I like the DB talk in here, but UW's LBs aren't playoff caliber either at the moment. DeBoner needs to shore that position up, too.

 

[AtomicDawg]

The depth at CB will be much better next year. Another impact CB or safety would be great and is needed. It would be nice if we didn’t have to win shootouts.

I like the transfer at cb. On the other side, I just hope they can find someone. I'm not a big Powell fan and he's the best we have. Have to hope a freshman steps up

I checked out the JC CB’s hudl as well and he looked good. Physical player. Hopefully it translates. Simply adding those guys to the mix and the other guys being a year older should lead to big improvements if the coaching is there.

I don’t trust the DC’s to call a game or the juice to coach up the db’s. I saw stupid coverages called and just horrible recognition from the players throughout the season. Average 40 plus a game and they could improve enough on defense to win the conference though. They will absolutely cost us a game or two next season, book it.

I'm in good position to be first and right about Dixon. I bet he's right there at the top of the depth chart if not a starting corner at some point this year.

LIPO

None of the DBs developed or played well under Harris and Brown besides those who were already talented like McDuffie and Gordon

Cook and Turner easily had their best years in 2022. It could be coaching, strength/conditioning, or scheme, but they moved in the right direction this year

People forget how green and injured the corners were at the beginning of the season.

Perryman ended up being a disappointment and he needed to play better (then got hurt).

The new guys all showed flashes, but I do agree next year they need to evolve into a good unit.

The Oklahoma State transfer is an immediate starter.

At the other corner slot, we have Banks, Green, Powell, the JC guy, two 4 star freshman, and a few 3 star newcomers ALL competing for 1 spot.

It is entirely possible that the secondary become a strength, or at least, not a liability.

A season with no improvement is LIPO. They could and should be better next year with basic talent upgrades. Doesn’t mean they’re going to learn how to develop talent.

Lake was a dumbass head coach but as a position coach his secondary typically improved, recognized tendencies and routes, and understood leverage in coverage. Saw very little of that last year. It is possible that the untalented kids in the secondary were also dumb in the film room, but I blame the coaches for that.

Again, LIPO

They might be able to coach the kids they recruit instead of the leftovers from Harris/Brown. Those kids were recruited to be in a scheme where a safety was always lined up 30 yards off the ball, so we might not have any decent CBs that can play man coverage. Then again, they might not be able to develop a secondary

Either way, it'll be interesting

 

[RaceBannon]

I know I'm a doog but all phases of the team improved over the season

But I get the thought that the secondary still was bad at the end

The pass rush saved them

Disagree. The punting did not improve

TIL punting is a phase of football

If by improvement in the secondary you mean the emergence of the dropped pass I would agree. The coverage still sucked.

Fun fact I learned from Sark while being interviewed by Softy. UW punted only 21 times all year prior to the bowl game.

Christian Caple mentioned this a couple of times. Least in FBS this year and the lowest in FBS since like 2007 (excluding COVID year).

 

[NeGgaPlEaSe]

Why punt when the defense is going to give up some ass no matter where you are on the field

 

[1to392831weretaken]

And those 21 punts netted 15 yards. Total.
