Once again could not stop a running offense that went right at him. why don't you give up the defense back to kawasaki. clearly he is a better DC. fucking pathetic that you could not get off the field on the third downs. all you doogs like @dnc need stfu of they only giving up 20 points or so. get fucked

    James is not good in game if things aren't working

    Experience required I guess

    Not sure what we are paying Petersen for

    Is this the same Jimmy that's walked on water around here lately?

    I said after Stanford 2017 that giving Jimmy playcalling was a mistake

    If you don't run the air raid he seems lost
    I'm giving you shit because I haven't seen a collective man crush on a coach like the one that was displayed here for Lake in some time.

    Virtually any questioning of him would start a 20 page thread.

    Hes a great recruiter and his defensive backs are legit

    Just not sure the price to keep him is worth taking Kwat off the gameday calls

    There's a lot to like about Jimmy

    If you dare criticize Jimmy Lake, you won't last long.

    What's most astonishing is how bad we've been at defending screens. We used to have linebackers with speed who could close sideline to sideline. Our corners were adept at shedding blocks and winning one-on-one battles. We played our safeties within 20 yards of the LOS so they could actually defend in the flat. Now we do literally none of those things despite having the personnel to do 2/3 of them (linebackers lol). It's hard to know who's primarily responsible for this regression, but I have to assume Jimmy.

    The LBs are fucking terrible. Manu tackles like he's trying to knock a candy bar off the circular wire in a vending machine. A bunch of guys on the defense do.

    When he was pushing his own player in the back, late in the game, standing straight up, not getting low like he wanted to tackle anyone, I saw a player with no natural instinct, talent, or brains.

    Manu really is garbage.

    They let that faggot with pink gloves gloat and run for a career high. It was hard to watch. This team regressed five fucking years.

    Thing is this: If we had receivers who could get open and catch a ball, maybe the D isn't exhausted by being on the field for 45 minutes. It all goes back to the shitty, unproductive offense in my mind. Yes, our LBs are liquid shit, but our WRs are fucking cancer.

    We gave up three straight scoring drives and 200+ yards to start the game. Our WRs being shit is unrelated to our defense being simultaneously their own brand of shit.

    Jimmy is good. But his defense scheme is a goldilocks scheme. It's great for underperforming teams but the minute it faces a physical team it collapses. I watched Penn St play a week ago. That's a good team...aggressive defense. Linebackers that play with controlled anger. I think they win out until Ohio State.

    Im just not a fan of the "bend but don't break" defense philosophy. Often these defenses break when they meet good competition. I think the reason you recruit good DB is to put them on an island and know the statistical odds should be in your favor. This team has routinely gone in big games and crapped the bed.

    This. Good post

    Time of possession matters. Sustaining drives matters.

    Not saying the UW isn't porous as fuck. Saying that as bad as the D was, the O was even worse, and the largest reason for the loss.

    Swap out the shit receivers and you've got a different ballgame.

    Yeah but what if he leaves

    How do you expect to keep pulling in these sick LBs and WRs without him

    The thing I've finally started to realize about this team is I hate watching them even when they win. A soft, bend-but-don't-break defense with no ability to rush the QB. An offense obsessed with bubble screens and unnecessary pre-snap motion. Emotionless, robot-players who seem muted by the coaches and overwhelmed by the size of the playbook. Its fucking awful. It's just not any fun to watch... and never will be as long as Pete is here. Pete has made watching husky football, win or lose, a miserable experience.

    Yep. This team is miserable to watch. Not entertaining even in victory. The offense last year made me hate this team and this sport. And nothing has changed. They are the worst thing on TV every week.

    This.

    You guys realize Kwat is still the one in the booth, right?

    The defense was bad last night. It was still good enough to win. The offense is the biggest issue rather easily.

    Oh and @FirePete is a retard.

    Larger. Rinse. Repeat.

    Huge disagree. The defense was the biggest issue last night and it's a personnel deficiency that can't be fixed. The offense, as horrid as its been, still has the pieces to be really good if Bush/Hamdan get their heads out of their asses.

    Stanford put up nearly 500 yards on us. A shitty Stanford offense with a backup QB and nearly their entire OL missing. They absolutely dominated us, ran and threw at will, and completely controlled the tempo of the game. They doubled our time of possession because our defense couldn't do shit to get them off the field. The 23 points on the scoreboard don't even come close to capturing how thoroughly our defense was toyed with. And unless Sirmon or Tafisi grow up in a hurry, this is just the beginning. We've only faced Cal and two conference opponents missing their starting QBs. Actual offenses are going to fucking feast on us.
