Thanks. I guess he didn't hesitate. He just misunderstood his angle, swerved inevitably upfield, then was so slow he barely got a hand in him. All this happened in a very small space. He really, really sucks. That play would've gotten a 12 year old benched.

As obviously bad as this is, his positioning and technique defending runs up the middle is even worse. He doesn't even try, doesn't crouch or bend his knees, stands straight up on his heels and swings his arms around without even getting a shoulder or stiff-arm onto an opposing OL.
Linebackers are supposed to crave contact, not avoid it at all costs. His technique is terrible. Fire the LB coach.
Punters and place-kickers are tougher than Sirmon right now.

The more I seen this the more I wonder why this guy is even on the team. So bad. He doesn't deserve the neck roll
That angle is fucking atrocious.

And yet the defensive scheme relies on the TWO LBs to stop the run with only a couple DL in front of them, chase sideline to sideline, shed free interior OL blockers on inside run plays, set the playside edge and fill the cutback hole against outside runs, and cover 20 yards off the LOS where the safeties start their backpedal against the pass.
Ironic that Jackson Sirmon’s father, Peter Sirmon, was Cal’s DC in this game.
Peter Sirmon was a very good LB during the resurgence of Oregon football during the late 90’s . . . Unrecruited by UW out of Walla Walla, WA.
Went on to have a decent career (7 years) in the NFL, all with the Tennessee Titans.
Looks like Huskies recruited the wrong Sirmon . . .

When I played, you were taught not to break contain so that meant going for their outside. Most or all of your teammates are flying to the ball so make them slow down / cut-back to your onrushing inside help.
Watching this clip, it's first tough to tell if it was simply a bad D / good O play call or if Sirmon got distracted by the deeper receiver and blew his flat assignment. But what I do know is Sirmon goofed in his closing first and then lacked the athleticism to make up for it.
I don't know who will step-up next to Eddie. Tafisi is similar to Sirmon (with more upside though) and it's tough so far to assess Heimuli. I'd like to see more of him and Bruener and less Sirmon.

We chose Marques Hairston.
I just love it when you bring such insightful history lessons that no one here ever heard. I’m shocked to learn his dad played PB at Oregon and with the Titans.
Did anyone else know this?

YES! At minimum he should have been able to make the ball carrier step out of bounds. He didn't even need to push him that hard. Maybe he hit a patch of black ice or something? How do you even face your teammates after that?
He was dying to be a dawg and wasn’t offered due to PAC 10 imposed scholarship limits. You’re welcome for the stimulus package to your cartoon empire.
