The staff isn't fucking around. This is really the depth chart. Some will change for sure, but this is how we have wombat playing against auburn. Also, azeem was a pre season all American legitamently getting benched two years ago (albeit he let himself go). This happens every year and everyone acts surprised. The only way to kill it from happening again is to not recruit shitty players.Penace said:I really hope we stop fucking around. These reps are valuable. I'll be honest I'm worried. 2 practices in and haener has been with the ones both times.

I'm worried about our new defensive scheme if we only play 6 players on D.godawgst said:
John Clark, Manu and Bowman are 3 of 6 starters if season started today on D.DoogCourics said:LPT said it feels like Gregory is trying to give Manu every chance to earn the job.
Pro tip Bob: he won’t. Move on.
They also said 3rd team OLB combo Latu and ZTF were the best looking pair of the day. 270 and 260 and both flashing.
The defense rests on why this team isn't NC caliber.
Bob Gregory is having to start a guy who last year who as a junior could not even get in a two man rotation (BBK/Tevis) and spell one of them once conference play started.
Glad recruiting doesn't matter. -
I'm with you. 75% of me believes Eason will be the starter, but every day (just like in spring ball) that Haener goes out there with the number ones is another connect the dots data point that is telling a different story.Penace said:I really hope we stop fucking around.

Caple Day 2:
“You’ve got to take chances,” said Haener, a sophomore who is in a battle with junior Jacob Eason for the starting quarterback job. “If interceptions happen, they’re going to happen. It’s part of the game. If we want to be explosive, you’ve got to take chances. … That’s part of the game. You’ve got to understand that.”
“Obviously, we’ve got a lot of playmakers out there,” Eason said. “Just taking some of the pressure off you, giving them a spotlight ball and let them use their skills to go make a play. It’s something like that. We’ve got guys like Hunter Bryant, Aaron Fuller, Quinten Pounds, Ty Jones — all those guys that can go up and make plays, take the spotlight off you. (You) don’t have to make the perfect throw. Let them do their job and make the good catch.”
“I think a lot of times, when you give them a chance, some of the guys who maybe you would not expect to be great with the ball in the air end up being a lot better,” Hamdan said. “So the biggest thing with us right now is making sure we’re leaving balls on the field and giving guys a chance to go make plays.
“I think in general, when you look at more possession-style receivers, bigger-body guys, they might not necessarily be creating separation as much, but they’ve got the ability to get up and use their vertical ability.”
“We’re not really trying to get the perfect, over-the-shoulder balls,” Jones said. “He’s going to put it up in the air and it’s going to be you vs. the DB, and it’s going to give us the shot to make a play. He’s going to give us shots, and we’ve got to go get them.
“I love jump balls, and as long as our quarterbacks keep giving us the shots, it’s on us to get them. I feel like that’s a big part of my game.”
- Eason took the first reps with the No. 1 offense, though he continued to split first- and second-team reps with Haener; redshirt freshman Jacob Sirmon got some series, too.
- Eason had a couple of sharp throws Saturday, including a bullet to Fuller up the seam (and another perfectly thrown ball, between two defensive backs, that Fuller dropped). He also found walk-on tight end Jack Westover for about a 20-yard gain just in front of closing safety Alex Cook. A screen pass to running back Sean McGrew also went for a big gain. Eason’s only real deep shot came during 7-on-7s, when he lofted a throw for receiver Andre Baccellia up the right sideline. But Myles Bryant read it well from his safety position, raced over to beat Baccellia to the spot and the ball fell incomplete (it likely would have been a big hit, at the very least, had the action been full speed). Eason also had a couple of shorter throws broken up by defensive backs, such as a throw to Fuller that Elijah Molden knocked away and a quick pass to McGrew that Kyler Gordon busted up (Gordon also broke up Eason’s final attempt of practice, a short toss to Marquis Spiker). And Eason was sacked by Ryan Bowman on his final series of practice, one play after a blitz forced him to heave an incompletion out of bounds.
- Hamdan’s assessment of Eason so far: “I think each guy’s got kind of a couple different things they do really well, and a couple things they’ve got to take the next step on. One thing I think with Eason, obviously, (is) incredible arm talent. … He’s a very cerebral kid. For him to continue to work on quick-twitch muscles, getting the ball out on time, those types of things will be critical.”
- Hamdan on Haener: “He’s a gutsy player. He always has been. He’s another guy you’ve got to kind of just let him go play. The way he is, the way he knows the system, he seems almost like he’s 25 years old. He’s a guy who has great command, he cares a lot about his game, he can make all the throws.”
- At one point, I counted 10 true or redshirt freshmen on the field together with the No. 3 defense: Faatui Tuitele and Noa Ngalu on the interior; Zion Tupuola-Fetui and Laiatu Latu at outside linebacker; Alphonzo Tuputala and Daniel Heimuli at inside linebacker; Turner and Kam Fabiculanan at safety; McDuffie at cornerback; and Irvin at nickel. The lone non-freshman in that lineup: fifth-year senior walk-on cornerback Dustin Bush.
- Tim Horn made all three of his attempts from about 38 yards to end practice. Incumbent starter Peyton Henry went 2-of-5 during the same drill.
- Myles Bryant continued to take all of his reps at safety with the No. 1 defense, with true freshman Cam Williams at safety alongside him, Gordon and Taylor at cornerback and Molden at nickel.
- Isaiah Gilchrist has been playing nickel with the No. 2 defense, with Dominique Hampton and McDuffie as the corners and McKinney and Cook as the safeties. -
I really like that starting secondary. Also Horn please keep it up.

