    Washington didn't look good. He looked pretty hesitant. Before the last series, Coleman looked like shit too. 11 for 41 which is very marginally better than what Washington did. Coleman looked pretty slow and lumbering to me. I blame the OL more than any RB. There were very few holes until the end of the game. I'll wait for the preseason to be over before anointing any RB.

    The last first down Coleman picked up was actually really FS. I was yelling as he ran down the sideline, worried a Hawaii defender would push him out. It could have, and should have been a huge blunder. He did step out too and we got lucky. If he stays in bounds, there's very little time left. By going out of bounds, Hawaii would have had 35 seconds to get into field goal position.

    Coleman should walk home from Sea-Tac for that.

    I wonder how Lindquist's swim home is going...

    I thought Coleman showed decent quickness, but maybe it was just in comparison to Washington, who was indecisive as fuck, and Cooper and Callier, who are just worthless. As for the "first down", it almost fucked us, but it's hard to fault a kid for trying to be aggressive and make a play that would end the game. It's hypocritical to bash the team for playing like a bunch of timid pussies and also bash the one kid who actually tried to make something happen.

    Hawaii has 4 rturning starters on the offensive line. They played like it but we settled in for the most part on 2nd and 3rd down. Hawaii is going to run the ball on everyone they play.

    As les Miles said about us in '09..."that was an 0-12 team?"

    You Doogs who are worried about this shit need to listen to puppylove_sexappeal. He has this shit dialed in big time.

    That is such a sad reality.

    ...By the middle of the 3rd quarter, you could see that Petersen had made a decision to do whatever he could to protect the defense and asked them to go win the game. If you want a bright spot for the offense in the 2nd half, it was having 2 reasonably good drives with 8 minutes to go...

    If Peterman had it all figured out by mid-Q3, why did it take until mid-Q4 to just give the ball to Coleman and Washington? Several of us noted on Friday that the sure way for Lindy to seal his career starting record at 1-0 was to just hand it off and stay out of the way. The Q3 playcalling was horrid, did the deer-in-headlights QB no favors.

    Hawaii was playing like this could be their last season. They may have sucked last year but this needs to be stated.
