Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

With Pete building the best OL that UW has seen since the 90s... is this his way at hinting that...

    So if he didn't plan to keep his offense, he would recruit lesser linemen? Huh?

    Okay, fair point.

    What I probably meant was that with UW getting the best OL in decades, he will be emboldened to keep his overly complicated offense to prove to the many doubting fans that his offense can indeed win an NC.

    Though there is an 81% chance he'd keep is overly complicated offense anyway, even if we weren't getting the best OL in decades.
    One the biggest misnomers on this bored is CP’s “complicated” offense.

    TE’s trading sides, WRs shifting and RPO’s are not fucking complicated.

    All offenses look complicated if the execution sucks.


    The motion isn’t the complicated part. That’s the misnomer. It’s the intricate and multiple blocking/protection schemes and reads by the QB that make things hard.
    We were an RPO offense last season. Brownsocks had to count + read a defender and make a choice. Every non-triple school in the country runs them. Our? QB made shit reads + Bush was inconsistent.

    UW is not Air Raid-ian levels of simplicity but it isn’t that complicated

    So maybe unnecessarily ‘busy’ or ‘cute’ is a better way to describe it? I don’t know... perhaps all the pre-snap motioning just makes it seem more complicated than it actually is. I do know Pete said at the end of last season that he would look to simplify the offense before this season. Not sure what that’s gonna look like... I guess we’ll see. EWIWBI.
    Right.

    I took simplify as meaning a more “focused” approach to the offense... As in, clearly defining what we? want to be as an offense and how we? want to do it.

    The concepts we teach aren’t THAT complicated. It’s how they’ve been applied is what has held us back IMO

    I might be the minority of one, but I like “we don’t have an offense, we run plays” thing.

    I don’t totally disagree, just pointing out that the shifts/motions aren’t the complexities that cause us problems.

    Oh and one more thing...

    If you’re going to run the option, please for the luv of all the cute kittens and puppies in the world, make sure that the QB understands how to read the end and make the correct decision of whether to pitch or keep.

    Or better yet, change out of it presnap when defense is cheated playside.
    Yeah and run a quick slant right behind those motherfuckers. Or flip the play call.
