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

Petersen made adjustments

Our offense was shit for his first 2 years. It's decent now (not ready to say good due to the bad defenses we have faced). The 4 biggest problems were

1. Terrible linemen left from Sark - he has brought in a couple of studs and coached up the other ones to be serviceable

2. Babushka - he hired Tedford to knock the stupid out of Smith (hopefully t stays this way)

3. WR never improved - he fired the WR coach and brought in a new one who not only has made Ross/Pettis on of the best in the conference... but in the entire nation.

4. A shit stable of QBs - he went out and made sure he got his guy for the next 4 years.

Took a little longer than it should have but I'm glad that when I watch the offense now I have confidence they can actually sustain a drive.

    The first two years I was calling for a new OL coach.

    Now I'm thinking he is pretty good, whoever the fuck he is. (I can't remember names when I'm hungover and I'm too lazy to look it up right now)

    Meanwhile, Stanford's OL is going to shit. Who would have predicted this, this year?

    I don't blame Strausser for being left with a bunch of pudgy noodle armed linemen who all had the mental toughness of a kicker.

    I really don't think people understand how bad the linemen were that Sark left. They were an embarrassment. No matter how good of a coach you are you don't turn that shitshow into good in your first year or even two.

    Coaching matters the most but talent is also big.

    Yeah Strauser's recruiting hasn't been fantastic, but if we keep winning, and as guys see what he can produce on the OL, we should get more OL guys interested in our program.

    All I'm saying is, I don't hate him anymore. Our OL is better than both Stanford's and Oregon's. That is pretty cool.

    I will admit that Nick Harris has been a pleasant surprise. Still hate Strausser.

    Passing down field instead of nothing but bubble screens helps.

    Bubble screens have been almost nonexistent this year.

    Strausser is a kraut-eating white supremacist fuckstick until he learns to recruit guys that aren't goofy white guys from Gorst.

    I'll take a superior teacher who isn't a great recruiter versus the reverse for OL coach ten times out of ten. I'd love to have one who is both.

    Who is like that? Greatwood at Oregon? His line just got its shit pushed in, big time.

    I want Strausser to recruit better. Fuck, I want Jimmy Lake to recruit better too.

    But the point is if you are going to call out a coach as somebody you hate because he should be doing something better, you ought to be able to point to a better option. Otherwise the shit ain't as obvious as it might seem on the surface.

    And I'm annoyed by the fact some of the more egregious trolls and asshats around here aren't doing their fucking mea culpas. These are guys who would call someone a doog for expressing a single optimistic opinion, who continue to cling to stale, bullshit narratives or who move the goalposts now.

    I don't think you're in that category.

    Trolls and asshats will try to take over the board if you let them.

    Did you learn that from running your own hobby bored for years?

    Jake Eldrenkamp is fucking good. He had a phenomenal open field block on Gaskins screen to close out the first quarter... and a pancake... and a bunch of other shit. He and Adams are demo'ing these pussy PAC-12 lines. Sample and Dissly are killing the edges. There's some serious player development occurring.

    On AVT @Dennis_DeYoung I'm guessing he took the SC offer because it's SC and he can still trip. If he commits to Pete no trips no coeds no meals. I bet he flips.
