Jimmy Lake and Raheem Morris are polar opposites when it comes to playing a secondary. Lake likes to pressure an offense to force mistakes. He pressures them by playing aggressive secondary play making the QB hold the ball or risk a tight window throw. Lake doesn't believe in uncontested receptions. Under Lake the Huskies had one of the best secondaries in the nation. Their defense finished like 12th in the nation and was one of the best in takeaways. Lake wouldn't play a dud like Kendrick, or an overmatched Hill. He won't routinely leave the short zone wide open on every passing downs. That is why there was no pass pressure. Not because of lack of players when you have Floyd, Donald and Gaines. It was because the QB always knew his short zone receiver was going to be wide open.
As a Husky fan I watched Lake's defense force mistakes instead of waiting for one to drop into their laps. That is the difference between Lake and Morris.
