Hoping to get back to my DVR tomorrow and be able to really pick out some details of the game. But for now I am watching highlights I can find online, and soberly remembering a few more things I wanted to point out.
Here comes bullet... points (sorry)
- In the first recap I wrote about the speed of the D-line, especially the ends, but I neglected to mention the blinding speed the LB's showed. In particular Orie Lemon, Justin Gent, and Shawn Lewis. There were a few plays where Lemon blitzed up the middle and he was through the line shockingly fast. I already mentioned Gent in the first writeup, but to reiterate, he was not "Gent"le on the Cougs (uuggghh). I will have to watch the full replay, but from what I noticed on first watch Lewis was all over the field when he was in the game. He ran down RB's on the opposite side of the field, and delivered a few nice hits.
- And speaking of fast, on Kendall's 66 yard run in the 2nd I couldn't help but notice that in addition to Bowling, Randle, and Moore making blocks 30-60 yards downfield, Grant Garner and Nick Martinez were right there at the one yard line at the end of the play. Martinez in particular was spectacular on that play. He started by checking the DT at the line, then moved downfield where he took TWO Cougars out of the play 10 yards past the LOS, then still continued down the field where he was looking to be involved should Kendall have cut back.
I know the DB is 5'9, but Blackmon out-jumped him by quite a bit, all while turning and fading toward the corner.
Appears to be Dana's experiment to put the best players on the field in some form, in this case the two FB's Ward and Paulsen. It seems to be a great alternative to using TE's, yet still providing extra protection. The only problem is that it needs a name. What about the "gunbone"? Oh right.. that's my wang's nickname. What about "shotbone"? "Fullbone"? "Funbone"? Why can't I think of any non-homoerotic names?

I called for 4 sacks, and we only had 3,
But that’s still freakin sweet. I’m hoping we can rack up 25+ sacks for the season, which is do-able I believe. Ugo getting nasty, hopefully ori has a strong year, go out on a high note.

Allright, I agree mostly
1) I wish Blackmon would have come on like this last year. But I’m glad as hell he’s here now.
2) As far as the DB’s go, I’m withholding judgement until the play someone with an o-line that resemble’s a division 1 school. The cougs line is just so bad, them might make me look good. But, that being said, they made the most of it, and looked good doing it.
3) The other receivers were making awesome blocks downfield, so even if the only get 4 catches or so a game, if they block like that we will be fine.
4) As far as a homoerotic name, I’m going to drop the homo and go for erotic, just straight up sexbone, or perhaps the “G” bone. Weak, I know, but its early. Also, Imagine the sexbone if Jeremy Smith comes on strong. Damn, just had my dick move.
5) As far as the big pass plays, on at least one I saw our LB make a wrong move, and the Safety had moved over to cover the other side of the field, leaving the LB alone in space, who then got burned and the safety had to sprint to save a td. I believe wholeheartedly that Bill Young will fix that.
6) Overall, we looked great, but still, and im a known sunshine pumper, this is still WSU, and they are not very good. But I’ll take a W anyway I can get it.
Yes. I forgot to mention how solid the downfield blocking by the WRs was.
And while I buy into the wash st is bad so take all of this with a grain of salt theory… we have played a lot of bad teams, yet we have only topped 60 points like 5 times since 1920. And it is one of the widest margins of victory ever. I think we are safe to take this performance mostly at face value.
I saw the dok call that formation “diamond”, which upon reading had zero effect on my D. I am thinking it needs to be more along the lines of “sexbone” or “the hott V”.

Oh no, I agree we crushed them.
And finally, we are starting to crush teams we should. If we score more than 50 against Troy my ability to contain my optimism will cease to exist. And we need a poll. Sexbone or the hott v.

The poll will happen. Happen hard.

New rule
1 Cheezy play on words joke per post. ;)
The new formation kind of looks like a bowling pins…. Not sure where I was going with that… Think we should just call it “The Flying V” and be done with it.
Always have faith in God, yourself, and the Cowboys.

I was very proud of the two puns in this post. Glad someone appreciates it.

Some media guys
were also calling it a “Full House” formation. Not too bad. I like poker. Still, I’m fairly sure the “Orgy” formation would work better.
