I think Cooper and Callier are going to be fighting for scraps. Washington is the clear #2 RB. That kid runs hard and does not avoid contact.

Whoa...you said something smart. What the fuck got into you today?

I think Callier will be a good all purpose back in the offense, just maybe not for a while or even this year. Hopefully he can get back to the point of returning kicks with Smith on the kickoffs again. That was the only time our return team was any good on kickoffs.

You know, Taylor getting RS'ed, and Callier being pushed back is actually a good thing. Shows we finally have enough depth to have legit position competitions, and sometimes, the older guys lose.

I mean, with Sankey holding down the starter slot, it's nice to see a RS Freshman just take the back up role. Not us have to give it to him because the guys in front of him all suck. Taylor and Callier don't suck. They may not be all world, but they would be solid contributors on most Pac-12 teams.

Pretty sure Sark said something about him still being tentative to hit the holes hard... it's psychological not physical.

Dude has balls you would need to haul around in a wheelbarrow to even be out there. If I blew out three knees in three years, no way would I go out there to get pounded on by 300 pound pissed off DTs.

and honestly, balls that big will certainly slow you down... could explain the lack of explosion trying to drag those upfield.

Randy Marsh agrees.

It also didn't help that on several of his runs, interior linemen were getting knocked 5 yards into the backfield.

I know it's early, but I'm pretty confident that John Ross is going to make Callier and Smith obsolete in the KR department.

while I'm pro-LIPO, i'm pretty sure he's already accomplished this.

AtomicDawg

Is this part of the two game minimum he will provide in the win column?
Ross is good enough to be on the field but he has two returns. One horrible and one good.
I reserve my right to doog it up about ross when he consistently does it in conference games.
