Hugh on with Softy yesterday after 2nd practice

The margin for error with a run heavy offense with a straight pocket passer is low. Fewer options and easier to defend

I used to prefer my QBs be tall and operate in the pocket and rarely run.Baseman said:The margin for error with a run heavy offense with a straight pocket passer is low. Fewer options and easier to defend
The game has changed. I prefer different guys now.

Morris seemed exceptionally mobile in the pocket last year. Hugh is obviously high on petty bitterness.

NOGAF what Millen thinks. At least they shouldn't.

I guess we're in nearly year 10 of getting this same practice reporter and hoping it just means the defense is elite and the offense is at least average. Small and questionable sample size, but I was very impressed with how well Morris operated in the pocket last year, avoided pressure, and got yards with his feet when he needed to, including against Utah, which was about as good of a defense as you could find in the Pac-12 last year.

Kinda weird UW's last team to win a Rosebowl included a dual threat QB paired with a great defense

Also confirmed how dominant the defense today was. A couple of troubling things I heard from him in his analysis.
In listening to his breakdown of the qb's (all 3) as of right now I think he believes their overall games are all jag's at best. Obviously not fair to Huard, but both him and Cam Cleeland have major concerns about any of the 3's ability to avoid pressure and extend plays which I 1000% agree with. It's those 3 +/- empty possessions a game that keeps your team scoring in the low/mid 20's which puts a ceiling on what you can do unless you make up for it (++ results) in other areas like turnovers.
Then in his breakdown of the wr's I got the impression as a group that so far what he's seen is not even at the qb's level. Saying they get no separation, no yac, not explosive, too many possession type guys, etc.
Also said the defense was and should be ahead of the offense, and defense was bringing blitzes which on day 2 might be a little unusual, and we all get how good Mcduffie is at cb, but he seems underwhelmed with the wr group right now.
If you heard the interview, anyone else pick up on anything both good or bad?
-
Huard hasn't even practiced with shoulder pads on yet, and Donovan hasn't fully installed his offense.

Nothing like having the flagship station for UW shitting on the progrum

I'm feeling pretty good about our QBs learning to handle pressure now that we have a defense that can put them under pressure in practice.
