Husky Jacks open thread [2019]

Hugh said during closed practice he saw, that it was extremely clear that Eason is the best QB on the field. Said it looks like he is starting to feel comfortable and it’s starting to match his physical traits. Throwing crisp balls, and far hash throws that we haven’t seen the last 4 years.

I listened again, and it was actually Saturday’s open practice, not Sunday’s closed.

“I thought it was one of his best days, his most significant days of separation (from the rest of the QB’s). I thought he was absolutely, clearly, the guy.”

“He was patient. He can generate velocity without having to get his body into it. (Knock on Haener and Browning if I’m reading it right).”

Knock on both Haener and Browning, but specifically Browning. Haener has a better arm than Browning, which was the basis behind the clamoring for Haener next year. The difference is that Eason's is wayyyy better.

Agreed, but I was also considering Coker’s recent analysis. He mentioned Haener drops down a foot when he throws because he’s getting his entire body into the throw. It takes him from 6 foot to 5 foot.

So while Haener has a better arm than Browning and shows some zip, he still has to put his entire body into it where as easy just flicks and it’s a fucking rifle. Which is what it felt like Hugh was alluding to.

Similar sentiment from another source. Damon Huard was on the radio in Portland:

"It's a tough call. It's super competitive. Jake Haener has a rifle of an arm. Sure, he's a hair under 6ft tall but he has that kinda big Russell Wilson hand. He can fire a football for sure."

"But then there are flashes of Jacob Eason, where I have never seen a Husky quarterback make a throw like that."

Literally the only reason I wanted Haener to be put in last year was because fuck Browning. I didn't honestly think Haener would be any better, but seriously fuck Browning.
 
Haener did nothing his first series so fucking Browning saunters to the phone just knowing he's going back in.

Picks up the phone and then turns and hands it to Haener and goes to sulk on the bench.

Haener goes back in and throws the game winner

Fucked up.

No McKinney?

McKinney sucks, injured, or Byrant, Molden, and Williams are that good?

Safety play might be a bit of a struggle if we cant get a pass rush at all like last year.

I think Cam and Myles are just that good.

I'd also say the drop off between Myles playing corner vs. our other guys is more negligible. Get the best five guys out there kind of move imo.
