Ten things I want to see happen during spring ball

I guess one thing we'll learn this year about Pete is whether he gives Browning a retirement tour like he's Kobe or whether Pete acknowledges Browning's last year here means there is nothing more to offer him than just to hand the damn ball off and wait for Eason.Dennis_DeYoung said:
The ratio is not a good enough number here.Meek said:
I actually do expect the ratio to change based on having Gaskin and Ahmed in the backfield and an o-line that can push and pull better than pass protect. That ratio could be deceiving if there are a lot of screen passes to Gaskin and McClutchens though.haie said:I doubt the overall offense is going to change. Unfortunately, the run pass ratio probably won’t either.
However, I don’t think we’re stuck with the jag shitshow from last year. The coaches aren’t completely retarded: those guys only did anything against Utah and Colorado two talentless, worthless programs.
It’s going to be Jones, Bryant, and Osborne with Gaskin and Chico back. Ahmed too. That’s enough talent to bail out Browning.
IDGAF if we are up on Oregon State and run the ball 54 times in the second half.
I would really like to see us run the ball enough to become good at it. I’m not sure we ever really do that. We are all-in on the “Jag of all trades, master of none” offense that helps you when you have no talent, but hinders you when you have to actually be good at something.
Even though it’s not perfect, a better number is our r/p ratio at the end of the first half.
We are very fortunate to be killing most teams these days and so the second halves of 40% of our games don’t matter much.
What I would really like to see is Sosebee, Harris and Roberts start on the interior vs. Auburn and us pass every down. We’re never winning that game anyway and we can maximize the rest of our chances to win. -
Bush recruited Bynum, Jones and Cook so hopefully that will help

Lacerated Spleen has been working harder than ever and deserves to see the field early.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Disagree on Dotson. I want him to learn how to play. He is the best pure athlete on the team. Getting unkown rare athletes and turning them into football players is suppose to be what Petersen is good at.

Wow never thought that someone would used Hondo and effective in the same sentence, but it worked. Bravo DDY

Mickens was a mediocre athlete compared to Dotson.Meek said:

4.51 40, 35 1/2 inch vert, 10 foot 1 inch broad. He excelled at the lateral movement drills, but otherwise nothing special. -
So wait / you think being a good athlete makes you able to be a good football player and it’s just coaching that is the difference?Bread said:Disagree on Dotson. I want him to learn how to play.

What the actual fuck?
Talent in football is having the ability to do the intuitive parts of football. Making people miss, getting people off balance, etc.
Sure you can teach a method to that, but if you don’t have an intuitive feel for how to play CB you aren’t talented just because you have a good 40 time.
That’s the difference between “track speed” and “football speed”.
Contrary to what morons who love the underwear olympics think - track shit does not predict being a good football player.
Yes - if you are ALREADY a good football player, verifying that stuff is useful. But it doesn’t mean you can BECOME a good football player.
Jomon isn’t a good football player. He doesn’t get football. He never makes anything happen.
Great players show flashes early because they get it, they just aren’t consistently producing the conditions that catalyze greatness. Jomon has never done one fucking thing that says he’s good at football. Not one.
His best play as a Husky is running in a straight line vs Oregon. That’s it.
He sucks.
