Check out the latest batch of weekly answers…

1) When Coach Howland gives an interview, do you think he is consciously trying to sound like Marlon Brando in the Godfather or is that just his personality? – BruinInSeattle
I think I just have to make him an offer he can’t refuse.

2) Hi Jon, any updates on Datone or Kai? If both are healthy soon do you think CRN will choose to redshirt them anyway? – GTBruin
Datone is still a ways away, from what I’ve heard, and Kai is definitely not coming back. At this point, I think he’d redshirt them anyway.

3) Against both Stanford and Arizona in particular, it seemed that UCLA pass rushers got to the QB, flushed him out of the pocket, and usually at least got a hand on him…only to see the opposing QBs scramble for 7-10 yard gains. What is wrong with the UCLA pass rush and how do the coaches fix it? – Blue Bruin
The problem is that the direct rusher’s teammates aren’t coming to help. Guys are getting tied up in blocks, and even if they get pressure, they are still in contact with the blocker. They need to improve at getting separation with the offensive linemen.

4) The two long pass plays – were they always in the offense but never called with Prince, called but checked out of, sack on play, pass thrown elsewhere, etc. or were these new plays with Brehaut in mind? – Mike H class of 90
They’ve been called before.

5) Not counting when ucla starting football, but could one say this may be the worst 5yrs of ucla football? Counting 2010 season (we have seen enough to forecast)? Not just factoring overall record, but QB rating, offense and defensive ranks too. – my mamma
Yeah, this is probably the worst stretch in team history, or at least modern history.
