    Glad you brought up Greg Ducre. Another player who has gotten worse the longer he has stayed here. Was a part time starter in 2011 and hardly played this past season.

    Trufant really hid our deficiencies I felt. Like you guys pointed out UW got no pass rush but due to Trufant, Shaq and Parker it wasn't as noticeable as you'd expect. Playing a slue of crappy QB's really helped our defense looked better than it actually was.

    Beatmychest going off saying shit a lot when the boise state QB ran for a first down against us in the bowl game was an added improvement. More swearing in fan podcasts always help the product.

    Our special teams has been the most disappointing thing for me in the Sark era. Offense has shown flashes of greatness and flashes of being terrible. Same with the defense.

    As for special teams it has been terrible and at best average. When was the last time UW had a punt return go for a TD? Last kick off return for a TD? Last blocked punt for a TD? Had a great game punting where we nailed every punt?

    I honestly can't remember any of those. Like you guys stated special teams to me is a sign if a coach pays attention to the details. Sark obviously doesn't.

    Strong special teams is the mark of a team that has discipline and takes care of the little things. It's cliché, but true. Sark teams have had terrible special teams, and they are far from disciplined. The worst part is, I heard Sark say on the Coaches Show last year that the special teams have been pretty good under his watch. It's pathetic that the media didn't call him out on the spot for saying stupid shit like that. It seems like nobody but a few hardcore fans are even paying any attention to what it actually happening on the field.

    Where is my shout out at?

    As always need more drunken swearing and more proclaiming that the season is over.

    There's a need more time shout out when talking about Bob Simmons and the special teams.


    I usually always give it a listen but saw this one was so long you guys had to do two parts. I'll give it a listen probably tomorrow.
    Brian Kelly thinks you should give it a listen.

    Good stuff.

    You guys spent the same amount of the time on the Oline as Sark.

    As for the Dline, Hudson was the least of our problems. It was the opposite end that was so inconsistent, especially Shirley. And we got very little from the guys in the middle outside of Shelton occasionally showing some flashes.

    150% agree on the S/T.

    Thanks guys!!!
