    So your rising seniors graded out worse than Tuli did as a freshman?

    I can see why you’re so optimistic.

    It's 1) depth 2) rising stars and 3) scheme continuity.

    As far as JTT goes, I see a scheme that will highlight his athleticism at Oregon. They're going to sell him on the iron sharpens iron concept and that Thibideaux's mercurial rise was in large part going against an Outland trophy winner. We'll see.

    The facts still remains the same. Their entire two deep on the interior is really young. The class distribution is terrible. There is no returning star. A 76 PFF score really doesn’t mean Tuli will be exceptional. Both our seniors DT graded higher at that age. There’s no depth.

    Oregon’s DTs will take a big leap forward. They went from a static 2 gap scheme to a one gap scheme with a lot stemming. They will be the biggest benefactor from year two. Likewise, players like Dorlus and Aumavae really started jumping gaps and penetrating late in the season.

    Interior DL isn’t a problem at UW. Bronson is a late round/free agent type guy. He’s not horrible. He’s 5 years older than the highly touted young guys. If all the guys that redshirted last year don’t do anything, you might have a point.

    Just for fun, I went and read the first page of this thread. 2 years ago everyone was convinced JTT was headed to Stanford

    I don’t think interior DL is a problem for UW. I took issue with the idea that it’s loads better than Oregon.

    I also like the direction Oregon is going with interior DL. It’s long fast twitched athletes. They are getting 2-4 a cycle and see what’s sticks. I see like 7 total for UW on the roster and Oregon sits at like 10.

    It will be interesting going forward.

    Oregon is the better spot for him because he would have Flowe and Sewell behind him and edge players that are sack machines. You’re overthinking this.

    Also, I am sure he loves the redshirting plan and we don’t trust freshman philosophy. Herbert, Sewell and in 2021 Thibodeaux will all be top 10 picks while never redshirting. Cristobal will show the blueprint for graduating in 3 and off to the NFL as a top 10 pick.

    Bandes and Tuitelle redshirted and both were top 5 DL, so JTT redshirting could happen. Maybe with the new staff that will change.

    It would be totally against the grain. Of all the DL in 2019 between the two programs, it was Dorlus that didn’t redshirt. Now there’s talk of Jaylen Smith not redshirting. Also, while the DL got their shit pushed in late in games last year, they couldn’t figure out a way to rotate in a Bandes, Tuitele or Ngalu?

    Bandes and Tuitele are really good. JTT is absolutely elite.

    Also, there's a new HC.

    JTT is not redshirting at UW.
    Has Lake shown you anything so far that he a departure from Pete?
  • lawsandllawsandl Member Posts: 1,555

    JTT is a prime example of there being no need to redshirt because he’s probably playing 3 years and at most 4 before he’s off to the NFL. I don’t know how you even came up with this argument.
    There’s a culture of that at Oregon. If you’re good enough to contribute than you contribute.
