"You know what guys? Fuck off with your fucking questions. Constantly asking the same shit, Jesus. I'm starting Haener because he is a scrappy try hard that doesn't have the physical skills, but damn it he tries hard! He reminds me of myself, also Eason originally committed to Georgia."
"Thanks Coach. Will UW ever win a big bowl game under your leadership?"
"As we say...no."

God I love Malloe. He's coaching with so much more confidence and swag now it seems. In the past, he seemed to be more careful with what he said, a la Bush. But now he's speaking more freely if that makes sense. Plus, his eyes light up when he talks about Taki and Tuli. Loved his comment in this video about how this year's DL and D is playing with more speed.

I bit the bullet and listened to one of the Doogman practice report podcasts a week or so ago. Half way through Eckturd said he "heard" that Eason threw 4 picks on a Saturday practice. But since Saturday practices are closed no one really knows. That is imo why they keep pushing the Haener is in front narrative. From what I have heard Eason is at 2 and Haener is at 6-7 with 4 or so pick 6's. I have also heard Eason and Haener are running different plays. Eason more down the field throws and Haener more Dak and dunk which explains a higher completion percentage.

For the defensive guys, there was definitely a lowlight of the chatter matchup. In the last portion of 11-on-11 drills, junior quarterback Jake Haener threw a ball over the middle, right to junior safety Brandon McKinney.[/b] The ball popped off of McKinney’s hands, up in the air, back to the line of scrimmage, and right into Adams’ arms.[/i]

Good thing our media is so useless. Does eason have 1 pick per joode or 1-4 a day per dawgman. If it is really only 1 why are they even bothering with Haener? # of turnovers has always been Pete's main criteria. Only reason I can think if is if they are really worried about Haner transfering.

Are we talking about passing drill reps?, 7v7 reps? Two hand touch scrimmage reps? Live scrimmage reps?
Anytime you get a couple of HH favorites like McKinney and Haener making plays like this it lightens the whole mood of the board

In Caple’s report today:
Malloe’s confidence is spurred at least in part by the progression of UW’s younger linemen, including those who redshirted last season and enter 2019 with a chance to make significant contributions for the first time.
Among that group, it has been difficult this spring to ignore Sam “Taki” Taimani, a 6-foot-2, 322-pounder who starred at Salt Lake City East as a guard but signed with the Huskies as a defensive tackle. He seems to force his way into the backfield once or twice per practice, proving particularly adept at stopping the run.
Taimani was one of several freshmen who took advantage of the NCAA’s new redshirt rule last season, appearing in one game with two tackles while preserving a year of eligibility. But UW coach Chris Petersen said Wednesday that if the rule hadn’t changed, Taimani might have been part of the d-line rotation all season and likely would have played far more.
“He was right there on the verge,” Petersen said. “He’s powerful and explosive. That’s really what it was. He did play some defense when he was younger, and he spot-played on defense (in high school) but was primarily an o-lineman. I know we would have taken him either side of the ball, for sure, offense or defense, but we kind of needed some d-linemen (and) he wanted to play there, so we went with that.”
During one of Wednesday’s many team periods, Taimani combined with linebacker Jackson Sirmon to apply pressure on quarterback Jacob Sirmon and force a throwaway. That was a few plays after fellow redshirt freshman tackle Tuli Letuligasenoa stuffed redshirt freshman running back Richard Newton from the 2-yard line (though Newton appeared to score on the next play). And this spring also has featured promising play from another redshirt freshman lineman, Mosiah Nasili-Liu.
“They’re already strong,” Onwuzurike said. “Now for them it’s just getting their techniques down, getting their pass rush down. For spring ball, they’re learning quicker than I did at a young age.
“They can hold doubles that I learned to hold last year, and they’re learning it way earlier. It’s just the way we’re coaching them. During the offseason, we’re doing extra work, so they’re just learning quicker.”
Indeed, Malloe confirmed, “we’re playing a lot faster. They’re understanding how their techniques work into the scheme. They’re trying to block out what Vita Vea and Greg Gaines were, and make it about Taki Taimani and Tuli — make it their own. By understanding that, I think that’s how they’re getting better.”

Caple Notes:
- Of the 95 reps, Eason and Haener took all but 17.
- Only 2 touchdowns: Haener connected with Salvon Ahmed on a fourth-and-goal pass on the final rep of practice, and Newton on a 2 yard run.
- Isaiah Gilchrist had a pick, settling under a fluttering “Hail Mary” attempt from Eason that seemed to slip out of his hand. That was during a two-minute period, with the ball snapped from midfield and only seven seconds remaining.
- M.J. Tafisi picked off a pass thrown by Colson Yankoff.
- Yankoff had one series of 11-on-11 work, with the third-team offensive line against the second-team defense. He completed only one pass on the drive, but did keep the series alive with an impressive 21-yard scramble on fourth-and-12 from the defense’s 31. You could see just how athletic Yankoff is in the open field, as he more or less ran away from freshman linebacker Josh Calvert, the closest player to him. Calvert batted away Yankoff’s pass attempt two plays later, and the series ended with Newton’s touchdown run.
- Sirmon was behind center for two series, completing two of his four pass attempts, and his first throw was nearly intercepted by Gilchrist, and his second series ended with a bad snap recovered by outside linebacker Joe Tryon.
- Gilchrist sacked both Eason and Yankoff from his nickel position.
- Potato continues to disrupt plays in the backfield, twice busting through the offensive line for an easy sack of the quarterback.
- I have a feeling opposing teams are going to continue to struggle to get anything accomplished when throwing into the flats against UW’s defense. Elijah Molden, who continues to play nickel with the No. 1 group, seems to swallow up anything thrown near the line of scrimmage, and made a particularly impressive play Wednesday on a completion by Eason to Andre Baccellia. Molden beat Hunter Bryant’s block attempt and forced a 3-yard loss on the play.
- Likewise, junior cornerback Keith Taylor doesn’t allow many passes to be completed in his area, and seems to bring a physical presence to his position, too.
- Cameron Williams busted into the backfield to drop Eason for a loss and successfully sniffed out a fly sweep to Chico McClatcher on the play after.
- Peyton Henry, who made all five of his attempts during 11-on-11 action — two from 35 yards, one from 30, one from 27 and the last from 33.
- No changes to any of the first-team personnel groupings on either side of the ball, save for the typical frequent rotation up front.
