Timu *dropped* turnoversStrongArmCobra said:
Sure, he was very heady and had great ball awareness. Timu forced turnovers too and had 100 tackle seasons too. Timu was a starter since he was a RS Freshman. Nobody gave a fuck as soon as we got a look at Azeem Victor. I don't think the defense will miss the lack of swag and hard hitting BBK brought and I think Wellington will make us forget BBK pretty quickly.dnc said:

LMAO! What the fuck? He earned the nickname "the jockey" because he rode on the backs of ball carries to bring them down you idiots! Not because of his lack of size. But because he was always getting dragged for extra yards after contact.CallMeBigErn said:StrongArmCobra said:

DL's job is push up the middle. They've done their part by and large, and are highly likely to do it this year. The DL is much more likely to be excellent this year than the LBs are. BBK is a huge loss.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

Our interior DL does not pressure the QB either. Yes buck is a weird hybrid position but it is more DL than it is LB. Most important responsibility is pass rush.
DL and BUCK are both bigger issues than LB. They need to get to the QB more, and yes they are good at stopping the run.
We have an All American candidate, Levi, who's job is to rush the passer and who's poised for a huge year, then two colossal space eaters in Taimani and Tuli to stop the run. But you feel better about Kyler Manu, Brandon Wellington (who's never been healthy in three years) and a bunch of freshman. OK!
Again I brought up the pass rush deficiency in the Bruener thread and you got all bent out of shape because you said it wasn't the defense that was the problem, it was Jake Browning and the offense. You're all over the fucking place.
Also, I like that you searched back to a poast I made FIVE WEEKS ago, so you could start a fight... and this is the best you could do? You seem hurt. And obsessed.
And yes the offense is the biggest issue, but the DL still needs to improve more than the LB crew for us to take the next step to elite status. Those things arent mutually exclusive.
Everyone hopes Levi can play at AA level but lipo. The talent there is also good. However, Jaylen played his best game against Bama in the playoff then seemingly regressed. We need the line to generate a pass rush if we are ever going to win NY6 let alone a natty
The edge rushers haven't done their part but that's a different position, different position coach and different discussion. I don't think anyone is arguing edge has been a strength.
I love how a 230 pound All-American is considered a jockey that won't be missed. That's rich. Wellington is 223.
Yeah he won't be missed. Doesn't mean he wasn't a good player for us. Timu was good for us...and wasn't missed when he was gone. More talent is better. We can revisit this after the season and see if anybody misses BBK. I doubt anybody will.
He’s very underrated around here. He might not be missed by posters who don’t appreciate him. He’ll absolutely be missed by the defense. -

You just hate being happy don't you? The next guys up are more talented than BBK and they're deep. Why the fuck would I expect to miss BBK? That's dumb. Don't be such a negadawg. -

When BBK was a junior the only reason he was good was because of Vea. Then Vea left and BBK got a lot better. He was really good. Lake and Petersen weren’t making it up when they praised him. Everyone including the NFL dawgs respected his game and knew he was a beast.dnc said:

