Irvin had insane high school film and is a great athlete. He’s been battling injuries the first two years so I wouldn’t be surprised if he overtook a safety spot (Williams) now that he’s healthy.
I would be fine with Irvin beating out Cam Williams. I like Cam and think he'll be good but he had some really bad plays last year
I think Coker also spotted JTT and Egbuka in the background next to Jimmy Lake as well. He's still enhancing the film. More to come.
You huskies are so funny! Cause I am sure you all know that if that was true it would be a crootin violation. Its more likely its jeremy stevens and hope solo drinking beer on the sidelines.
people here severely underestimate how huge a role the haener drama of last year lead to pete quitting. haener isn't anything special but he legitimately beat eason out in fall camp
Jimmy mentioned in an interview yesterday that he is an equal opportunity employer. And what he means by that is that he needs someone to step up and take the job. And just because he is named the starter, it doesn’t mean he’s going to stay that way. He’s had starters on the defense that get pulled after game 3 (Kyler Gordon for Trent McDuffie last year, Cam Williams for Brandon McKinney).
“Our coaches grade every practice and every scrimmage. Every game that we’ve had internally. We really lean off those. I tell the guys all the time, the film is going to tell us. Who knows the plays? Who can regurgitate the play in the huddle? Who can execute it? Who can see the coverage? Who can make a play when a blitzer is in your face? Who can get us into a good play? Who can lead the team? And all those add up day after day after day, and by the end of this week hopefully we are going to know who that is going to be. But it’s never final either. At any position it’s never final. This is a constant battle, it’s a constant competition. And everyone knows that on this team, that you can never sit back and relax because I’m the starter. No no no no, now is the time for you to perform.”
I know there is a lot of hand wringing about multiple QBs playing and sharing reps. But honestly for me, I like that Jimmy is bringing his philosophy from the defense over to the full team. You don’t start because you’re a veteran (Opera Singer). You don’t get to relax and be lazy because you’re the incumbent (Browning). You’re going to earn the job, and once you do, you’re going to perform or you’re going to lose it.
And if none of these QBs can do it, then you pick the best of the shits and you run the fucking ball and play amazing defense and The Chosen One takes over next year. ISHIT.
Lake mentioned Asa as someone who has really thrived this year and has been instructing DBs (Not names Molden/Taylor/McDuffie) on assignments and technique.
What I can’t figure out is how we keep recruiting quarterbacks with poor throwing form. The midget kid throws almost a half sidearm style with the release point so early and low it looks like he’s pushing the ball.
Cyler and all the jakes had a lot of the same, right down to the bad feet and that annoying kick of the free foot at the end.

Sure, but tell me about when saban, urban, dabo, James or any other hall of fame coach quit over a Fresno state QB.

Kid is balling out.
Asa is going to be a monster in this defense. A big rangy safety that can cover TEs is one of the few things that our D hasn't had through the Petersen/Lake era.
With so many people here dogging the offense, I truly think we're going to be halfway decent. Our skill positions are going to be quite good. I'm more worried about the OL than I am the QB.
I'm thinking we'll grade our offense as around a C/C+ and Defense will be an A-/B+ this year. Both of those would be substantial upgrades from last year.

Or why we can't coach it out of them*.
*Thomson I get, you don't fuck with someone's form once they're in their 40s.

If you don’t think that CP, one of the best coaches in college football, didn’t do this, I don’t know what to tell you. All coaches do this.
I remember hearing that Jimmy does a lot of his defense study by attending offensive seminars or whatever. So maybe that is why he got Donovan so he could low key be the OC.

And that is with me being one of the biggest CP apologists in the site. I would say yes to this for the first half of his tenure, thus Browning and Pettis playing early, etc.
But last year for example: Nacua, Bynum, Ulofoshio. Guys who weren’t getting any run and then as soon as they do they are clearly the best player when compared to their veteran starters playing over them.
The only spot that wasn’t doing that was the DBs. Lake threw the freshman out there all the time.
And multiple times this offseason Lake has made comments about how the offense must be more simple and easier like the defense has been. Also that there is no reason young guys shouldn’t be able to grasp the playbook and play immediately, like the defense has done. And last but not least, that the best players will play no matter their experience or age.
Maybe it’s just confirmation bias because I’m looking for it (wanting a change from watching Baccelia and Manu), but to me these were veiled shots at the way Petersen ran his offense and personnel.

Peterman doesn't deserve to be in that group of coaches you listed.
