DL is the worst it's been since Pete had been here. LB is very concerning.
DB is all new. Good but very very young.
OL should be marginally better. Trey back but lose McGary.
QB is new. I know... he's not JB so should be better.
RB ...sigh. Salvon is not an every down back. No bellwether back
WR has to be better, right? Young kids is all you have.
TE is a stud.
Can special teams be any worse?
Need way too many young guys to step up to think this team wins any more than 8-9 games. OOC schedule should be 3-0. Most big games at home sans Stanford. -

I'm concerned about safety and LB if beavers and Wellington aren't healthy.

If we go 5-4 in conference next year shut the program down. Good hell have some confidence.TommySQC said:

RB looks shitty. Salvon only works as a compliment. Pleasant and McGrew are not great. Davis? Christ.

He gets more credit than he should on this board. He is a playmaker yes but the guy does not take the yards that are there and at times runs like he doesn't want to get hit. He's got a ways to go. Hope he figures it out.backthepack said:

Everyone was freaking out about rb the year Sankey stepped up. Same thing with gaskin.
Players get better. See: Coleman, Lavon.
Gaskin averaged under 5 ypc this year and wasn't healthy for a third of the year. The overall production is not likely to drop that much.
Please find 4 losses in this dosghit conference. This is a 10-3 team floor with the potential to be better if Eason is what he was billed as out of HS -

We? Have lost 1 game at home over the last 3 years. I'm going to assume we lose 1 at most this next year.
That means we'd need to lose 3 road games.
BYU is terrible.
Colorado is terrible (just fired their coach)
Oregon State is well... Yeah
That means we go 0-2 vs Arizona and stanford and lose an additional game.
Fire Petersen if that happens -
Valid criticism. He needs to clean that up. But the talent is clearly thereAtomicDawg said:

@Stan and SC could easily be losses. Oregon returns everyone as does WSU. Those are possibilities. -
We’ve had the best D in the PAC-12 four years in a row. That includes the year after Shaq, Shelton, and Peters were drafted in the first round. There may be some growing pains at the beginning of the year, but we should be fine.
The offense should be better at every position outside of RB. Even if we regress slightly defensively, the offense should more than make up for it.
I assume special teams will be better, but that is mainly because I don't see how Petersen could allow it to get any worse without making some changes. -
I could see 2019 finishing really strong. There is good talent but damn there's just too much in question. Young guys aren't always better.dawgs206 said:We’ve had the best D in the PAC-12 four years in a row. That includes the year after Shaq, Shelton, and Peters were drafted in the first round.

I agree with this to some extent. By and large we? are replacing a lot of proven, lower ceiling talent (e.g., BBK) with a bunch of unproven, higher ceiling talent (e.g., Heimuli/Sirmon). I expect to see a lot more splash plays and a lot more boneheaded plays on D. Our ground game inside the tackles scares me, and unfortunately I think we? end up passing a lot more. I think next year's record is close to this years. Maybe 2 losses in the PAC and 11-2 heading into our 4th straight NY6 bowel?TommySQC said:

I think we use the RPO game a lot more next year. browning sucked at it cause he couldn't make quick decisions nor had the zip to throw an effective slant. Eason will have the ability to pull it and zip it to jones or hunter over the middle.Woof said:

Team might be worse next year but schedule is a whole hell of a lot easier next year. Also have 2 bye weeks and no road games with teams coming off of a bye.

How will we replace Feeney and Littleton?
We haven’t. But overall the defense is better. -
Ya retards are focusing on the wrong thang, brownsox is graduating (praise allah!!) that is an addition by subtraction

RB looks shitty. Salvon only works as a compliment. Pleasant and McGrew are not great. Davis? Christ.
That's some serious fucking dooging.
I'm with you brother. -
Offense will be much better, defense will certainly be worse. But there is really good young talent and I still think it's going to be the best defense in the conference.
All the hand wringing about RB kills me. RB is the easiest position to replace and the easiest to insert someone young. Pleasant, McGrew or Ahmed all have enough talent to make the All Pac team if they're the back of choice. None of them are Gaskin but they're plenty good enough in this offense/with this line.
OL will be as good or better (losing McGary but you get a full season of Trey and everyone else is a year older).
WRs will be much better (Jones takes another step, Fuller/Baccelia take another step and/or more young guys move into the rotation).
TEs will be much better (full season of Hunter).
But the key is going to be Eason. If he's the kid who played for Georgia we'll looser 3 games and hate everything. If he's a legit star this team might not lose until the playoff. The schedule is that good.
My guess is the defense gives up around two more points a game but the offense scores 6 or 8 more points a game.
We'll be better. -
McGrew and Pleasant are Jags. Pleasant has looked good/okay but almost every team in the Conference has a running back as good as him so therefore he’s a jag.
Ahmed isn’t a true bellcow. Im more worried about the RB position than most. Next year we have to get Sam Adams and another good back. -
Overall the team will be better next year. Like others have mentioned the D will take a step back but will still be the best in the PAC.
Having a good (hopefully great) qb will be the key. Browning is just so fucking limited and our offense was beyond terrible this year. -
Pleasant is plenty good.GOAT said:McGrew and Pleasant are Jags. Pleasant has looked good/okay but almost every team in the Conference has a running back as good as him so therefore he’s a jag.
Ahmed isn’t a true bellcow. Im more worried about the RB position than most. Next year we have to get Sam Adams and another good back.
RB is a JAG position. -
The key is Eason. Or whoever wins the qb competition.
If he adds that dimension to the offence that was missing with brownsocks then the running backs will profit and have way more room and opportunity to run wild. We'll see... -
You can survive with a jag at RB.GOAT said:McGrew and Pleasant are Jags. Pleasant has looked good/okay but almost every team in the Conference has a running back as good as him so therefore he’s a jag.
Ahmed isn’t a true bellcow. Im more worried about the RB position than most. Next year we have to get Sam Adams and another good back.
I'm not sure McGrew is a jag -
Pleasant is fine but would not play for Bama, Georgia, and Clemson and that’s pretty much what I’m judging my opinion on. Disagree that RB is a jag position. With a Deandre Swift, Elijah Holfyfield, Najee Harris, Josh Jacobs, Damien Harris, Etienne etc. we beat Cal and Oregon this year.

It’s going to be the first year of the Kwat/Pete era that UW didn’t have the clear cut best set of DL in the conference heading into the year (and almost certainly the last). That’s the primary concern, as well as potentially some lack of depth at LB and the secondary.WeakarmCobra said:

OTOH, the points in the 19 defenses favor are a) edge rushers! b) bad luck this year lead to few turnovers, we should force more next year (especially in light of a) c) special teams almost certainly will do a better job of setting the defense up with field position (regression to the mean if nothing else).
Like I said I think it will be the best defense in the Pac, just not as good as this years.
