People who progressed:

John Timu
Kiel Rasp
Travis Coons


People who regressed:

Too many to name



Thoughts?

Passion

Regressed = Josh Shirley.

Sorry, but I still think that in the right scheme and with the right coaching, this kid will spend ample time in opposing backfields. He is undersized, but plenty of undersized DEs have succeeded in college with the right schemes and coaching.

I pray that Petersen can resurrect his career.

Shirley had no business playing on the d-line, ever. He has all the makings of a Victor Aiyewa type OLB, hopefully he joins Aiyewa in having a solid senior season. I see no reason why someone like Fuimaono should be starting over Shirley.

That would be too smart.

I think you'd have to say Sankey, Peters and Jamora progressed. Shelton? There's definitely a handful of players. Just not nearly enough.

I will be positive, because ... well it is the holiday season.

Somebody on Sark's staff knew how to develop running backs.

UW has a rich history of running backs, and to have two of the greatest go back to back ... that doesn't happen by chance.

Just my thought.

The guy that knew how to develop running backs was Joel Thomas. All Nanson did was what Thomas did. Joel, fortunately, could spot a drunk horse trying to get out of town and beat the horse out of the barn.

Beating the horse out of the barn and right to the slaughter house is not a win.

Arkansas is a fucking dumpster fire.

Shirley is a fucking sack machine. Apparently he has issues defending the run. When the other team plays hurry up UW can't sub Shirley in on passing downs.

I agree with Passion and hope for Shirley's sake he gets the chance to produce. With him on one end and Kikaha on the other you'd have a nasty pass rush.

It's shocking how wet water is these days.

MisterEm

Shirley may pick up a few sacks here and there but he is a liability on the defense, period.

A lot like Steve Nash the past 4-5 years. Yea, he may dish out 10 assists but he can't cover a sneeze.

doogsinparadise

It's called a weight room and coaching for fucks sake, Shirley you can't be serious.

To be fair Sione Potato was terrible when he came in and stayed that way, he didn't really regress.

I remember people getting fired up getting him but I never actually heard about his football skills... just that he could bench press a lot.
