Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Does anyone think the up-tempo offense will mask our O-line?

    A little, maybe. You still have to pass block at times. We can't come close.

    Not sure why you would want to get in a track meet with the teams in this conference. I would have swung the pendulum more in the direction of Stanford with a more threatening passing game.

    But it is not my job on the line.

    As for the Oline, 72 sacks over the last 2 seasons does not fill me with confidence.

    Up tempo for this group means lots of three and outs, plus a gassed defense. Sark is getting too cute. Simplify the offense and game plan to the strengths of the team or perish.

    If Price is throwing the football as soon as it reaches his hands, defenses will be quick to adjust and really get up on the receivers. And then Kasen's inability to create separation could become a true liability. Especially if the running game doesn't loosen things up.

    I still think Mickens will emerge as a playmaker and obviously ASJ's height is a great weapon for delivering quick throws.

    Mickens is still having drop problems as per the practice reports...looks like John Ross could take his spot.

    Mickens will RISE to the occasion

    I would like to get excited about Ross, but I remember the reports on Mickens from last year saying the same things.

    THIS.

    The only thing that gives me a little more confidence is that Ross was a lot more highly rated (top 100 vs top 300). But still, I'm gonna have to see it on the field.

    I never assumed anything great about Mickens last year...maybe because I place 0 validity to dawgman practice reports and instead pay attention to the reports of the beat writers.

    There's only been a handful of practices so far but sounds like Ross has stood out in every practice. But yes we won't know until after a few games.

    Perhaps Mickens just beat guys with his speed in HS and isn't a natural catch and run type of guy whereas it sounds like that is what Ross does best.

    Mickens is the next Jordan Polk. He'll be suddenly seniored going into 2015.

    I don't have much faith in a kid who can't catch. Sure he has speed much like J.Polk did but he doesn't appear to be a WR. With Ross, Daniels, Stringfellow coming in plus Taylor back to WR. Not to mention Sark is always bringing in 4 star WR's it's now time for Mickens.

    As always I hope I'm wrong on this kid would be nice to see someone in this program make a big leap for once.

    Next Jordan Polk??? Mickens had 20 catches despite the drops in his frosh year. Polk didn't have 20 catches in 3 years.

    And once again you claim no one has developed in this program.

    How do you see your screen with all the shit piled up from your keyboard?