Dude wasn't just all-conference, he was a fucking first team All-American! AP, Sportswriters, and PFF. Yeah, he wasn't 6'3", 250. He wasn't an intimidating enforcer. He gave ground on some tackles. He also MADE tackles that very few other linebackers in the country would have been in position to make. SAC, you're ignoring every way in which he was elite and pretending a few negative plays define him as a player.
Turns out they keep statistics in football. There will be actual numbers that paint a pretty clear picture of how Wellington stacked up to BBK in 2018. You're suggesting Wellington is going to make 94 solo tackles and 174 total? I seriously doubt it. I could totally see him beating either of BBK's 5.5 TFL or 2 sacks. Two interceptions is a reasonable goal to eclipse for Wellington. But three fumble recoveries and FOUR forced fumbles? Those are All-American numbers, hence All-American.
I'd love for Wellington to stay healthy and outplay BBK. That would mean he leads the NCAA in tackles, is a consensus All-American, and the Huskies' defense is almost assuredly really fucking good. That's just kind of a big ask. BBK will be missed. -
So you're saying both units return one quality upper classman, a pair of RS freshmen, and a bunch true freshmen with a lot of talent. But you pump up the DL for being in the same spot as the ILB even though the development track for linemen is longer? I don't follow.guntlove said:
Holy shit.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
Wambaugh and Manu getting minutes was a product of Beavers and Wellington injuries.guntlove said:
lol.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
The only thing Gregory needs to be canned from is Special Teamsguntlove said:The only way Bob Gregory will get a recruit to sign is if Lake, Malloe, and/or Pete are doing all the heavy lifting for him. Gregory is as useless as tits on a nun. Shit can this fucking idiot. And 86 Bhonerpha while you're at it.
The lbs have been good borderline great with okay recruiting, and according to the rankings we have gone nowhere but up
Damn near every LB on the roster is now a 4 star. The ones that arent are 3 stars everyone offerend, which to me is the same as a 4 star (Jackskn Sirmon, Ah You). The fact Ulofoshio getting PT is a possibility means he is out performing good recruits. He looked like a thumper on special teams all last season as a frosh
BBK, Victor, Keishawn, all solid players outperforming star rankings. Bartlett was okay, Beavers decent when healthy. I think the current recruits we have are going to be a lot better (Hammer, Calvert, Tafisi, etc.)
If Gregory recruits even a bit better and gets all 4 stars this group will always be great, maybe even "elite"
In a list of the top 5 reasons why UW is not elite, lbs are not there. Not even top 10
Gregory's such a stellar recruiter that Jake Wambaugh and Kyler Manu were getting serious minutes all last year. Look at our depth chart... we're a Wellington injury away from being up shits creek.
"not in the top 10 reasons UW isn't elite"... lulz. ILB is probably the number one question mark on the defense this year. We also haven't had an outside pass rush in three years. But, yeah... not in the top 10. Christ.
Again, LB is behind every offensive position group going into next season and also DL as far as concern.
Units that Im more concerned about than LB:
QB
WR
OL
RB
D LINE
BUCK
SPECIAL TEAMS
All worry me more than ILBs
Anyone who has watched any Husky Football the past 3 years would come to the same conclusion. Sorry you don't.
You're more concerned about the DL... A position where we have Levi (a potential All American), and two studs that redshirted while still getting 4 games experience - one of which (Taimani) the coaches raved about all spring, plus perhaps the best DL class the program's ever signed. And you're more concerned about that group than ILB. That's complete fucking nonsense.
Wellington is the only ILB with any game experience at all... and he's never made it through a season without being hurt. Because Greggy was so terrible at recruiting the only upperclass depth we have behind him is Kyler fucking Manu. All our talent is in our freshman classes. I'm not sure what we have with Sirmon and Tafisi... hopefully they'll be good but none of us know. I really like the freshman class.... I think Hammers and Calvert will be all conference down the road. But a team that has playoff aspirations relying on a bunch of true freshman at ILB is not exactly ideal. But you're more worried about the DL?? Jesus fucking christ. -

But you feel better about Kyler Manu, Brandon Wellington (who's never been healthy in three years) and a bunch of freshman. OK!
Again I brought up the pass rush deficiency in the Bruener thread and you got all bent out of shape because you said it wasn't the defense that was the problem, it was Jake Browning and the offense. You're all over the fucking place.
Also, I like that you searched back to a poast I made FIVE WEEKS ago, so you could start a fight... and this is the best you could do? You seem hurt. And obsessed.
And yes the offense is the biggest issue, but the DL still needs to improve more than the LB crew for us to take the next step to elite status. Those things arent mutually exclusive.
Everyone hopes Levi can play at AA level but lipo. The talent there is also good. However, Jaylen played his best game against Bama in the playoff then seemingly regressed. We need the line to generate a pass rush if we are ever going to win NY6 let alone a natty
The edge rushers haven't done their part but that's a different position, different position coach and different discussion. I don't think anyone is arguing edge has been a strength.
I love how a 230 pound All-American is considered a jockey that won't be missed. That's rich. Wellington is 223.
Yeah he won't be missed. Doesn't mean he wasn't a good player for us. Timu was good for us...and wasn't missed when he was gone. More talent is better. We can revisit this after the season and see if anybody misses BBK. I doubt anybody will.
He’s very underrated around here. He might not be missed by posters who don’t appreciate him. He’ll absolutely be missed by the defense.
They both had two picks as seniors.
BBK as a senior was a much better player than Timu ever was.
