Nip (or is it Nap)I remember watching Nip on my at husky stadium while being recruited to UW. He would hit that outside edge and then you would see the safety coming over with the perfect pursuit angle. It was like Nip just sensed his presence as he kicked on another level of speed that just pulled away. Or the Nebraska game when was juking back and forth breaking several ankles and leaving jocks hanging all over the field. I had the opportunity to be teammates with CD and that guy was a pure grinder. He would run over you, around you, and would always get that extra yard after being tackled. If CD was more than a one and done he would have been an animal.

DillonI give the nod to Dillon. No running back at UW was ever so dominant on the field. He also got into the end zone more than any other before him. If I have any criticism of Kaufman it would be he had many fine runs that ended inside the 5 yard line, not the end zone.
Also, I notice people that say Nip will also qualify it by saying "because he played 4 years". If you have to qualify something, it isn't the best. -
DillonDillon. Fast RBs are a gimmick. Dillon killed defenses the right way. Dillon also averaged 18 yards a reception. Nip averaged 6. Obviously Nip had the 4 year career, but best player for one year? Dillon. He demoralized teams that year.

If we're living the life of OR, Dillon.
If we could live the life of AND, 1A. Corey Dillon AND 1B. Joe Steele. Both ran with authoritay -

Easy mistake though, seeing as they all look the same.

DillonLike I posted in the other thread had Dillon been a starter game one he would have been in New York for the Heisman. He had power and speed.
I saw Dillon quite a bit in person in 1996 on crisp afternoons with my dad, he was so dominant that year.
Lambright won 7,7,7,9,7,6 in the regular season as coach. Dillon was the difference for Lambo to finally rid being a seven win coach.
Dillon was a work horse too carrying the ball 35+ times a game. I also think Dillon might have a shot at the pro football HOF. Had he came back in 1997 I think the Huskies would have won the national title. -

Lambright was still the coach. Haven't you learned ANYTHING from the past 20 years?He_Needs_More_Time said:Like I posted in the other thread had Dillon been a starter game one he would have been in New York for the Heisman. He had power and speed.

I think Dillon was that good. Why Lambo normally a 7 win coach suddenly won 9 games with Dillon(one of which Dillon didn't start/hardly play). The team was 8-1 with a healthy Shehee and Dillon isn't as fragile as Shehee either.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Although you are right I think he would have still fucked up the Nebraska game somehow. -

Nip (or is it Nap)Inspirational Award: Joe Steele (1st RB a lot of current Dawg fans cheered for)
Best Bowl Back: Jacque Robinson
Wrong Era Award: CP
Best Single Season: Corey Dillon
Best Overall RB: Napoleon Kaufman -
Nip (or is it Nap)Dillon's sample size is a little too small. Had he played eight or ten more games, I'd give it to him fo sho.

PolkIf you can't see that Polk had the worst line, terrible QB play and a shitty, shitty coach then I can't help you.

Terrible QB play? Typical Noog. Jack saved Husky football. HTH.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:If you can't see that Polk had the worst line, terrible QB play and a shitty, shitty coach then I can't help you.

Lambo's prized running back recruit with 15 schollies, Ty Fotheringil. One of the best white tailbacks to ever wear the p&g. As sports Washington wrote back then..."you can't touch ty". Well that was true, you can't touch a Guy when he's warming up the pine

Polk was patient. He had to be because he had ZERO burst. Dillon is the best tailback to wear purple. Look at ASU when Shehee got the start in '95 vs Plummet, Terry battle and the great one, Bruce Snyder (the 5-year miracle worker). Look how different the UW offense was ONCE Dillon entered. Cost us the Rose Bowl.
Nipper was AWESOME too, but couldn't pack offense on his shoulders like CD! -
Dillon
We lost that ASU game 45-42 and Dillon even scored a TD in that game. We fell behind 42-21 then Brock Huard was put in for Shane Fortney. Plus that game was in 1996.puppylove_sugarsteel said:Polk was patient. He had to be because he had ZERO burst. Dillon is the best tailback to wear purple.
