    Did anyone else notice ty jones was the closest to otton when he scored and didn’t even celebrate? Just slowly walked off the field.

    Nope. Just another reason to hate the guy. Otton is a better receiver than he is

    Pass protection has been great so far. Morris’ best skill so far has been his movement in the pocket. He steps up and moves around when needed. Eason would have been sacked more than once. Allowing one sack in 3 games is good shit. It’s a team effort and has been fun to watch.

    It's nice having a QB with that instinctive ability to move and dodge in the pocket without the play breaking down. UW hasn't had one for a while. Browning and Eason in particular did not have that skill.
    He's also weirdly good at throwing when scrambling to his left.
    He gets a lot of velocity on those throws. The game winning TD to Otton was not only fast but also in front of Otton where he had to go get it. The defender was tailing Cade and if that ball was on his body or a touch behind its possibly knocked away.

    Amazing placement on a ball that was thrown while running away from your dominant side.
    Lake mentioned during the Lake Show with Castricone that Jon Don practices this situation with the QBs every day. Nothing is there, climb the pocket, get yourself parallel to the line of scrimmage, find someone coming across to meet you, square up your hips and fire the ball.

    Every day. And we’ve seen it from Morris multiple times this season. JonDon has broken the bullshit habit of running backwards that Babushka and Hamdan couldn’t break in their QBs.

    Or Morris just has a natural feeling for the pocket. Either way I don’t care. It’s great.
    Oh, also note: it was the same exact situation and play he made earlier in the drive to Nacua on the diving catch. I love it.
