Joel Klatt's Take On Udub
Comments
-
The Stanford broadcasters said in the first half UW was doing motion and shifts on offense that had Stanford completely fucked up and were getting 6 to 8 yards a play on average. Said UW came out in the second half and just lined up and ran simple shit that Stanford could stop
That's kind of opposite of the wisdom here that we do too much shit and not enough straight ahead. Which I always agree with. Maybe we aren't there yet to road grade folks. Still have to trick whip them, at least the big teams.
Or it could be we ran Gaskin a lot in the first half and not as much in the second
Or its hard
They also said we stopped pressuring Abbott Costello in the second half. Not the adjustment I would be looking for -
Serious question - who is Joel Klatt?
Edit: I live in the back cuntry -

I respect Joel as far as talking heads go.haie said:Some have shit on him before. Maybe he sucks as a game commentator, I don't know.
I do however enjoy his segment on a shitty local Portland sports talk show.
His overall take on UW was that the coaches have completely fucked this season over all by themselves.
1. Redzone against Auburn: the speed option was the worst play call of the season, by any coaching staff.
2. Oregon: not going for the juggular at the end was the worst end game decision, by any coaching staff.
3. Cal, you were still beating them and brought in your back up for the shits of it which single handedly lost you the game. 7 points are more than 6.
It's not like this all hasn't been brought up before but the entire package deserves some thought. We?'?re not one of the 4 best teams but the coaches have single handedly completely and totally, desolatingly fucking fucked us out of a playoff resume with only 3 in game decisions.
Regarding Stanford game, we? totally went into "don't lose mode" in 2nd half. RB run out of RPO every first down. No blitzing and minimal pressure applied. You can't expect coverage to hold up for as long as we? gave KJ Carta-Costello time to scan around and find his Paul Bunyan receivers and WTE's.
We? have an anemic offense with a 4th yr starting QB and the UW's all time rusher. We avg 24.6 pts a game. That is a disgrace in this conference or any conference for that matter (90th in cuntry in scoring.). Oregon State scores more per game at 26.2

We played like total pussies in the 2nd half, Costello did drop some absolute dimes though

There have been some questionable coaching decisions, but at the end of the day the main reason UW has 3 losses is that you just aren't that good this year. Cal sucks, you should have been up 35-3 at half if you were any good and then there's no room for coaching decisions to fuck it up. Same with Oregon and Auburn.

Give jake to much time, he goes overload stars overthinking. His first gut reaction is usually right, but he over processes thingsRoadDawg55 said:
From what I’ve seen, we are a lot better when we play with tempo and pace. We suck when we take a long time and think about things.AEB said:You have a team built for west coast, pro-style offense: under center, 2 TEs, power run game, play action intermediate passing game, and we get is full retard...and by full retard I mean you’ve had success running this offense, yet you continually go away from it to do fly sweeps, lateral passing, predictable bullshit.

Jake drops back plenty of time
Has an open receiver
Hes scrambling now and DROPPED for a sack -
I started to find myself getting annoyed at our DBs until I rememebered QBs are allowed to make throws.
