    Lack of reps, muscle memory. He can’t catch the ball right now

    He needs more time in college if he can’t handle the beavers when it’s wet.
    Not a popular opinion but Polk played himself out of being a second day pick. All the bullshit he talked and then he played like dog shit. Rome played himself into maybe the first receiver picked.
    Nega please, it is just one game. You don’t discount the 10 games prior to that. Dude has been amazing outside of OSU

    you guys are absolutely launching yourselves over the shark over this polk thing jesus

    He dropped a couple vs Oregon State. All of his catches this year have been easy.

    That was Polks first and last bad game since DeBoer got here

    I love Polk and I feel great about throwing to him this and every week but he had 4 games last year with 15 or less yards and 9 games with less than 50. He wasn't an automatic last year by any means. This year he certainly has been, before this week.

    I feel like those games were more a case of abundance with McMillan being healthy. Polk was open but other player were open-er

    Sarcasm. He’s made amazing catches. He’s exceeded every expectation this year and played amazing. Nobody would think we went undefeated with McMillian missing 2/3rds of the season.
    Oh man my sarcasm meter failed me there. I was wondering about you Roadie.

    Second Round Pick as a Sophomore. Meaning he will be the highest pick ever at Washington to come out as an underclassman.

    Coaches need to evaluate McMillan based on the Apple Cup. If he’s actually back, then give him the reps/throws against Oregon. If not, put Germie and Giles in there.

    Sophomore? Have to love the misinformation. Steve came out as a Junior. That’s not an underclassman but still

    What’s your point. NFL plays in bad weather. Was he a second day pick? I’ve yet to see him as a second round pick on any major mock drafts.
    That was cold and wet and uw was stupid to be throwing heat seeking missiles down the field. Nobody was catching with their hands consistently if at all. Romes big catches were on body too. Still impressive, but not the same as trying to snag a heater extended in the air. He is not losing draft status. His hands are his best asset.
    Grubb needs to call an easy slant or out for him. Just catch the ball after a 5 or 7 yard route and get it out of his system.
    Maybe a fucking screen pass...
    Yes. Give him the ball and let his body override his mind.

    My fault. But Byron Murphy was a soph. Polk also has two redshirts. Unless he falls apart he gone. Academically he should be a senior.

    I just realized...he's trying to keep the screen game under wraps for the big games.

    Or not. The idea occurred to me though.

    Remember all the drops against Tulsa? Our receivers looked like total shit in that game.

    They’re fine. The only question is McMillan’s knee.

    He had that opportunity against Stanford and dropped it. That was pre-knee brace so I’m optimistic a simple route/throw/catch opportunity will be successful against the Cuog

    McDuffie was a first round pick as a sophomore
    And what a great pick that was.
    He went TOO LOW

    I still shake my head that UW has really not had many DBs play for Seattle during the Pete Carroll era. All these studs, right in his backyard, and Carroll is a DB guy. Is it Carroll's stupid "step kick" thing?

    I know Sydney Jones was there for a while, but he was broken by the time he played in the NFL.

    Stalin is claiming #myPolk now?! Pretty sure I was in on him early last season and was heavily fluffing him early this year.
