Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
How much difference is this offense with:
1) Kasen Williams. This is the obvious choice because instead of catching TD's in the playoffs for the Hawks (Hi DNC) he should be finishing his senior year healthy. He makes the plays on 50/50 Balls that Browning likes to throw. This duo would have been great to watch this year.
2) Damore'ea Stringfellow. The big strong fast receiver UW needs right now to free up the running game. Fuck you Cyler for being a dumb shit and wearing your Denver hat during a 12's celebration looking for trouble... WTF was String suppose to do, let his QB get his ass kicked?. I wish he had signed with USC and String would still be a Dawg and Browning wouldn't be throwing to the legion of Smurfs
3)Ross... well he is -2 wins as he recovers from playing corner

Yes the OL sucks ass, but when was the last decent OL UW has fielded? 199_??
From what I remember that Oline sucked ass too.
If you're gonna bash Nupe, I'm out.

Peterman only knows what we are seeing. He doesn't trust his QB to do anything other than short dink and dunk shit.
He won't open the playbook until he feels his team can execute it all.
Its the old ... my way is best.
This isn't Neu bringing in Gilby to run the option because that was the best system for his players. He played the hand he was dealt ... Peterman wants to deal the hand, play the hand, and until he he gets it all there ... we are going to get the shit show we got.
This isn't a Smith problem.
And oh yeah.
Smith is here for the long haul ... Peterman trusts him with "his" offense.
Deal with it assholes.
You must be new to football if you don't think that any fucking stooge from the projects couldn't run and catch if they had giant gaping holes and 4 seconds of protection for the QB.
Regardless, for all of Gilby's faults, he would be a huge upgrade over Smith. A guy that had been the OC at UW in our NC year is a huge step up from a guy whose prior OC experience was at Montana. I still don't understand how the fuck Petersen couldn't get a better OC for UW when he came here.
At the same time, I think the D is very good despite last year's losses and the special teams have been good in the aggregate as well.
Returning to the offense, I only realized now that UW started 7 underclassmen against Cal (4 freshmen, 3 sophomores) including true freshmen at the all important QB and LT positions.
Yeah yeah yeah, we're young for the Xth year in a row but man, I don't ever recall any offense that young with true frosh at key positions.
Also something for consideration, the only upperclassmen starters are the O are Mickens, Tufunga, Perkins, and Washington. Does that sound like a recipe for success, particularly earlier in the season?
So I guess the good thing is that no matter what happens with Smith, the offense WILL GET BETTER because it's not like it's an offense loaded with upperclassmen / returning starters. And yeah yeah yeah I get the argument that just because they're young doesn't mean they'll get better but what I've seen tells me that Browning, Adams, Shelton, Sosebee, McGary / James, Pettis, Lenius, and Gaskin will improve because they have the talent (vs. praying that guys like Miles, Atoe, Criste, and Brostek finally show up).
He covered vs. BSU though. IIRC, the spread was 10 and he lost by 3 (Browning's first start).
I'm sure we both agree that to reclaim so good will he's lost, Petersen will need to beat a team the sharps think he should lose to...like the oh so close loss to Arizona after Cooper fumbled.
So even though the schedule is tough the next 3 games, it's actually a great chance to get so momentum back. UW will probably be around a 17 point dog @ USC, maybe a 6 point dog vs. Oregon, and probably at least a 10 point dog @ Stanford (subject to lines moving after more feedback from the USC game).
Definitely 3 opportunities for the offense to change some minds.
But not all wins and losses are equal, at least in terms of attempting to use them as a guide for future performance going forward.
