Expansion plans
The Warriors are expected to expand the playing rotation for Saturday’s game against Oregon State.
Because of the flow of the game, some available players were not able to be used. That list includes slotback Keelan Ewaliko, running back Dominique Small and safety Daniel Lewis.
Ewaliko, who still is adjusting to offense, could ease the workload on slotback Scott Harding, who also is the punter and punt returner, and receiver Quinton Pedroza, who played a total of 95 plays at slotback and wideout.
The Warriors would like to lower running back Joey Iosefa’s carries — he had 30 against Washington — and that might mean Small joining a rotation that also includes Steven Lakalaka and Diocemy Saint Juste.
Lewis probably is the Warriors’ third-best safety. It appears that starting safeties Taz Stevenson and Trayvon Henderson played every defensive snap against the Huskies.

Tight end Jordan Pu‘u-Robinson should resume practicing after tweaking his ankle against Washington. The tight end rotation is this: 1) Pu‘u-Robinson, 2) Harold Moleni, 3) Justin Vele.
David Manoa should be a factor at tight end when he fully recuperates from a nagging injury.

Apologies all: We are troubleshooting some spam issues and, in the process, have lost a handful of comments from today.
The good news is, we think we’ve got the issue solved. The bad news is, it doesn’t look like the missing comments are coming back. We’re still working on it, but it looks like they’re gone. I’m really sorry about this.
ZAP!
Someone freed the electrons . . .
Hey, top 5 on the redo!!!
Hey, top 10! A glitch in time.
So I looked to see if there’s a Call the Coach Show tonight on 1420 with Chow.
No.
Now the station has an alternating format with different UH coaches every Tuesday. This makes a lot of sense to who?
Tonight Shoji is scheduled.
This sucks eggs…and who cares about a team that struggles with serving and passing.
I want football. There’s so much to talk about. There’s so many burning questions fans want to ask. But no. It’s not football season? …Is having a one hour show with Chow weekly too much to ask for?
The station can jump from the 22nd floor for all I care, it’s shooting itself in the foot big time. The old days of having a weekly Call the Coach Show with Mack or Jones were winners. Now the spot appearances with Chow (as the station did last season) is a losing bet, an idiotic approach of alternating different coaches weekly, and short changing the quintessential fans that want their football and hearing what the coach has to say on weekly basis.
I mentioned this before but I think Pedroza would be a better fit in the slot. Not fast enough on the outside but fast enough in the slot. UH would benefit from his height and speed playing in the slot position….
DFTT
New #8 … As long as UH wins, I would be fine with the Coach holding press conferences with the frequency of the groundhog on the mainland. But I agree it would be much better to have a weekly show with at least one football coach. Now that there is a lot less risk of 11 weeks of similar comments about losses and needed improvements, maybe the weekly football Call The Coach can return.
Use to enjoy the media interviews with Chow in the middle of the week leading up to the next game but as we all know it was cancelled by BJ to cut expenses.
#12 Maybe with a turnaround, I wonder if Oceanic would see such a show as advertising for PPV revenue.
UH 38- 10. Seeing how UW couldn’t even get the run going with their veteran O line, I think Hawaii owns the trenches and destroys Oregon State. For the first time in a long time, Oregon State will not be able to pass on us simply because of our newfound pass rush and Or St.’s inability to establish any sort of run. I believe Hawaii will expose Oregon St. in all three phases with a physicality that’s been missing since the Noga days. Chancing that fat moneyline this week.
Wow, I made the top 20 the hard way….
Hey! I made the top twenny!

ST:
did my dissertation about the Na Koa parking touch upon a sensitive subject and it was deleted from your blog? or, am I in a time warp that I cannot locate my post?
here, I was ready to tout my 1st amendment right to speak my mind on this blog – do I have a case for being discriminated against by the Star-Advertiser or whomever made the decision to delete my post?
speaking with Joyce, she agrees that she messed up by not notifying Na Koa parking members at Aiea Elem to expect a slow down because of the 200 parking spaces they sold to Aloha Stadium; that using a list only slowed down the cars from parking; that the police officer at the entrance was rude to us, general public, and Na Koa staff who was controlling parking ( he kept yelling at them that it was their fault for the huge backlog of cars on the Aiea off-ramp on H1) ; that HPD could have done a better job with traffic control on Salt Lake Blvd.
well, time moves on!
Hi all!
Long time no post or read, but wanted to see some comments about the game.
Personally, it was great to watch the game with my bestie Ronnie! We were screaming loud and proud, getting hoarse and she even hurt her hand. It was a loss but enjoyable to watch and there were a lot of things that showed some promise for me. We had so much fun! It was just great to be able to enjoy the game and see the team competing.
I liked the gutsy move of going for it on fourth down deep in Husky territory while we were already ahead. It didn’t go our way, but I would much rather see them try to stomp on their throats and maybe take the game to a level where they wouldn’t be able to come back and win. The big pass for a touchdown hurt and gave them momentum, but it sure was typical Chris Peterson style to do that. I just felt like if roles wee reversed he would have gone for it too because he surely enjoyed running the score up on us before. In the end, we still had a few opportunities to take the game back.
The defense impressed me and holding UW scoreless in the second half is definitely something to be proud of and build on. I also liked the effort of the receiving corp as opposed to last season. I will refer back to our fave line…you just gotta want it badder!! Scott Harding…what can you say about that dude…guts and for sure no sked!
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the pre-game tailgate this Saturday and hopefully some Chicken Hekka…*wink* to Ronnie!
Have a great week!!
Go Warriors!!
I’d like to see Patterson josey, and sayles get a few touches along with ewaliko. we have a need for speed offensively. how about st. juste with the ball too. just need to have a breakaway threat every now and then get his hands on the pigskin.
nice
Returning starter FS Marrell Jackson now apparently the 4th best safety?
Hmmm……

