But I was assured repeatedly by you that everything on the Husky offense was fine.Tequilla said:Current dooging?
The vast majority of this board is way higher on the dooging schedule right now saying all is well, Nick Harris will be great, we're so close blah blah blah
There are some fundamental parts of the program that MUST be VASTLY improved going forward and EVERYTHING that this program does going forward from yesterday needs to be focused on how we play at the nationally elite level ... -
In the PAC you can get elite skill position talent. I think we've got an elite QB coming in. The RB position will remain solid with Ahmed and Pleasant may be good plus McGrew.Swaye said:
Agree fully. That's why my original post dedicated a huge paragraph to it. Far and away our biggest player concern is OL, followed by QB (Browning has issues and what is behind him is dreck), and then RB (unless McGrew and Ahmed save the day - it ain't Dotson), and THEN LB'ers. So yeah, pretty far down the list for me as a concern but it is the one place on D where I can see we could use some tweaking - this includes OLB being used as rush ends.AEB said:I'd be less concerned over the D. To me OL is our biggest shortfall from being #1.
OLB/DE will be elite in 2 years with the young talent developing. I'm solidly in @Tequilla camp re: OL... IF we want to compete with Bama. We're close to dominating the Pac12 -

At the National Level we have shortcomings ...
We had to scheme our ass off yesterday to be successful AND win the turnover battle (at least +2) and get 10+ points out of that ... we did some nice scheme things in stretches but didn't get turnovers while giving up turnovers leading to points.
There was a path to victory yesterday ... perhaps a 20% chance ...
Don't confuse being optimistic and glass half full for being unrealistic about our chances ... it was ALWAYS going to be difficult yesterday ... and it didn't matter who the OC was -

What was really reinforced yesterday was how far away the Pac is from being competitive nationally. -

But the last few steps to get to that spot will be the hardest requiring decisions that may be very very difficult -
Alabama is not "nationally". We compete with and could beat everyone else. That's how good Bama is on D.
-
This.AEB said:Alabama is not "nationally". We compete with and could beat everyone else. That's how good Bama is on D.
Clemson has the matchup to beat Bama (even though they won't) but Alabama is clearly in a league of their own this year and everyone else is a distant irrelevant 2nd. -
Last I checked, the SEC has won a lot of national championships recently.AEB said:Alabama is not "nationally". We compete with and could beat everyone else. That's how good Bama is on D.

I sometimes wonder just what Browning would look like with an elite OL in front of him. If he consistently had time and a good pocket against top tier teams I wonder if he could light it up like he does against dreck. Probably a little drop off because coverage is better and thus you need more arm strength to thread it, but a top shelf OL would probably make noodle arm a Heisman winner.
-
DL looks awesome, so excited for that unit next year.
victor and bierria will be beasts next year, and if some young guys like eifller or Williams can make an impact that could be one of the best front 7's in college football next year.
with DB's their will be some dropoff, but I think we'll be fine especially if budda stays.
I onder if ross stays. I don't think after the end to this year teams are gonna give him a 1st or 2nd round grade. he might leave regardless.
If we can get stronger on the OL and browning can work out some of his problems, this team could be back at this spot next year.

Yup. Bama and Cam and FL with Pope Urban. Right now the bar is Bama. We can compete with everyone else.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

