Penix & wr speculation

He missed a play during the ASU game last yearWoolleyDoog said:
I'd be shocked if he's not hurt in some capacity at least. If he goes two full seasons at UW without ever missing a single play due to injury that's a win.TheRoarOfTheCrowd said:The guy is hurt and has been playing through it... last year and the first games of 2023 he was throwing dimes with absolute accuracy at a rate of 78% [first 6 games this year, don't know the number for last year] and now he is throwing even short passes with an adventure to be hauled in by the receivers. So he is HURT and has been playing through it. Yes he ahs still made some big plays, but his accuracy is obviously not the same and its not in his head, its his body which is undoubtedly affecting his headspace as well, but it the body he has been struggling with. Could not be more clear ~ at least that is my take.

I think Penix & Co have a game left in them.bisonduck said:
That was some weird shit. He looked like he left in a body bag. The double entendre was palpable. That offense has no gas in the tank.Kaepsknee said:
That might explain his crying in a supply box.jecornel said:I have zero insight on this but I’m wondering if Mike is so banged up they are limiting practice reps to the bare minimum. The offense is so out of sync it could be a real possibility.
If Grubb doesn’t design a game plan to make his life easier on Friday there will be seppuku on the forum. -
Let’s hope so. I’m not hitchhiking to Vegas for nothing.jecornel said:I think Penix & Co have a game left in them.

What exactly is hurt? And why, if he's hurt, are we continuing to keep the high-difficulty playbook intact while he also runs more than he has since he was at Indiana?TheRoarOfTheCrowd said:The guy is hurt and has been playing through it... last year and the first games of 2023 he was throwing dimes with absolute accuracy at a rate of 78% [first 6 games this year, don't know the number for last year] and now he is throwing even short passes with an adventure to be hauled in by the receivers.

His accuracy really hasn't been the same since USC, the Apple Cup was just the culmination of it with no weather related excuses to mask itAtomicDawg said:
He had started using his legs and they had even called qb runs in the red zone the last two games prior to wazzu. He didn't scramble much if at all on Saturday. The most puzzling thing was his inaccuracy as it really hasn't been an issue for two years and then it was horrible for the apple cup. Could be injury related but who knows.GreenRiverGatorz said:If he looked even remotely hurt in any of the last five games I might believe it. But he's looking physically fine - no limping (he's actually initiating contact more than ever before), his throwing mechanics look normal, and his arm strength is 100% there.
I think this is 100% on Grubb. I'm not smart enough to know the finer details here, but Penix looks like he's being asked to make elite throws with a consistency that not even NFL starters regularly achieve. And this is snowballing into frustration and the elite throws are devolving into huge whiffs. Grubb needs to give his QB some easy buckets to get back on track. And apparently he needs to do this in five days. -
So, we all assume 2016 Brownsox got dinged up against Cal (I think?) and never put up the same passing splits. Which from a numbers perspective is true, he had a clear delineation from elite numbers back to just good.
Penix seems to have had the same occur with his splits before and after Oregon.
Brownsox never got right of course, even with a month off before the Peach Bowl. -
I believe his ribs are the problem. It’s playing through pain. Thus creating inconsistent accuracy.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Legend has it Browning was hurt on this play against Boovbers.whlinder said:So, we all assume 2016 Brownsox got dinged up against Cal (I think?) and never put up the same passing splits. Which from a numbers perspective is true, he had a clear delineation from elite numbers back to just good.

The point Gatorz made is a good one. If his ribs are hurt, why doesn’t the game plan reflect it?

Does anyone remember fall camp and Penix taking a week off from practice because of “arm fatigue”? Maybe his arm just isn’t right and they are sitting him at practice in hopes that it will liven up for game days. The receivers are running the routes to where Morris or Mack are throwing them and Mikes throwing them where he thinks they should be. Timing is all off. Just a guess.TheHB said:The point Gatorz made is a good one. If his ribs are hurt, why doesn’t the game plan reflect it?
