Need to find a pass rush next week

For the first time all year, UW will be going against a QB who is not a complete retard when it comes to throwing the ball. Same can be said for Darnold and Falk. As good as our secondary is, those guys will pick us apart in the mid-range game if we let them have 7-seconds to throw the ball because we're rushing 2 guys.

- Cal's OLine will help give us a pass rush.
- Cal has not faced a secondary like ours.
- Cal has not faced a run game like ours.

Disagree on last 2. They just played SC.

No more 3 man front bullshit.

You can make an argument for 3, with Utah, USC, San Diego State, but I still think our run game is better.

USC's secondary better than UW?

Yea Cals OLine is garbage compared to Utahs who's held our line the entire time.

The pass rush this year has been better than usual. There really wasn't a pass rush since about the 2000 season up until lately at all, so what the fuck are you bitching about?

I'd be surprised if we see much else.

I've wondered whether we change our pass rushing strategy depending on the QB.

Against Stanford, QB was a statue so go knock him down.

Against Oregon and Utah, QB was more dangerous running than throwing, so don't break contain and then try to sack him.

Whats wrong with lining up Wooching at NT and rushing 2?

If Hansen is back you might have a game on your hands. They never reached the red zone on us but scored with the long ball.

Our secondary is a bit more stout than yours. Id be surprised if they do that.

What is more likely is Cal gets unlimited 10 yard gains on slants and curls.

cal's defense can't stop anyone. don't need a huge passrush. Get mathis back and disrupt just enough, UW should be able to escape with a 41-27 win or something

I think you just contradicted yourself. You say UW doesn't need an improved pass rush, but then you state the need to get Mathis back. Get him back and the pass rush gets markedly better.

I was actually surprised by the Cal OL's pass protection against USC last week. USC has better talent across the bored, but Webb was rarely hit or hurried. Maybe he just has better pocket presence than Goff did, I dunno.

2 guys getting held, tackled or clipped.

that's not what I said. Don't need a huge pass rush, but it needs to be better than no passrush, which is what UW had this week

I don't see why you assholes are so touchy about my comment and buried my post. The pass rush has been lousy since Neuheisel started the practice of recruiting based on last name. If it was a name like Falahalawallawalla from Papua New Guinea you were on scholarship. But the fact is what is needed are big fucking mean black guys. Until you do that the pass rush is still going to be disappointing. But, this year has been better than usual. For years that has been utterly stagnant!!!

You mean it's difficult to get pressure on a real OL without sending linebackers?

Nobody watches the game and thinks, "We're barely ever getting to the QB, but at least it's not as bad as 2004."

"That was a horrible ball by Browning, but I've seen Johnny DuRocher throw a worse pass."

"I don't care that Van Winkle missed that FG because he's better than Michael Braunstein."

"Budda Baker looked like a flailing hurdler at the special olympics on the long pass against Arizona, but I've seen Tripper Johnson look like an ever bigger retard.
