Phil Steele constantly says that one of the biggest offseason indicators of offensive production is returning OL starts. UW has a pretty healthy lead here for P12 teams, ranking #9 nationally.

    I gave it a chin because even though it is doog gospel used to make us too young again, this time it shows we should have high expectations

    Exactly. This should have been my OP.

    I want to believe our OL will be better, but I can't get the image of, BAMA or USC blowing through our line to harass Browning, out of my head.

    The only optimism I have is that our coaches have a record of improving the players each year...

    Vs BAMA we got beat they just had better players. Vs USC it was stupid ass play calling by babushka. Why the fuck we abandon the run against SC is beyond me.

    Five players from the Bama front seven were drafted into the NFL...












    ...in the first 78 picks.

    And a couple of those dudes fell because of off the field concerns. They were better college players than their collective draft position.

    Breaking in new guys in the secondary be damned. With this level of talent on the line, we gotta win big in 2017 and re-establish the brand as a winning one. Win the North and get to a New Year's Six Bowl is the minimum acceptable outcome.

    Okay fine but... I want our OL to be good enough to put them all on their asses like no other team they've faced.

    Am I expecting too much?

    Not getting my hopes up until 2022 which will be special. Husky Stadium tells us we? only win the natty about every 31 years or so. 2017 is too soon.

    Wanting and expecting are different things.

    And that may have been the best front 7 of the Saban era at Bama.

    Okay, but I did see at least one game that BAMA played against... (I forget, maybe it was Mississippi), where the other team did a stout job of holding back BAMAs defensive rush. I'd be content with our OL playing that well.

    I'll have to look for the game if it is on Youtube.

    Found it. It was Old Miss. Their OL played BAMA much better than ours did.

    I'm happy we have optimism for the group, but I want to see them play better agains the elite teams.

    If you score 70 against shit teams and 7 against good ones, you are awful. Jack Pardee level bullshit.

    Pretty much nailed it. Except the alcoholism part. Other than that, spot on.

    I don't like you appearing to have a life and not posting here much. You really need to fix this shit and quit your damn jerb.

    I hate Smith as much as the next bloke but I will low key defend him a little bit vs Sark. You think Sark would do what Smith did vs Colorado in the P12CG? The 2nd half we ran the ball 95% of the time and shoved it down their throats. Of course the first half was one of the most poorly called offensive games you'll ever find. They both suck.

    Game was already over due to Sefo injury and Taylor Rapp.

    The playcalling vs USC and Bama was even worse than Sark level.

    And then the little fuck throws 3 straight times at the two yard line simply to pad Browning and Ross' stats.
