Looks like we are not the only team with questions at QB

The competition will be a four-horse race between Miles, Jeff Lindquist, K.J. Carta-Samuels and Troy Williams to win the starting quarterback job. Petersen isn’t too worried which quarterback receives the first repetition at the start of camp Monday.

“I don’t even know,” Petersen said. “That’s how important I think it is, or don’t think it is. All these guys are going to get reps. We’ll divide the quarterbacks up two and two — I believe Jeff and Troy will go in the morning; K.J. (Carta-Samuels) and Cyler (Miles) will go in the afternoon. That’s the hard one right there…how do you get your quarterbacks all the reps that they need when you’re trying to look at all these guys. That’s going to be tricky all the way through fall camp. We’re going to continue to evaluate it day by day, to tell you the truth.”

UW Huskies give the boot to DE Marcus Farria
Posted by John Taylor on August 5, 2014, 11:11 AM EDT

A promising defensive lineman will have to fulfill said promise somewhere other than Washington.

Over the weekend, Chris Petersen announced that Marcus Farria has been dismissed from the UW football program. The reason given by the first-year head coach was, of course, the ubiquitous “violation of team standards.”

4. Washington (Last year: 9-4; beat BYU in Fight Hunger Bowl) The University of Washington did the impossible; they pried Chris Petersen out of Boise and made him their new head coach. Petersen inherits a talented roster built slowly over time by previous head coach Steve Sarkisian. After three straight 7-6 seasons, the Huskies finally broke through with an 9-4 campaign in 2013. The team then lost it’s head coach, quarterback and workhorse running back. Change of that degree will likely cause the Huskies to take a small step back during the upcoming season. While Peterson was ultra-successful during his eight seasons at Boise State, his team stumbled last year and lost four games for the first time in eight years. The last coach to have that type of success at Boise then finish with a four-loss team before moving to the Pac-12 was Dan Hawkins. Furthermore, there are still questions at quarterback for the Huskies. Cyler Miles hasn’t shown he’s ready to take over the team. Until one of the quarterbacks does, the Huskies will have to rely on a talented defense, particularly a defensive line that features nose tackle Danny Shelton and defensive end Hau’oli Kikaha.

Well as usual I am going to ignore all the negative stuff. I am so looking forward to seeing this team and getting to know what their character and abilities are. I have great hope for the team (as usual) and I have no expectations just do your best Rainbow Warriors. I'll be cheering you on from Kauai.

I hope to see a huge improvement with our running backs. I think we got the coach at that position I have been waiting for.

And the Huskies roster gets thinner still

Petersen suspends one, dismisses another from UW Huskies

Posted by John Taylor on August 23, 2014, 12:42 PM EDT

The new sheriff in town isn’t screwing around, in case his players haven’t previously noticed.

In a press release early Saturday afternoon, Washington announced that tight end Derrick Brown (pictured) has been indefinitely suspended from the football team by head coach Chris Petersen for violating unspecified team rules. Additionally, defensive back Devon Washington has been dismissed from the football program for the same vague reason.
