Why has University of Washington Defense Been So Good?

At 12:53, our safety is lined up 22 yards off the LOS.

Is the 22 yard safety a Jimmy wrinkle that UW has done the last three years or were the Dwags doing this since 2014? Honest question.
I don't remember this being an object of conversation until the last few years. -
He should have included some film from our Stanford games where they tear our defense up.

I second that. I don't see anything inherently wrong with having a very deep safety on certain looks.theknowledge said:Is the 22 yard safety a Jimmy wrinkle that UW has done the last three years or were the Dwags doing this since 2014? Honest question.

As a wrinkle, or a look it seems fine but UW seemed to run this “look” all the time in our epic four game season. My question is was this deep safety stuff run between ‘14 and ‘16 or was it something Jimmy implemented when he became DC and then asked Kwat to continue last year? Just wondering if any of you game tape guysms know the answer to this. TIAHFNY said:

Does Mike have any interest in being an OC?

It's been good from an advanced metrics standpoint but teams with less talent consistently beat it now which is the most important stat of all.

I wish I had some game tape. If it became more prevalent, I wonder if it was more to do with personnel. The D missed arguably its two best players in Tyron and Levi O. Tuli L. & Latu were also out for a lot of the season (plus Bowman missed a couple of games) so maybe they instructed the Cover 3 safety to play a little deeper most snaps. -
The insanely deep safety has always been a staple of the Kwiatkowski defense. Always.

Gracias. I just don't remember anyone here calling it out or having any problem with it until 2019 and 2020.1to392831weretaken said:The insanely deep safety has always been a staple of the Kwiatkowski defense. Always.
