One elite QB away

Baseman said:

I'd rather have a pair of 6'4 310 pound road grading Guards, a pair of 6'2 230 pound healthy thumpers at linebacker, and a pair of beastly edge assassins. Then we can upgrade Brownsocks.

As much of a shitty recruiter Chris Strausser is, I think he will develop Wattenberg and Roberts (please god let this be true). We might have decent OL next year, if those 2 are our starting guards.

Victor and Keishawn will be back.

I curious to see how our edge guys develop. From the pictures/videos I have seen, Potoa'e, Warren, Rice, and Pulu looked physically ready to play that position (whether they can play is another story).

You might get your wish

Roberts and Watty might turn out ok but I'm looking for the guy who has to stop and adjust his package every few steps he takes because he's got swag and his balls are so big. The kind of guy who walks in the first day, smiles in the Lockeroom and then goes out and rips your tits off and takes a swing at you if you get offended.

He's the kind of guy you motherfuck in practice but when the games start, you're glad he's on your side. He's the guy who punches opposing DL and LBs in the dick and doesn't get caught. He's the guy who knows when to take selective cheap shot at the opposing DL who ran past one of our younger lineman, sacked our QB, and is dancing around in the backfield. He's smart enough to do it early in the game so it doesn't hurt his team.

I'm not sure that guy is on our roster today.

Hard to find a OKG with that type a trait. I am all for what you want. I just don't think Peterman will offer player like that.

If only we had the Pac-12 player of the year

Jake benefited from having Ross around. Ross made our whole offense look potent. With him leaving we will average 10 points less.

Hi, Kim!!!

HEYYYYY!!!

Disagree. Our mystery Guard is a team first guy who hates losing more than he likes winning. A good student. Articulate and well mannered in public. He's the kind of young man all the older women in the AD wish their sons could be like and the one the uber diners want sitting at their banquet table telling sanitized tales of how the Dawgs won the big game.

I think you are forgetting that Strausser is our coach. I don't think he can close the deal.

Penn State had ONE sack and ONE hurry on Darnold.

Give Browning that level of protection and he'll kill it.

Darnold is the truth no doubt. Don't mean to insinuate anything else. But, it's my opinion that if Browning ever starts getting USC level protection consistently, his performance will increase

I like to pretend Nick Harris isn't going to start next year because he played poorly against Alabama.

I hope Nick can go beastmode this offseason. I absolutely love that kids grit. I will forever think it was stupid though that a 260 pound freshman had to start this year. But if he can get up to 285 and keep his moxie, we might have something with him. Kid has huge balls. You can't teach that. He has got to get bigger though.

That's some old, rich, and white speak right there. I like it! Next time work in "plucky" as that also describes Harris.

If you can't see the difference in arm strength and cajones, there's not much I can do for you.

As mentioned adnauseum, Browning is lethal at intermediate throws. Pettis, Ross, Mclatchery, were so good at creating yards after catch there really wouldn't be much reason to dial up 25 yard plus throws. That's when his accuracy dipped dramatically.

There is no question elite pass protection would improve Browning's game.

We agree. I think Jake could be devastating with elite protection, but I think we also agree he isn't getting elite protection next year, or likely the year after. OS the issue to me is to scheme it....whether short passes, rolling pocket...I have no idea, but my biggest issues with the team are that against elite defenses he gets rattled and then sucks, and we do not have an elite OL to fix that, so we must scheme for it, and Smiff is too stupid to figure out how to do it. In closing, can we just light Smiff on fire?

I'm certainly full agreement about Smith. He is without question the weakest link in the coaching staff. Never was a fan of him coming with Pete from Boise.

UW virtually beat the same USC team on the road against a senior QB who actually looked decent in the NFL this year shockingly. UW had chances to win at home this year, but simply didn't get it done. Im Telling you the vibe wasn't right for the team that day. Something was off.
