Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

With Pete building the best OL that UW has seen since the 90s... is this his way at hinting that...

    The motion isn’t the complicated part. That’s the misnomer. It’s the intricate and multiple blocking/protection schemes and reads by the QB that make things hard.
    We were an RPO offense last season. Brownsocks had to count + read a defender and make a choice. Every non-triple school in the country runs them. Our? QB made shit reads + Bush was inconsistent.

    UW is not Air Raid-ian levels of simplicity but it isn’t that complicated

    So maybe unnecessarily ‘busy’ or ‘cute’ is a better way to describe it? I don’t know... perhaps all the pre-snap motioning just makes it seem more complicated than it actually is. I do know Pete said at the end of last season that he would look to simplify the offense before this season. Not sure what that’s gonna look like... I guess we’ll see. EWIWBI.
    Right.

    I took simplify as meaning a more “focused” approach to the offense... As in, clearly defining what we? want to be as an offense and how we? want to do it.

    The concepts we teach aren’t THAT complicated. It’s how they’ve been applied is what has held us back IMO

    I might be the minority of one, but I like “we don’t have an offense, we run plays” thing.

    I don’t totally disagree, just pointing out that the shifts/motions aren’t the complexities that cause us problems.

    Or better yet, change out of it presnap when defense is cheated playside.
    Yeah and run a quick slant right behind those motherfuckers. Or flip the play call.

    My thoughts as well. I think there are too many reads, and ti much reliance on too many players making the same read. Theres just too much perfection required all around.

    Now that the offense is starting to look like the talent is elite, or closer to elite, and spread to all position groups (especially the OL), it's time to put more reliance on your guys just being better. Run what you're good at and dare them to stop it. Even Sark was willing to go to that tactic at times rather than always trying to be the play calling genius.

    Browning was like watching Bo Jackson running backwards in tecmo bowl but without the touchdowns.

    Eason going exactly the opposite direction Browning would go in the off season. Maybe the coaches finally allowed our QB to spend time working on his craft and preparing his body for competition.

    Eason is the QB who gets frustrated with the play call knowing it doesn’t work and Audibles to the exact play the coaches don’t want and then throws a TD