Caple definitely seems more dialed in than the dawgman schmucks. Makes it seem like it's definitely Eason's to lose. Also Henry 2-5 from 38? JFC.DoogCourics said:Caple Day 2:

TYFYRDoogCourics said:Doogman:
- Jake Haener hit on several plays to Hunter Bryant, connected on a long pass to Aaron Fuller down the near sideline for a 40-yard pass over Trent McDuffie trailed the play, found Ty Jones for a big play on what was a third down, and then found Quinten Pounds for a nice gain on the next play to the other side of the field.
- Jacob Eason stepped into the offense and tallied big plays to walk-on tight end Jack Westover down the seam and to tailback Sean McGrew who took a short pass and made one man miss before heading down the sidelines for a 25-yard gain.
- Eason looked more comfortable than he's seemed to be since he arrived at Washington last year. He stood tall in the pocket, didn't seem to worry about the pass-rush and made quick reads which allowed him to get the ball out.
- Dylan Morris also had a good day although he wasn't head-and-shoulders better than the other quarterbacks like he was on day one and Sirmon was solid at different times, but the offense seemed to be disjointed more with him than it was when the other quarterbacks were directing the team.
- Fuller had a perfectly thrown pass from Eason go right through his hands while Marquis Spiker dropped a catchable pass that would have extended a drive.
- Morris found a streaking Trey Lowe down the far sideline only to have the redshirt freshman drop what would have been about a 60-yard gain.
- Kyler Gordon had the best shot at a turnover, having a ball go through his hands on a short pass to a tight end across the middle.
- Ariel Ngata got a touch sack on Jake Haener while Myles Rice had one on Eason as he was fending off a block from Victor Curne.
- 1st team OL was Trey Adams (LT), Luke Wattenberg (LG), Nick Harris (C), Jaxson Kirkland (RG) and Jared Hilbers (RT)
- 2nd team OL was M.J. Ale and Curne at guard while Henry Bainivalu was at right tackle. As far as left tackle and center, Henry Roberts and Matteo Mele each flipped back and forth between center and left tackle.
- Asa Turner and Kamren Fabiculanan were playing safety together. Fabiculanan was closer to line while Turner appeared to be playing more of the free safety spot.
- 1st team ILB were Brandon Wellington and *redacted*, the second group was Jackson Sirmon and MJ Tafisi while the third and fourth groups were Josh Calvert and Edefuan Ulofoshio and then true freshmen Daniel Heimuli and Alphonzo Tuputala. -
What's Julius Irvin up to these days?
