It's just a totally different thing kicking an oblong ball without a tee.RealRhino said:I just don't fucking get the kicking thing. How fucking hard is it? I live by a high school where I use the track to run and several times I've seen random HS kicker out there practicing to try to get a college scholarship to some juco or small college and from what I see he's nailing kicks from 35 and in 98% of the time. Shit, I played HS soccer with a polish guy that could kick a ball through a fucking brick wall and hit a FG from 45 easy, and this was just some guy who wasn't even interested in football. And we hand Chris Sailer $10.95 and a blowie for some list and the guys on the list can't hit 3/3 from inside the 40?
It shouldn't be this hard. Fuck the kicking camps, scout the fucking soccer team.
Nobody has any fucking clue how to scout kickers. The problem is a few fucks like Sailer pretend they do.
If I were in charge there would never be a scholarship given to a placekicker and the spot would be open for tryouts every year, at least until we had a particularly proven returnee.
Wasting multiple scholarship on kickers while Henry is a walk on and the best we have is chinsanity. -
LPT discussed this as well. They say Horn will likely handle kickoffs because his leg is incredible.RealRhino said:I just don't fucking get the kicking thing. How fucking hard is it?

That said, they had good things to say about Henry. They said compared to the way he looked last year, it's night and day.
Supposedly he is booming all of them. Every kick is struck well and clears with plenty of distance (of course they're all fucking 30-40 so whatever). He's drilling the kicks without hesitation or looking shaky or dicey. People have been saying he is the player who has taken the biggest step between last year and this year.

Since this was the last open practice to the media and we likely won't hear shit from here on out, LPT had their final takeaways.
They said the biggest thing is that the offense has been making more plays than they have in previous camps. There is nothing wrong with the defense, and that the talent and skill level of the defense doesn't look to have fallen off.
But the QB's are being aggressive and throwing it up to give the WR chances. Junior Adams has been preaching attack attack attack. Go get the ball. (They think this is why we haven't seen much from Spiker, that he is just playing too soft).
Basically, for the first time in Petersen's tenure the coaches have opened up the offense and are taking more chances downfield.
FUCK YOU JAKE BROWNING YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
Oh and you too Lubick. -

I'm actually shocked by that, given how physical he seemed in his high school film. But hey, this is why you stack talentDoogCourics said:(They think this is why we haven't seen much from Spiker, that he is just playing too soft).

Here's your? 2019 season right there.DoogCourics said:Doogman:
- The defense came up with four interceptions, only three of which counted as one involved pass interference, while the offense had several big plays but only one touchdown.
- The quarterback competition continues, but Jacob Eason sure looks like he's feeling much more comfortable at the controls of the offense, stepping up deftly to avoid the rush, hitting quick passes to receivers and finding open players on his check-downs. Eason found Jordan Chin down the near sideline with a perfectly placed pass that allowed Chin to go up in the air over the corner in coverage
- Ty Jones' reputation during his first two seasons with the Dawgs was that he was a big receiver who plays small. This fall he has been starting to take the next step, and on Tuesday, he went up and make some nice catches with players draped on him and he even broke off a route and got open for Eason as the quarterback scrambled to get away from the pass rush. He also high pointed a ball from Haener in the middle of three defenders.
- Jake Haener had the play of the day, finding Westover in the back of the endzone and made a couple of nice throws that resulted in first downs. Haener was intercepted in 7v7 work by Kyler Gordon who made a nice break on a pass, but otherwise, he had a solid day.
- Jacob Sirmon and Dylan Morris each had some nice throws and both seemed to have some success between the 20s, but once they got into the redzone, they struggled. Morris did find Puka Nacua across the middle for a nice catch with Mishael Powell draped all over him.
- Salvon Ahmed had a big run in one of the final full team sessions, making a defensive tackle miss in the backfield and then bursting to his left down the sidelines for a 30-yard run.
- Two other players worth mentioning are tight end Hunter Bryant and receiver Chico McClatcher. Both have been the most consistent playmakers for the Husky offense in the first week of camp and each were consistent in getting open and making plays down the field on Tuesday.
- Near the end of practice, Laiatu Latu and redshirt freshman Zion Tupuola-Fetui were both in as the edge players with the first unit, playing alongside Josiah Bronson and Levi Onwuzurike along the defensive front.
- Latu definitely looks like a player who will see playing time this fall with his size and explosiveness to go along with his natural pass-rushing skills. He never seems to be phased by anything and he has the size and strength to play right away.
- 1st team secondary was Myles Bryant and Cameron Williams at safety, Keith Taylor and Kyler Gordon at corner and Elijah Molden over the slot as the nickel corner.
- Dominique Hampton intercepted Dylan Morris whileAsa Turner intercepted Sirmon.
- Peyton Henry appears to be pulling away from freshman Tim Horn at this point. Even with a 10 to 15 mph cross-wind, Henry was still able to hit on his three "live" attempts (32, 39 and 30) while Horn missed on two of his three attempts from the same distances. Henry is hitting the ball very well, especially when you compare his kicks to things at this time last year. -
why the FUCK is Soderberg still on scholly. Fuck, I thought he was gone years ago. Shit

Best freshman edge rusher in the conference.proof said:Latu is going to be so good.
