    @Dennis_DeYoung @CokeGreaterThanPepsi @Tequilla Working my way through the poad. Your comment on wilcox was fine. I recall the complaint against Wilcox was more that the Doogs believed we couldn't get anyone better so the dream team was Wilcox, with Tosh and Sirmon and Heyward. I thought Wilcox was a huge improvement at D.C. But, I didn't think he was ready to be Uw Hc at that time. It'd been the same stupid hiring mistake again.

    Finally had time to listen. First thing's first: I'm putting all my savings on Herbert for Heisman now. If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming you Dennis. If it does work out, it will still be underwhelming after I put money on Lamar Jackson last year after week 1 at much higher odds. Basically, either way I hate you Dennis.

    On losing the 2nd half: After relaxing my anus a bit, I do think it's nice that we got playing time and experience for some of our back-end scrubs. That being said, I agree with Coker that our 2nd string is bad and we need some of the younger guys to step up for depth. I will LIPO though because in the past years they also gave experience to our worst players in the scrimmages. Justice Warren played in the first two games last year and was basically never heard from again. R.I.P.

    Harambe Williams is not playing because we aren't playing undersized Bucks any more (thank god), and Tevis is actually playing well. Presumably they'll rotate him in eventually to get him experience and he'll be rotating with Tevis when Potato Famine O'Briain gradutates, then be the starter when Tevis graduates. Mini-Bowman is actually a decent pass rusher because of his first step and his natural leverage (read: Dwarphism). That does not mean he should be #2 buck, obviously. He should never be in coverage either. The only time he should be on the field is 3 and 8 or longer against a non-mobile QB. I like that the Bowman's are setting a good example for steroid usage, though.

    As for the two-back sets, I briefly mentioned how much I love it in the gayme thread. If you want to know what that could look like for us, look at Oklahoma. Even if Babushka's pass-happy play-calling it can work beautifully (see Oklahoma vs. Ohio State). Lincoln Riley is one of my favorite offensive scheme guys and play-callers in football. What he does with Dimitri Flowers (who is barely bigger than Coleman) as an H-back is a thing of beauty. Two-back sets with Coleman as the H-back and Gaskin as the running back needs to be a thing. Also please use Hunter Bryant like they use Mark Andrews, and get our O-linemen on the move (except Sosebee, please release him into the wild). It would help our running game and short passing game tremendously. Browning is Alex Smith, just use him to get the play to our playmakers in space.

    I'm gonna stop now before this gets longer than the actual podcast. 90 minutes? You guys are phoning it in. I expect at least 4h 30 next time.

    Inb4 didn't read lol.

    there is definitely something to what teq says about our pass rush philosophy. Gaines has a free rush to the QB and just stops. Similarly watch how wide an angle Jaylen takes.

    Given this philosophy you can see why we? did so well against hurts.

    I forgot one thing: FUCK Rafi Pounds. He looks like a fucking soccer player, and as your resident Europeein, I should know. Get his soft, highlighted hair, wannabe instagram model ass the fuck away from this program. I'd rather play a freshman. Or Chin.

    Dennis is slightly wrong about UW being 0-3. They are actually 0-0. The first three games were meaningless, except for the fact that Smiff should die.

    It's an interesting idea when you think about it ... contain the QB in the pocket and when he steps up you squeeze him in and send a MLB up to support ... in the process you force the QB to throw in a semi-congested pocket and allows our DBs confidence to play actual routes versus freelanced situations
