Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Goal line

It's the backs not the OL. This is atrocious by Taulpapa how do you not score here?

    Pass pro?

    Run blocking?

    That's exactly what I saw, he gets low and dives in it's a TD no question.

    The line isn't fantastic in this situation, but Papa fucked up.

    He is really slow to the hole and doesn't hit it with any purpose.

    Someone pointed out that the blocking failures were primarily on the straight ahead runs down there. The OL did, and does, much better on the perimeter.

    I saw creases that looked like automatic touchdowns open up on at least three run plays and the RBs blew them. Penix also could have punched in that run option play if Fataunu had sealed his man a little better or if Penix had the quicks to dodge him. The dude blew up the play by squeezing just far enough inside his block to reach an arm in and slow Penix before he could get outside the tackle.

    wait it's harder to run when there's more people at the LOS? weird

    Pass pro? definitely.

    run blocking? they're average to above average.

    Our running backs aren't great. Cam Davis could be good if he didn't trip over his dick all the time.

    By far the best goal line back on the team. Agreed.

    It's genrally risky to run outside if the ol is allowing the ends any penetration. It's been a long time since I've seen a UW OL so efficient at sealing and preventing disruptive plays off the edge I'd speculate that the staff was still learning what it has with this OL, but will have a better plan inside the five in the future. They definitely need to stick with the spread.

    No sacks

    11.5% pressure rate against two legit pass rushers in bogle/windmon on 43 dropbacks. Very good.

    They're big and athletic. Run from spread formations and get people out of the box. They'll be able to seal edges/linebackers. Huff has done a good job recruiting.

    Is this the play where he dropped it at the 1?

    I believe the call there is supposed to be God's Play, followed up by God's Play, then another God's Play, and finally God's Play.

    God has a new playbook. He’s gone to the spread and likes a run-pass option on at least two attempts.

    The shitty OL goal line blocking wasn't isolated to just that one MSU stand... MSU defenders were regularly pushing UWs OL off the LOS into their own backfield on all the goal line situations... From two other drives...

    I'm pretty sure the coaches are going to sow this film and Papa and tell him "this is reason you're here" He should have scored, especially when he was on one with the Spartan secondary. Newton scores on that play.

    It's a zone crack toss with baini pulling, they're just supposed seal off their man. Westover getting raped kills the angle and the play.

    Papa made a sweet TD catch. That's his talent. He should never get the ball in the backfield.

    That was one that I thought should've been housed in real time. I see now there wasn't much chance.

    He scores if he doesn't have to widen due to Westover getting bitched. I believe this was after Culp came off. Culp seals that for 6.

    If the left guard had made a stronger block that would've been one less guy coming across and taking away the cutback lane. He just patticaked his guy, not driving him back at all or even making him alter his footwork.

    Yeah he's got to seal and get his hips towards the sideline. It wasn't power we weren't trying to blow them off the ball, rather just positionally block them.

    I remembered in real time thinking Westy struggled on those goal line series. Wonder if they make an adjustment in goal lines and get a sixth OL in or a Dlineman to add more power.

    You guys realize that Westover got blown up on that block because he had to try to block two guys because McMillen didnt crack block the correct edge DB (#12) and instead incorrectly jumped into the second level to block the Safety that had already taken himself out of the play?

    I see your point, but was he supposed to take him or #8?
