Mad Son's Ramblings: Washington on the right track but not there yet

Our offense will never be great so long as Smith is the OC. Just so many bad calls.

It's the perfect time to play Furd, just after they have 2 physical games against USC and UCLA. They are softened by high #s of injuries.
UW needs to throw a lot early on Furd's weakened secondary to stretch the defenders out.

UW's punting is 2nd worst in the Pac, 38.5 yards/punt:

UW needs to find a 4th and 1 play that works on offense. They will find themselves in a bunch of 4th and shorts against Furd. Smiff is absolutely horrible on 4th and short.
UW is throwing the second fewest # of passes in the Pac, 26.3/game. Furd is #1 at only 20 passes/game.
UW needs to get an early lead. This will be a fast, 3 hour, low-scoring game. -
Paragraphs are good.

I think the issue is the slow developing run plays especially on the 4th & 1 situations. We? lined up and ran a QB sneak at one point in the game and got it. I don't know if it a 4th and 1 but it was a relatively easy pick up.doogsinparadise said:The problem is going away from stuff that works just to be cute and "smarter" than the other guys.
Compare that to the plays where the RB is 7 yards deep and is practically standing still by time he gets the handoff. The D knows they have to penetrate and sell out to stop the run. Smiff's play calling gives them time to get that penetration and our? drives end. -
On Sat., the play calling seemed at least OK (I was buzzed the whole game and near a really obnoxious Husky/Trump fan who came down from Auburn...). The problem was as much the execution, big plays surrendered on d, and special teams gaffes. Overall though Smith's calls haven't been great (ever).
I thought Browning did OK. He fucked up at times, but he wasn't playing scared which is the huge complaint on this board.
Hugh was actually replaced by Paul Siccoro or whatever his name was in the '84 season I think. IDK. I was in kindergarten and I can barely remember the Orange Bowl. Browning is good enough to fend off Carter-Sammy and T-Rod. -
The first three paragraphs of @Mad_Son's piece really hit the mark, IMO. Solid effort.
Regarding pre-snap motion, it's certainly fair to debate whether Smith is getting max value out of it. But motion has been a staple of Petersen's offenses for a long time; this 2010 explainer describes well how it was used effectively at BSU. -
