    One of the most odd Husky careers in a program filled with them. What does he do at the end of the season?

    Improve his run defense?

    He has flashed and is a solid role player. Our dline is not the problem

    Probably the best all around DL across the entire front since Feeney... its actually pretty good even without a standout super star like Vea or Gaines anchoring it and there are couple underclassman like Tunuufi or Tagliatelle that could really grow into being great in the next 1-2 years.

    They would look pretty dominant if the secondary wasn't in the bottom 25% of the country.

    He was 280 in his breakout year. He’s too skinny now, which is probably good for his recovery, but negates some of his power.

    Does he have another year? With 15 more pounds, I think he could be dominant again.

    We're like the on one year wonder school of linebackers and edge guys.

    What I meant by that is he was a breakout star in 2020, got injured, still maintained a lot of buzz as a probably second round NFL prospect, but now he doesn't even play much, though he's pretty decent in pass rush when he does. I can't imagine he's even a 6/7th round prospect right now though...so does he come back hoping he can blow up in one more year or just try to make it in the NFL now?

    He almost transferred before this year. I’d say it’s 50/50 on whether he transfers after the season.

    Probably a good bet. Go somewhere one year for a fresh start and see if he can get lightning in a bottle. Honestly, Martin and Trice have looked better sadly.

    Its not like "we" have crazy talent at that spot. With martin leaving at the end of the year, he should be penciled in as the starter.

    Sucked in by the "Soldiers on" headline but passing on the opportunity. Bench player retros don't pay in THIS economy

    This is the bravery HH deserves. Going out on a limb. At these odds, he’s just as likely to stay as he is to leave.

    Honestly ZTF got a little arrogant. I'm a fan of betting on yourself as much as anyone but success during the Covid season isn't the same as a regular full season and then the achilles came. The plus is he didn't jump to the NFL because he would have washed out pretty quickly. He's got time and that's a lot
