Joel Klatt's Take On Udub

haie

Some have shit on him before. Maybe he sucks as a game commentator, I don't know.

I do however enjoy his segment on a shitty local Portland sports talk show.

His overall take on UW was that the coaches have completely fucked this season over all by themselves.

1. Redzone against Auburn: the speed option was the worst play call of the season, by any coaching staff.

2. Oregon: not going for the juggular at the end was the worst end game decision, by any coaching staff.

3. Cal, you were still beating them and brought in your back up for the shits of it which single handedly lost you the game. 7 points are more than 6.

It's not like this all hasn't been brought up before but the entire package deserves some thought. We?'?re not one of the 4 best teams but the coaches have single handedly completely and totally, desolatingly fucking fucked us out of a playoff resume with only 3 in game decisions.

Thank you for this

I guess sure but you could also point to specific things Browning did in each of thise games that "single handedly" cost us each game.

When people say some play or decision "single handedly" cost us the game they actually just mean it was a negative value play and we ended up losing.

We were far from 100% to win at the time of any of those decisions and we were far above 0% afterward.

But I guess saying some decision cost us 5% win equity isn't as fun as saying it "single handedly" cost us the game.

I agree with the Auburn option call tho.

*edit* being complete shit that is.

I have a doog friend who likes the three losses because it means we are where we are supposed to be. I keep telling him that the playoffs fucking matter regardless of whether you have a shifty offense, or whether you "deserve to be there". Doog about maybe getting lucky and beating bama in the semifinal. Don't doog about how we were meant to lose to fucking Cal.

The speed option call is the main reason I give zero shits if Hamdan doesn’t come back.

You can’t fix that kind of retard

You have a team built for west coast, pro-style offense: under center, 2 TEs, power run game, play action intermediate passing game, and we get is full retard...and by full retard I mean you’ve had success running this offense, yet you continually go away from it to do fly sweeps, lateral passing, predictable bullshit.

Had a front row seat for that abortion of a play.

Apathy set in after that playcall.

Been on autopilot since.

I wasn’t quite front row but it happened right in front of my seats. I thought I passed out and was dreaming that we? decided to run a terrible play call but then I realized I wasn’t going to pass out for a couple more hours

From what I’ve seen, we are a lot better when we play with tempo and pace. We suck when we take a long time and think about things.

Agreed. Tempo removes the thought and keeps it simple. Pro style at tempo is deadly...see 49ers 2 minute drill during the 1980s.

The Stanford broadcasters said in the first half UW was doing motion and shifts on offense that had Stanford completely fucked up and were getting 6 to 8 yards a play on average. Said UW came out in the second half and just lined up and ran simple shit that Stanford could stop

That's kind of opposite of the wisdom here that we do too much shit and not enough straight ahead. Which I always agree with. Maybe we aren't there yet to road grade folks. Still have to trick whip them, at least the big teams.

Or it could be we ran Gaskin a lot in the first half and not as much in the second

Or its hard

They also said we stopped pressuring Abbott Costello in the second half. Not the adjustment I would be looking for

Serious question - who is Joel Klatt?

I respect Joel as far as talking heads go.

Regarding Stanford game, we? totally went into "don't lose mode" in 2nd half. RB run out of RPO every first down. No blitzing and minimal pressure applied. You can't expect coverage to hold up for as long as we? gave KJ Carta-Costello time to scan around and find his Paul Bunyan receivers and WTE's.

We? have an anemic offense with a 4th yr starting QB and the UW's all time rusher. We avg 24.6 pts a game. That is a disgrace in this conference or any conference for that matter (90th in cuntry in scoring.). Oregon State scores more per game at 26.2

We played like total pussies in the 2nd half, Costello did drop some absolute dimes though

There have been some questionable coaching decisions, but at the end of the day the main reason UW has 3 losses is that you just aren't that good this year. Cal sucks, you should have been up 35-3 at half if you were any good and then there's no room for coaching decisions to fuck it up. Same with Oregon and Auburn.

Give jake to much time, he goes overload stars overthinking. His first gut reaction is usually right, but he over processes things

That was the other interesting thing about listening on the radio

Jake drops back plenty of time

Has an open receiver

Hes scrambling now and DROPPED for a sack

I started to find myself getting annoyed at our DBs until I rememebered QBs are allowed to make throws.
