    Well one thing is for sure. When the game is on the line Asa Turner can be counted on for that tough tackle.

    Let’s let a Newton have an every down role before saying he’s not good enough. BTP it’s purely TBS faggotry why you think he’s not good enough.

    I bet he gets a little faster and works on the nuances. The balance and power are there. He’s great in short yardage.

    Ok! He’s never going to start here, hth

    Your post was fine, but I stopped reading at Newton is a more athletic Chris Polk.

    Um...no. You guys stroking yourselves over him should rein it in a bit. Hes not a feature back. He's a good platoon guy with average size, better than average strength at size, and below average speed.

    Polk had high 4.4 to low 4.5 speed at 220 lbs and was as capable and accomplished as a receiver as the guys playing receiver on those teams. He was also harder to tackle than Newton.

    I get huffy about disrespect for Polk and Sankey. Fucking recency bias.

    TYFYS chuck. He’s not good enough. He’s a Boise State level back.

    I like Dick Newton. He’s just not good enough. Have you seen Jonathan Taylor, Travis Etienne, JK Dobbins, Clyde Edwards Helaire, De’Andre Swift, Najee Harris etc.?

    Yes, I have.

    Nobody like that exists on the UW roster.

    This is why people tell you to shut up. That Ballz character really got into your head and made you retarded.
    Salvon can get it it done against Auburn, Bama, USC, Oregon etc. and has proven t.

    Dick Newton’s best games have been against WAC level competition. He’s not good and doesn’t have a high ceiling.

    This thread went from HIV to FBA shockingly fast.

    Offense:


    Our wide receiving core is going to be elite next year.

    No longer do we have to watch Fuller, Opera and to a smaller extent, McClatcher play wideout for UW. Gone are the days of 5'8-5'10 170 lb wideouts dropping passes, failing to get open and getting physically dominated over the middle.

    Next year's wideouts that should get serious run: Bynum, was easily our best wideout by season's end, guy is a gamer. Puca showed out before his injury and should turn into a no. 1 option. Spiker he got some run late in the season and made some big plays down the field for the Dawgs, one of the highest recruits we've ever gotten should finally get a real chance. Jones will be back and 100% healthy... he and Puca on the outside are going to be a mismatch nightmare. We should also finally see Osbourne get some good run, not to mention McMillan as an elite true frosh. We really do go 6 or 7 seriously talented wideouts deep in 2020 when at times WR felt like a serious weakness in 2018 and 2019.



    Don't forget about Odunze. That dude looks legit. He's big, physical and while he seems a bit slow off the line, once he picks up speed I don't know if anyone is running that guy down from behind.
    His 3.99 shuttle disagrees

    How do you think Newton is good when he can’t even get to the edge against Boise State DE’s lol?

    In case you missed it, Boise has put Doug Martin and Jay Ajayi into the NFL. Both guys had far more success than any Husky back over the last decade.

    So your comparison is fucking stupid.

    And your idea that Cam Davis is somehow the future ahead of Newton has no basis in reality. There is no evidence to point to that theory.

    Look at his 40 time vs his 100m time. 4.55 40 which is decent, but not really spectacular, even at his size. 10.6 100m, which is great at any size, never mind 6'3, 205lbs.
