The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and intern Harlan Grady - report from the visitors locker room in Husky Stadium after day 8 of Washington's fall camp.

After seeing a lot of fall camps over the years, and under more than a half-dozen staffs, the one constant is that the defense always holds early sway in camp and it takes roughly two weeks for the offense to get to the point where they're giving back as good as they get.

They've certainly shown explosive glimpses but the defense has been far and away the more consistent side of the football so far. And now that the second week of camp is upon us we're on high alert.

Starting with the offense, we talked about the guys that came back to practice, as well as the guys who were limited or unavailable, which gave opportunities to those behind them. A good example is Audric Harris. With some players not able to go full steam, like Rashid Williams, it's allowed the true frosh receiver to make a move, and he has.

The same could also be said for offensive lineman Kahlee Tafai. With Elishah Jackett and Zachary Henning unavailable today, Tafai took a lot more reps at right tackle, the same as what he did Thursday.

Before moving to the defensive side of the ball, the guys also talked about Demond Williams and how much progress he's made so far through 8 fall practices.

After a quick break, the talk turns to the defense and some of the players that stood out during Friday's workout, including Sacramento State EDGE transfer Deshawn Lynch, Zach Durfee getting some team work done while Lance Holtzclaw was limited, Thaddeus Dixon showing his physical side out on an island, and more.
