Shelton is a huge loss but my hope is you can plug in Qualls and Vita Vea so that you have two legit tackles in the middle. Vea ballooned to 340 but the hope is he got back down to 290-300 this season and can be ready to start next year. I love the young prospects we have on the DL but there will be a big drop off at the start of next season with no Shelton and Kikaha.

Agreed. Qualls and Dissly look good, some nice prospects coming through on the DL definitely, but you just can't overstate how much Shelton and Kikaha have meant to this team.HeretoBeatmyChest said:Shelton is a huge loss but my hope is you can plug in Qualls and Vita Vea so that you have two legit tackles in the middle.

Shifting to the young secondary and how well they are doing considering the circumstances, they would have been shredded significantly if it weren't for the senior pressure by the two all-americans. Shelton Fucked Solomon up in the head, in the mechanics, and it helped the back four tremendously.
They won't get that kind of bail out next year. Hopefully they're ready. -
My point is those who are predicting next year to be a disaster, and many of you have done that, are.fucking.stupid.Doogles said:

I think next year has a better than 50-50 chance to be worse than this year. Say 60-40. But, the bright side is that is a 40 percent chance to be better. Fuck off. I don't care if I'm stupid. I don't see how you replace the losses on the lines. Then again, replacing shit on the OL might actually help.

Don't forget about Greg Gaines; great big body addition in 2014. He wouldn't be on this roster if it weren't for Petersen and co.HeretoBeatmyChest said:Shelton is a huge loss but my hope is you can plug in Qualls and Vita Vea so that you have two legit tackles in the middle.

Gotta admit, Shelton impressed me during the Zona (ILTCTZ) game. There was a play where the AZ QB faked an inside hand off and took off for the corner. Most of the UW defense keyed on the RB, and it looked like the play was going for a big gain. Shelton tackled the QB about 2 yards from the sideline for a one-yard loss.Doogles said:
Agree on the kids playing hard till the end, but i'm not so sure the D will be close from the Shelton factor alone.MikeDamone said:I was/am pissed. But I saw signs of good players who can play. Plays that did not quit on their coach. The things I saw are some of the easiest to correct. I think even with losses on defense, I think next year will be better. Good teams and coaches have to replace players every year, it's part of the deal.
If Petersen fixes these things they will be very good for years. At HIS SALARY he should be able to fix them.
Danny Shelton is the best we've seen since Emtman. He is unbelievable and will be sorely missed. He goes out for one 3rd and 6 and rich rod says just ram it up the middle for seven. That's the kind of shit we're going to see without him in the middle. A lot.
Dude's legit.

Our OL needs to cycle through the Cascade Front as soon as possible.

The fact that Husky fans realized what it felt like to be a Coug again when our team Coug'd It has a lot to do with it. Such a sick feeling. So sick my remote nearly went airborne directly at the flat screen. I held up with a sanity check.RoadDawg55 said:I hope we get back to the point where every loss matters and hurts. Losses still bother me, but not as much late in the season after already losing 4 games. I remember being really pissed about losing to Oregon in 2000 and Oregon State and Texas in 2001. The most pissed I got during the Sark years was last year against Stanford.
Just a guess, but I think people were more pissed than usual about this loss because of the fashion in which we lost. I also think it was because we played relatively well and still found a way to lose. I think it was also a accumulation of the whole season to this point.

Do you think there will be a 3-man rotation for the 2 spots in the middle?Joe Stephanson said:
