Ted Likes Dwayne Washington
So is there room for felicitously named Washington running back Dwayne Washington to squeeze into the picture without being accused of a photobomb? Washington, the player, certainly thinks so.
"I want to be better than everybody else," he said. "But my focus right now is on fall camp."
While he's going to have to climb over a number of more accomplished bodies to do that, few finished the regular season stronger than Washington, who totaled 383 of his 697 yards against Arizona, Oregon State and Washington State, averaging a stout 7.8 yards per carry and scoring five of his nine touchdowns. Explosive? He produced runs of 68, 51, 60 and 66 yards during that span.

Does Ted Miller realize DWash has a fumbling problem?

At that point Ted should have hit delete and the pipe -

Ted notes he could a lot of yards from catching passes also. Just confirms that fucktard doesn't do any real research.

How was he a WR in HS?

Ted also loves the cock.
Doesn't make it right. -

It's a well-documented fumbling problem.whatshouldicareabout said:Does Ted Miller realize DWash has a fumbling problem?

lol, no.

Ted's a shitty writer and auburn fan posing as a really really shitty writer and former UW fan trying to make us look mediocre by which the SEC looks better vis-a-vis they get blown even more by ESPN so he can move over to covering them, ergo we turn into a softball and women's world cup conference.
It's quite simple -
Maybe I'm Doogin' but it seems people are giving Washington some guilt by association because Ted Miller wrote the article.
He has size, he has speed, and he's farther along in his switch from WR to RB. Usually when he had nowhere to run, it was because the OL wasn't doing their job against the better teams in the league. -
Washington will be nothing more than a slightly above average back.

What other position on offense do we have anyone slightly above average? TE, maybe. That's it.CuntWaffle said:Washington will be nothing more than a slightly above average back.

I almost read that as "Washington will be nothing more than a slightly above average black."CuntWaffle said:Washington will be nothing more than a slightly above average back.
You guys have had a negative influence on me. You've contributed to me becoming a racist.
I was a Honda-esque liberal just a few years ago. Now, I'm a confederate flag-waving redneck.
DJ's right wing agenda has claimed another victim. Thanks a lot, assholes. -
I love Dwashes athleticism and you can't teach his ability to take it to the house, but being a good runner takes some intangibles. Reading a defense, manipulating a defenders momentum, knowing where they are now and where they will be, etc.HFNY said:Maybe I'm Doogin' but it seems people are giving Washington some guilt by association because Ted Miller wrote the article.

He lacks a lot of those intangible qualities, which is why he looks like he should be in the NFL and is praying for honorable mention Pac.
Do you trust the line to simplify his decisions and amplify his strengths? -
Washington will be the best back on the field. Enough said on that.
-
I get that he's a great athlete playing RB.
You can't teach what he has though and I still think there's more juice there for this guy to squeeze out of DW:

I want to like him too, but his vision sucks. Or at least it did last year. They tried to coach him up and then he ran soft. Maybe he will take to coaching better, but RB is an instinct position where guys have it or don't. I do fear that Washington is Rich Alexis with a little more speed.HFNY said:Maybe I'm Doogin' but it seems people are giving Washington some guilt by association because Ted Miller wrote the article.

He's hard to quit though. 6'2" 221 and legit 4.4ish speed. And he's a load for guys, especially DB's to bring down one on one (TD runs vs Eastern, Illinois, and UCLA). All 3 were highlight reel type runs and not 60 yard TD's where he didn't get touched. He has size, speed, and power, but he doesn't have the vision. Hopefully you are right that with coaching it can improve. -
From Dwayne Washington's bio- 2014: Named the team's Most Outstanding Offensive Player at the postseason awards banquet.
You know an offense is embarrassingly bad when a guy that rushed for 655 yards is named offensive player of the year. -

DWawrsh would be an ideal change-of-pace back, where teams would worry about him getting into space. If Coleman (I know, I know!) or Gaskin or Dry-Eye Knees or someone were able to take the majority of the load at TB with DWawrsh working in now and again we would be in much better shape.
He's the kind of guy that would actually make teams worry about a draw on 3rd and 8.
On 2nd and 7, though, he's nowheresville. -

DW was a different back when he returned from injury. The natural instincts will be hard for him to improve or develop but the fact that he turned things around gives me some hope. He is a home run hitter and can be a solid back if he improves his consistency. He's not going to help us against Oregon or Stanford but his home run ability can make a difference against the Arizonas and Cals.
I also think everyone here is giving up on Coleman too soon. He had 565 yards at 4.1 yards per carry. Not great but he's fairly consistent at getting positive yards, the problem is speed and elusiveness. He was only a freshman and has 3 years left. Willie Hurst averaged only 3.6 yards per carry as a freshman then averaged 4.7 his last 3 years. I read that Coleman shed a few lbs. Hopefully competition from DW and Gaskin will make Coleman positively surprise this season. -
I don't mind Coleman. Definitely not a game breaker but as he gets stronger and more physical he might be a legit back getting yards after contact. Never going to be a star but probably a spot starter And consistent contributor.HeretoBeatmyChest said:DW was a different back when he returned from injury.
