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

Polk 0-10

On last 10 targets. Mind boggling to write this. Polk appears to be broken after talking all that shit pregame in Corvallis. Penix is not healthy. There is no way he isn’t hurt. WR corps are in shambles outside of Rome. Boston getting reps no thanks. Not enough of Bernard and Westy. The routes are so hard. Scrap the scheme. Bring something new this week.

    The offense is Dillon Johnson, Rome, the occasional Westie, and the remainder are Katherine Hepburns.

    They sat Giles Jackson (and I think they were trying to sit Tuli but had to play him in the 4th). That should help next week.

    They finally targeted Westover and Bernard late.

    Polk has sucked the last two games. For the first ten games he was a monster. Fuck off with the Katherine Hepburn bullshit.

    Who else is trustworthy of putting the game into their hands right now? Shaking as fuck.

    JaMarcus Shephard has the best six days of his career and fixes Polk.

    McMillan and Polk being in their own heads is truly tragic.

    Penix looks physically fine. I don't know what the fuck happened to him, but I don't think he's dealing with an injury.

    Penix looks physically fine. I don't know what the fuck happened to him, but I don't think he's dealing with an injury.

    He is mentally broken. Couldn't even watch the final kick and walked off like James Brown with the cape covering his face. He delivered an undefeated year, but he looks like he has hit the wall, bad.
    Yeah, it could be the Heisman did actually mean a lot to him and he's coming to grips with the fact that he's not getting it.



    Or maybe he caught his girlfriend getting a good and honest pounding from someone else

    Polk needs to come back. We also need a QB for him to come back to. Xfer portal here we come.

    Sorry DMO, you can always work at a Waffle House in Compton though.

    Penix just isn’t hitting every 20 yard downfield throw like he was at the beginning of the season. So many of those were fantastic catches by the receivers. At some point those throws were not going to be automatic anymore and when one of your 3 star receivers has the injury yips and the other has the mental “I can’t catch” yips this is what you are getting.

    Can’t just keep chucking it down the fucking field nonstop.

    Polk played in Corvallis like a guy that can't catch in the rain. He played today like a guy that had too many bong hits this morning. I suspect some of the less mature players were overlooking WSU and expected to get by today with 60% effort.

    That’s the problem. Penix isn’t using the whole field, he’s throwing high balls down the sidelines hoping his elite WR will catch it. It’s no longer working. Westy is the only person he’s hitting off the sideline, and even that’s outside the hashes.

    In his first six games, Penix averaged 383 passing yards and tossed 20 touchdown passes. In the past six games, he’s averaging 232 and thrown five TDs.

    And 200 of those yards are to Rome.

    Penix has lost faith in him. Chose to take the sack to end the game instead of tossing it to at the goal line with two steps on the defender.
