We're not at practice, but I agree. Hawk said he liked all of our QBs. Faulk appeared as mobile as HR, FWIW.

HR started slow today, but our O line then quickly collapsed.

Success! Maybe all those pass attempts, and going deep, opened up the run?

So far.

Defense - A-, just gashed 2x on runs
Special teams - B+, 2 solid returns, 1 missed FG
Offensive line - disaster

Castles?

HR was stellar game one.

Defense playing well, but only 1 solid offensive play.

HR 3 of 6, 1 pick.

Edit: Is our Offensive line beat up? (3 sacks taken already). Most seem from our Right tackle / guard.

It was good to hear Cody Hawkins accepted some responsibility for some not optimal play calling last week.

Defense.

No protection, bad decision to throw.

Dunning as color again on ESPN.

71-14 EWU. Barriere out?

Toke, I always enjoy your posts. Go Ags.

EDIT: EWU 63-14 = Q4 13:13 left.

Barriere 26 of 35, 600 yds, 7 TDs, 0 picks, 284.3 passer rating. Insane.

4 sacks, 2 picks, championship level execution.

I'm fine w his firing, though I don't agree on all points. Full scale audit - the Big Purge. Coaches, staff, players. Audit ten years of emails.

We apparently have email going back ten years. Hire an outside law firm / investigators, and search for any and all racist, homophobic, or misogynistic language from administrators, coaches, players, and take action. Right? Whether it's Tom Brady or Cam Newton. This should include anti Asian, Latino, and European racist language.

I believe having an opinion on non-players as coaches / refs (women), and kneeling at games, falls more into strategy and political beliefs.

If this is "who they are", do we want racist players - becoming racist coaches and staff? Along your thinking, better to just purge them for life before they gain "power" as staff, recruiting director, agent, etc.

Yes. (Not the shortened spring season.)

Should players be fired for life for bigoted and sexist remarks?

New York Post: Derek Carr thinks NFL should expose everyone’s private emails, not just Jon Gruden’s

"If we just started opening up everybody’s private emails and texts, people would start sweating a little bit. … Hopefully not too many,” Carr said on Wednesday. “But maybe that’s what they should do for all coaches and GMs and owners from now on, is open up. You’ve got to open up everything. See what happens.”

Should we do the same thing for college coaches and administrators?

Quickie math says we have 5 sacks this year (.83 PG).

Last year 14 sacks in 12 games, giving 1.17 PG.

Small numbers, but roughly a 35% difference.

Overall yardage allowed dropped from 444.37 game, to 427.8 per game.

Our increased number of turnovers likely the biggest impact, affecting everything else. About a 15% improvement in rush defense.

Easy improvements:

1. Don't come out FLAT.
2. Don't run UG up the gut 15 times in the first half. (Gould nightmares)
3. More quick hitters to get HR in rhythm?
4. Avoid TOs.
5. Don't have an inexperienced backup QB whio rarely throws, throw on 4th & 17. (He's Magic bc of his legs.)

I thought Nick Eaton was our Sack man. Not sure why his numbers dropped off, new assignment?
