    Starting after the bye week, we need to get some true freshman into the rotation. Tuli, Taki, Sirmon, Tafisi, Kyler, Irvin, Dom, etc will all have big roles next year so it'll be beneficial to get them game experience this season.

    I assume you'll see plenty of the true frosh against OSU and WSU.

    Rapp has been dropping on draft boards and is a true junior. I think he is far less likely to go pro than Murphy

    I can't see why, he's played as well this year as ever. His tape is strong and he's going to destroy the combine.
    Yeah I haven't understood it either. But basically every mock now has him as a 3rd round pick.

    Most mocks didn't have Kevin King until like the 5th round. Then he destroyed the combine and soared up.

    I imagine Rapp will do the same.

    Obviously I'd be thrilled if he comes back, then would change the whole feel of the secondary next year. I don't think he will though.

    Rapp's going to medical school not the NFL

    Miller and Murphy aren't as good as advertised. JoJo is really meh. BBK is good but not a big loss.

    What we need is a change in scheme. Hopefully all these badass DTs we redshirted are physically ready next year. Gaines and Vea were their sophomore years.

    This. I'm really tired of the the whole DBU thing. Since when has the basis of great Husky defenses been the back end? I want to see us get back to Husky roots of being a great front seven who smother you with pass rush and are ass kickers upfront. Because of the DB rep we have evolved into a bend don't break group instead of an attack defense. Fuck the 5 DB
    base defense and lets get back to actually recruiting defensive ends. Jesus if you ever got good enough to face Bama or OSU
    they's run it up your asshole on 1st and second down with that 5 DB scheme. Plus if you have an actual pressure defense your DB's don't have to be NFL caliber. Plus Jimmy Lake is a short termer anyway.

    I think we'll be about the same next year. A PAC 12 title contender, but not a truly great team.

    We should be a little better on offense. Our front 6 (yes I typed 6 on purpose) on defense will be a major question mark.

    He'll get brownie points foe tutoring other players for the wonderlic and get into the late second round ...

    Sorry, can't "convince you otherwise."

    Shitty recruiting on defense (except for DBs) is now catching up with us. Opposing QBs will have the cleanest uniforms in the building for the next year-and-a-half.

    Does the Heart of Dallas Bowl still exist?

    I believe it's the Beef O'Brady Bowl now.

    I'm not sure what a Beef O'Brady is. I'm assuming it's a canned product. Probably a cross between Dinty Moore and Beef-a-roni.

    Either way, 2032 is going to be special.

    Wtf are you guys are on? Rapp is putting out outstanding tape this year. He is doing what his DC tells him to do. Not his faul they ask him to line up 30 yards of the ball.
