Coach Pete had a clear vision for the program that he communicated regularly. He invested time and effort into creating a team identity and culture. Maybe in part it's because he was already a proven winning coach, but I never really felt much doubt about the program or its direction while he was at the helm. I felt like the messaging was clear and consistent, and actually reached the fans.
I feel like Coach Lake hasn't communicated his vision consistently. He may have one, but I don't really remember what it is. What is the team's identity? Where are the hype videos that show the members of the team excited to be where they are and ready for the next season? I know I've seen one or two in the past year, but nothing near as consistent. The culture of the team seems to be in jeopardy as well, considering all the departures. With this uncertainty, has Coach Lake made a concerted effort to reassure Husky Nation? If so, I haven't seen it.
Maybe my unease comes just from Coach Lake not having a head coaching record I can look back on and say "He has a clear system and results, I just gotta trust the process." But then again, Coach Pete communicated the process. Messaging from Coach Lake has not been nearly so clear.
I'm not ready to call it a dumpster fire yet. I'd like to see a full season, as I've mentioned before. But those embers are growing a bit brighter in light of this news... -

I hate fans that pretend like WR blocking is really important. It is important to an extent, but it’s coach speak. Nobody talked about WR blocking when Ross and Pettis were on the team. Both of them are soft and I doubt they were great at blocking.dnc said:

So why then did you downvote another posters comment on not getting the rock if you can’t block. Kinda feels like his comment and yours go hand and hand.dnc said:

This has shit to do with whether a receiver can block. -
If you don't think Saban cares about every facet of the game including WR blocking, well then, you are justdtd said:
Nick fucking Saban DGAF if Jerry Jeudy or Calvin Ridley or DeVonte Smith or Amari Cooper or Henry Ruggs could block.

It certainly isn't rainbows and unicorns right now, but I'm giving Jimmy a full season on the field to see what we're made of.Swaye said:

It is more nuanced. Sure Ty had some nice blocks, but he could also be a bit of a pussy when it came to fighting for close balls.dnc said:

A starting WR at UW needs to excel at both -- not just one or the other. -
No they don’t. We need a playmaker on the outside that is consistently making big plays a lot more than even the best blocking WR of all time.HairyBallsDawg said:

This. WR's are more of a help to the running game by being a threat to take the top off of the defense. Make the DB's play 10 yards off. They're not out there to seal the edge.RoadDawg55 said:

WR blocking is a sign of whether or not a player is willing to do their job regardless of what the job is ... can they put the team over themselves
You never recruit a WR because of their blocking ...
But you do pay attention to their effort in the space
