Message: [QUOTE="SwingDog, post: 4387094, member: 7919"] I like your thoughts on what we can likely expect, and what we have to gain here. The Huskies have to develop a workable and effective passing game in order to be competitive with quality opponents like Michigan, and even to beat mediocre teams. This is the time to begin putting it together. ZT needs protection in order to stay in the pocket and make sharp and timely passes, and we need guys who can get open. I'm okay with the focus on a shorter passing game for now with the occasional longer pass play to keep opponents on their toes, but we HAVE to start doing it. With lesser talent and experience than Michigan, we have to play smart football to compensate as much as possible. Overall we are protecting the ball better, which is good, but we have to play with intelligence and intentionality out there and try our best to play our game rather than let the opponent shake us from our game plan, resulting in costly blunders. This week I would also like to see us putting Michigan further backfield on punts rather than having them start their drives already near midfield. That's a killer. [/QUOTE]