You took her to Taco Del Mar? What a nice young man you are.Swaye said:The day after...and if you don't agree with me fuck off you are wrong.
Smiff: What else is there to say? He's an idiot. I hope he catches on fire soon. Way to abandon the run again, as soon as we were behind by 3. You fucking asshole.
Brownsocks: I respect the hell out of his work ethic, and he seems to have a great mind for the game. That said, he has physical limitations that are tough to overcome, and a real tendency to wilt under pressure. Not ever going to be a Tui type who puts the team on his back and wills it to victory. That doesn't mean he can't be a great game manager type QB though....the issue is he needs two thing to happen to allow that...one is a non retard OC, and the other is...
Offensive Line: Strausser has really gotten a lot out of what he has to work with. The issue is he doesn't have enough to work with. He has turned two 4 stars, two 3 stars and a diamond in the rough into a really decent/serviceable line. I applaud him for that. Adams and McGary are great, as is Eldrenkamp, but beyond that is gets pretty patchwork. Nick Harris played his ass off last night but got abused. I love that kids sand, but no way in hell should a 260 pound true freshman be in that position if we were recruiting correctly. Where the fuck is highly recruited Henry Roberts? FTG. Loser. In my opinion, and this is as a non-TBS'er, we have got to get better Jimmies and Joe's. USC and Bama both exposed us badly. Instead of our typical one 4 star, two 3 stars, and a 2 star type classes, we need three 4 and 5 stars and one 2 or 3 star flyer type classes. That way you can absorb it easily when one of the 4 stars (looking at your Roberts) doesn't pan out. Just to be clear, our OL is for the most part good enough to compete for the PAC12, but it is not ready for prime time Elite teams. And it won't be for quite some time. We need two recruiting cycles of lots of 4 star bodies and some time for them to develop. So it will likely be more of the same "good not great" for the next couple of years. Maybe Sirmon will have a great line in front of him? Who the fuck knows.
WR/TE: They are fine. Losing Ross and to a lesser extent Daniels will hurt, but Pettis, Sample and Chico are great. The incoming class looks fantastic (trusting TSIO crew on that), and fuck man, Bama is Bama. That entire secondary is NFL bound. Our WRs did get enough separation that a cannon armed QB could have threaded them in. We don't have a cannon armed QB though. More of a wet noodle.
RB's: Mixed bag. #MyGaskin and Coleman are nails against any defense not named Bama, and I even think we could have done some damage with a 2 yards and a cloud of dust approach against them - see above for our retard monkey coordinator. But fuck, the dropoff after those two is immense. I hope McGrew is as advertised and Ahmed gets here quick.
DL: I'll keep this short...they will kill you. Even Jaylen looked pretty good. Po'tea'oeoao'eoao'eeeoa is flashing and I have no doubt he will get coached up and be fine. Gaines is a goddamn animal. And we are bringing in the top DT on the West Coast next year. We are fucking set.
DB's: Lake is the magic man and even though we are losing two or three to the league, I have no doubt we will reload with his recruiting and development - I mean we have like 5 more 4 stars in the two deeps. Fucking insane. There will be a small drop off, because Jones and Buddah are seriously two of our best ever, but I don't think it will be a huge dropoff with Rapp and JoJo still patrolling and some of the highly recruited kids waiting in the wings. All set for the long term.
LB: To my very untrained and usually drunk eye this is the worst group on the D and it isn't close. We basically have Bierria and Victor and then, um, well, some decent white guys? I know we have gotten a highly recruited kid or two being redshirted, but the drop off after our top two seems big. BBK flashed some stuff, but look at him vs that big Bama runner. He looks 30 pounds smaller. I put a lot of our LB's in the Brownsocks camp of game competitors but physically limited. Our entire D passes the eye test except the LBers (with Victor out). Did you see Rueben Foster? Christ that's what a LBer should look like. Not some 215 pound flowing blonde locks queer. I am sure we will be fine with some of the younger guys coming up, and Gregory can develop some shit, but this is our weak spot.
P/K: Who gives a fuck. They mostly suck I guess. I remember being pissed at them a lot this year. Whatever.
This was a great season by any measure. 12-2. PAC12 Champions - I honestly never thought I would see that again in my life. Encouraging signs like scheduling Auburn. Making the CFP in Petermans third year. This team should compete for PAC12 titles every year. I fully expect us to play USC for the title next year. Great year and I am pumped for the future for the first time in over a decade. We need to shitcan Babushka, and really start recruiting some OL and LBers and we can own this conference for years.
Lastly, support this site you fucking assholes. Where else are we all gonna go if this shit hole goes bankrupt? Just fucking do it. I am poor as fuck and I still pony up. Stop being cheap losers.
Oh, one more thing...since you read this far here's what I did after the game last night. Viva Las Vegas!

One other thing. We need Ricky McCoy to develop. I'm assuming no DL leave early this year, but in the classes after, we've got RM and Marlon as true DTs. Pretty thin.

RB's: Mixed bag. #MyGaskin and Coleman are nails against any defense not named Bama, and I even think we could have done some damage with a 2 yards and a cloud of dust approach against them - see above for our retard monkey coordinator. But fuck, the dropoff after those two is immense. I hope McGrew is as advertised and Ahmed gets here quick.
DL: I'll keep this short...they will kill you. Even Jaylen looked pretty good. Po'tea'oeoao'eoao'eeeoa is flashing and I have no doubt he will get coached up and be fine. Gaines is a goddamn animal. And we are bringing in the top DT on the West Coast next year. We are fucking set.
DB's: Lake is the magic man and even though we are losing two or three to the league, I have no doubt we will reload with his recruiting and development - I mean we have like 5 more 4 stars in the two deeps. Fucking insane. There will be a small drop off, because Jones and Buddah are seriously two of our best ever, but I don't think it will be a huge dropoff with Rapp and JoJo still patrolling and some of the highly recruited kids waiting in the wings. All set for the long term.
LB: To my very untrained and usually drunk eye this is the worst group on the D and it isn't close. We basically have Bierria and Victor and then, um, well, some decent white guys? I know we have gotten a highly recruited kid or two being redshirted, but the drop off after our top two seems big. BBK flashed some stuff, but look at him vs that big Bama runner. He looks 30 pounds smaller. I put a lot of our LB's in the Brownsocks camp of game competitors but physically limited. Our entire D passes the eye test except the LBers (with Victor out). Did you see Rueben Foster? Christ that's what a LBer should look like. Not some 215 pound flowing blonde locks queer. I am sure we will be fine with some of the younger guys coming up, and Gregory can develop some shit, but this is our weak spot.
P/K: Who gives a fuck. They mostly suck I guess. I remember being pissed at them a lot this year. Whatever.
This was a great season by any measure. 12-2. PAC12 Champions - I honestly never thought I would see that again in my life. Encouraging signs like scheduling Auburn. Making the CFP in Petermans third year. This team should compete for PAC12 titles every year. I fully expect us to play USC for the title next year. Great year and I am pumped for the future for the first time in over a decade. We need to shitcan Babushka, and really start recruiting some OL and LBers and we can own this conference for years.
Lastly, support this site you fucking assholes. Where else are we all gonna go if this shit hole goes bankrupt? Just fucking do it. I am poor as fuck and I still pony up. Stop being cheap losers.
Oh, one more thing...since you read this far here's what I did after the game last night. Viva Las Vegas!
