Is this a DM copypastaTheHB said:Careful with all the negativity toward the coaching about the defense. Some panties are bound to be bunched around here from such talk.

Do we? Think this is the 9th place secondary in talent in the conference?DoogieMcDoogerson said:
The 2008 Huskies Secondary has entered the chat.AtomicDawg said:The defensive staff has a teaching problem I think. At least in the secondary. Bad tackling, horrible angles, bad coverage, face guarding and getting juked, giving up the inside with zero help. I don’t understand the rotation either.
This is probably the worst I remember our secondary playing over the past 30 years. We should be experts on shit football by now enough to trust what we see.
That said, the last several years we've had 2,3 or 4 guys playing in the secondary that ultimately make it to the NFL. We don't have any guys in our secondary playing in games right now that are going to the NFL. This is a recruiting problem...when did we stop recruiting DBs and Safeties? Quite a while ago.
3 safeties recruited in '22 - all 3 *s
21 class has corners and safeties but they appear to be largely whiffs. Maybe Banks will become a contributor.
20 class had Covington
19 had McDuffie, KamFab, Cam Williams
Some of the '18 guys are still here I think but recruiting for the secondary has been a weak point for some time.
I see 3, maybe 4 guys verbally commited for the secondary in the 2023 class. Gonna need some transfers.
The pass rush has been decent to good(not great) and is definitely better than middle of the conference.
Even IF the talent isn't top flight this coaching staff is getting less with less.
There's an argument for "shoot outs rack up yards" and all.
BUT Still...12th place passing defense... -
Good for Tripper. Looks like he reps Pete Alonso. Who's his Cy Young winner client?DoogieMcDoogerson said:Tripper Johnson is now a baseball agent:

Yes the game has changed and offense is king but you still need stops when you need them and you still need a yard when you need it unless you want to be a high scoring mediocre ball club

I’m largely in the camp that Jimmy Lake was more hell bent on leveraging Saban “interest” and anything else he could to advance himself, and never got better as a coach. As the initial wave of recruits largely succeeded Jimmy pivoted to big timing recruits instead of doing what every coach hates doing, but does anyways, and bows down to the kids. He told them to fuck off and asked them to come to UW and be coached by two dipshits. It kinda worked when we “won” recruiting battles for Asa and a few other guys; but is also why we have no depth left in the secondary. Most kids told him to fuck off years ago and the ones that didn’t either left early understandably or suck. We’re left with the suck and then the two years of Covid recruiting where Jimmy did more of nothing.
The portal isn’t some automatic solution either. Most of those kids suck and are in the portal for a reason. Expecting us to develop a competent secondary next season with the suck left behind and the portal is still bleak as fuck, in my opinion.

Jimmy fucked the defense badly for sure, especially the secondary.
As far as the portal goes, I think it's correct that most of the guys you can find at some positions are there because they're bad. Corner and safety may be examples. Basically the positions where players are willing to lipo for 2-3 years before bailing are going to be weaker in the portal than offensive skill spots where top prospects will portal right away at the drop of a hat.
There are big time guys available, but UW won't hang with the big dicks in free agency. I expect good RBs and receivers to come out of the portal. I'm skeptical about dbs though. The competition for the few good ones is too tough. -

Agree! Was thinking the Coaches want the D to be X but can’t get there with AB or C.
Get the Fuck over it and figure out what you got. Like, I want my car to be fast and turn heads but alas, it’s still a 72 VW squareback.Mad_Son said:Talent is an issue, but maybe we shouldn't play so much man coverage then. Play to the talent you have, not the scheme you want.
