Budda Baker Fucking Stupendous

might go down as the best safety ever. never saw lawyer milloy play, but budda is specialGreenRiverGatorz said:Budda is an instant Husky legend

That's the best defensive football player i have seen in the purple and gold.
-
But Rapp might have something to say about that
-
I was too young to really analyze Milloy's game, but it's hard to imagine a safety as good as Budda.
He's hardly even a safety. Just a chess piece that snuffs out passes in the flat better than anyone I've ever seen. He blitzes very well, is a great open field tackler, and has crazy quicks. The pick where he landed on the sideline was unreal.
My only regret about today is he missed a kill shot opportunity on Sefo that would have been amazing.
He was always good, but the past 4-5 games he's been incredible and really cemented his legacy. -
There are members of the 1991 team that say Milloy would not have started on that team. That he wasn't sound fundamentally, and became much better as a pro.RoadDawg55 said:I was too young to really analyze Milloy's game, but it's hard to imagine a safety as good as Budda.

I watched Milloy closely. Different player. But Budda is very special. He and Shelton are easily the best players I've seen at UW since Saint Marques.
-
I love Budda so much. With all my heart.
He's up there with Marques for me. -
91 team did have good safeties. I will say I watched a replay of the 93 or 94 game against ASU. Some of the hits Milloy was making were unreal. He was slamming guys.DerekJohnson said:

I was top young to appreciate 91. The only player I knew was napoleon kaufman. I thought he was the greatest football player of all time and I wanted to be like him when I grew up. Shame about my disability (whiteness)
-
But perhaps it wasn't 91 that I remember him from. I don't know when he started and made his name

Slow your role, Millenial.

You should PM me, DJ - lots of dates/facts incorrect.
Or Irish Doog - your call

In the annals (lol) of UW lore, when people talk of the rebirth of the program they will start with Haden and Petersen. Then Budda. Then everyone else. He's been that important.
-
By chance were their names Shane and tommie that told you that? Milloy was awesome but had freedom to play center field and ad lib a lot.DerekJohnson said:

Kidding aside I have a feeling that the coaches would have found a way make him more fundamentally sound if that was what it took to get him on the field.
As it turned out our secondary from the 91 team was not that good in the pros, apparently it was not that hard to cover people for 1.5 seconds while the rest of college football figured out how to attack the 46 defense and block Stan empertan. -
Keeping Budda here for Pete, was as important as coach James keeping Joe Steele here back in the day. The lifeblood for this program will always start with keeping the local kids home. Thank you young man, you will be a dawg legend forever.

This. Budda is the Joe Steele/Paul Arnold of the Petersen era. But he's had a greater career (due in part to injury avoidance) than either of those guys.godawgst said:Keeping Budda here for Pete, was as important as coach James keeping Joe Steele here back in the day.

Joe was pretty damn good.
-
Budda's decommitment from Oregon was the initial push that got the wheels turning again.
It was the first shovel in the dirt of the Kenny Wheaton pick grave.
70-21 was the tombstone being etched.
Last night was UW pissing all over the grave. -
Budda is amazing , one of the top 5 DBs we have had but what is scary is Rapp as a true freshman might already be just as good.
-
Malloy was better than any of the 91 safeties rather easily. And I love Pahukoa and Smith.
But Budda is now the greatest UW safety of all time. -

I will say that Rapp is much more physical than I remember Buttah being as a frosh.Gladstone said:

Rapp is great, but Budda does some things Rapp will never be able to do. Budda will be the toughest player to replace next year.
As true freshman go, Rapp has probably been better than Budda, but it's a tough comparison. Rapp is on a better team with better talent around him. Both (as expected) greatly improved as the season went on.
They are both great. -
Just went back and watched Rapp's pick 6.
Budda goes from D to O immediately and throws a hell of a block to clear the way to the end zone.
Fucking LOVE our D!!! -
Death Row knows if they don't get score inside the redzone babushka will throw 3 fades and settle for a fg.CaptainPJ said:Just went back and watched Rapp's pick 6.

Picking a nit here but Budda hasn't really played much safety this year.dnc said:Malloy was better than any of the 91 safeties rather easily. And I love Pahukoa and Smith.
But Budda is now the greatest UW safety of all time.
Playing cover on the slot man 90% of the time this year. Will be interesting
to see if he plays as a slot corner in the pros or as a Earl Thomas guy.
He has been amazing since Kwitkowski moved him up towards the LOS.

Budda decommitting from Oregon after one visit from Petersen made me realize Petersen was the real fucking deal and we were in for a turn around.
