But I thought the sam/buck was not a DL position. I heard we play a 2-4-5. Perhaps the bored could debate this and clarify so we all understand and can get to the bottom of this.chuck said:

Quick note on offensive line:
Through 3 games UW has averaged 196 yards rushing at a 4.8 clip. The 26 attempts for just 88 yards (3.4 per carry) against Utah is a massive ding, but Utah has a stingy run defense every year and JonDon wasn't doing any favors with the stubborn runs into the stacked box.
Most importantly, just 1 sack on the season, which was a Morris run out of bounds. So the offensive line that has 3 new starters and 2 starters that switched positions has been quite effective. Morris has had a typically clean pocket most drop backs and the line has played quite well in the run game.
Most of note is the strange blocking scheme of the last few years is gone. Huff has implemented a much more simple blocking scheme, and guys are crushing defenders on pulls, combo blocks, and are getting to the second level consistently.
I dig it.
Edit:
Obviously not just the offensive line. RB have been great at blitz pickup, and it can’t be understated how incredible Morris has been in the pocket. He steps up, moves around, and doesn’t panic and run around and cause a sack. Also, he gets rid of the ball quickly so the line doesn’t have to hold their blocks forever. -
While the 1H was a shitshow, it felt like Dylan was getting impatient in the pocket. I hope we roll him out and move the pocket going forward as he’s nails throwing on the run and I think it calmed him down locker-styleDoogCourics said:Quick note on offensive line:

Huff has recruited like a maniac the last three years, and this season he's showing he's got the coaching chops too. There is a fuck ton of talented depth on the OL.DoogCourics said:Quick note on offensive line:

OL has been great. Utah is stout up front and stacked the box. We didn’t run the ball well last game, but the blocking was pretty good.DoogCourics said:Quick note on offensive line:

Utah had extra guys down there and our RB’s missed some holes and also tried to bounce shit outside when they should have taken the 3-4 yards. Lake said Utah has been #1 in rush defense 5 years in a row. Simple dives aren’t going to work against them.
I’ve been critical of Huff’s coaching but the OL is good and will continue to get better. I think we have figured it out there. We aren’t all the way there yet, but it seems we are on the path.
We have brought in talent and guys are developing. Everyone looks great besides Watty (he’s decent). 2022 is going to be a great class for Huff. We have multiple lay ups with the in state guys. -
Another blocking area to improve on is turning upfield. Several times guards or TEs would trap or pull to kickout the last man on the LS only to find that Utah player would rush upfield effectively taking themselves out of the play. Rather than recognizing that, Otton or others would chase that defender looking to block rather than leaving them and turning upfield. Small nit but that turns something out of nothing on a few of those runs off of LT.DoogCourics said:Quick note on offensive line:

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.
-
Yeah, I've been really impressed with his pocket presence. He doesn't get skittish like Eason and Browning did. He moves really well and is great at pulling the trigger when he should. He has all the attributes of a guy who will continue to get better and better.RoadDawg55 said:Pass protection has been great so far. Morris’ best skill so far has been his movement in the pocket.

I’m bullish on Morris despite some bad throws and decisions because of his movement. I posted a few days ago that pocket presence is something QB’s either have or they don’t have. It only gets marginally better. There is an art to it and certain rhythm the good QB’s all have. Morris looks to have it.bananasnblondes said:

Jimmy said the lone sack was actually a scramble out of bounds that lost yards so he actually hasn't been sacked in the pocket yet.RoadDawg55 said:Pass protection has been great so far.

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.RoadDawg55 said:Pass protection has been great so far. Morris’ best skill so far has been his movement in the pocket.

He's also weirdly good at throwing when scrambling to his left.chuck said:

Yep, only lost like a yard or two. Could have thrown it away and have zero sacks on the year.insinceredawg said:

Yeah really good and man is that helpful. Hes able to turn his hips to the right while running left and has the strength to throw hard with a short arm motion. It reminds me of Locker who was also very good at that.Gladstone said:

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.Gladstone said:

Amazing placement on a ball that was thrown while running away from your dominant side. -
