Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

This is Bugging Me

Maybe the Gaskin needs 25+ carries is overblown, but it you honestly think this over analytical pass happy offense hasn't cost UW multiple games, DIAFF because you are a hopeless doog.

    There's something to conserving a small back, but that just means you bring in another back once in a while.

    1st down - bubble screen to Gaydon Mickens for - 1 yds
    2nd down and 11 - run it for 3 yards
    3rd down and 8 - incomplete pass

    3 and out

    stupid play calling

    No, it's not on fucking execution, and even if it was, that's still on coaches somewhat

    We know what guys like Mickens are now.

    So run the ball more.

    Yeah but the commentators think Smiff is creative and stuff.

    I see everything you guys are describing. Can't really disagree with any of it. And yet, Peterman's BSU teams ran the shit out of the ball. My sense is that his offensive scheme and playcalling at UW are being heavily influenced by some pretty glaring personnel deficits, both in terms of talent and experience. Going ultra-conservative, and trusting your stout defense to keep you in games to the end, has given UW a puncher's chance in several games that could (should?) have been blowouts. Peterman's sideline demeanor tells me he doesn't like what they're doing on offense any more than we do. My guess is that the offense will look a lot different in a year or two.

    "Stubborn in the run game."

    This quote, that Peterman has used multiple times, is as troubling as "House Money." It really, really bothers me and IMO should greatly concern the rest of you. We are treading into "the coaches know more than us" territory if it doesn't.

    I share some optimism about the improvement, especially with Browning, but holy fuckall..

    I can't see Peterman keeping it simple next year and giving it to Gaskin 25 times and letting D-Wash, McGrew, whoever the hell else get another 10-15 carries.

    If we actually played like Utah or Stanford, teams that Peterman says he wants to be like, we would have a chance at 10+ wins next year.

    You guys can dismiss all of the above as more yearafternextwillbegreat rhetoric if you want. But folks who've been around more than a year or two will know that was never my message during prior coaching tenures. It's not Peterman's fault his predecessors sucked, nor that they left him a shit sandwich on offense.

    They also blew a lot of teams out at Boise State which leads to running the ball late.

    They ran the ball for balance, but the offense at Boise State was Kellen Moore picking apart the defense.

    When Ty beat Boise the Broncs were great between the 20's but couldn't cash it in when reaching the red zone. A problem Air Raid has at WSU. A problem a lot of these shitty passing offenses have.

    WSU kicked 5 field goals against Stanford. One or two TDs and WSU is looking for a Norte Division title

    Petersen presents better than Sark or Ty. But the results have yet to catch up to the aura

    I'm not just talking about the Kellen Moore years, during which BSU was balanced but still ran a lot. During the non-KM years, BSU ran a ton.

    I think things would be better if Petersen acknowledged problems on offense. He's always pointed out specifics on defense like tackling and player positions on defense. But when he talks about the offense it's basically a "our plays work" answer.

    Like "we need to be more stubborn in the running game?"

    I think there's more to it than what you are describing @RoadDawg55 ... I'll try to take a deep dive into some numbers in the near future to try to get to the heart of it. There's some surface area stats that I'm fairly confident without looking would give conflicting results.

    Regardless, there needs to be a strong reconsideration of what's going on offensively in the offseason. The areas that have sucked there have been so fucktardedly bad that it actually is overshadowing some of the good things going on on offense.

    So you'll circle back and drill down?

    The run/pass ratio is actually even worse than the stats show because 95% of Browning's carries are sacks and scrambles on called pass plays.

    It's deeper than that ... I don't think you can look at Petersen's past at Boise and figure out what he's for or against by just looking at box scores. There's going to be a unique subset that really will spell out what it is that he wants to do.

    I'm not unconvinced that some of the shift to throwing this year is to get Browning experience. How much of that experience is for the future at the expense of this year is a good question. Year still needs to play out.

    And yes, I do think that if the PI on Perkins is not called, we win the Utah game.

    I am convinced if we ran 60/40 run/pass ratio this year we would have 2 more wins between Cal/Oregon/Utah.

    Smith and Pete's hard on for "balance" with a freshman qb and wr's below average has made no sense all year. I can see next year's offense being able to do this, but not this year's team.

    It would be interesting to see the % of first downs we've had when we started the first and 10 with a pass play versus a running play.

    Pete wanted to be "stubborn" with the run at USC. I wish they would have been "stubborn" with it all year.

    Here's a good plan for our offense:

    First and 10: Run the ball to Gaskin 80% of the time. Mostly out of the I formation. Sometimes throw out of the I on play action once the Gaskin carries average above 4 ypc.

    2nd and 6+: Throw a slant to FUCKING PETTIS. NEVER TO MICKENS.

    2nd and 2-6: Run a trap or something with Gaskin 80% of the time; play action if he's getting 5 ypc.

    2nd and 1-2: Play action.

    3rd and 5+: Throw over the middle.

    3rd and 1-5: Throw over the middle.

    Will we then level-set and align on strategy?

    Synergize data, form a task force, and send it to committee. Don't want to step on any toes, but rather we need to get people together and achieve consensus on this before sending it through the proper channels.
