Before the season, everyone liked Pettis and Lenius. Now, they suck and "Can't beat anyone off the line." Are they actually shitty though? Does Daniels suck? Look at Mickens stats as a sophomore compared to now.
We all understand that none of these guys are stars. But do some of you believe that Pettis, Lenius, and Daniels couldn't be reliable targets for say the Arizona schools, WSU, etc? My guess is they would be solid contributors, yet they suck at UW because.... Drum role..... The coaching sucks. Players normally suck when the coaching does.

God, your life must be miserable.
Roadie makes a valid point. To me there's been a clear regression with the WR this year, part of that is obviously exacerbated by starting a true freshman QB, but it seems to go beyond that to me. Outside of Jonathan Smith being gently spritzed with napalm and set ablaze, my next preferred candidate for death by fire would be Brent Pease.
gunt.
On offense, we assumed guys like Pettis and Lenius and Daniels would see the kind of improvement that Bierria, Gardenhire, Qualls and Victor have seen. It's happening on the defense, but not on the offense.
Maybe @HuskyInAZ can enlighten us with the dawgman, "get a life" perspective why we should ignore this? So our lives can be awesome?
Or just so we can regulate his emotional state for him by saying things that make him feel good and he doesn't disagree with?
Either way, our offense is a fucking dumpster fire and everyone involved with it should probably be canned.
I doubt Pete does anything, but if he does, I would fire Babushka first (QB play has been terrible and offensive schemes are a joke), then see what else we've got. Pease, Strausser and Bonerpha have produced good results prior to coming here.
The Boosh hasn't. He should be immediately jettisoned.
Why do you hate him Roadie?? It WILL take another 21 games for this team to reach its goals. Because Petersen is coach however, the dawgs have a chance to be really good next year, a year early, and almost exclusively with Peter's freshmen sophomore and junior recruits. Its so obvious what is being built here yet a collection of buttsniffers like yourself cant see it. I made it clear this team would win 4-6 games. WTF record did you expect, in a conference loaded 10 out if 12 teams? Answer you whiney twat, and give us a few reasons why you think this team should be a bowl team this year, or a contender next year?
Get over Skinny too. Its old and there's more to that story.
I actually can't stand Pease more so than even Babushka at this point. The lack of blocking by his WR's is appalling. We all bag on the bubble screen, but seriously there has been only a handful of times where we have thrown it that it was a bad "call".
A majority of the time it is Browning deciding to throw it because of the look the defense gives him. It's a really simple yes or no to even run it. It hurts me to think of the number of times I've seen us through it out there and be like, "good decision", only to see our WR/TE get blown up and the play goes for nothing.
In short, I want Pease and Smith gone. Keep Strausser and Bonopha.
We also liked Pettis because of his punt returns and we liked Lenius because he made a 16-yard catch against UCLA. They aren't shitty, but they were hyped here because there was no one else to hype on the offense.
It's hard for us to really know who sucks and who looks bad because of the rest of the offense.
Mickens is a good case study for this. He was good as a sophomore because he had 2 NFL WR's blocking for him and defenses had to account for ASJ and Sankey. Last year he was worse but still made some plays as a result of John Ross at times and Kasen and DiAndre Campbell being able to block. Now he's just a guy who can make an occasional catch as there is no major threat on the offense. Is he really worse or is it the players around him?
Josh Perkins is good. Pettis and Lenius have shown flashes but need to be more consistent. I don't know what the deal is with Daniels but he whiffed on tough catches against Boise and U$C. I think he's been lost in the coaching shuffle. Wasted his first year then moved him back and forth between WR/TE. He may be better as a WR.
They need to get NKeal Harry or Javon McKinley. Renfro and either of those guys would really push Pettis and Lenius.
So, if you are going to write two paragraphs repeating the same shit that has been posted 21 times, at least make it funny.
DDY is equally repetitive (and mutilating a dead horse at this point), but I still chuckle.
