    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.

    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.
    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.
