Coke Notes From Scrimmage

My notes:

Really focused on the Petersen recruits today (True sophomores, RS freshmen and Tremue freshmen)

Browning has highest ceiling of the QBs, it's not really close. He made some terrific throws today, no picks for him either. One TD was about a 25 yard throw to back pylon and he fired it in on a line right over the db's head and into the arms of the WR, receiver barely had to lift his arm. Just beautiful.

Browning is a really interesting QB, really advanced in small details. Does a great job feeling the pocket, keeps his eyes downfield well and really understands safe throws. I have a feeling he'll be the type of QB that goes: 5 yard completion, RB run, 8 yard completion, 6 yard completion, 8 yard completion, RB run, 25 yard completion. He kinda lulls the defense and takes a shot.

Myles Gaskin is Bishop Sankey 2.0, I honestly think he is already the best natural RB on the team.

Petersen spent half the scrimmage on ST. I know it's against scout team, but I think our return game now, and especially in the future will be dynamic with the guys they have.

Mcgary, Adams, Burleson, Hilbers, Roberts, Sossebee... Really hard not to doog about the future of the OL.

Defense will be better as a unit this year. I think they're underrated.

Pounds, McClatcher, Renfro all play this year at WR.

I think the coaches love #MyTevis, he was on the backup punt protect team and he was the main protector, that is a ton of trust in a true freshmen to make the proper calls. He also happens to be good at football.

Freshmen that are not red shirting, imo: Gaskin, Joyner, Renfro, Tevis, McClatcher, Pounds, Adams, Browning. I think they might be able to redshirt Potoa'e (depth in front of him is pretty solid, he looks terrific though).

McClatcher will be a hardcore Husky favorite by the time the year is over. Unless he sucks. But he won't.

@Dennis_DeYoung will have to eat his words on My boi, Quinten Pounds.

Wouldn't worry about kicking game at this point, they had Three snappers getting reps today, including our own #DisslyDawg.

Greg Gaines had a good day, I really like our front and the depth they have. Lots of good talent.

I think Mickens was sick today, he came out late and didn't have his usual overly enthusiastic energy during pregame.

String cut his dreads and Adams mullet is just glorious.

The season is over, but if this team improves as the year goes on I'll be very happy. There are some ballers in Petermans first two classes.

With that said, I think we win the north by the 2017 season. I think we have the QB in line and everything else is coming into shape nicely too.
 
Great report, @CokeGreaterThanPepsi. Thanks for your work.

But KJV has stated over and over the Wild Swede is clearly the right choice at QB. I can't imagine he's wrong.
 
To summarize:
wait until Peterman gets his guys in there, two years from now will be special

I think some here have their head so far up their ass about freshman they can't see daylight. Christian Hackenberg was amazing as a true freshman. There are things that can't be taught, like pocket presence, awareness and reading routes know were receivers will be and the defense will not. This comes natural to some. For Cyler Myles it did not.

Here is a short list of true Freshman Qb's that were successful by statistical analysis. I'm almost certain all of these schools had better options at Qb than Linquist and Magna

Jeffrey Godfrey UCF 2010
Terrelle Pryor Ohio St 2008
Matt Barkley USC 2009
Kevin Kolb Houston 2003
Robert Griffin Baylor 2008
Tyrod Taylor Virginia Tech 2007
Nate Davis Ball St 2006
Spencer Keith Kent St 2009

Brad Kayaa was legit for Miami last year and beat out the legendary Jake Heaps.
 
Good analysis. Can you give us your thoughts on the Sark recruits?
I'm particularly interested in Damian Turpin, Corey Fuvai and Trevor Walker
 
The young OL fully erects my hibernating Doog, but given their youth, I'm concerned about Cascadia Fault redux.

I liked Browning also (I'm gonna call him, Jake the Snake). KJCS was by far the worst of the 3. Lungfish could be passable for short periods of time. Had a nice 30 yd throw on a play action roll out that Mickens flailed on and kicked up in the air for a pick.

I don't think Browning was great, but compared to last year, the little things he does well are such a huge upgrade, like hitting a RB out on a swing in stride, on time, so a 1 yard pass can go for 4 or 5, and he does seem confident. I could see guys respecting him, in spite of his age.

One play when he was running the 3rd string dreck, a WR lined up like 3 yards offside. I'm 100% sure Miley last year just snaps it, but the Snake (see) yells to the kid, backs him up, and runs the play.

As a beaten dawg for so many years, it just feels good not to be hit in the face.

This team is going to be awfully young. Cooper should just give up his schollie and make a killing buying beer for everyone else.

Turpin was with the threes, same with Fuavai. I think Walker worked in with the twos. They are what they are, I think Walker can help on special teams though.

Great recruiting, as always

How were they at waving towels and doing the lawnmower though?

He was actually backed off the LOS, Browning told him to scoot up to make it a legal formation. Still, glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that Browning caught that mistake, good eye @Alexis
 
This season boils down to two critical factors:

1) how much do the young players develop 1st half of year to 2nd half

2) how FS is Babushka and if he is as FS as many here fear, can Pete make the right call this offseason

There's far more talent on this roster than many give credit for ... The 2015 class will turn out to be the class that officially turns this program around
