Jaydon Mickens UW’s Biggest Surprise?

Hello everyone my name is Erik Erickson. I live in Mukilteo, Washington and graduated from Kamiak High School in 2011, where I played both basketball and baseball. I just finished my second year at Shoreline Community College. Next year I will attend the University of Washington where i will major in communications with an emphasis in journalism. I am a life long Husky fan and I hope to share my passion with the readers. Go Dawgs!

Harv would have a field day with this kid. Hi Harv!
 
It's early, but going from Dougherty to Kiesau coaching the WR's looks to be impactful. The WR's looked much improved under his coaching. Kiesau coached DaSean Jackson, Marvin Jones, and Keenan Allen. Dougherty was basically a frat boy faggot ($75,000) who would chest bump his players after a good play. He was a fucking clown, and I am glad we got rid of him. Kiesau may have been a bad QB coach, but it does seem like he can coach WR's.
 
I wouldn't say surprise. He was recruited as an "athlete" not a "wide reciever". Although that is naturally where a lot of athletes end up playing Sark figured out (fucking finally) to get him the ball in open space and let him make people miss. Not have him run legit Kasen-like routes and throw 40 yard passes at him constantly.

Hopefully as time goes on he can be coached up to start running in more routes to mix in with his play making bubble screens but for the time being just give him the quickly and let him operate with a couple people blocking for him.

Yup. Mickens made a play or 2 downfield, but his game isn't catching balls 15-20 yards downfield. I liked that Sark gave him easy catches that showcased what he does best which is making a guy miss, and getting upfield. He had 9 catches for 109, but he had a lot of plays that were glorified runs. He caught the ball at the line of scrimmage and gained 8 yards. Those are beneficial plays, and something Sark copied from Chip Kelly.

I didn't understand last year having bubble screens be to Kasen who is slow. I could never figure that one out.

Mickens last game reminded me of how the Seahawks use Golden Tate. Very electric in space and make defenders miss. Teams will eventually game plan to stop that but with Ross/Smith deep, Kasen on slants plus ASJ over the middle not to mention you still have Sankey and Washington the Huskies should be fine.

They should score 30+ in every game they play this year. I don't even feel like that's a far fetched statement either as most of the skill guys were all highly recruited players.
