Any of the dline

I thought this was called the Tani Tupou "Why is he still on the...Holy Crap!" Award
-
Wide Receiver
-
Exactly. I forgot about that but yes, calling shots on who wins that award now. For the team's W-L sake, I'm hoping it's Sirmon.whatshouldicareabout said:I thought this was called the Tani Tupou "Why is he still on the...Holy Crap!" Award

I hope Ngalu gets a shot to prove what he can do in the week one scrimmage. He looks more disruptive than any of the other DTs.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Any of the dline

Draco Malfoy, or whatever his fucking name is
-
I think Sirmon has to be the pick. Nobody else really fits that I can think of, and he needs to be good.
-
If we are going with a veteran, either Alex Cook or Julius Irvin seem like decent choices. Cook came out of nowhere to start last year. Irvin has been injured, buried in the depth, and was absolutely fucking terrible against Arizona last year.
My hot take is that Cooper McDonald and Trice are equal or better than Smalls. Practice reports mean nothing, but they get mentioned playing alongside Bowman more than Smalls does. All three should be good players at some point. We need them to be good now. -
Sirmon or Cam Williams
-
Devin Culp - I think he's got a chance to be a big mismatch in the pass game.
-
Culp is a pretty good pick. Seems we've been waiting for him for years now and many were on the verge of writing him off. Those are the two criteria...enough time in the program for there to have been expectations, and a general sense that he has failed to meet them. Culp really hasn't had that many opportunities but he's had some notable blown chances.BroadcastingDawg said:Devin Culp - I think he's got a chance to be a big mismatch in the pass game.

I don’t think Culp will get enough opportunity this year. Otton is obviously TE #1. Westover is the H-Back, 2nd TE. After that Culp, Redman, and Moore are battling for the leftover scraps. Pretty talented group there.
I would wager Culp does next to nothing before he makes an impact on winning games. He has to be markedly better than multiple guys to even get on the field enough to make plays.
-
I'm gonna go with DyMo.
-
Jordan Chin.

He'll get in there and get some looks. He just needs to make the plays that come his way. You're probably right that there's a slim chance he gets enough looks to make a big impact though.RoadDawg55 said:I don’t think Culp will get enough opportunity this year. Otton is obviously TE #1.

Chico McClutchons.
Or Center. -
Ty Jones

I'll go with Irvin, too; he's entering his 4th year at UW and has 2 career tackles.RoadDawg55 said:If we are going with a veteran, either Alex Cook or Julius Irvin seem like decent choices.

Looking at the past, these awards always went to upperclassmen who did nothing for most of their career but came out of nowhere. Andrew Hudson, Tani Tupou, Damion Turpin, Zeke Turner, and Jared Hilbers come to mind. -
Culp is still dropping passes
-
PGOS
-
Hampton starts by 3rd game sending ASA to Montana State. Second team All PAC 12
-
I would love to see Irvin have an impact. Kid has had bad luck his whole UW career. Looked like a real baller in HS and comes from good stock
-
Irvin getting torched by Garbage Time Gunnell last year reminded me of Budda and SMFJ against EWU in 2014. I like the pick.whatshouldicareabout said:
