    So Dennis, I take it you won't be chairing the London Fletcher for HOF committee any time soon?

    But yeah, I hate tackles as a stat. It's like judging a pilot on how many passengers he's flown without accounting for how many made it to their intended destination and how many were still alive when he dropped them off.

    Exactly this. I don't HATE BBK. I just think he's better served as a situational depth guy against the lower tier of our conference...

    To me, the perfect linebacking corps for our current D would be something like (from the past decade)

    BUCK: Hau'oli Kikaha
    WIL: Shaq Thompson
    MIK: Donald Butler
    SAM: Mason Foster

    I think Jackson could eventually approach the style of play DB had... but BBK is no Shaq.
    3 all Americans. The one that wasn’t was probably the best physically and also AN nfl starter. Our defense would score enough points by themselves if we had those Guys starting at the same time.

    I don’t think it’s unreasonable... these are all guys who we could get now (maybe with the exception of Shaq, but Kaho is similarly rated).

    I don’t see a real reason why Kaho, Sirmon and Tafisi aren’t just as good a combo as these dudes.

    If we could add Martin we could basically say if they all reach their fullest potential we just recruited that exact group.

    Completely agree that we could recruit those types of athletes. To have them all pan out at the simultaneously though is the hard part.

    The more you stack the better the odds like you say. It’s hard. Not impossible. USC did it with carrol.

    Great fucking sample size. Bama secondary sucks because they could not stop Watson. See how dumb I sound.
    Comparing UW to Bama is dumb.
  • BasemanBaseman Member Posts: 12,369

    He also ran over our entire fucking team. Our offense couldn't stay off the sideline.

    Please bring up how the linebackers were a liability vs asu this year. Can't wait to hear.

    Pettis and Ross couldn't generate space consistently vs bama, therefore our wr's are not good.
    Pettis created enough space. Nick Saban exposed a freshman lineman and Jake Browning and a 200 lb middle LB.

    BBK has lots of tackles because teams run at him. HTH.

    WINNER.

    You guys are so fucking stupid.

    Did you feel stupid for going full doog on Cody Bruns and Cort Dennison that you go the opposite way on BBK?

    Guy has played on two great defenses. He beat out talent to play. He’s fast. He covers well. He’s active.

    He’s not a great player, but you guys have gone full retard. He’s good and has been good basically his whole career.

    “He only makes tackles because they run at him.”

    “Saban exposed him even though Bierria and McIntosh were the ones that completely fucked up on the long run. We also had maybe 2-3 first downs after the Pettis TD.”

    “He’s the reason we lost to ASU and Stanford.”

    You guys are fucking retarded. Real talk.
