This team is a year away...

Good stuff thanks Puppypuppylove_sugarsteel said:...however next year might be the greatest opportunity. '17 might be just be too far away and this team might just be ready. Why? Because of Petersen and his syst em implementation. He WILL Abe the reason this team overachieves next year. He is the real deal. 81% of the dipshitted naysayers here will understand what Puppy has been saying all a long. Petermen and coaches teach technique over scheme. With many returning players in their third year the execution on both sides of the ball should be significantly better.
'17 sets up to be the playoff run, however early defections might hurt the defense. Victor could be the best inside backer this team has ever had, and likely bolt after next year. He's Hoffman with speed. Which is why a young team, with very few seniors might have to step up a year early, and make it happen in '16. I agree there is a definite possibility that 2016 can be the year
Scares me though. 2 huge games at Oregon and my pre-season north pick WSU Stanford at home could be deadly. In '17 the schedule pits the big games at home, with jr's and seniors all over the roster (if everyone stays, unlikely). Can our freshmen and sophomores play like upper classmen a year early? If we beat Oregon and Stanford it not only opens up our season to win the Pac it also aids recruiting in a BIG way. The WSU game we are going to roll them yet again. Luke Falk is one concussion away from being done. With their offense doesnt aid QB health. Bender will be starting by the time we play them. Even with Falk we beat them soundly.
+Can Browning hit the big throws routinely that he missed repeatedly last year? Can our receivers not drop 50 passes this season? The improvement I saw in the bowl game from Hamdan's coaching tells me YES! Can he stay healthy? KJCS better improve. Pete WILL need a backup who can move the chains and produce points (HUGE IF) '17 the position will be loaded with experience.
+Can Van Winkle hit those huge game winning 48yd game winners? Can the new TRUE FRESHMAN punter keep field position in our favor? Can Ross, Chico and Pettis make game changing special teams plays to win big games? They will have to win this conference, and im comfortable here. A 'push' compared to '17
+Can Coach Pete find a way to implement an effective screen game? (Ive never seen a husky team in 30 years so inept and untimely with the screen game. This HAS TO CHANGE. im confident in '17... '16 will be wait and see with a young oline Can Coach Pete find a way to implement an effective consistent deep threat? That will help the screen game.
+Can the Oline take that next step? YES! Our O line is going to be beastly. Big country is going to have a great year and Coleman Sheltoon can play most any position on the line. Look for Ricky Mccoy to get back upo reps at center.Eldrenkamp has to improve in the run game. Who is going to play center? Can Big Country improve at RT (he needs to improve, and he started to late in the year. Trey Adams is looking for all conference honors, and I think Coleman Shelton will too. Can they stay healthy and produce depth ('17 no problem, this Oline will be one of the best in the country). Need Adams to stay healthy however, Andy Kirkland wont cut it.
+Can this team find a pass rusher? I am guessing yes. Nobody liked Feeney last year and all he did was crush itNot as easy as you garboons think. Nobody on the roster currently can fill that void yet. (Spring will tell all) a lot of bodies but no answers. ('17 will be filled) Who's going to get to Falk, late in the game, with the NORTH title on the line in Pullman next year?
+Who is going to spell Gaskin? G-a-s-k-i-n (no s) Seriously I expect to see great things out of Dotson this season Who is going to replace Brownings favorite target and safety valve in Perkins and his production? Its easy to just say Daniels, but thats not automatic. Can Ross be a consistent deep threat? Who"s going to be the pass catching safety valve out of the backfield for Browning, the wheel route savior like DWash was last year? MCGREW McGrew, A true frosh? Dotson? '17 will provide plenty of experience here.
+Who is going to punish teams on 3rd and 1, or on the goal line? Warren would have been the answer,, Lavon Coleman is not. '17 might provide the answer. Good question
+Is Jon Smith the answer as playcaller in '16? '17 will provide the answer to that question whether its him or a stud OC with big time experience, who knows how to implement and call screens.
+The away schedule isnt friendly, it is in '17.
These are but a few pre spring topics for discussion on our new higher discussion bored. Instead of childish antics, which I unfortunately expect, how about a football discussion.

Team is not a year away, can win this year. End of story.
And yes, it can win this year because of the work of Petersen bringing in talent that I can for once actually see us winning with.
Full Doog 'til September bitches, I'm gonna enjoy the shit out of this. -
Fuck all these breakdowns, the key is the mental cloud hanging over the program that Stanford is just better, Oregon is just better, ASU is just better, etc.
No better example then in the Oregon game: start off pounding the shit out of them, Adams gets free, Jones turns his head around too quickly and gives up a massive chunk of yardage=Oregon is better, the game is over.
ASU=no need to even go into detail on that one.
Utah=gave up too many turnovers, the refs, they're all seniors.
The coaches needs to stop with the "We'd love to model ourselves after Utah (2015)....you have play great just to HANG with Oregon (2014)" bullshit and just tell the players that they are better and they just need to come out and cave people's faces in. If they do that the turnovers and points will come.
But I don't know if they're just feeding that shit to the media or not but it makes the PAC 12 look like some godly conference when it isn't. Arizona won the South in 2014 and they suck ass.
Football is a mental game with physical sacrifice only being a means to an end. -
Doog playbook since ca. 2005Doogles said:So if we win next year it's because of coaching, but if we lose it's because of youth.
Got it. -

2016. Too many losses on D for 17' to be the year. Jones , King, baker could all be gone out of secondary. In 17' all those teams breaking in a new qb in 16' will be better. A young secondary isn't the answer for veteran qbs( Ron fairly statement there). Oregon is beatable on road this year. I'm tempted to head to Eugene this year. Went in 96, 2000 and 2002. Not since

Next year is a 9-10 win year. After that, who knows. There are too many variables. Make some Rose Bowls, and I'm happy.
I'd like for them to at least be in the race on November 15th. That's not expecting the world. 10-2 and 7-2 are records most here would take right now. Don't lie you HHB's. -
damn, a couple of you guys have used your word quota for the day I think.
