- Of the 95 reps, Eason and Haener took all but 17.
- Only 2 touchdowns: Haener connected with Salvon Ahmed on a fourth-and-goal pass on the final rep of practice, and Newton on a 2 yard run.
- Isaiah Gilchrist had a pick, settling under a fluttering “Hail Mary” attempt from Eason that seemed to slip out of his hand. That was during a two-minute period, with the ball snapped from midfield and only seven seconds remaining.
- M.J. Tafisi picked off a pass thrown by Colson Yankoff.
- Yankoff had one series of 11-on-11 work, with the third-team offensive line against the second-team defense. He completed only one pass on the drive, but did keep the series alive with an impressive 21-yard scramble on fourth-and-12 from the defense’s 31. You could see just how athletic Yankoff is in the open field, as he more or less ran away from freshman linebacker Josh Calvert, the closest player to him. Calvert batted away Yankoff’s pass attempt two plays later, and the series ended with Newton’s touchdown run.
- Sirmon was behind center for two series, completing two of his four pass attempts, and his first throw was nearly intercepted by Gilchrist, and his second series ended with a bad snap recovered by outside linebacker Joe Tryon.
- Gilchrist sacked both Eason and Yankoff from his nickel position.
- Potato continues to disrupt plays in the backfield, twice busting through the offensive line for an easy sack of the quarterback.
- I have a feeling opposing teams are going to continue to struggle to get anything accomplished when throwing into the flats against UW’s defense. Elijah Molden, who continues to play nickel with the No. 1 group, seems to swallow up anything thrown near the line of scrimmage, and made a particularly impressive play Wednesday on a completion by Eason to Andre Baccellia. Molden beat Hunter Bryant’s block attempt and forced a 3-yard loss on the play.
- Likewise, junior cornerback Keith Taylor doesn’t allow many passes to be completed in his area, and seems to bring a physical presence to his position, too.
- Cameron Williams busted into the backfield to drop Eason for a loss and successfully sniffed out a fly sweep to Chico McClatcher on the play after.
- Peyton Henry, who made all five of his attempts during 11-on-11 action — two from 35 yards, one from 30, one from 27 and the last from 33.
- No changes to any of the first-team personnel groupings on either side of the ball, save for the typical frequent rotation up front. -

Because he CAN’T SEE OVER HIS OLGladstone said:For the defensive guys, there was definitely a lowlight of the chatter matchup. In the last portion of 11-on-11 drills, junior quarterback Jake Haener threw a ball over the middle, right to junior safety Brandon McKinney. The ball popped off of McKinney’s hands, up in the air, back to the line of scrimmage, and right into Adams’ arms.

The corners and DL are going to be amazing. Gordon and Hampton seem to be locked in a battle for the one side. I think Gordon is a freak and biund to star on this defense at some point. If Hampton can hold him off, and Taylor is better than both as I'm getting the feeling he is, then holy shit.
The DL is reloaded too...no longer any concern. The redshirt frosh are beasts. They're ready. -
All praise due to Kyler Manu.

I think next year we will have our best DB grouping we’ve ever had. If the young class of LB’s we signed this year is as good as advertised, next year could be the best defense we’ve had in a long time. The talent on all 3 levels is absurd.chuck said:The corners and DL are going to be amazing. Gordon and Hampton seem to be locked in a battle for the one side.

I meant 2020 when I said next year. LB’s from this class need at least a year. Even if they are so-so, we’ll have an insane D. Gordon, Hampton, Irvin, and Taylor, if he stays (I think he could leave) at CB/S, and Molden at nickel is crazy talent. Cam, McDuffie, and Asa as RS frosh. The line is set with our two previous classes. We just need Calvert, Hammer, and Sirmon to step up and anything less than a top 5 D in the country is a disappointment.HillsboroDuck said:

Isn’t that what we’ve done for like the past 3 years? It’s just what happens. We have just been waiting for the offense to level up.dawgs206 said:

RB has been probably the quietest position group this spring, which is concerning given that Gaskin is no longer back there.
-
RB is always quiet because we don’t do much live work. I think we have enough to do well, but we shall see. There’s no sure fire guy, but I think if Salvon takes the next step he can be sensational.whatshouldicareabout said:RB has been probably the quietest position group this spring, which is concerning given that Gaskin is no longer back there.

If Ahmed can run between the tackles, I think we'll be fine, but he struggled against better defenses last year (Cal, tOSU, Utah, and Utah).Dennis_DeYoung said:

In our 1 game without Gaskin last year, Pleasant had most of our carries and was most effective, but I don't see him being our #1. Maybe Cam Davis? -

I fucking hate that. Should have been another Haener pick 6

I'm not sure why people think Ahmed is going to suddenly develop the requisite RB instincts needed to excel. The guy has no feel for reading blocks and is not going to become an effective inside runner after two years of showing no ability to do so. I have a lot more confidence in one of McGrew, Pleasant, or Dick becoming an every-down back than I do Ahmed. He's a total weapon, but he's limited.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Isnt Tafisi supposedly a stud too? The LB group is going to be really strong. Gregory is a good coach and a good enough recruiter, I'm a fan. Get the guy away from special teams thoughdawgs206 said:

