    we only have to put up with this kind of thread till the end of August.

    I started to read it then figured it was written by someone who lives in his two dads basement. TLDR until August 1st

    Curn will be in the mix too. He split tim with with Bowman at RT and looked pretty solid I thought.

    Offense:




    Mele really emerged as a viable option at center in times that Harris went down. While most people were fans of Harris, it's undeniable that sometimes his lack of size was a liability and he had times where he struggled in pass pro against stronger defenders. He was always a great puller in the run game, and that's def an attribute we'll miss... but Mele goes 6'5 315 lbs... that difference in reach is huge and Mele is a real talent. It was clear Adams lost a step this season and he even admitted his body will never be the same following all the injuries he suffered... I think there's a chance we see a young-buck start at left tackle just like Tre did 5 years ago: Nate Kalepo, Julius Buelow and Roger Rosengarten could all vie for starting roles at the LT and RT for the Dawgs again, like Tre and McGary did as youngsters. I also see MJ Ale in that mix as well. Kirkland, Wattenberg and Bainivalu will all be back at the guard position, hopefully acting as the glue that helps hold things together for the young guys.

    Nothing says 2 dads and basement like some asshole who wishes the Huskies are out of it by August 1st.

    The fuck is wrong with you?

    Dick Newton "lacks the wiggle" to be a starter... yeah he just mauls fuckers on a team that wants a physical RB. Cam Davis is not going to be starting over or getting more carries than Newton next year.

    Dick Newton reminds me of Pat Conniff
    Did you just compare a black guy and a white guy?

    Your post was fine, but I stopped reading at Newton is a more athletic Chris Polk.

    Um...no. You guys stroking yourselves over him should rein it in a bit. Hes not a feature back. He's a good platoon guy with average size, better than average strength at size, and below average speed.

    Polk had high 4.4 to low 4.5 speed at 220 lbs and was as capable and accomplished as a receiver as the guys playing receiver on those teams. He was also harder to tackle than Newton.

    I get huffy about disrespect for Polk and Sankey. Fucking recency bias.

    Not comparing him to Sankey... not at all. Different players.

    I do think he and Polk are similar though.

    And I'm not sure how you can discount someone's abilities until they get feature back carries, especially as a freshman. I saw Newton hit some really nice runs to the second level yesterday when he was given the reps.

    Quit pretending that Kalepo will vie for a starting job. He won’t and never will.

    You're saying that, why?
