The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - had a ton to talk about after the first day of Washington Football fall camp was put to bed. It was two hours of guys running around in their 'pajamas', according to Washington Head Coach Jimmy Lake, but there's still no time wasted, whether it's getting the newcomers up to speed or competing for a starting job.
The Dawgman guys first talked about the news of the day that came out of the post-practice press conference. The good news was that sophomore outside linebacker Zion Tupuola-Fetui is expected back much sooner than originally anticipated after suffering a non-contact achilles injury during spring football.
The not-so-good news was that two inside linebackers - Miki Ah You and Will Latu - would not be part of the program this year, as Lake said they were dealing with some 'personal and family' issues that needed to be resolved.
There was one more piece of good news: Lake stated that Dylan Morris was most definitely the starting quarterback, although he later amended the news to say that the competition is always open and if Morris doesn't continue to improve and Patrick O'Brien continues to impress, O'Brien could be in line to take over the spot. But in all the years we've been covering the team, you could count the number of times the head coach has announced the starting quarterback after the first practice on one hand. It's just never done.
After a quick break to pay some bills, Scott recapped what he saw on the offensive side of the ball, while Chris tackled the defensive side. They also talked briefly about some of the things they saw when the team went through their special teams periods, including the fact that both Peyton Henry and Tim Horn made all of their field goal attempts to end practice.
