DawgmanRadio: More Focus, Less Fire As Fall Camp Winds Down

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Husky Stadium today to watch their eighth and final practice of fall camp. And with it being Day 17 overall of fall camp, things are definitely winding down.With 10 days until UW lines up against Boise State on September 2, it's now all about fine-tuning and winnowing down the options on both sides of the ball and special teams to get to what will give them the best chance to beat the Broncos.To that end, there were a lot of scout team periods, working on details during individual periods, and thud tempo with no tackling allowed during a practice that saw the Huskies in shoulder pads and shorts.With the news that Cameron Davis and Gaard Memmelaar are missing 2023 with season-ending injuries, it was good to see a couple of other players who hadn't been at practice for a while - Tybo Rogers and Diesel Gordon - were back and practicing with the team.The Dawgman guys focused on the nature of practice, how it felt like it was more focus than fire compared to previous practices, and especially what the Huskies are going to do at the running back position.They also broke down how the reserve offensive line looked with Memmelaar now out, and also what some of the defensive players and coaches said after the practice. Elijah Jackson has landed the other cornerback spot opposite Jabbar Muhammad, and Sekai Asoau-Afoa has been getting looks with the number one EDGE unit along with Bralen Trice and Zion Tupuola-Fetui.They also spoke with Special Teams Coordinator Eric Schmidt, who gave a full breakdown on the kicking battle between Grady Gross and Addison Shrock, as well as who would line up at punt and kick return now that Giles Jackson has been limited and Cameron Davis is no longer available.The guys then give their final thoughts and there's also some more talk about Jen Cohen's move to USC and also a frustrating end to Washington's European Hoops trip.
