    If UW can get a RB to step up and perform at a high level, it will make a world of difference.

    Disagree.

    Give me consistent OL and competent QB play and the RB will take care of itself.

    A world class RB on the other hand, will not mask the play of a mediocre line and/or QB.

    Marshawn Lynch has been masking a mediocre Seahawks line for years
    So Russell Wilson is Cyler Miles?

    Even Tarvaris could throw a 25 yard fade.

    Way to adress only the part of the argument that suits your comment. Next. ;)

    EDIT: The Seahawks "mediocre" line includes the individual awards given out to the likes of Unger (former) and Okung. Correct?

    Atoe, Tufunga, Criste, et al...couldn't sniff an individual award in 4+ years.

    If the Seahawks line is mediocre, the Huskies line is/was DIII, at best. But still...

    The Seahawks can't pass block worth shit. But thanks for playing.

    I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by our QB play this year, considering how our coach is a former QB. If not, it's FMFYFE until next year when Browning likely starts.


    I've always thought that 2016 would be special.

    well, even if the prestitious fleenor-sweetman award is prestigious, I still don't see how PGOS is going to make room in his mom's basement for a harem. It's also still an unexplained mystery to me how he says nobody reads my posts, yet he seems to downvote and troll virtually all of my posts. So under that reasoning, when he says "nobody" he is in fact referring to himself. Nobody.

    Mercer Island has big basements

    Last year provided reason for hope on this front.

    Kikaha, Shelton, and Thompson were all good players in 2013, but their output greatly increased last year.

    Several of the true frosh played like veteran players:
    Buttah, Sidey Jones IX, Pettis

    If UW can get a RB to step up and perform at a high level, it will make a world of difference.

    The guys you mentioned got better. And Petersen deserves credit. At the same time, sometimes guys just get better as they get older. Kevin Smith was way better as a senior than in his previous years. Bishop Sankey was good as a sophomore. He was great as a junior. Ducre was way better as a senior.

    The stars on defense and Andrew Hudseon got better, but on the whole it was a mixed bag. The OL wasn't any better and was possibly worse. Timu, Feeney, and Littleton didn't really look any better. The rest of the offense hadn't played much, but we didn't see any big improvements out of any of those guys either.

    Petersen's Boise State teams were more indicative of a coach that is a strong developer of talent than last year at UW.
    Uh, no shit. That's how it's supposed to work, you know? You get better at things in life with practice, knowledge, and experience. To think a player sucks if they're not first on the depth chart by their first or second year in a program is one massive, huge crock of shit.

    Agree, but it depends. At a good program it can be hard to crack the depth. At UW the past 10-15 years, if a player wasn't in the two deeps by their R-Fr or Sophomore year, they were useless.
    I think that is the same at most schools that recruit consistently and smartly. Baring injury issues or some other non-football issue if a player hasn't shown promise to stick in the two deep by end of 2nd or early 3rd year it usually just doesn't happen. Especially after two or three classes come in behind them.
