Probably other contenders before my time, and maybe I'm forgetting someone more recent, but it seems like that's one of the few positions where UW has had very few elite players over the years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-61803501562564522642007-09-19T11:09:00.000-07:002007-09-19T11:09:00.000-07:00I don't think UCLA is as bad as they played last w...I don't think UCLA is as bad as they played last week, but I also think they are a team with a lot of problems that we can take advantage of. They remind me of 2002 Washington.<BR/><BR/>Ty's teams actually play better on the road than they do at home, so I don't think the Rose Bowl jinx will hurt us this time.John Berkowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506119469461963535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-40288886436753264092007-09-19T09:57:00.000-07:002007-09-19T09:57:00.000-07:00So with Utah's blowout of UCLA, are we in the same...So with Utah's blowout of UCLA, are we in the same position as Ore was when they played Mich? That is, win and so what, we beat a team that got hammered by Utah (App St). Lose and we lost to a team that was hammered by a lower level Mtn West (D1aa) team. <BR/> The UCLA injuries also don't hold much water, nor the fact that Ben Olson may not start. Too many times we have played a banged up UCLA without their starting QB, and we know the results in the RB. <BR/> That said, if UCLA oes play the true freshman at DT, with only 5 collegiate practices, I say run plays with misdirection and right at him and see what happens. Practice reports are that he is pretty good, but we owe it to ourselves to find out how good.<BR/> Wnen I saw Meamber at practice, you could tell it<BR/>hurt him to walk, all that banging around as a young guy eventually catches up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-33803484717166111082007-09-19T08:55:00.000-07:002007-09-19T08:55:00.000-07:00He makes a very good point about reading the guard...He makes a very good point about reading the guards when you are playing a predominate running team. All the action starts with those guys as they start pulling them. You would also think one of the coaches up in the box would be reading that, and making adjustments accordingly since they all know the Ohio State offense.<BR/><BR/>Tim played over twenty years ago, and things have changed to a certain degree because most teams simply don't line them up, and run over you anymore. <BR/><BR/>When he played the "I" formation was king, not the West Coast, or Spread offenses. Tim also had extremely strong support behind him which this team does not have. The Huskies are playing gap to protect the DB's behind them. You all saw what happened to Vonzell on a play when he was left unprotected didn't you?<BR/><BR/>What Tim say's though has plenty of merit, and should be considered by the coaches, especially Tormey who just happened to have benn one of Tim's coaches. Keeping an eye on the guards and mixing that with your other reads is very doable. Trapping by the way is a very good way to take on young linebackers. When it is working it is a thing of beauty.<BR/><BR/>Tim had his chance at a coaching career, Lambright brought him back as a GA, but it didn't work out because of extreme personal problems.<BR/><BR/>Meamber by the way while on the field has to go down as one of the best LB's we have ever had. He played with a lot of emotion.<BR/><BR/>Is Lambo too old, no, Jim could still help out as an advisor or coach if they wanted him to, but he is happy doing what he is doing. Jim was a great DC, and a fantastic guy. you have to remember that Jim has been out of the game for quite some time.<BR/><BR/>Should we be worried about this?<BR/><BR/>No, times have changed, offenses have changed, and while Tim brings up some good food for thought he is looking at things from a 1984 perspective, not a 2007 one.<BR/><BR/>I will give him this, he was correct about it on Saturday against OSU, but we won't play another OSU type team again this year.John Berkowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506119469461963535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-42612923853406509962007-09-19T08:36:00.000-07:002007-09-19T08:36:00.000-07:00have you read the interview with Tim Meamber over ...have you read the interview with Tim Meamber over at Dawgman? Great interview, and although I suppose Tim could be wrong about what he saw during the game, assuming he's right, it doesn't give me much confidence in Tormey/Baer's coaching. Should we be worried about this? Is Lambo too old to come back and wear the coaching pants again? He wasn't a great head coach, but man, he's the best special teams/D-coordinator I've ever seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
