Demond Should Start
Comments

I mean, that is a good point.
but then, do you ever want people who are afraid of competition? It’s not like he hasn’t been given the reigns. If he came and did not have a legit shot at it, yeah, bad for the next portal campaign. But this is different.
also, you could apply the same logic to HS recruits. Don't go there; they favor their portal guys.It’s all super fucked up. I hate all the portaling even though sometimes you get a savior like Penix.

I hear what you're saying but the staff may want to take it week by week, particularly after a much needed bye. McCree could be back and Memmelaar was banged up so if the OL could look at lot better with both back in and Hatchett (or Memmelaar) at RG to replace Vinoki.
So my guess is that the staff sticks with the current plan thinking that the OL had an awful game which impacted a non-mobile QB like Rogers. If the OL sucks again, they definitely should give Demond more snaps since he can escape trouble much better.

Benching a Captain seems smart. May as well bench Grady too since he can’t hit a FG consistently. With the OTs being 3 of the worst in CFB it doesn’t matter who’s back at QB. Do you want the scrambler or the guy who can get the ball out faster?
-
Rogers doesn't get the ball out
-
This is a fair critique. There's barely been any sacks he's taken that are straight up you're like the pressure came so fast there was no other option.
-
I do wonder, though, how many of the sacks have come not so fast (like a lineman totally blowing an assignment) but also not due to Rogers holding onto the ball. I saw at least 3 sacks in the Iowa game that was due to linemen getting beat (mostly Vinoki and Faasolo).
But Fisch and Carroll don't escape notice because if your starting LT goes out and your back-up is a RS-Frosh with limited experience while your RG is struggling too, why fling it around so much? After McCree went out early, I would have gone more conservative to account for that. I didn't see much play-calling meant to slow down the pass rush either (such as a TE screen where the TE chips the aggressive DE and then turns for the ball). I'm not sure they ever called a draw on 3rd and medium or long either (especially in 4 down territory) that could have exploited Iowa pinning their ears back either.
I should acknowledge that Fisch / Carroll dialed up at least one big play and Rogers missed the receiver. This 2024 squad doesn't have much margin for error with a totally new OL and it sure would be nice to have Quinten Moore back too.

8th in yards
8th in completion percentage
22nd in TDs (tied with Gabriel, 1 more than Milroe)
Just because you once had a thought doesn't mean you need to maintain it forever. It's detracting from the actual problems
-
Lies, damn lies and statistics…
What's his completion % inside the red zone?
-
Great stats
They are for losers Mrs Rogers
-
Give him some snaps, both meaningful and in garbage time to see what you have for the future and for development.
I don't think you bench Rogers. It's not going to help anything.
-
Remember the problem with Leach’s offense particularly against good defenses? They couldn’t score in the red zone. They ate up a lot of shitty Pac-12 and Big 12 Ds but struggled to do much against decent defenses and Rogers is a product of that system.
I would think having Coleman could help that but I think the OLine is so bad in condensed space it’s still a struggle.
-
Interesting you said Leach was the issue with that instead of his various qbs
-
Rogers is pretty good. You're shtick of oversimplifying everything is fun and probably pretty accurate 81% of the time but in this instance it's just NFL fan behavior taking attention away from the real problems
Put the backup in!!!!!!!
-
Nope
I know football
-
That's a great point, and I don't remember or didn't watch them too closely that year, but Minshew seemed like a major upgrade because he could finally escape the pocket and do some things on the run. Defense having less space to cover started opening up again by having to account for that.
Then they went to Anthony Gordon who was a vastly superior passer to Minshew but couldn't do anything with his legs and had the same problems as Falk, etc.
-
I feel like I remember a ton of the Cougs moving the ball between the 20s then turning the ball over on downs, getting sacked a lot and settling for FGs in the red zone.
I think Rogers is fine. He could be the second or third best QB of any QB we play this year and would probably have a huge season had DeBoer stayed and we kept last year’s OL sans Fautanu and 50/50 Rosengarten.
He’s also not helped by almost never having short fields but part of that problem is we aren’t able to get ahead of or tie these shitkicker offenses and force their QB to have to make plays and turn the ball over other than Michigan and kind of Coug but then the offense couldn’t finish the job. -
Good point about the shorter fields. UW Special Teams isn't doing the offense any favors.
All we can hope is that the bye week gets guys mentally and physically refreshed and the special teams improves with more focused work on it.
-
Oregon gave up 200 yards rushing and 300 total and pitched a shutout against Purdue. You have to run the fucking football, or have ELITE receivers who just moss motherfuckers down there.
-
Fisch called a speed option with Rogers. I feel like this is being over analyzed. UWs offense is full of talented players and the interior of the Oline is functional. The issue is the coaches
-
Are ewe gnu hear?
Meet Race Bannon. That's his schtick.
Old.Man.Yard.Yelling.Clouds.
Although, during the Iowa game, I did say "That's it. I've had it with Rogers. Start/play Demond. Now. "
-
So I'm right
Got it
-
The beauty of being older is stripping away all of the bullshit and emotion very early in the thought process.
-
Advanced stats with PFF say otherwise. But I’ll let you drown in your drunken misery.
-
PFF
lol
4-3
-
is no one willing to say UW’s placekicker is shit?
-
yep we should bench all of our Captains. How dare they let us lose. Start with the shit place kicker. Fire Jedd.
-
that 0.01 second longer he takes to throw compared to Penix is the reason for 4-3, agreed.
-
Stats are for losers
-
thanks Phil.

By the way I'm only miserable when sober
Check the stats
