Yes, great piece on him in the Times today. Lock and Penix are my two starters for my two fav teams for better or for worse and I'm stickin to it.57reasons wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 2:08 pmWalla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:37 pmI'm always wrong on these types of things, so I'll go outside the box..

Re: Who wins the wide open QB competition
So glad Lake is gone. They should change the name of Lake Washington to Washington Pond to remove all references to his name.Walla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 4:28 pmAnd it seems they set him up to fail. I say this because I think the first two times he went onto the field he was inside his own 5-10 yard line....and you know for a fact, that the other team will send the dogs when they have a 'fresh' quarterback with the goal line at his back.Michael K. wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 3:44 pmI don’t think he was over hyped, but I do believe he was poorly coached last year.D-train wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 11:17 pmSo was Huard over hyped because of his last name.

Morris needs to focus on his studies because he will need a degree when he enters the business world immediately after graduating.

Re: Who wins the wide open QB competition
I agree Huard was ser up to fail. Both the backups were. Morris would check out and they would then ask the left handed QB to roll right, and do the exact opposite if they checked in the right hander. It is almost as if they forgot which guy was under center!
Re: Who wins the wide open QB competition
My "inside guy" was at yesterday's practice. He wrote the biggest difference is in the tempo of the practice. Everything is faster. Huard easily has the best deep ball of the QB's. The secondary is playing closer to the line of scrimmage . . . we may give up more big plays but should be much tougher in the box. If we get the big guy back at left tackle and stay healthy we could be much better that advertised. Keep your fingers crossed.

I hope so. Last years 'like a sieve" defense really pissed me off.AZOldDawg wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 12:13 amMy "inside guy" was at yesterday's practice.

Re: Who wins the wide open QB competition
Watching the Huskies and Seahawks line up two yards BEHIND the first down marker and then BACKPEDAL at the snap? Has literally made me want to gouge out my eyes over the past couple of years. The only thing worse has been watching Dylon Morris look at ten men in the box and still go with the tailback dive play that his idiot coach called.Walla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 2:27 pmI hope so.

Along these lines, did anyone else hear the Bobby Wagner interview with Mike Salk this morning? I almost spit out my coffee when he was asked to comment on playing in a new defense and he said "I will still be manning the middle, making sure passes aren't completed over the middle." I was like, do you mean letting them catch the ball and tackling them a yard behind the first down marker? Because THAT is what you did here. Broke tackle records, on a defense that was incredibly terrible on third down. Give me a break. The next time he makes sure a pass isn't completed over the middle will be the first time in about three years.

High school stats mean squat. Look at Jacob Eason? Million dollar arm with 10 cent accuracyD-train wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 11:17 pmSo was Huard over hyped because of his last name.

Re: Who wins the wide open QB competition
I don't know that I agree with that. I think sometimes he had too much zip on his fastball, and sometimes he made piss poor decisions, but he was GROSSLY mismanaged while here. If accuracy was the issue they had an entire season to fix him. Do your damn job coaches! Jake Browning threw for one day at a camp before someone told him he wasn't using his legs. The Husky coaches watched him fire changeups for 4 years and didn't figure it out. Terrible, just terrible.Hasslecracked wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 4:03 pmHigh school stats mean squat.

Re: Who wins the wide open QB competition
yeah, Eason's biggest drawbacks were his lack of mobility and not quick enough decision-making; i wouldnt say his accuracy was that much worse than other quality starters. Now his completion percentage on the other hand is likely where that assessment comes from, but that was largely due to his receivers having like a 50% drop rate - not always because he threw too hard, though he does have the high-octane heater.Michael K. wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 7:54 pmI don't know that I agree with that.