My only hope is that we stop handing him the ball 7 yards deep on a fly sweep that everyone is waiting on.
If he's not the every down guy find a better way to use him -
You love to paint the recruiting bored with a broad brush but the main ridicule of Dick came from BallzDeep. Who now loves Dick and pretends he never hated it.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

The consensus, if there was one, was "meh" he is a JAG as a recruit. Might end up good but isn't a special or rare human.
Of course it should be noted the RB class out West was incredibly weak in 2018. Dick was the 2nd highest rated RB in the West. The only other top-25 nationally ranked RB, Chris Brown who many on this bored wanted, went to Cal. After Brown and Dick the next highest rated West RBs went to Boise, SDSU, and Oregon State.
USC, Oregon, Stanford, Colorado, and ASU (x3) all went out of region for RBs. -

I think they like Pleasant and are trying to be clever in a down year.
He's okay, I guess.
So yeah like I said, meh, JAG, not a rare human but not horrible. With a little DDY performance art sprinkled in there.Dennis_DeYoung said:He looks like Kamari Pleasant if Kamari just bounced everything outside.
He’s not a DDY1 like Chin or Nik Little, but he’s a low 2.
If you want to know what a good RB with his frame looks like, go watch Steve Carr’s highlights from last year.
This kid isn’t close to what we need to up the level of our team.
He’s like BBK, it’ll be barely noticeable that he’s not very good vs crappy teams, but once we play legit teams this guy will be nowheresville.
DDY and "lemmings" all wanted Treshaun Harrison at RB. There are many reasons that recruitment was fucked up but outside of actually recruiting Treshaun and getting him to play RB there weren't many options in 2018.
Which was a completely legitimate viewpoint but keep on using your PGOS hindsight powers to proclaim everyone to be wrong when you never post any opinions of your own. -

Id go back and cherry pick all the shit people said about Newton if I wasnt lazy. Dont act like people werent saying it was a wasted scholarship and that he sucked and so does our RB coach -
It may just be because you are not interested in the intricacies of recruiting that you can’t separate out separate arguments. The primary argument against dick was not that he was terrible, it was just that he was a jag and didn’t look as good as Harrison and other top level recruits.PostGameOrangeSlices said:FremontTroll said:GrundleStiltzkin said:

You love to paint the recruiting bored with a broad brush but the main ridicule of Dick came from BallzDeep. Who now loves Dick and pretends he never hated it.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
Despite the initial ridicule Dick Newt seems solid, tooDennis_DeYoung said:

The consensus, if there was one, was "meh" he is a JAG as a recruit. Might end up good but isn't a special or rare human.
Of course it should be noted the RB class out West was incredibly weak in 2018. Dick was the 2nd highest rated RB in the West. The only other top-25 nationally ranked RB, Chris Brown who many on this bored wanted, went to Cal. After Brown and Dick the next highest rated West RBs went to Boise, SDSU, and Oregon State.
USC, Oregon, Stanford, Colorado, and ASU (x3) all went out of region for RBs.
Didn't expect to ever write that.Dennis_DeYoung said:
Meh.
I think they like Pleasant and are trying to be clever in a down year.
He's okay, I guess.
So yeah like I said, meh, JAG, not a rare human but not horrible. With a little DDY performance art sprinkled in there.Dennis_DeYoung said:He looks like Kamari Pleasant if Kamari just bounced everything outside.
He’s not a DDY1 like Chin or Nik Little, but he’s a low 2.
If you want to know what a good RB with his frame looks like, go watch Steve Carr’s highlights from last year.
This kid isn’t close to what we need to up the level of our team.
He’s like BBK, it’ll be barely noticeable that he’s not very good vs crappy teams, but once we play legit teams this guy will be nowheresville.
DDY and "lemmings" all wanted Treshaun Harrison at RB. There are many reasons that recruitment was fucked up but outside of actually recruiting Treshaun and getting him to play RB there weren't many options in 2018.
Which was a completely legitimate viewpoint but keep on using your PGOS hindsight powers to proclaim everyone to be wrong when you never post any opinions of your own.
Id go back and cherry pick all the shit people said about Newton if I wasnt lazy. Dont act like people werent saying it was a wasted scholarship and that he sucked and so does our RB coach
I am sorry to whomever’s feelings this hurts, but I’m not going to apologize for wanting players like Stephen Carr. -
Ahmed is nearly the opposite of gaskin, all world athletic potential but poor leverage (strength), poor balance, bad in pass protection, and bad vision.GreenRiverGatorz said:
I'm not sure why people think Ahmed is going to suddenly develop the requisite RB instincts needed to excel. The guy has no feel for reading blocks and is not going to become an effective inside runner after two years of showing no ability to do so. I have a lot more confidence in one of McGrew, Pleasant, or Dick becoming an every-down back than I do Ahmed. He's a total weapon, but he's limited.Dennis_DeYoung said:

I wish he was moved to slot WR full time last year, and sometimes used as a guy who can play RB when needed or matchups make sense.
Hopefully he makes a jump from pussy to legit angry RB like Polk did.
