Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

ALL Salvon Ahmed USAGE DRIVE 10 WILL BLOW your mind!!! WITH GIFS!!!!

A look at Salvon Ahmed usage against Utah

UW 11 total offensive drives (excluding the Knees at end of both halves)

1st Drive: used as a fly motion H back decoy for Gaskin 38 yard TD Run.

3rd Drive: w WTE Salvon is the singleback RB and Chico used as the fly motion decoy, 3 yards.

4th Drive: LB A gap blitz pass protection pickup. Goes low at both the LB and the NT on the play, probably should have been called for a chop block as Harris was engaged.

5th Drive: Salvon again lined up a Hback, play action where salvon runs out the backside of the formation for a pass, covered well by LBers that never bite on the Gaskin play action.

8th Drive: Salvon lined up as WR, fly motion across formation as decoy for Gaskin run.

10th Drive: most usage in game. Play 2 is a forced run into a stacked box, play three play design is fucked.

Play 1 is some weird Judo pass blocking move.

Play 2 is a forced run into a stacked box but with a possible cutback lane to his right that he misses

Play 3 is shit play design where Center is supposed to pull around the RG but the entire right side of the line seems to be blocking right and center is to fat and slow so he just fills the hole awkwardly and forces Salvon back into the LBers....

11th Drive: Salvon lined up as WR, fly motion across formation as decoy for Gaskin run.

"Used" a total of 9 times, 3 times as a fly motion decoy, 2 times in pass protection, 3 times handed the ball, 1 pass route. 5 total yards. Thats it.

Basically seems to be used in the bullshit Chico decoy role that used to be reserved for Jordan Polk or Jaydon Mickens. very little rhyme or reason, almost no creativity to get the ball in space, no chance for rhythm, if this is how he is going to be used for the rest of his career I would rather they just move him to full time slot WR and have him on the field more.

    I’m not sure Salvon is as good as most think he is. His vision isn’t great and he goes down on first contact way too much. We’re spoiled watching Gaskin who always seems to slip out of tackles, but still.

    Agree on the lack of creativity getting him the ball, though. He’s dangerous in the open field.

    This

    Dude can fly....but he takes some viscous shots when he runs the ball because of his lack of vision.

    Fuck, on play 2 of 10th drive I think Browning saw the cutback lane based on his reaction.

    I've been saying this for a while. Salvon is elite athletically. Like crazy fucking elite. The problem is that he's Napoleon Kaufman with @GrandpaSankey vision. It shows when he's in the backfield, and it sure as shit shows when he's returning kicks. I think his future might be at receiver. I'm actually concerned about our RB depth next year.

    This is an RPO where the QB should have kept the ball when the end commited to the RB. Fucking brilliant call HamdPete! Fucktardisim at its finest.

    Do you think the week leading up to the game, Utah made adjustments in practice, having their ends overcommit forcing Jake to run? It’s possible.

    Should HamdPete stop calling RPO’s? Probably.

    Also, these Gifs demonstrate what a bad ass Jaws is.

    I'm gonna bash Ahmed for trying to following his blocks through the huge hole sample is opening. He should have known Mcgeary would completely whiff his block after pushing the guy back two yards. We need a rb who always abandons the play before it develops and run straight into unblocked defenders.
