Jones and Fuller by no means should have their spot given to them when they get back. They both sit injured in this most crucial time for that position group to start doing something of substance. I know Fuller played well most of last year but he really faded down the stretch. I really hope they are not handed their jobs.

I agree but we all know Petersen is going to do it. We should also throw in Pounds into this group.
- Best play of spring: Eason during his reps with 1st team dropped a dime 40 yards over the shoulder of Opera Singer up the right sideline. Baccellia, covered by cornerback Kyler, snagged it with only his right hand.
- Eason led the first-team offense to a touchdown during the final team period of the day. He threw a slant to Hunter (which he finished by throwing a solid shoulder into freshman safety Cameron Williams at the end of the play) and a 15 yarder up the seam to Chincredible. Ahmed capped the drive on the next play with a touchdown run up the middle.
- Haener took the first reps with the No. 1 offense. He was sacked on his first snap on a blitz by Myles Bryant, and he only completed a tunnel screen to Chico on the first drive. He hit Ozzy a few times over the middle in later periods. (Eason hit Ozzy over the middle too, and by all accounts Ozzy has been lighting it up the last handful of practices. He gets talked about most of any WR)
- Kyler picked off Sirmon during 7 on 7. He also blew through a block attempt by Spiker to wreck a quick swing pass from Yankoff completed to Bynum.
- Bryant moved back to nickel, Molden back to corner and Williams took his first reps at safety with the No. 1 defense. It’s becoming difficult to ignore what Williams is doing in his first college spring. He came over to break up a deep pass attempt from Eason to Bynum, smacking Bynum as the ball arrived (though Molden also was in good position to make a play). Later he nearly intercepted a pass thrown by Sirmon, breaking it up with his left hand. As Lake said afterward, it’s still early. But Williams certainly is performing so far like somebody who will at least begin the season on the depth chart.
- Another name to add to the “keeps on showing up” category is redshirt freshman linebacker Ulofoshio, who had another “sack” Monday, getting to Eason to end an 11-on-11 series.
- The first-team offensive line looked the same — Trey Adams, Luke Wattenberg, Nick Harris, Jaxson Kirkland and Jared Hilbers — though the second-team line looked a bit different because redshirt freshman Matteo Mele was out with an injury. Fifth-year senior Henry Roberts stepped in at left tackle with that group, and Victor Curne stepped in at right guard.
Lets just run quarters all year: Hampton/Molden/Williams/McKinney/Gordon/McDuffie/Taylor with Levi/Taki/Tryon and Myles Bryant at MIK.

I know this is slight hyperbole, but I’d be shocked if Jimmy Lake didn’t study the hell out of the Chargers’ 7DB defense that they used to beat the Ravens in last year’s playoffs. It was a pure genius scheme to neutralize Lamar Jackson’s running threat, and it could easily translate against the more option heavy teams UW will play.

Think about the delusion that U0 and Cuog fans about something changing in the back-end of our defense.
Maniacal laughter.
Hampton has everyone locked down and is rarely challenged.

But Welly is gonna be good this year. He can stay at MIK
This video has a really good breakdown:
