Attention to Detail

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but how many times has Eason seen the play clock winding down and had to point and wave his arms like a wild man to get the sideline's attention? I can recall it happening specifically at home against Oregon and USC where there is no excuse to not get the play in and I think it happened at least one other time. This is just one example where this team looks disorganized on game day. If I have to hear Pete talk about needing to see more detail from this or that talented player I'm gonna puke. Take a look in the mirror and realize you aren't that detailed or your definition of detail needs a fucking overhaul.

    Like I said, let Eason play pitch and catch, call his own damn plays.

    This team is suffering a premature death by a thousand details.

    How about instead of making everything so fucking complicated and detailed Pete, you focus on doing about 30 plays well. Then use your talented roster to bludgeon weaker shit rosters into submission.

    Fucking christ. If Pete was born with an 8 inch dick, he'd cut it off and surgically attach a 4 inch one for the increased level of strategic mating difficulty.

    It's hard!

    Or how about not get overly conservative with a 14 pt lead on offense? That would be nice

    I used to get all hot and bothered by that mental picture...


    ...but no more.
    DM me if you want a real picture instead of a mental one.

    Unfortunately I don't look like Pete though

    Yep. Good post. Rumored when Chip was at Oregon there were 4 or 5 basic plays with some variations on each. Seemed to have no trouble moving the ball.
    For sure. WSU does the same thing with the Air Raid.

    Say what you want about Leach and the Apple Cup. He has ran a train on most of the Pac with a bunch of 2.5 stars. Does better vs Shaw than Pete, 4 in a row vs Oregon. Lets fucking hope they make it 5

    Remember the two min offense with Cyler Miles. I know Miles sucked, but he wasn’t even getting calls. It was a giant mess. It got written off because of Miles, but it’s still a problem.

    And another thing: UW has the cash, they need to hire analysts to memorize the rules and pour over the playbook for problems and create Tableau data visualizations to illustrate to Pete’s stubborn ass which plays work and which don’t while accounting for opponent strength and available personnel. I mean shit, there’s an army of incels basically doing that for UW on Twitter already.

    Very good point. There are no reasons not to do these things. “The chart” that Pete has doesn’t work.

    Husky lore about the 2000- team is that in 1999 after opening with two losses the Woodenville guys, Tui and Coniff, went to Rick and showed him on a napkin how they ran the option

    All of a sudden the offensive genius Rick scrapped his offense and went to the option.

    Ground and fucking pound with about 5 plays. When they did throw it was wide open

    Not saying we need the option, just agreeing that simple is better.

    Lombardi drew up the sweep on a chalkboard and showed the whole league how they ran it, Still couldn't stop it

    If you're going to hang your hat on execution then execute half the play book

    Back when I was in HS, state juggernaut South Kitsap ran 4 plays. Total. Off tackle, toss sweep, play action pass with intermediate routes and a fullback dive—their favorite audible. They were an open book and never changed their audible signals (“Cat” was the dive audible)

    Even though we knew what was coming, we couldn’t stop it. That was a mindfuck all in itself

    South Kitsap used to be a football power? Weird. Port Orchard isnt exactly churning much out these days

    I like the option. And the I formation. And halfback screens. I like that. Personal preference I guess.

    Caple drives this home in his article about the Wildcat over the years at UW. Wild Swede =/= Gascat =/= Wild Dick =/= Wild Pleasant. None of those players are interchangeable.

    Apparently the Wildcat worked against Georgia State so now it’s etched in the stone chart for all eternity.

    They were really good. They should be good. They used to be the school with the most students of any 4A high school. They still might be, but they used to too.

    When I read Roadie's post, I was immediately thinking "who was that big-time player who came from there?" Couldn't remember. Then I looked down to the next post and saw your reference.
