    I'll never understand why Lake/K/Gregory took Ngata out of that MLB role he played in the first half to sub in lead-footed fatsos with all the eye-black in the world in Manure and Beef Wellington.

    Even though Ngata made plays, he didn't play "disciplined" while Manu was a regular in the film room, when asked knew all the assignments, and never missed a practice. Actually.

    Wellington looked worse when he was trying to cover for Manu, who was historically bad.

    Knowing the assignments in practice is not the same as executing them in games. Manu had all the answers for the coaches until the lights came on. He cheated, overshooting gaps, trying to overcome his physical limitations and left Wellington alone trying to clean up the mess.

    I can't express enough how bad Gregory is and the mindset that permeated the team. Overachieving upperclassman know the playbook and know what the coaches want to hear and see in practice. It's why they kept running Fuller and Baciella together, series after series, It's why in fall camp Haener "duked it out" with Eason and it's why Gregory stuck with Manu for so long.

    Players make plays. In games. Pretenders live in the film roam and study coach speak.

    Funny how Puka made an instant impact when he finally saw the field then returned to the bench until he could grasp more of the playbook.

    This mindset is the El Oh El of the conference. The joke is on us.

    Couldn't somebody at UW say, "no Will, you're not going to sit at a table all by yourself in your front yard for your commitment video. We'll make something for you."

    His commitment interview on 247 was not very enthusiastic at all either. Was very "yeah, I think it's a good place for me. I've always liked UW".
