Coaches and Scouts view on UW

It’s a talent problem not a scheme problem.

The problem we had against SC in 2016 was situational playcalling tho.

Yes. Did you see our WR talent? Did you see teams put 8 in the box every play? Did you see how shitty Jake Browning was?

I’m skeptical that they will be as good as predicted (pac 12 champs). Losing 10 on defense and the best RB is school history and have no drop off? I don’t see it. This is an 8 or 9 win team.

Jeezus Damone, you sound like fucking Pumpeii.

I’m also not a doog

This was written by Eklund. All of them are written by the team 247 scouts. There aren’t real scouts doing this stuff.

I chinned it cause I love shots at these guys but I'm guessing Huffman. It's one of the western regional guys.

"He's one of the most technically-sound linemen I've seen this year and I've been to schools from all over this spring."

Eklund hasn't been to schools all over Puget Sound this spring, let alone actual universities.

No fucking way. This is a lifetime of thoughts for Eklund.

Also the guy says he only went to four practices. He is not a beat reporter. And he speaks of CP and Adams from an outsider's perspective who is around a lot of different coaching staffs.

No “scout” would talk about Scott Huff or Cam Williams. “I like Scott Huff” wasn’t a dead give away? Most the coaches in the Pac 12 probably don’t know who Huff is. You think Petersen could name half the schools in the Pac-12’s OL coach?

Who are these scouts that visit spring balls and have these write ups? I’ll answer for you, it’s Eklund and the other team writers.

Exactly. I've wondered the same.

When you see the real version of these with the HCs takes, each one is like two lines long. None of them have time or interest to stand there and dissect each other program.

They say a few complimentary things, maybe make one obvious critical observation ("well they're going to have to replace Myles Gaskin, but Chris Petersen is one of the best in the business and I'm sure they'll have someone ready to go!") and move on.

I don't know if there is a pecking order in journalism, but if there is sports journalism has to be at or near the bottom with the National Enquirer.

Looks like @EwaDawg has me off ignore.

Welcome back dumb fuck.

Pretty sure these were from talking to NFL scouts and national writers. Local reporters and coaches don't say shit like that.

Scouts think we will make a bowl game regardless of QB play. That take is hotter than two rats fucking in a wool sock.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel made up one of those comments. I am convinced Yogi Roth made the OKG comments.

This is how I feel about the entire UW program under Petersen: "I think they should be better than they're playing. They dominate teams they are better than, but when it comes to teams that are as talented or more talented, they struggle some."

UW should be running the table versus conference opponents because the Pac 12 fucking sucks, but we? aren't.

The only game I've seen us win versus a more talented team under Petersen is 2015 @ SC (And let us not forget that included the Sark factor).

2016 vs SC, 'Bama, Auburn, Penn St., tOSU... I believe all those games were winnable, but Petersen didn't have the team, coaches included, prepared well enough for what was necessary to win. It's on the head coach.
