Why young lineman will be fine playing early

For the first time in ages UW has a real S&C program. Kohler, Riva, etc would have been better off under Socha.

Socha earned a degree in kinesiology and a masters degree in exercise physiology. He was an OL in college. After that he spent his time in the weight room as an assistant S&C coach and then the head S&C coach. He's in his 10th year as head S&C coach.

Ivan's degrees were in education and leadership studies. He spent a lot of time as an assistant S&C coach but UW was his first time being the head S&C coach.

With Socha, I don't think we need to be worried about Adams and other guys playing early. If they get hurt they will have a S&C coach who can rehab and develop them properly. Socha is far superior to Ivan. He played (Ivan didn't), he studied the subject (Ivan didn't) and he has a lot more experience.

    So you are saying that you learn by doing? Noble concept

    Another thing to bring up is that Petersen and Socha have worked together since 2006, so Petersen knows what Socha can do and Socha knows what Petersen wants. If Petersen didn't want him, he would've been fired a long time ago. And it's worth noting that Petersen has made the S&C an emphasis from the first moment he arrived on campus.

    Maybe with run blocking. But pass pro goes beyond roids weights and being talented. That's where the smarts, the technique, the knowledge of the game and experience come in. Not just individually, but collectively too. Experience as a group matters with pass pro.

    Run block not so much, especially in zone blocking schemes. That's basically fire out and maul anyone that comes across your face mask.

    That got some good belly laughs in my mom's basement.

    The best linemen tend to be the whack-jobs.

    I wish Adams could redshirt, but if he's good enough, he plays. He's a weirdo with a mullet that rides his bike in his boxers to Jimmy Johns. He gets in fights with upperclassmen at practice. He's from a shit hole (Wenatchee).

    He's built for this shit. And he's really good and I don't think it's typical undeserving hype. He's not wishing he wasn't 300 pounds and dreaming of catching some sick waves like Kohler.

    I like @Gladstone, I am just saying, that he is probably the most likely on this bored to commit suicide during a game. And it would be a random time during a game, like against an FCS team or something and UW is up by 30 with 8 minutes left in the game and UW runs a dumb play and Gladstone just decides to kill himself at that point because he has had enough.

    Is a noble concept anything like a death nail?

    Irregardless, it's a mute point.

    Who gives a fuck what the coach's qualifications are? That doesn't change the fact that these kids are true freshmen who have only spent about 6 months in an actual college S&C program. Linemen should be an automatic redshirt. Fucking stupid post.

    Will you two get a room already?
    This much delayed poodcast is going to be flooded with sexual tension. Chest better be careful eating dinner while recording, or it may sound x-rated.
