All 22 Eason/Offense Breakdown

ExtraChrisB

https://youtu.be/PbBW-r3xVSs

Former NFL guy JT O'Sullivan has a pretty good YouTube channel and he's breaking down every pass against Oregon here. Long video and a lot of in depth scheme stuff, but some pretty interesting info. Highlights a lot of misses by Eason but also questions a lot of the design of our offense. Mentions all the shifts and motions making life difficult for QBs.

My biggest takeaway is that nobody was on the same page. I've only watched a couple of his breakdowns, but this was by far the most negative. A few good playcalls gone to waste because Eason inexplicably throws a checkdown passing up on a "walk in touchdown," as O'Sullivan calls em. Then the flip side with a handful of plays that he hates by design, weird protections, confusing shifts, even mentions how dumb going wildcat on third downs was. Also a few WRs screwing up routes and blowing up plays (Puka was a notable one.)

Obviously it's just one game, but that all sounds about right. Distrust on both sides. Bush and Pete frustrated because Eason can't/won't work through his reads and makes them look worse than they are. Eason pissed off because of poor scheme. Result was a disjointed offense that fell apart as games went on and they hit any adversity.

DerekJohnson

I'm halfway through this and it is pretty damning. It will make posters shake and on the verge of vomiting when they see the multiple missed easy touchdowns against Oregon. I'm not sure whether to place blame on Eason or the coaches, but my inclination is to blame Eason 30% and the coaches 70%.

Eason's success in the NFL will depend on him being coachable.

I remember this being one of our best offensive games

I used to love rewatching entire Husky games, now even watching clips I react like Uma’s character in “Kill Bill” when she sees someone who betrayed her.

This was a great watch. Really depressing, but well broken down. It appears that there was plenty of blame to go around for our offensive ineptitude.

That was really interesting and had some good non-QB takeaways as well.

- Ahmed was a horrible blocker
- Bynum is probably going to be quite good
- Nacua needs to keep learning the playbook
- Bacellia actually did beat someone deep in his career (but didn't get thrown to), however he still sucks

This also further confirmed that Pete & Bush neutered Eason's greatest strength. I have to believe that Eason threw so many check downs because the coaches told him to protect the ball, and thus he was getting through his reads too quickly and not looking for the deep ball. Not throwing deep allowed Oregon to play a lot more cloud coverage close to the line, taking away our crossing routes and slants. This was so frustrating to re-watch.

Also noticed he tends to get manhandled a bit. For a guy of his build, he needs to be a bit tougher on cornerbacks.

Yep. It was a small set plays, but he seemed to either run the wrong route, get manhandled/bumped off his route, or make a huge play.

Can he be our new OC?

It's a great video. I put 50% on Eason, 50% on staff. Bottom line he has the ball in his hand every play. There are some QBs who would hit those passes. He should be that guy, but he's not.

It's a stupid offense though. He didn't throw to Baccellia on the deep pass because he was sick of throwing to Baccellia. Total dysfunction.

He's not qualified. I looked up his bio and he's never been the assistant to the RB coach at any level.

This was good to watch and depressing at the same time.

I’d also like to take this moment to ESPN and all the other sports networks to do more All 22 games. Fuck the stupid shit they’re constantly showing us.

Washington can tell its story without Oregon.

Can't bring myself to watch this. It just doesn't matter. I expect Husky football teams to under-perform year in and year out. They'll blow a couple of stupid games a year by sleep-walking through said games and not caring enough to gut out wins. The offense will be shit as fuck under OC ______ and QB ______. Insert any name in those blank spots. It just doesn't fucking matter. We? will continue running some watered-down offensive scheme that sucks ass and fizzles. Many more drive-killing plays in our? future.

Fuck this shitshow of a football team.

Was not expecting the video to leave me in a state of deep, seething anger. A bit of an existential crisis. My first memory of anything is UW winning the national championship in January of 1992. I got a taste and will never taste it again lol

MikeDamone

Biggest takeaway - Damone was right. Some saw it earlier than tge Oregon game.

The entire first half of the season we were losing our minds that Puka wasn’t playing, and Pete kept saying once guys know the playbook they’ll play.

Seems he was telling the truth that Puka didn’t know what he was doing yet.

Which is why he shouldn’t have had such a dumb fuck offensive scheme that makes one of the few positions that should be able to play right away impossible to learn. Give the kid simple routes and let him go destroy DBs.

For fuck’s sake man.
