    So the players are working out harder than ever this offseason?

    New scheme new attitude.
    Every player has spoken out about the difference between Ivan and Socha.

    I didn't really remember all of Dwayne Washington's run this past season, but then I found a short highlight reel of his. I think he has immense talent and by the time PAC12 play comes around he will be the guy getting the bulk of the carries.

    I worry about the stiff hips though.

    Bench press is probably useful for an OL in terms of run-blocking, but you need good pad level, feet shoulder width apart and great hips in order to utilize that strength in a positive manner. If you're too high, feet too far apart and your hips aren't fabulous, then you're gonna get bowled over and the defense is gonna get a TFL. Pass-blocking doesn't require strength as much as run-blocking and is more about keeping a defender in a certain space rather than moving the defender out of the way.

    As for RB, I'm guessing it'll be 1a) Cooper 1b) Washington 3) Coleman and then Callier for fly-sweeps and catching passes out of the backfield. Kinne might get some garbage time against Hawaii, Georgia State, Colorado and Cal and Dotson will RS.

    But how is their snatch? Lol!1
    Can they jerk more than snatch? What about clean? Does that come later?

    These official* numbers seem to illustrate that Brostek could lift my car, and Ross is as fast as Deion.

    In other news, I can hear some Euro's banging in the room next to mine.

    BRB, JO

    Which only goes to prove Sark left the cupboards stocked and if Peterman can't win the Pac-12 in his first year, he reeeeeeeally doesn't belong at this level.

    disagree @sarktastic per the Sark playbook, if he doesn't win it means he simply needs to crisp some things up.

    Guys Petersen needs more time. Can't expect a coach to win until year six. Not to mention 0-12 was just 6 years ago. Nobody knows the damage that Sark had done.
