I've been away far too long and missed some quality discussions around here.DerekJohnson said:Can't we get back to talking about areolas the size of sand dollars?

Petersen has never had a TE with ASJ's ability. He's a smart coach. He designs his offenses around the players he has to work with. ASJ would be featured if he was still here. I do agree that Peterman will find a way to work around it, and we have big WR's to help block in Kasen, String, and Daniels.DawgDaze71 said:Petersen's offense doesn't really feature the TE that much so I'm not sure that losing ASJ is going to be that much of an impact. The return of a healthy Williams may do the trick. It hasn't really donned on everyone but the offense is going to look very different. We're not going to see a team that relies on the TB to carry the ball 35 times a game like Sankey did for us. The QB that wins the starting position is going to be the guy that is accurate ..can sling the ball around a lot yet still get the TB off. A kid like Lavon Coleman should do well since he's a bruiser with speed.

I think the opposite would happen. It would shape the team and make the rest of the 80+ scholarship players that much more stronger.sarktastic said:

I expect some players doogs believe should be All-Americans based on their star value and press clippings, to get cut within the next 7 months as Peterman changes the culture, causing us to lose a game or two we probably should win.
They would realize play time is over and it's time to start treating like this a fucking job. -
When you shed talent, until you replace that talent, it's going to be tough to compete for a Pac North Championship... just like every other team that replaces a low performing coach.

Yeah....see how well the team played in the bowl game? BYU was the 2nd best bowl opponent (according to the metrics) for the pac-12.He_Needs_More_Time said:

Let's hope they have that mindset for the 2014 season. -
I hate Sark and he did underachieve, but going 9-4 with all 4 losses to top 25 teams is not really low performing. The talent is there, but the team underachieved. Of course, it will be hard to win a Pac North Championship. It's always going to be hard, but we should compete for it right away. Oregon hasn't won the North 2 years in a row despite being a top 10 year.sarktastic said:When you shed talent, until you replace that talent, it's going to be tough to compete for a Pac North Championship... just like every other team that replaces a low performing coach.
Not that we are Ohio State, but Urban Meyer came in after a 6-6 season and went 12-0. Ohio State had talent. UW has talent. Now, we have the coach that can hopefully maximize the talent as take us to the next level. It's not rare for teams to get better after hiring a new coach. UCLA got much better going from Rick to Mora.

So you look at this schedule and see 8-5, because Peterson needs to change the culture?sarktastic said:

No. He never sacked up and told us how many wins and losses we're supposed to have with our "middling" talent.Global said:
