&M have 29 sacks. Tennessee has 28 sacks. Oregon has 25 sacks.
Washington ranks 124th in the nation with 7 sacks.
To shrug it off as saying "it's hard", is something I can't agree with in discussion. -
I'm not sure that's true. It would have to be a definitive 3rd down stop but the fans still seem to get jackedRaceBannon said:Pool boy said Husky fans get more excited about a third down stop than a TD and then hired Sark

In today's day and age of forced offense for ratings and flags for breathing on a quarterback the wrong way, you can win with a d that slows down offenses in the red zone and steps up when they need to. I remember Belicheat doing that as far back as 20 years ago. I don't know if you can win with an average defense and an average at best running game though. At least
wearen't losing to Big Sky teams though. -
Yeah, but still. I'm not breaking new ground in saying the Huskies miss Jeremiah Martin. He and Trice were good at walling off both sides of the pocket so the QB couldn't escape unless he was Nix of the rapist level.DerekJohnson said:WoolleyDoog said:I'm actually kind of surprised everyone is so mad about the defense.

I might break some new ground in saying Martin wasn't that special and should have been easy to replace. He went undrafted and only made Cleveland's practice squad. Benning Potato has basically done that for four seasons now for reference. Instead of replacing Martin with some merc killer from the portal WE brought in a DII guy from South Dakota who's not allowed to play. -
Ohio State has 14 sacks with OUR defensive end
-
We? are lacking an interior pass rusher and I wonder if that guy was going to be Tuunufi until Durfee got ruled ineligible for no reason now they have to play a Voi on the outside more than they would have
