Noticed he wasn't there yesterday. They slid Eldrenkamp to LG and had Shelton at LT with Charles gone.

Sarkingham

Son of a bitch!

Fuck...no more hands to the face penalties.

Wonder if they were just testing out Shelton at LT or if this is permanent now.

Either way it'll be interesting.

Whatever. I'm not that concerned with all the BEEF Peterman has been bringing in.

Jesus Christ. Our QB should get hazardous duty pay for being behind the shitshow we have at OL.

Some big news out of Huskies camp this morning, as Washington announced fifth-year senior offensive lineman Dexter Charles has retired from football due to a lingering knee injury.

With 30 starts through his first three collegiate seasons, Charles was by far the most experienced member of UW’s relatively inexperienced offensive line. A native of Camano Island, Charles has already graduated from UW and seemed a sure thing to begin the season as the Huskies’ starting left guard.

He frequently played through injury during his career, though it seemed most of his problems were in his shoulder.

“We're all very disappointed that Dexter's injury won't allow him to continue to play,” Huskies coach Chris Petersen said in a statement released by UW. "I'm grateful for his dedication and hard work and very pleased that he earned his degree. He's interested in the coaching profession, and I wish him nothing but the best."

Petersen is scheduled to speak with reporters after this morning’s practice, so we’ll likely have more then.

Oh no! We'll be missing a guy who sucks!!! What will we do?!?

Though, I think this burns Adams' redshirt.

Nah, just means Andrew Kirkland will start.

F'ing sh*t.

He was still a RS-SR with a boatload of starts.

Another reason to start Lindquist @ BSU since we'll have a new LT, LG, and C with the RG only having some starts a few seasons ago.

At least Tuff Guy Cozz is no longer the OL coach so I have faith Strausser can get it done.

Yup, Charles became a doog legend only because Sark's OL recruiting was so miserable. At no point in his career has he been above average or close to it.

I'm confused... this helps or hurts Sarks UW lineman legacy?

HuskyJW

So this was lingering from Sark's tenure?

I prefer the open roster spot over a broken, albeit experienced, Charles.

2021 will be special.

I assume this will lead to improved line play.. fewer hands to the face penalties, fewer dt's and lb's absolutely steamrolling Dexter Charles on the way to sacking the qb...

Adams will start by midseason.

Yep. I'm guessing Shelton starts off at LT but Adams overtakes him.

Kirkland and Fuvai should be selling their couches soon enough as well. This may well yet be a normal O Line class. Too bad it's an absolutely terrible year for O Linemen

My guess of the starting OL @ BSU:

LT: Coleman Shelton, RS-Soph
LG: Jake Eldrenkamp, RS-JR
C: Tufunga, RS-SR
RG: Brostek, RS-JR
RT: Matt James, RS-Frosh

McGary is probably the top OT off the bench since I've never heard anything even slightly positive about Kirkland.

I don't see McGary playing this year at all. Gotta remember he is really raw, I think he is a year away from contributing for us. He looks great, but needs to learn the position.

Adams got A LOT of work yesterday at LT. I think like others that he is starting by end of the year.