For some reason the blog won’t let me post the pix’s, will try again in the AM.
In the land of the vanishing posts… agree with those who think it would have been better for Ewaliko to pass out of a reverse instead of Kemp, but he hadn’t played a single down so sending him in on 4th down would have been a great big red flag to UDub. All the more reason to get him onto the field soon.
You guys having any problems posting over here? Other blogs are really messed up.
A-House, luckily I saved your excellent post over here

Hey Tsai-kos…again, a million apologies for today’s comment snaffu. I wish we could blame it on a junk system, or the coach calling the wrong play, but the truth is, the right guard (that would be me) simply missed his assignment and the quarterback (or, rather, your comments) got sacked.
In short, comments that were legit from long-time posters got tagged as spam, then purged. Shouldn’t have happened. Shouldn’t happen again. Once the program sees you’ve been tagged as a spammer, it sticks you back there for the next post. So we manually snag it out and put you back on the field.
Meaning, if it takes a little longer for your next comment to show up, that’s not because the whole thing is broken; it’s just part of what we have to do to right the ship.
We can’t thank you enough for your patience, both with today’s debacle and with this whole site transition. These things never go as smoothly as you plan ’em, but we’re working hard, every day, to make this site better, and we appreciate you sticking with it.

Trying to post watching tv.
If you had a goose that laid golden eggs why would you slow it’s production.
Same thing goes with having a prolific running back. Why slow down?
Go for it.
Play it by ear.
See what the situation dictates.
With all this new found excitement surrounding the Warrior team the last thing the coach would want to say is maybe-we-should-limit-Joey’s-carries-now. Huh?
Why say anything that’s backpedaling, restricting, capping…forget the coach speak.
Instead the coach would have been better off by saying we’re going to milk Joey for all he has…the sky is the limit!!! That statement in itself boost morale, confidence, imagination and sells tickets. The one I read on today’s blog doesn’t. So deflating. So Chow like. I don’t know…I can’t see it, maybe it’s me–“we’re looking to restrict the amount of Joey’s carries now.” Blah.
Must have been some confusion. That wasn’t my pick for the score at 45 – 10. Not mine. Quick check from Webster leaving post, was Wes’side Warrior with 45 – 10. Defense was good and held em’ to 17 last week, this week against OreState our Defense will hold them to 17 or less. The offense will make adjustments and do better than the 16 they scored against Washington. My pick, was 27 – 16 UH. But now that that score has been taken, by wafan, and that I have had some time to mull it over, and I haven’t posted my pick yet on other blogs, my pick will be 30 – 17. Please throw me in at 30 – 17.
Upcoming game against OSU…..Sean Mannion is a stud. This team not filled with the super talent that W has is still a very good team, as a team probably better than W. That being said I fully expect the Warriors to take a step forward likewise. A good solid physical first half will bode well for the outcome. Always said this is a “cardinal” rule of football….in order to win more than you lose gotta score 3X on offense. They score 3 or more TD’s they are in a strong position with anyone as long as it happens while game is in balance. No Danny Shelton so look for deeper passes and longer gains when running. That guy fed the backers and safeties by occupying so much “space”. This is gonna be a game. Last year it was long passes and 3rd down conversions that hurt the Warriors…..stop that and you can ring the bell!!!! Go Warriors
52. — If you don’t limit Joey’s carries, you may not see him around after awhile due to being physically beat up. Maybe don’t have to say you are thinking of limiting his carries, for the opponents info.
I agree with the coaches spreading the running game plays to include the other running backs, etc.
Need to take care of Iosefa for the long season. We gettum.
54- I agree that they need to limit Joey’s carries but that might not be an option. Right now he’s the only RB who is get positive yards. Too many times in the game I saw Lakalaka get stuffed, now we’re looking at 3rd and 6 or 7. If they gonna share the work load then the other RBs is gotta step up bigtime.
One thing that happened last year was that imho certain players that could’ve helped didn’t get enough play time. Tevita (LB) and Bubba Luna come to mind. Charles Clay didn’t play much until late last year I think. I would especially like to see Ewaliko spell Harding, since Scotty is so important to special teams. I’d also like to see Lewis, Josey and Patterson get in there.
Ding, ding, ding.
New post is up.
can someone post a link to the new post?
