I could honestly see Cam Davis selling the couch. He's been solid, not great. With DeBoer bringing in a bunch of RB transfers for the 2nd year in a row, Cam might see an opportunity to be THE GUY somewhere like SJSU
113 receptions the last two seasons for Johnson, yeah he was playing in the air raid but still an impressive stat. McMillan had 118 the last two seasons and Rome had 116.
And he left because he wasnt getting enough touches.
Which is kind of interesting, because he will compete with at least Davis, maybe Ngata or Newton, for touches.
It's interesting the staff brought in Ngata at all
Interesting indeed, I think you’re right about one or two of the depth guys transferring out of the logjam. I would guess Ngata was brought in because he’s a bit of a savant in pass pro, but doesn’t bring much else to the table. None of these guys are the complete back that can catch the ball, pick up blitzes and be reliable in short yardage like Grubb/DeBoer are looking for out of that position. Tybo Rogers would be that guy but he’ll need to sit for a year or two before he can be counted on

Maybe but he's dreaming if he thinks he can be "the guy". He's kind of a one trick pony...run into someone really hard or elude them, go out of control and fall forward for a decent gain but with yards left out there.
He's a fast, explosive dude with slow reactions/vision and no balance. I'd rather he recognize what he offers and stay. I'd also like to see him return more kicks.
Nice work by the staff to turn over the RB room. Looking for Pickle Rick Newton, and Dill Johnson to be the guys next year with Ngata and Sam Adams Jr as the depth guys.
It'll be Johnson and Davis. Rich will have a limited role like this year but he still brings value.
Wasn't sure what to make of Davis coming off the Alamo.

Ummm Johnson is.
not a big fan of PFF but to each their own
Im sure your football casual genius knows much more.

what is this take? he's getting a 140+ touches again here next year.

Then why did Johnson bother transferring in?
Something is weird with this RB room but I definitely trust the coaches

It'll be the same situation with Taulapapa? Johnson probably gets 180+ touches and Davis 140+. Keeping good RBs (they both are) fresh is important for later in the year.
Everyone wished Taulapapa was more athletic. Well, here ya go.
Tualapapa looked athletic as fuck against Texas
He really did.
His 42 yd Touchdown required speed and power and he held off the DB at the end by outrunning him, I was shocked.
Wayne's vision was elite by season's end. I will actually miss him, even though he screwed up a couple games by fumbling (UCLA) or inexplicably falling down (ASU).
He got 10 yards out of a couple runs against Texas that every other UW rb would have had 0. He finishes the year with 887 yds. 6.3 ypc and 11 TDs.

He also finished with 24 receptions for 225 yards and 1 TD.
So he finished with 1,112 yards on offense which was between Odunze and McMillan and 12 TDs which was second on the team behind Davis (13 TDs)
He exceeded expectations given that he didn't produce very much in his 3 years at Virginia
Every season atleast one running back goes out with injury, DeBoer likes his role guys, I can see 1 or two leaving, i think overall the stable is really solid. I'm not sure we beat Oregon or Texas without Towelpopper, I very much TYFYS

I was optimistic about Dumas but I guess not happening. Can Adams switch to safety yet?
I don't see what his role is and won't until fall I suppose.
