    I like those flashes of crankiness from Pete. Grinolds always seems to set him off a bit.

    That's why Pete will always be HHKG
    Pete is wearing the right color purple and with a gold W...none of that sizzling attire that attracts the LA recruits.

    You doogs are mocking doog legends and at the same tme propping up Browning as the future savior of UW after 3 fucking practices.

    Water is wet.

    Sounds like you're surprised.

    Perhaps DJ should clean out @IrishDawg22's inbox so you can drop him a line.

    Doogs gonna Doog. Water is wetter.

    Lady asks him "Have you had a chance to talk to husky legends like Damon Huard (barf)"?

    Browning: Yeah, he actually works here.

    who?

    I'm going to bump my Browning scouting report from the city championship when this is all said and done.

    Unless of course he loses the job, then disregard this.

    Ridiculous questions all around...

    Right after Browning says he's taking it day by day and not thinking about the big picture, Softy asks if hes thought about what it would mean to start as a true freshman since UW hasn't had anyone do that in a while.

    Ruth asks him "Have you had a chance to talk to husky legends like Damon Huard (barf)"?

    Browning: Yeah, he actually works here.

    All I think I think is it won't be Lindquist. Sounds like his touch and accuracy are improving but my guess is that the consistency to be the trigger man.

    He's a very good athlete and 6'3 240 lbs though and I'd like to see him worked in 5-10 plays a game in the Wild Swede or as a FB or H-back.

    @Dennis_DeYoung I hate to say told you so ... and I know you probably missed that with your skimming of TL, DR articles ... but I (and others as well) have been pimping out Browning's IT factor for a while ... when you see it you know ... glad you have joined the club

    Glad you haven't had to ask @GrandpaSankey for some scouting tips

    Brostek getting serious reps at RG has me Dooging a little...could he be Pete's next refurbished Doog legend?

    Hudson wasn't a doog legend, they had cast him on the pile after Sark seniored him.

    A Sark castoff counts toward the power of Pete, but I maintain he was still a doog legend to some degree. Hudson had a pretty good sophomore year and IIRC there was a lot of chatter about him looking the part going into his junior campaign.

    His absence was head scratching and when he was suddenly seniored it felt like, "Really, that's how his story ends?"

    You don't take a black kid named Scott. You just don't.

    Obviously consider the source but the LPT did a rundown on how all the positions are looking and they wrote a whole paragraph on Brostek. They said he is super strong, back up to 305 (remember he was huddling around 280 and having trouble putting on weight under Ivan) and his footwork is great. He is essentially playing mistake-free.

    I've heard good things about Brostek after his RS year as well.

    After Atoe (non Top 5 draft pick) and Tanigawa (post 2 ACL tears) manned it in 2014, Brostek could be an upgrade at RG in 2015.

    Sounds like RS-Frosh Matt James may start next to him at RT (an inch taller and probably longer arms than Shelton).

    This brings up a couple thoughts
    1) It speaks to this staff's ability to identify talent. Matt James was a 250 lb O lineman from Idaho who eventually picked up a few Pac-12 offers but Petersen was one of the first to offer. Also putting 30+ pounds on him over the off-season speaks to their ability to get guys in playing shape quickly.
    2) It will be interesting to see what happens with McGary. He is currently a backup to a guy (James) who is in the same class as him. On the left side, Adams and Burleson will probably battle out for the starting position after Eldrenkamp is gone

    Eldrenkamp will move to guard in 16' and mcgary and trey Adams will man the tackle position. James as well. Get the best 5 out there. We are loaded with young tackles. Shelton may move to guard if no young guards step up

    That's a black guy named Scottie, and Crichton is Polynesian.

    I think Brostek could have a breakout season. I'm worried about LT though. Hatchie was actually good last year (HM All-Pac12). I think LT could be a big problem this year.

    The run game is going to be at 60% of the offense ... if you figure that half of the remaining passes can and will be tied to play action/quick passes, that will make things a lot easier on the LT. I do agree with you though that I'd definitely recommend running some kind of sets where you have either a TE lined up with the LT to protect him a bit or at least have some kind of H-Back in place to chip before heading out.

    I completely agree on pumping the brakes. Whoever starts at QB will likely be one of the worst QB's in the conference. I will still doog over Browning because he's much more exciting than the alternatives.

    Thanks for pointing that out so I didn't have to @RoadDawg55. UCLA is the Black Guy Scott of the CFB world.
