All 22 Eason/Offense Breakdown
https://youtu.be/PbBW-r3xVSsFormer NFL guy JT O'Sullivan has a pretty good YouTube channel and he's breaking down every pass against Oregon here. Long video and a lot of in depth scheme stuff, but some pretty interesting info. Highlights a lot of misses by Eason but also questions a lot of the design of our offense. Mentions all the shifts and motions making life difficult for QBs.

My biggest takeaway is that nobody was on the same page. I've only watched a couple of his breakdowns, but this was by far the most negative. A few good playcalls gone to waste because Eason inexplicably throws a checkdown passing up on a "walk in touchdown," as O'Sullivan calls em. Then the flip side with a handful of plays that he hates by design, weird protections, confusing shifts, even mentions how dumb going wildcat on third downs was. Also a few WRs screwing up routes and blowing up plays (Puka was a notable one.)
Obviously it's just one game, but that all sounds about right. Distrust on both sides. Bush and Pete frustrated because Eason can't/won't work through his reads and makes them look worse than they are. Eason pissed off because of poor scheme. Result was a disjointed offense that fell apart as games went on and they hit any adversity. -
I'm halfway through this and it is pretty damning. It will make posters shake and on the verge of vomiting when they see the multiple missed easy touchdowns against Oregon. I'm not sure whether to place blame on Eason or the coaches, but my inclination is to blame Eason 30% and the coaches 70%.
Eason's success in the NFL will depend on him being coachable. -

I used to love rewatching entire Husky games, now even watching clips I react like Uma’s character in “Kill Bill” when she sees someone who betrayed her.

This was a great watch. Really depressing, but well broken down. It appears that there was plenty of blame to go around for our offensive ineptitude.
-
That was really interesting and had some good non-QB takeaways as well.
- Ahmed was a horrible blocker
- Bynum is probably going to be quite good
- Nacua needs to keep learning the playbook
- Bacellia actually did beat someone deep in his career (but didn't get thrown to), however he still sucks
This also further confirmed that Pete & Bush neutered Eason's greatest strength. I have to believe that Eason threw so many check downs because the coaches told him to protect the ball, and thus he was getting through his reads too quickly and not looking for the deep ball. Not throwing deep allowed Oregon to play a lot more cloud coverage close to the line, taking away our crossing routes and slants. This was so frustrating to re-watch. -
Also noticed he tends to get manhandled a bit. For a guy of his build, he needs to be a bit tougher on cornerbacks.Woof said:That was really interesting and had some good non-QB takeaways as well.

Yep. It was a small set plays, but he seemed to either run the wrong route, get manhandled/bumped off his route, or make a huge play.huskyhooligan said:

It's a great video. I put 50% on Eason, 50% on staff. Bottom line he has the ball in his hand every play. There are some QBs who would hit those passes. He should be that guy, but he's not.Woof said:That was really interesting and had some good non-QB takeaways as well.

It's a stupid offense though. He didn't throw to Baccellia on the deep pass because he was sick of throwing to Baccellia. Total dysfunction. -
He's not qualified. I looked up his bio and he's never been the assistant to the RB coach at any level.whatshouldicareabout said:

This was good to watch and depressing at the same time.
I’d also like to take this moment to ESPN and all the other sports networks to do more All 22 games. Fuck the stupid shit they’re constantly showing us. -

Can't bring myself to watch this. It just doesn't matter. I expect Husky football teams to under-perform year in and year out. They'll blow a couple of stupid games a year by sleep-walking through said games and not caring enough to gut out wins. The offense will be shit as fuck under OC ______ and QB ______. Insert any name in those blank spots. It just doesn't fucking matter. We? will continue running some watered-down offensive scheme that sucks ass and fizzles. Many more drive-killing plays in our? future.
Fuck this shitshow of a football team. -
Was not expecting the video to leave me in a state of deep, seething anger. A bit of an existential crisis. My first memory of anything is UW winning the national championship in January of 1992. I got a taste and will never taste it again lol

Biggest takeaway - Damone was right. Some saw it earlier than tge Oregon game.

