Game week! What do you want to see?

[Palatine]

Looking forward to my off season football fix.

Especially want to see the new QBs. Would also be very nice to see an cohesive offensive line.

 

[gioff23]

We need the OL to step up more than the QBs. We've been successful with mediocre/bad QB play, we can't compete with mediocre/bad OL play. Time for the big boys to step up.

 

[pepband99]

Competent offense of any kind.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Oline legitimately hold a pocket, and hopefully some Newsome screen passes (an under-utilized resource in my opinion last year) to the end zone. With that being said, I cannot make it this year after getting to the last 3 of them unfortunately. Does anyone know if it'll be available online/televised? I've checked AllAccess, SNY, and ESPN3 and haven't found squat. Not too hopeful.

 

[Chin Diesel]

A scrimmage where the word ineptitude isn't mandatory in the first paragraph.
The past four seasons have taken all hope out of me. I'm stuck in "show me" mode.

 

[Forte]

- The Oline giving the QB more than 1.5 seconds and getting push for the RB's

- Sherriff looking poised and unstoppable giving us CLEAR separation at QB. It's just a scrimmage but hopefully these players are taking it seriously for playing time next season...

- Vanilla or not an offense that resembles NOTHING like the past 4 years

- Ron Johnson appearing to be our next Donald Brown

- Arkel being used in the slot more.

- Stewart's "backup" being lightening fast and making good reads

- I know this may be asking for too much but lets add to this list the ability to successfully execute a screen pass play.

 

[SubbaBub]

Defense pressuring the QB and the QB making plays.

RB'S getting to the second level with some consistency.


Reasons: all we really now about this team from last season is the D can clog the middle on running downs and the QBs didn't handle pressure well.

Since we didn't rush the passer well, I can only take so much from the line's pass protection. I'm assuming it will still be a weakness, so making plays under pressure will be a positive.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Tailgating, sunshine and a good time. I don't expect much from the game. Hopefully, some option reads, some long runs and a few bombs.

 

[Bonehead]

The question is do you still want to see Tim Boyle or have you moved on to the backups??

I want to see if Arkeel holds on to the ball.
More of Ron Johnson.
Which WR is the go to guy.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Here is what I want to see....the game online.

Anyone know if that option is out there?

I would love to see anyone who makes good decisions and throws. If I could watch a three step drop where the ball comes out accurately as the third step hits the ground that would make my day.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

I'm really hoping to see some improved O-Line play and a beautiful day. I am not expecting much from our QB play. But if we can block properly, we might just have a chance to establish a run game and possibly even a few passes a game? I'd settle for that.

This is the first time in awhile I feel like we've had some OL coming back, so here's hoping.

"Separation"

 

[huskypantz]

The sun and warmer weather has cleared the way for me to head down with my 3-year old, neighbor and his kid as well. What I don't want to see: confusion. I'd like us to be well-organized and appear to know what we're doing on both sides of the ball. I'd like to see a few gaping holes opened up by the o-line. I want to see players make plays. And I don't want to shake my head in disgust when the QB throws the ball.

 

[uconn34]

If Boyle is ready, go with him. If not he has had his shot.

Thought I had a business trip to Littleton, MA all lined all up this week from TX so I could attend my first Blue-White game, but it fell through. What I want to see is the actual game live. But short of having it broadcast on-line, I want to hear that it's played fundamentally sound, fiercely competitive, and that the O is able to sustain drives and at least score when it has to.

Looking more and more like my request for sunshine will pan out, especially after such a dreary week... Getting excited!

I've been looking for the same thing for a while, and finally, they posted - it looks like it'll be free on huskies all access starting at 2:30:

Burgers, Beers, Sunshine, Friends, Family...

Oh, the game could be cool too

 

[Dooley]

My list, in order of my personal preferences:

1. Sunshine - it's been a long winter;

2. QB play - we've heard Shirreffs can run, but can he throw? Has Boyle found some much-needed touch? What can Davis do when he hits the field?

3. OL - how will the unit look without Coach Foley? They improved as the season progressed after beginning last year as, perhaps, college football's worst unit.

4. DB - is Jh Williams ready to take the progressive steps into being a lock down corner in his JR season? Is Obi ready to sacrifice making a big play for making a smart one? Will Adams play free or strong? Who is going to line up out wide on the other side?

5. LB - if Stewart hasn't learned to take proper tackling angles, who will replace him? Is Diggs ready to see more reps?

6. DL - we know who our NT are, but who are our edge pass rushers? Will be able to generate pressure without sacrificing too many LBs or DBs?

7. RB - has Newsome learned to identify blitz schemes and what is his priority list in blocking assignments? We know Ron Johnson is a beast, will we see any 2 RB sets?

8. WR/TE - assuming we can identify a QB who can get the ball out on time and accurately, who is ready to emerge as a #2 behind Thomas? And who might step up inside the red zone?

I want to see an actual effective pass rush

Confidence, Control, Leadership, Power, Speed...
