Just watched the highlights. Kid flashed like crazy, at what point does he bounce Ahmed and his 2.9 ypc for the starting gig?

Mickey Avalon would be proud.

Ahmed looks like he is getting lit up on every tackle. Truly strange. Never seen another RB as big as him get brought down so easily, usually while getting borderline de-cleated

Ahmed has a rashad penny like ability to find tacklers and run into them.

Switch Ahmed to WR

Speed means jack when you lack vision. I only need my running back to run 5-10 yards on most plays. Give me the dude who can find the hole any day. Coleman and Gaskin had that, Ahmed does not.

Similar things can be said about our undersized receivers that recruiting nerds hate. Give me a guy who can catch the fucking ball and run routes over the big fast dude with a case of the dropsies. Of course both is preferred and Belichick agrees.

You're telling me teams don't meet at midfield and compare recruiting star rankings, and the team with the most stars wins?

They usually do, but everyone looks like Jim Thorpe in their high school tape.

Keep Ahmed where he can thrive. Change of pace back for screens and using him as a hybrid wr/back who comes in for the jet sweeps/reverses. He has an incredible ability to beat guys to the edge. Anything between the tackles, woof

I agree. Find ways to put him in space. Plus he could give you some run when needed.

Ahmed stops his feet too much. He gets going then he completely stops in order to make a cut, and loses all momentum. He allows defenders time to square him up and he never breaks any tackles because of it.

I wish we had Charbonnet, but I guess Dick Newt and McGrew will have to do. They look ok, but that's no reason to forgive us missing on Charbonnet who looks amazing, or the fact that Ahmed hasn't developed.

I like how Dick really hits the hole. Still hoping Ahmed blows up this year.

I feel like Ahmed has gotten worse since we've been coaching him. He used to run straight at the hole and just plow with his speed, but then it seems as if our coaches tried to mold him into a *patient* runner like Gaskin was, and the more *patient* they've tried to make him... the worse he has become.

Ahmed is Louis Rankin redux. He'll probably have a great senior year.

Ahmed sucks as a rb. I thought the other dude looked natural.

Yeah, there was one play where he beat the whole fucking eastern team to the edge it was comical.

Someone said CHico role and i agree. Get him the ball in space, but he does not seem like a prime time RB at this point.
