Super frustrating, considering we couldn't get off the field on third down in the Fiesta Bowl, then had to watch Haskins throw all over us in the Rose Bowl. We need a fucking pass rush.
Gregory and Kwat have been atrocious in recruiting this year... it will continue to hold us back until Pete decides to do something about it.
Also, the sack rate was good until last season. 1 bad (and it was bad) season in 5.
2014: UW averaged 10.21 sacks + TFL per game... Defense faced 1068 plays. 1068/14 = 76.28 avg. plays per game. 10.21/76.28 = 13.3% of plays are sack or TFL
2015: UW averaged 9.62 sacks + TFL per game... Defense faced 933 plays. 933/13 = 71.76 plays per game. 9.62/71.76 = 13.4% of plays are sack or TFL
2016: UW averaged 9.36 sacks + TFL per game... Defense faced 963 plays. 963/14 = 68.78 plays per game. 9.36/68.78 = 13.6% of plays are sack or TFL
2017: UW averaged 9.62 sacks + TFL per game... Defense faced 876 plays. 876/13 = 67.38 plays per game. 9.62/67.38 = 14.2% of plays are sack or TFL
2018 was so bad it doesn't matter. -
Process isn’t just about missing the players in front. Cooper was targeted at ILB by Gregory and Gregory even took him and his family on a one on one campus tour. Once we lost Herbig, Coach K took over his recruitment, much like Bush took over WR recruiting while Lubick was fucking up last year. Then there is the lack of unofficial visits from ILBs in Cali and being late to offer Julien Simon in the midst of Gregory’s struggles connecting with players. Should we even mention Flowe who’s best friends with Cam Davis?NLdawg said:
Let’s call a spade a spade here. We followed the process. We targeted botehlo and herbig. We whiffed and that should be harshly evaluated and criticized. The process dictated pursuit of the next guys on the board. McDonald fell in that slot. We targeted him, crooted him, got him. That’s the process, that’s what we’ve always done under Pete.LaMichael_Corleone said:
The doogs are out to play. Grade on process. Not on “stars”. We had two guys higher than him who had been on campus with a teammate coming here. They committed to Midwest schools without giving UDUB an official visit. This kid isn’t as good as those kids and those kids weren’t as hard to land as Elias Ricks, Kelee Ringo, etc.NLdawg said:
Tiring, isn’t it? Slow strategy white kid from Texas with less than 4 stars next to his name. Therefore we hate him.CallMeBigErn said:
Way to toe that party line. Don't think you strayed an inch.Beno4Life said:
What's Gregory's contract status? Someone mentioned on Twitter replacing him with Gerald Alexander. Talk about a boner. Can he coach special teams?Fear_Boner said:Too much “but he’s a bigger BBK” talk. I hated BBK for a long time. We need to address the @LaMichael_Corleone question directly on EVERY recruit: Will this kid level up the program so we can beat the elite? This God fearing kid ain’t McMillan or Murao. We need to ditch Gregory and replace him with someone who can do better (and make K better).
God I hope he and Paopap and Boner get canned sooner than later.
“Did you fuck the two hot chicks you were talking with at the club?”
“No but wait till you see the third option that I met a few weeks later. She’s not as hot but her personality is so chill” - Losers.
If you think the kid isn’t good and not worthy of an offer, fine. Just say that and time will tell. Otherwise, let’s not create straw man arguments about process and timing when, in fact, the process was followed to a T, albeit without the top end results we wanted.
Grading recruiting process isn’t about grading the player because we’re at a level now where every player that comes here is going to be decent. This is about grading and evaluating coaches. -
I think the sack numbers in 2017 benefited from the fact that we had a generational talent inside with Vea.... but we were getting no heat from the edge (copyright @passion). Then as you said, the sack numbers fell off a cliff in 2018. So we're not trending in a very good direction.TacoSoup said:

But my concern isn't with the play calling, it's with the failure to recruit OLBs who have bend and can get around the edge... this has been a problem for going on five fucking years. Last years OLB class might be the one exception... But even then, I don't really know what we got with Trice - he certainly doesn't blow you away on film. I'm really excited about Latu... just hope he doesn't outgrow the position.
Gregory and Kwat fail A LOT in recruiting. It's a problem and apparently its gonna continue to be a problem because Pete doesn't seem to want to do anything about it. Butttt... Getting Banks and Smalls this year would go a long ways toward turning this thing back in the right direction. Get 'er done!!!! -
TFL does not necessarily have the same impact as a sack. I'd love to see this broken down by sacks and TFLs.TacoSoup said:

Those are false stats. Don't know where you're getting them from. Maybe if you include sacks by inside linebackers and DB's. As far as sacks from D-lineman, UW has been in the bottom half of the conference for years.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Lol get the fuck right out of here with that shit. Sacks by DBs and inside linebackers all of a sudden don't count because you say so. Got it.StrongArmCobra said:

Do you ever know what the fuck you're talking about?
Jesus Christ you have a complete inability to ever admit you're wrong. Shit, I'd respect you more if you just slinked away and never acknowledged the fact that you were wrong. But nah, it's always your instinct to move the goal posts and twist whatever dumb shit you initially said to try to save face and somehow prove yourself right. Which you almost never are. -
You obviously know what the fuck I meant. If we are discussing UW's pass rush, sacks from blitzing linebackers and DB's shouldn't be in the fucking discussion. That skews the data and it's a sign that you aren't good enough with your front 4 if you have to supplement the pass rush with other guys who should be in coverage. The pass rush has been a weak link for this team since Kikaha left. You're trying to say it wasn't so bad and it's bullshit. It's been bad for years now.GreenRiverGatorz said:
