Turn on the Oregon, Stanford (2017), Utah (2017) Penn State, and tOSU tapes.

Are you suggesting PFF doesn't watch film? Or the AP voters? They thought his play warranted first team All-American. Should we put on the film of all the games in which first round draft pick Kaleb McGary was victimized? Or the games where first round draft pick Drew Sample had a bad showing? Byron Murphy, top of the second round, also looked like hot garbage in that 2017 Stanford game (fresh off injury and rusty, to be fair). There is not a player in the country who's film is perfect.backthepack said:Turn on the Oregon, Stanford (2017), Utah (2017) Penn State, and tOSU tapes.
I'm also guessing that were I to watch all of those games objectively, looking at EVERY play instead of just the few where BBK struggled to get off blocks or failed to bring a running back down at the point of contact, he'd balance out at an above average grade.
My fuzzy impression of BBK was that he actually looked shockingly good in limited action as a sub-200 pound true freshman WIL. Fast to the ball and sure tackler. His sophomore season was very JAGgy, and it looked to me like it was due to putting on weight too quickly and losing any speed advantage (got absolutely burned on an underneath route, or 70-21 might have been 70-17). His junior season, I wanted badly to hate him, as he was in there in place of Azeem, my then favorite Husky player of the past decade. Couldn't hate him, though. Getting dragged or not, being... not intimidating or not, his play was legit, and the defense somehow improved. Senior year? Anybody arguing against his play last season is just the definition of stubborn and clinging to a shitty narrative.

Wellington will ball out and the defense will be collectively better than last season. That's why BBK won't be missed. I'll be glad to bring this up mid way through the season and after the season and see if anybody actually misses or missed BBK. "Missing" a former player usually suggests a noticeable drop off in performance from the guy or guys replacing him and I just don't see that happening. We'll see.

Byron Murphy did not play in the 2017 Stanford game.

BBK was very overrated by the media as a sophomore and junior and underrated by Hardcore Husky as a senior.backthepack said:Turn on the Oregon, Stanford (2017), Utah (2017) Penn State, and tOSU tapes.

I thought bbk was very good vs tOSU. At least in the second half.backthepack said:Turn on the Oregon, Stanford (2017), Utah (2017) Penn State, and tOSU tapes.
He was a much better player in 2018 than 2017 -
Couple things...ExtraChrisB said:
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:

Wambaugh and Manu getting minutes was a product of Beavers and Wellington injuries.guntlove 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.
Levi > Wellington. And it's not really close. Levi got a ton of reps in 2017 and started all 2018... playing at an all-conference level by the end of the year. He's got a chance to be drafted in the first couple of rounds if he plays to this potential. Wellington has had special teams experience... and started games here and there, but he was hurt almost all last year, and has been hurt every year he's been here. Even if he can stay healthy all year, his ceiling is nowhere near Levi's.
Tuli & Taimani > Tafisi & Sirmon. Tuli and Taimani got a lot of valuable reps in their four games last year and played pretty well. The coaches raved about Taimani this spring. Tafisi and Sirmon got some time on special teams, but not much other than that. When we were really thin at ILB, the coaches turned to Wambaugh and Manu.
John Clark, Draco Bynum, Josiah Bronson = Kyler Manu & Edufuan Ulofoshio. Pretty underwhelming on both sides here... Though Ulofoshio has shown some promise.
I would've put the true freshman DL ahead of the true freshman LB... but if we add To'oto'to then the LB trio of Hammer, Calvert, & To'oto'to is every bit as good as Tuitele, Bandes, and Pa'ama. Add to that DBs like Gordon, Hampton, Irvin, and McDuffie... and it's boner time.
