Jenkins sounds like a great addition. He seems to be really on the ball.....pardon the pun. He said he could not believe how crazy good Witherspoon was...

Knight's biggest issue seems to be to get bigger to take on blocks

All of that should be worth another 4-5 wins so i guess we should expect a 13-14 win season.

The reality is that if they bring the corners up and not give a 5-10 yard cushion they will get beat more often on longer pass plays. That is the trade-off. I'll take it because the end result will likely be the same but the D won't be on the field as long.

You really should educate yourself on what is going on. It just might turn that frown upside down.

That really creative part is what intrigues me. And somewhere? Pete Carroll is somewhere arguing simple is best and if you just play incredibly soft? The QB will eventually make a mistake because the game is really hard for offense!

Lockett on the new offense...

Yep it was like he was living in the past when a 50%+ completion % and more TDs than INTs was considered Good.

The let's play ten yards off the receivers so there is less of a chance of getting beat deep is such a let's play not to win concept. Let's play scared - lol

Well, the idea was that you let them get into the red zone then when everything gets compressed the short pass plays that got them there suddenly don't work and you hold them to a field goal (unless you can't stop them from pounding the ball into the end zone). The problem with that is that your defense is on the field for long periods of time and lots of snaps and they wear out later in the game.

It's that kind of stuff. It's great to have a new more complex offense. But until they really get comfortable with it, it can lead to busted plays that kill drives. You might not know it was a busted play in television, it just won't work. It doesn't make them better ot worse than PC's teams. But if they can come out at the beginning of the season and really run the offense smoothly that would be impressive.

“So I think we got to really be able to study the playbook and understand the different type of spots, because any of us could be in any given position at any given time, and that’s the cool part about the offense, but it’s also the tough part because that means that everybody has to learn every single spot.”

I have serious doubts about how effective Grubb's offense will be without elite players to run it like he had at UW. Geno won't have the time in the pocket that Penix had.
