Budda interview after the game

Q13's post game show interviewed Budda and the chick asked him something along the lines of "How does this team play so well together?"
His response was (paraphrasing) "This is what Coach Pete teaches us. I can go up to any lineman or anybody on this team and talk to them because we are family. We play for each other."
I was quickly reminded of 2 things:
1- The story that has gone around of Sark mimicking a player who had a speech impediment in front of the entire team.
2- Petersen screaming at a star player in one of his first practices for calling another player by his # instead of his name. Petersen apparently said, "You don't even bother to learn his name?! He's your brother!"
The culture change that Petersen preached was for real. This is not a team chock-full of 4 and 5 star recruits but it soon will be. The future is
very
fucking
bright.

That player was probably Peters.
Petersen probably has a much more hollistic approach to football but it works. And it works very very well. -

Great post but the future is now (and next year).
We probably won't have 3 DT's like we do or a secondary like this ever again no matter how many 4 and 5 star players we get. -
Could be. But I'll wait to see guys like Byron Murphy, Marlon Tuilatpu, and Camilo Eifler play before I say this is as good as it gets.RoadDawg55 said:Great post but the future is now (and next year).

There are still many outliers in the future. -
True on the DTs but our secondary is stacked with talent for years to come and will be dominant for at least as long as Jimmy Lake stays.RoadDawg55 said:Great post but the future is now (and next year).

Jordan Miller, Rapp, Joyner, heck even true freshman walk-on Myles Bryant got some play last night and looked decent.

No, but in the future we may have an actual pass rusher, a strongside DE that can hold the edge, or a dynamic tight end that can create mismatches for any back seven.RoadDawg55 said:Great post but the future is now (and next year).

This is not a once-in-a-lifetime-stars-have-aligned kind of team. This is just a fucking great team with great player development that doesn't need to rely on any one guy or unit to kick a team's teeth in. Having nine guys on the P12 first team is not a lucky coincidence of generational players, it's a direct result of a staff that knows how to build a roster and I see no reason to suspect that that trend won't continue. -
This stuff is by design and it actually works. Immature brahs like Sark don't get it.
When players actually care about and believe in their teammates it produces trust.
Trust between teammates in football goes a long way. QB has to trust his WR is going to be at the right place at the right time. OG has to trust that the OT next to him is going to follow his blocking assignment on slide protection. WIL has to trust MLB to fit the opposing offense's rushing attack so he can defend against a cut back. -

Guys like Potato, String?, BBK, Beavers, and obv Rapp all played significant snaps last night and the defense did not drop off. I think I even saw Shane Bowman out there. -
I don't think this is a once in a lifetime team. Other than Saban and Meyer though, most coaches and programs don't just continually reach the playoff and title games year after year. We will be good in the future, but this is a special season.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Coaches will start coming and going if we have continued success. Petersen is obviously the most important, but guys like Lake, Hamden, K, etc will probably move on. Higher ranked talent does not always equal better talent. Other teams in the PAC 12 can get better.
The same thing goes for having the hunger and desire season after season to dominate. It's hard.gif.
I know everybody is enjoying the now, but fuck the future and fuck TBS. Fuck the current players who are red shirting. We have a title shot this fucking year. We should have learned by now that this is rare.
The future was for doogs when we were 7-6 and they could use TBS and young players as reason to feel better. We don't need to do that shit anymore and it feels great. -
lol Washington is a blue blood school and you're dumb if you think Chris Petersen already peaked
-
I bet Petersen read the book "the speed of trust"
-
It's not whether he has peaked or not. We will stay contenders. There just is a thin line. Petersen "peaking" has nothing to do with my post.BrickSquad said:lol Washington is a blue blood school and you're dumb if you think Chris Petersen already peaked

What the fuck was your post supposed to mean then dumbass. You hedge your bets worse then an ESPN cfb analyst talking about Chris PetersenRoadDawg55 said:

Petersen appears to be the most well-rounded coach in the Pac - calm, confident, friendly, and rational. Though, I wish he'd stop doing the incongruent, head-shaking thing as = "yes" .......half the players shake their heads when they talk to the media now, even when they are actually saying yes or agreeing. Head-shaking = disapproval. Somebody in Petersen's life was very disapproving, and you can see this in that anchored ghost of Petersen's constant head-shaking.
Helfrich is an example of an unbalanced HC. He was a nerdy, socially-inadequate, HC who probably focused ALL his energies on the Xs and Os. He lacked the other skills required to be a leader, like rudimentary, social skills. Half of his team DGAF about the team, because he appeared like he DGAF. Helfrich was probably not a good listener, he had a lot of black or white, one-word responses. -
Why is this so hard to understand? When you are in the playoff you need to win it. We are not Alabama or Ohio st and some sort of football factory. Nor are going to be. They will compete to win the north every year. This team has one main flaw in that our rush end was injured. Tons of NFL guys everywhere. We are not going to be a top 4 team every year. It's not like Petersen won the conference every year at Boise state.BrickSquad said:

These doogs that think we're better in the future because the jack off to tbs are dumb. -
The story about Peterman (hi @Steve_Bowman!) is from Boise but it's still part of Peterman's coaching philosophy.

Yes we need to win it, but we also can be on the same level as ohio state and alabama but on the west coast. We have the chance to be THE blue blood of the west coast like USC.AtomicDawg said:

Budda Baker going to UW and decommitting from Oregon because of Chris Petersen was the start of the legacy -
This is coming from a fag who went to UW for school and never gave a shit about the football program since we went 0-12 while I was there

Future is so fucking bright, but that can wait. Right now it's about enjoying every moment and hoping for a win in the next game.
Feb is for the future. The off season is for the future.
