    So the problem has been identified. What’s the solution? And it has to incorporate the OKG model because you can’t have Coach Pete without it.

    Just to play devils advocate for a moment, we all value Pete’s ability to ID talent, but we don’t value the length of time at which it takes him. There are a shitload of examples of guys from UW who weren’t 4/5 Star guys that ended up being great players. How does UW keep doing that while also offering quicker and slightly more often? How do they ID the right fit for their coaching styles without employing this thorough process?

    Going back to DDY’s example, how does Pete revamp his ability to spit game to the 10s? What exactly does he have that other better, richer, more attractive dudes don’t have? The answer is not a good one. A dude that is offering a long-term, stable relationship with an upper middle class lifestyle to girls in their 20s is going home alone, or with a lesser, clingier girl unless he finds another approach. So, the question to this legion of unattractive, poor losers is, how’d you bag the 10 the only time you ever did it? Because that’s what Pete needs to bottle up and work into his repertoire.

    Here's the solution: instead of getting Will Harris to coach DBs we should've gotten him to coach OLBs. Which was my idea with Gerald Alexander...

    Also - let's not take the analogy further than it's supposed to go. It's supposed to go through signing day.

    And it's a three step model:
    1. Be big time
    2. Act like it
    3. Make her laugh consistently.
    Now you tell me. Good vodka and xtc gets pricey

    I believe Zion Tupuola-Fetui will be BUCK. There was talk of him developing into a Defensive Tackle but locking up Tuli, Mosiah (holy fuck he looks good) and Draco will allow ZTP to redshirt and work w/ Kwat.

    6’2 250 and is listed as a Linebacker on the official roster. Still need to get at least 2 BUCKS this class and missing on Martin was a massive failure. I like Zion though. I feel like he has been somewhat forgeten given how strong we finished last year outside of Martin (Fucking Barbershops!!!). Still need to stack more bodies though.

    Zion is going to grow out of BUCK imo, but I think he'll start there. Maybe sort of be a guy that plays both... but Bynum needs to move to WTE stat.
    Bynum looked incredible this spring. He would be a matchup nightmare on offense. Normally I always want to keep our freakiest athletes on defense but he’s a natural WTE and we might not need him on the D Line. He wouldn’t hesitate to move over to the offense if that’s where the team needs him.

    Zion definitely has the frame. I’m sure Socha has a plan. He might not be done growing though. He looked pretty natural w/ his hand down on the edge during the Poly bowl. Still very raw but I like his potential as an outside pass rusher. Still shouldn’t see the field for three years though.

    The fact that the staff can’t close at this position is fucking infuriating.

    There’s a part of me that really wonders if we actually value a pash rush off the edge

    Dude, I am pretty sure that Kawasaki/jimmy saw how dominant that defensive can be with a buck that can apply consistent pressure.

    He fast twitch enough, but his hand technique is going to need a lot of work.

    I have faith in our development. That hasn’t been the issue. Kwat knows what he’s doing once their in the program. The issue has just been getting the bodies. ZTP could thrive once coached up. He also won’t be forced on to the field so no need to rush him.

    It’s somewhat of a tongue in cheek reference ... but I also do think against certain QB types we de-prioritize the pass rush
    That's because we don't have good enough pash rushers. We also rush three often, probably for the same reason.

    My PM is absolutely gorgeous and I fell in love with her 5 years ago when she was 21.

    But since I am old and married and have no shot I treat her like she's ugly which really makes her want me. She is used to guys falling all over themselves around her. I joke about it as I pimp her out in business meets (not REAL pimpin mind you)

    Psychology is interesting. At any rate by not acting like I care I've had this great relationship with her. Its like I am gay.

    Jesus Race is following the Tom Leykis model.