The entire first half of the season we were losing our minds that Puka wasn’t playing, and Pete kept saying once guys know the playbook they’ll play.Woof said:

Seems he was telling the truth that Puka didn’t know what he was doing yet.
Which is why he shouldn’t have had such a dumb fuck offensive scheme that makes one of the few positions that should be able to play right away impossible to learn. Give the kid simple routes and let him go destroy DBs.
For fuck’s sake man. -
You would want to scratch ESPN off that list, unless you want it presented by some fucking SJW or clueless chick bantering on about how she’s “been there.” Throw in some girl power bullshit and Tom Linardi’s “personal interest takes,” and it would unrecognizable.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:This was good to watch and depressing at the same time.

It became a tiresome trope by fans throughout the season, but the offense really was too complicated. I can't pretend to know what the typical college route tree and adjustments are, but I doubt most programs are asking freshman WRs to auto-convert routes based on the look they get at the line.
I get how it 'makes sense' on paper, but shit man they're 18 years old. I could see if it was some simple adjustments, like curl if he's in off coverage, go if he's pressed up. But when you combine stuff like that with pre-snap shifts literally every play, and out of a chapter book level of formations, what are we doing here? Starting and ending up in the right place would be a victory in itself for these kids, going and actually making a play would be going above and beyond. When so much of your focus is on everything BUT balling out and beating your man? It's no wonder the whole thing was fucked.
It reminds me of my freshman year playing (community) college baseball. Our sign system for pitches was, catcher puts down 3 signs. Add the first two up, that's your pitch (5+ is FB, 2 is breaking ball, 3 is change up,) and the third sign was location. Granted, it was a CC, so I played with a lot of dumb fucks, but the idea is the same... So many guys were more concerned about making sure they had the correct sign than they were attacking the hitter. It didn't go well. Luckily I'm decent at addition so I picked it up quickly. Then, of course, I started our first night game where we used night signs, which was the same system but taps... Taps to the helmet counted as one, and some various other places were higher numbers. S/O Yakima for figuring out, halfway through the bottom of the first, that every time our catcher tapped his helmet twice in a row it was a curve ball. No trash cans needed. -
Yep, and Eason is forcing the ball to Pakua mainly because he's glad to have a playmaker on the field even though Puka may fuck up the play.
And with Baccellia, Eason just had no trust level, he's not likely to wait for him to break open on a double move when he can check down to someone he likes better.
Perfect mix of stupid offense, crappy wrs, and qb weaknesses. -
All the shifts and motions did was confuse our receivers and TE’s with so much ore anal information that it bogged them down.
You can’t expect a guy like Puka that had been on campus for three months to have that shit down and then play at top speed. He should have just been kept in one or two spots, had 5-10 routes to run and let him make a couple plays a game. It wasn’t fair to expect him to learn all that bullshit, know his assignments, and be able to adjust on the fly. Absolutely idiotic. -
IMO this guy is thinking like a NFL guy...
UW isnt asking its WRs to run option routes... They are just poorly designed college plays that in the NFL would typically have option routes...
If the offense was relying on its WRs running complex option routes there would have been a lot more "miscommunications" where Eason throws the deep fade/go while the WR runs curl and visa-versa. Which did not happen at all this year...
Even in his own video he points out UW running slant/spacing routes against CBs with specific leverage to stop that play... If UW was running leverage/option routes the defenses wouldnt be playing with that leverage and the play with a slant route against inside leverage wouldnt occur because it would be converted into outside go/out release before the snap.
On that specific play with 2 UW WRs in the same place that he focused on its much more likely Puka just straight up ran the wrong route or pivoted incorrectly inside. Not that he had some complex option route.
100% the excessive motions and shifts were excessive and wasnt even effective at getting guys like Ahmed, Byrant, or Otton into mismatches. -
The motions weren’t quite as bad on running plays because the TE’s shifting and motioning gets the defense moving and having to change calls.Houhusky said:IMO this guy is thinking like a NFL guy...

The problem with all of it was that DC’s were aware it was just window dressing. The other obvious Pete shit was bringing in certain guys for only specific plays. When Chin was in, it was either a run or play action deep. When Braxton or Pleasant came in, it was wildcat. I only watch the games once and knew all of this the second I saw certain packages. Imagine how easy it was to defend when you watch games of film like a DC does.
