WTKA Roundtable 10/3/2024: Hamburger for Steak

Listen Later

56 minutes

Things Discussed:

L'shanah Tovah. Sorry this was late to get up; I had to bail to get to 10 o'clock services.

Seth & Craig on early to talk Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Indians.

Washington games past: origin of the The Wave when we played them in the '80s, played them a week before September 11th

Edwards and Mullings on the field together got the defensive reaction they wanted, but they blew the blocks.

Brian: Having trouble understanding the logic behind offensive decisions. They changed QB when there were constant obvious errors from the starter but not center, not right tackle? We're not seeing practice so something there has to make this make sense.

Why aren't they calling QB runs? There was one vs Minnesota, preserving hits makes little sense.

Orji missed some major reads, even when they were easy.

When they run the plays that fit their personnel it looks like they haven't repped them. They're running 9th grade versions of their wheelhouse things, and aren't running the constraints to them.

At the very least: called Orji runs, and have Donovan Edwards and Kalel Mullings on the field all the time.

Defense: fine. Took few gambles, none of them worked.

Sam: Only thing that makes sense is they want to keep hits off of Orji by not calling QB runs.

Washington: How is a team putting up 500 yards of offense not putting points on the board?

Craig's metrics say they should beat Michigan by 4 TDs.

UW's offensive line is Not Good. They have a QB and an RB and a WR but they shoot themselves in the foot with penalties and missed field goals and blocked field goals.

Brian: This is a trap for Michigan. Washington has been playing better than their record, Michigan's been playing worse than their record.

Husky Stadium: Very loud stadium. Michigan fans WEAR MAIZE to break up their purple-out. Another new challenge for Orji (but he played against Washington last year).

Matchup of the game: Michigan's defensive line has to do to UW what they did to USC.

Washington is going to tempo: Michigan wasn't lined up correctly when Minnesota did it.

Michigan: You have to play 4 quarters, can't fall apart in the 3rd quarter.

Officiating last game: Bad calls gave Gophers 10 points: hands to the face was one of the worst calls of the decade, can't fault them for missing the non-catch on the Hail Mary. Minnesota tried to make the onside kick a thing but they had two other reviewable penalties on that play so if they don't call offsides Michigan calls for a review and they still rekick it.

Washington defense: what you see is what you get.
