interesting comments bolded
I went to the UW practice on Saturday with some members of my coaching staff and team. The huskies are making an effort to renew ties to the local football community...
Started off by having a short conversation with Damon Huard. I shook the had that threw the Ball to Kenny Wheaton. I was smiling on the inside
Lawyer Milloy gave a speech about players staying to play in state and how dominant his team was back in 1991. Hooray for that! This isn't 1991...
Toured the weight room and locker room. VERY UNDERWHELMING. They actually had a football on a spring as you leave the locker room to punch. Hmm, wonder where they thought of that??
What struck me was how low the energy level was during practice. Lots of jogging, loafing etc. To my eye most of those players were just going through the motions.
Browning is going to be nice qb for them, he throws a very nice ball. On the other side of the ball the only 2 guys who popped were Baker and their safety jc transfer Ezekial Turner. That kid is a good one. He was all over the field laying some serious wood.
Running game is terrible, line play is terrible on both sides. I would be pretty depressed if I were a uw fan...

Classic confirmation bias.

Meh. This is just classic confirmation bias. It's telling because we want it to be telling. But these exact comments are made by players every single time there's a regime change. Sometimes they're telling, sometimes they're not. Time will tell.AZDuck said:interesting comments bolded

Either way it will be interesting. -
We all know going really fast is better than doing it right...that's the Max Power way.

Oregon makes a big deal out of the pace of practice to simulate game conditions. That may not be a thing with Peterman. I thought it was interesting.

Hi there. @dnc asked you to hurry up and get your 53 seconds in order. -
That is what Sark did as well, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (and those times usually correspond to the times someone like Sark is coaching).
Hopefully it is just because they are trying to teach the players their assignment and it really isn't because they are being lazy. That would suck and UW would be in for a shitty decade again. -
